Does Aperture work on my RAW or JPEG files?

When using Aperture only one image appears, although both RAW and JPEG are stored originally.  What am I actually editing, RAW or JPEG?  How can I tell what is happening?
Thanks

Hello, that depends on how you imported your RAW-jpeg pairs.
With the above setting the RAW will be used, with "jpeg as master" the jpeg.
To change your setting after import, see this post:

  • Does aperture 3.5 support RAW for Olympus E-M1

    Does Aperture 3.5 support RAW for the new Olympus E-M! camera yet?
    Thanks

    I understand, why you are cautious with updates and do not want to jump on the bandwaggon, since you need to keep your equipment working. The upgrade to Mt. Lion is worth it. It makes Lion more usuable.
    Why is EM-1 RAW compatibility NOT installable on OS 10.7.5...!
    SInce Lion has Apple changed the raw support strategy. Raw support is now part of the operating system and no longer an update to the applications. Apple did not say why, we can only speculate - but this new strategy makes it possible to write the raw support, so that it will profit from the better support for multi kernel processors in the newer systems, so that raw developement can be computed more efficiently on the new MacPros.

  • Does Aperture use Adobe Camera Raw in any way?

    Does Aperture use Adobe Camera Raw in any way? Is it important than I upgrade ACR if I do not use Photoshop?

    Thanks for the relies, guys!
    I suspected that there was no connection between Aperture and ACR, but wanted confimation of that fact. You've answered my question.
    Thanks again,

  • I have uploaded raw and jpeg files directly from my camera to my iPad (latest version) I have processed them in snapseed and want now to transfer back to my pc for further processing. How can I do this will a flash drive work?

    I have processed my raw and jpeg files on my iPad using Snapseed . What format are they saved in on the iPad and how do I transfer them back to my pc where I use photoshop elements. Can I use just an ordinary flaws drive with the USB adaptor? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

    The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files form a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

  • Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Jpeg Files and Metadata

    I have been using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) with my Canon EOS 30D, an 8 MP camera, for a while now. I would make non-destructive changes to the raw file (.CR2) in ACR where the changes would be stored in an adjoining .xmp file. Jpegs of the unedited and edited camera raw files would be created so I have a before and after versions of the images that can be viewed anywhere.
    Now I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, a 22 MP camera and the raw files are much larger. I’m looking at using camera raw on jpeg files for some for my more casual photo shoots in order to save disk space. From what I have read, I can use ACR on jpeg files and that the changes would be stored in the metadata in the jpeg file. Is there a way for the changes to be stored in an adjoining .xmp file so that the original jpeg file is not modified, much like it is done with the .CR2 files?
    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 machine. All software is up-to-date.
    Also, I have found that Adobe’s camera raw handing is different than the raw handling of the photos using Canon’s software (DPP). Is there a way to make ACR closer to what Canon’s software does?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Probably not going to happen.
    I agree, Canon's color is better than Adobe's in general - I just didn't know how good the Camera Standard profile might be for your particular camera.  I had hoped maybe they'd made it a very close match.
    Some time ago I got a very nice genius-level Camera Raw forum member named Vit to make me a custom profile that exactly matches the Canon color for my 40D, even to the point of emulating the way Canon fits the entire gamut of the captured image into the sRGB color space, so I'm more than happy.
    Others might tell you that you're silly for wanting the color to match, but I understand completely your position - if you do get that kind of feedback just ignore it and push on.
    Once you've set up a default to use Camera Standard, you may well be able to tweak the dozens of color controls to bring the Adobe default into line with the Canon color.  I did that once before getting my special 40D profile, comparing embedded raw file JPEGs with the Camera Raw preview display with a variety of images - it was tedious but effective.
    Best of luck.

  • Viewing both RAW and JPEG files in iPhoto

    If I use the new Apple SD card reader to download image files from my camera, it is my understanding that by default it brings over both the RAW and JPEG versions of the same images to the iPad Mini (since my camera is taking both types with each image).
    Will these then show up as two separate images in iPhoto? The reason I'm asking is because if I have to bring over the RAW files, I want some way of then deleting them off my iPad because they take up to much HD space. 
    No one I've talked to at Apple seems to know if there's a way to bring over just the JPEG files I want when using the SD card reader, which seems like a huge oversight in functionality to me.
    Thanks, David.  

    LarryHN:
    1) your suggestion will not work for the issue I'm describing: if I have both Raw and Jpeg files of the same image on my SD card, the iPad sort of lumps these together, so when I view the contents of my SD card it shows as one image/file, and if I select it and download it, it brings over both the Raw and Jpeg versions of the image, which is what I am trying to avoid and why I started the tread in the first place.
    2) I spoke with sales people at two Apple stores and one person with their online sale, and none of them could addrss my issue. The online sales person said she might have to put me through to their tech people to resolve this or at least get the full, correct info. None of them were janitors.
    I did find a workaround which I think will work:
    Download the files over to my iPad, then use an app like Photo Manager Pro to be able to view the files by type, then select the Raw files and delete them from my iPad. This will work I hope, but seems like a lot of extra work for a device that's supposed to be user friendly--I think Apple missed the boat on this one, opting for making things 'simple' instead of functional for photographers.

  • I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

    I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

    If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
    If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

  • Viewing both RAW and JPEG files in iPhoto (or somehow on a Mini)

    I'll be traveling later this year and I'm looking to get a tablet so I can view and do some light editing of my images while I'm on the road.
    If I use the new Apple SD card reader to download image files from my camera to the iPod Minin, it is my understanding that by default it brings over both the RAW and JPEG versions of the same images (my camera is taking both types with each image).

    Thanks. David

    Leonie, you have pretty much confirmed what I found out as well.
    When using the Apple SD card reader there is no way to only import JPEG files when there are corresponding RAW files on the card. The iOS or photo import app treats them as one image and imports both files together, regardless of the fact that most apps will not read or edit the RAW files and also that they take up a huge amount of space.
    I've only found one way of getting rid of the Raw files, but still 'keeping' the Jpegs: import them all to the iPad, then edit the images in an app like Snapseed, then do a 'save as' (which Snapseed does by default) so you've created new Jpeg files; you can then go back and delete the originals.
    That seems like a whole lot of work to get around the iPad's lack of functionality, and because of this I'm looking at an Asus Nexus 7 tablet instead. Besides all this, the Nexus allows me to copy files back to a flash drive or memory card, adding to it's usefulness.
    I think this is a huge design flaw on Apple's part. It's one they could easily fix by giving you a choice to only importing the Jpeg files, or just Raw or both. Not a big deal really.
    I sort of grok the 'paradigm' behind it, which is to have people work with data, images, or projects, and not files. But in this case, it is not serving people, especially more serious photographers. It makes me suspect if the developers even asked photographers what they would need from the iPad--sort of placing it back in the toybox, as opposed to being a real tool for photographers.

  • Why is Lightroom5 copying both RAW and Jpeg files into the destination folder ?

    Hi all Lightroom experts,
    I want to copy the RAW files from my SD csrd to my Drobo harddisk. And everytime I did that, Lightroom copied BOTH the raw & jpeg files
    How do I instruct Lightroom to copy only the RAW files ?
    Just to disgress a bit, in fact the same problem happens in Adobe Bridge despite me selecting only the RAW files to be copied but it always copied both !!
    Any tips ?
    Thanks

    You can tell Lightroom to treat JPGs next to RAW as separate photos, or treat the JPG as a sidecar file using the instructions here:
    Lightroom Help | Set import preferences
    If the JPG is a sidecar file, the JPG is still imported but doesn't show in your Library module.
    If you really don't want to import the JPGs, you'd have to select the RAWs but not the JPGs in the Import dialog box; or import them all and then delete the JPGs from Lightroom and your hard disk (easier, but takes a little longer); or don't shoot RAW+JPG
    Thanks dj_paige and F.MacLion for the solution.
    Can I check, if i tick the the check-box and ask LR5 to treat the jpeg as a separate file, FR5 won't import the jpeg files (which is what I wanted) but will LR5 still generate a sidecar file for each of my RAW files ? (I hope it does)
    Thanks

  • Match RAW to JPEG File

    Hi,
    I moved my iPhoto library to Aperture over a year ago and so far this has been an excellent move. Previously in my iPhoto library I would import RAW+JPEG. Once the import was completed in iPhoto I would export the raw to an external hard drive for archive and then remove the raw file from the iPhoto library. When I upgraded to Aperture I imported my iPhoto library as it was with the jpeg images - no raw images. What I would like to do is somehow link the jpeg files that are now in Aperture back to the RAW files that are sitting on the external hard disk as a referenced master. Is this possible or do I need to look at importing the RAW images from the external hard disk into the Aperture library and set them as referenced? I have approx 8000 images so im looking for a way to make this as painless as possible.
    Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Mark

    I totally agree with Rob. JPEG file size limiters should not be used unless you absolutely don't care about image quality degradation. I can't imagine what application where that would be acceptable.
    JPEG compression efficiency at any given Quality setting varies typically in the range of 5:1. Using a file size limit means the images with the least detail will be saved at very high quality setting (i.e. 90-100), and images with the most detail will be saved at much lower Quality settings (0-50). This is the exact opposite of what you want to do!
    Unless you use a large file size limit some of the exported JPEG images will probably have visible JPEG artifacting. You are better off determining your threshold of acceptability for JPEG artifacting (i.e. Quality 50-70?) Then use that Quality setting for your exports without restricting files size. The resulting "average file size" will be less than using a larger file size limit.
    Tips for further reducing files size of Exported JPEG images:
    1) Use conservative sharpening settings in the Develop and Export modules (i.e. don't over-sharpen)
    2) Use sufficient Color and Luminance Noise Reduction settings to reduce visible noise in the image.
    3) Make sure "Remove Chromatic Aberration' is checked in the Lens Corrections Color panel.
    Following the above suggestions can reduce exported JPEG file size by 50% or more, especially for high ISO raw image files.

  • How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

    How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

    Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.

  • Why does Aperture 3,not process RAW files from Leica D-Lux 5 ?

             Hello:
    The purchase of my Leica D-Lux 5 came with LR 3. All raw files can be processed in that Application.However.I also have Aperture 3 and it will not process RAW files from the D-Lux 5.I hope that Apple soon will address this inconvenience.Has anyone els had the same problem?
    Hoping for a solution;Thanks John Basso.  Mac OS X 10.6.7

    I can tell you that it does process them from Panasonic LX5's - I have one. The files are probably very similar with slightly different processing metadata and a different tag. It is possible to change the tag in the RAW file prior to import that "fools" aperture into thinking that the RAW is the same as a camera that is supported. I have done this with other cameras where the RAW files were really the same but the camera was not yet "officially supported" at the time I bought it.
    I kinda remember doing it to the EP-2 or was it the EPL-1? Don't remember but there are plenty of tools that will allow this - google is your friend.
    Just make sure that your install of Ap3/OS X DOES actually have support for the LX5... Might work but I have not tried it.

  • Does aperture invert B&W negative film scan files (raw format)?

    hi, I'm new to aperture.
    I need it mainly to fix the luminance levels to my raw files that I get scanning my negative B&W films.
    obviously I need to invert them befor fixing the levels, can apeture do that or I need to use an external application or my scanning software (vuescan).
    would be great to use aperture because doing so would speed-up my scanning workflow.
    regards G.
    Imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I second that. Vuescan will give you much better control over the final product than almost any other scanner software. You can find it here:
    http://www.hamrick.com/
    Which reminds me, that I probably need to get the latest version! It has been a while since I upgraded.
    You can install it and try it for free - it will watermark your images until you pay.

  • Does Aperture work well with itunes

    I recently exciled iphoto from the kingdom. I am reading that aperture is a good next step. I had lightroom but was a mess working along side iphoto (i used iphoto to sync with all my apple stuff). Question is will aperture organize, sync and allow iphone, ipad and macbook to talk at sync in itunes without a bunch of headache?
    Is there a better organizer out there with more controls than iphoto without leaving copies of photos everywhere. LR kept originals and I had **** getting iphoto to operate on its own without LR controling the game.
