Converting raw files post editing

I'm new to iPhoto as I usually use Photoshop CS4...after my hard drive was replaced, CS4 would not run.
Soooooooo
After I edit a RAW file in iPhoto, how do I convert it to jpeg for sharing, storage, printing, etc?

To add to what Larry said:
The Raw workflow is like this:
Import a Raw. It's copied in as a byte by byte copy. Then a Jpeg Preview is made automatically.
Why the preview? As you know, you can't really do much with a Raw - print it, use it in a slideshow or in a document - so iPhoto creates the preview so the shot is available in other apps immediately.
When you edit the Raw your decisions are recorded in the iPhoto Database, your Raw file is untouched - just like any photo in iPhoto. The Prevew is updated with your new decisions.
If you then share the file via the Media Browsers etc, it's the Preview that get shared. You can print it from iPhoto.
Other than that you can then export it in a variety of formats - Jpeg, Tiff, Png for more varied options. You do this via the File -> Export command. This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
As for storing: it's stored in the iPhoto Library and permanently available.
The difference at heart here is that CS4, which you're used to, works as a file editor. iPhoto works as a non-destructive photo processor.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

Need a plugin to convert Raw files with CS 6 standalone version. 8.7.1 version of ACR is not compatible with CS 6 in non-cloud form.

We have a site license for CS6 for our company and for the past year have not been able to convert RAW files from our newer cameras using Adobe Camera Raw. We do not want to use the Cloud version as we work off laptops in the field and overseas and even our offices have only dial-up for internet access where we are located in Monterey.
Can anyone recommend a plugin raw converter so we can continue to batch process our files with CS 6?

The camera raw 8.7.1 plugin should work fine in the photoshop cs6 non cloud license version.
The only exceptions being if you have mac os x 10.6.8 or windows xp/vista, then 8.3 is the newest camera raw plugin that works.
Which operating system(s) do you have?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get the 8.7.1 camera raw plugin.
Here's an 8.7.1 camera raw plugin installer for photoshop cs6

Converting raw files into tiffs and preserving the orig. date created

How do I get the original date created to show up in folders when converting raw files into tiffs? Once converted the original date created is in the "file info" window but does not show up as the original date created in the designated folder. It is displayed as the same date as date modified.

Thanks Mylenium
As Mylenium has said, this information can be added later by various means. It will also depend on the software you are using on what date it is reading!
As an example there are:
The files date created
Photoshop schema DateCreated
EXIF schema DateTimeOriginal
XMP schema CreateDate
For an external tool you can use ExifTool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
or you could try to get a script written in the Photoshop or Bridge scripting forums.

HOW TO CONVERT RAW FILES TO JPEG RGB 8 BIT in iphoto

Can someone please tell me how to convert RAW files to jpeg RGB 8 bit in iphoto on an iMac?

How are you trying to "export to Mypics"? The only way to get a Raw out of iPhoto is to export with the Kind set to Original.

How to convert raw files from new fujifilm x-t1 ?

how to convert raw files from new fujifilm x-t1 ?

The work around of converting the CR2 to dng either with the dng converter or ACR 6.7 will allow working in LR and CS5 but not with the latest raw conversion engine from Adobe i.e PV 2012.
Remember to keep a copy of the CR2 files if you wish to utilize the Canon software.

DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D.

DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D (it does not see them). I tried DNG converter version 8.2 and 8.4. No success. I use iMac. What is wrong?

hopefully, that's a typo on adobe's website because they list the canon 70d as using a .cs2 file extension, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
i don't see any other camera that uses a .cs2 extension and i don't see other people having problems, so that probably is a typo.
in any case, cr 8.2 or better is able to convert your camera's raw files. why you are having a problem i can't say, but double check that you are navigating to the correct folder by adding a file that will show up in your dng converter.

Convert mts files for editing in Final Cut?

Is there a way to convert mts files for editing in Final Cut Express or Pro?

Well, first, if you are talking about AVCHD video, FCE & FCP can directly import it from your camcorder. They will also import AVCHD from an SD card or even your hard drive provided you have saved the entire AVCHD folder structure, not just the .mts files by themselves.
If you only have the .mts files (without the surrounding AVCHD folder strucutre) then you should be able to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec for editiing in FCE. MPEG Streamclip is free and works great.
If that doesn't work, then look into ClipWrap, which has a $49.99 price tag.
This will work the same for converting .mts files to ProRes assuming you already have FCP installed, which gives you the ProRes codec.
FCE & FCP do not, however, directly import video from DSLRs because the camera manufacturers have each done some proprietary stuff in their implementation of video in their DSLRs. However, if you have a Canon DSLR & FCP (that is, FCP 7) there is a Canon EOS video plugin that will enable you import the video directly from the DSLR into FCP7. Not sure it's supported on Lion (10.7.x) just yet, but if you have a Canon DSLR it's worth a look.

New mac pro slow converting raw files any help?

hallo everybody,
can someone help?
my new mac pro 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 is converting raw files in camera raw really too slowly, about twice the time took with an iMac 2,7 GHz.
I tryed all graphic processor options on PS preferences.
I also ran mac check up utility and hardware seems ok.

The normal suspect would be that you haven't rendered out the previews, but the low cpu value would indicate that the problem actually lies elsewhere. Even so, it would do no harm to run the Render Standard-sized preview command (Library module View menu)
Next thought is the operating mode. Lightroom 2.x can run as either a 32-bit or 64-bit application. With the amount of ram you have installed (very low for a box with this sort of power) you might find 32-bit is the best choice. You can change the mode by clicking on the Lightroom application icon then use the Get Info command (Cmd+I) to open the info panel
Tip: you would be well advised to increase your installed ram. Lr likes plenty of ram, especially in 64-bit mode. A good starting point would be 6GB or even 8GB

It depends on the sofware you have. ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) hosted by Bridge or by Photoshop can convert ("open") raw files, as can Lightroom.
However, not all camera models are supported by all versions of the software. We need to know the make and exact model of the camera that generated the raw files to advice you further.
We can also assist you with the conversion through ACR hosted by Photoshop.
Olease note that there are dedicated forums for Lightroom, for Adobe Camera Raw and for Bridge.
Here's the list of which cameras are supported by each version of ACR. Note that later versions supporte all camera models supported in previous versions of ACR.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
Note that the latest version of ACR to run in CS4 is ACR 5.3;
CS3 runs ACR 4.6;
CS2 runs ACR 3.7;
CS runs 2.4.

Updated Camera list for converting Raw files in PSE7

I am looking to instal an updated CameraRaw.8bi file to accomodate recent cameras.
Camera updated needed for Canon powershot G15.
Regards Daz.

Photoshop Elements 7 supports Adobe Camera Raw from version 4.5 to 5.6 only.
Please refer following document for you reference:
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Canon Powershot G15 starts supported from Adobe Camera Raw version 7.3.
Hereby,raw files from particular camera is not supported in Photoshop Elements 7.0.
However, you can use DNG converter to convert Raw files into DNG and import in CS4 aaplication.
The Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw files. DNG files are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how the image should look. Camera raw image settings can be stored in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the camera raw database.
You can download the latest DNG convert from following place:

CONVERT RAW FILES FROM 5D MIII

Can someone please tell me what they are using to convert RAW files with the new Canon 5D Mark III? This is a bummer!!

You assert the DNG Converter does not convert Canon 5D Mark III files. This assertion is false. The question is not whether you know how to use a computer, it is whether you know how to use the DNG Converter. If this is your first time, it is confusing in that it does not show you any files when you browse for the folder to convert files from. This is still the most likely explanation of your situation based on what you’ve said.
Here is a screenshot of a conversion of a 5D Mark III image with the DNG Convert 6.7 RC using a RAW image downloaded from the following website:

Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

Hi,
Sorry, but with the information you have given, the only answer I can give is "possibly".
Each camera model produces a slightly different raw format - even different models by the same manufacturer and even if they have the same extension (file type). The latest cameras will not be supported by older versions of Photoshop Elements although there is a converter which can help.
To give you a better answer, we need to know
1) The camera make and model
2) The version of Photoshop Elements that you are using
3) The operating system that you are running on.
