Exporting RAW to jpeg and keeping the develop changes?

Hi.  I have my RAW files and catalogs safely backed up on external drives. Now I want to export some files to DVD's.  I want these to be hi res jpegs with all the develop changes I made to them in LR, in case I ever want to go back and work on them again.  I've done some tests and when I look at these exported photos in LR I see the photo as it was when I finished developing it but with none of my develop settings.  How can I do this?  Thanks

I understand the need for redundant raw files and catalogs, that's why I have 3 copies on various drives at home.  I'm looking for off site storage (and I hate monthly fees to store them in the cloud) so I thought I'd put them on DVDs and store them at work.  These are copies I hope I never have to use but if I do I'd like the originals and all my edits.  I was hoping to use jpegs to save a little space.
JimHess says I can't do it and 99jon I tried your method but I must be doing something wrong because it didn't  work.  If you all tell me I should just use my OS to copy the original RAW files and the catalog to DVD (that how I backup to internal and external drives now),  I'll do that, I was just looking for a way to do it in LR.

  • Exporting RAW to JPEG and TIFF

    Evaluating LE to hopefully improve some workflow. I noticed however, that when export to a JPEG or TIFF format the file size seems much smaller that I'm accustomed. A D100 9.5MB RAW file converts to appx 2.7Mb JPEG at 100% and appx 7MB in TIFF. Currently when I convert I get a 17-20MB JPEG. I'm I missing something in the setup or is this the larger file size LE produces.

    Excuse me Lightroom. I currently use Portfolio 8 to review and tagged a large number of images for production. They have a conversion process that allows you to convert a NEF file to JPEG or TIFF. When converting to from a NEF file that is appx 9.5MB in size to a JPEG at 100% @300DPI which is what my clients require, it produces a a JPEG file that ranges from 17-23MB depending the amount of information. But I still have to pull that image into editing SW to do some cleanup or slight exposure adjustments. It was my hopes that by using Lightroom, I could slimline a couple of these processes. But if LR only provides a exported JPEG file size of what I've seen thus far, then I would unable to accomplish this.
    Is this better clarification of my question?

  • How can I convert files in Aperture to jpegs and keep the file large

    I want to upload files into istock photo and they must be as big as possible but in jpg format. I end up exporting tiny little things going from 8mb to 300kb. How can I do it? I even tried going into CS3 but that only allowed me to convert to tif. I would appreciate any help - especially if it is simple!

    Go to File >> Export >> Export Version(s)
    In the resulting dialog box you'll find a drop down called Export Preset with a list of presets. One of them is JPEG Original Size. That should do it for you.
    Also you can choose Edit at the bottom of the preset list and modify an existing preset or create a new custom preset.
    BTW: the reason you couldn't do it in Photoshop is that you need to convert it from 16bit to 8bit before you can save a JPEG. That command in Photoshop is under Image>>Mode.

    Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD.  The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

  • How do I export a file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    I'm exporting an edited scene from an external hard drive to a macbook but the video on the laptop is anamorphic (squished) compared to the original file on the hard drive.  How do I export the file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    Please give the exact specs of your project. If the material is anamorphic, aspect ratio display is a function of the playback device. What is it?

  • HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

    How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
    Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

    The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
    You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
    Event Name will become  Folder Name.
    'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
    Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
    So: File -> Export
    Set your Kind to Jpeg
    Select your preferred Quality
    Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
    Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
    Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

  • I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created?

    I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

    Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager.  Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A  and drag them to library B in iPLM.

  • How do I make and keep a copy of a photo in iPhoto so that I can edit the copy and keep the unedited original?

    How do I make and keep a copy of a photo in iPhoto (version 9.5.1) so that I can edit the copy and keep the unedited original?

    You don't have to. iPhoto does that automatically. Note the command in Photos menu to 'Revert to Original' and the original can be exported at any time using the Export command.
    Longer answer:
    All edits in iPhoto are virtual. The database records your decisions and then applies them to a copy of the original. So your original is untouched. Your edited version is never "fixed" until you export it.

  • Import ID Configuration Scenarios and keep the same Business System names

    Hi Guys,
    Is it possible to transport ID Configuration Scenarios Objects between 2 XI systems and keep the same names for both sender and receiver Business Systems ? That is, to skip the SLD lookup for transport Source and Transport Targets systems ?
    I tried to create the same Business Systems under the same name twice, but this was not possible. Any ideas ?
    The reason is that I want to transport all the objects from one XI DEV server to another XI DEV server.
    Thank you,
    Best Regards,
    Evaggelos Gkatzios

    Hi,
    We have done same but with bit of manual work (without Transport).
    Create SLD object in target system with same name as in Souce XI system SLD.
    IR & ID was exported using TPZ files from Source system & were imported in Target system.
    It used same object names in both XI systems.

  • How to keep the new changes of a raw photo in Photoshop cs6?

    With photoshop cs5 and prior, after editing a raw photo, the system will automatically keep the new changes so that next time when i open the raw file, it will appear with the new changes. however cs6 doesn't seem to have this function anymore. Is it right? how can i do this with cs6?

    What do you do after making the changes?  Either opening the edited RAW file, or clicking on  Done will create the sidecar (XMP) files which contain all of the information about your adjustments.  The next time you open that RAW file, it will look for an XMP file with the same file name, and use the information contained in it.
    If you delete the XMP files, it's back to square one! 
    You deleted them to save space?  A typical XMP file is probably less than 10kb, which is a tiny fraction of the size of the RAW file.  You need to rethink your strategy.

  • Can i move my apps from itouch to iphone 4S and keep the saved stuff ive done so far

    can i move my apps from itouch to iphone 4S and keep the saved stuff ive done so far

    If the developers of the apps have followed Apple's guidelines, the data should be in the backup made in iTunes, so you should be able to just restore the iPhone 4S from the most recent backup of the iPod touch, re-sync your apps, and you should be good to go. If any of the data is critical, though, you may want to confirm with the developer of the app, just in case they have some special procedure.

  • 23.98 to 29.97 fps and keeping the auio sync???

    Hi again FCP community
    We captured at 23.98 fps using 2:3:3:2 pulldown and edited in 24fps sequence....why??? Because without stress, our lives would be boring. No for real, the directors shoot their in 29.97 and 24P, etc...that's why we captured in 23.98fps
    I exported the 24fps as QT mov and in Cinema Tools converted it to 23.98fps to be able to print to miniDV tape
    My questions is there a way to bump the 23.98 to 29.97 or 30 fps and keep the sound in sync??? HELP!
    If you need further explanation, please shoot me an email at [email protected] or [email protected]

  • Merging 2 documents, and keep the layers structure

    Here's my problem :
    my workmates and me are working on seperate files (.ai) for our projects, then, we use to merge our document in one main document to save the final project and to make the exports.
    BUT, i found nothing in illustrator or on the web about how merging and keep the structure. And on our project, we have a loooot of layers, and it's barely impossible to copy/paste each layer at once. (i'm sure a bunch of you had this problem once.)
    On photoshop, it's quite simple, you can export some layers/group in a new document or in a opened.
    So i'd like to know if any of you have a solution (if i'm not understood, i can try to explain better my problem), or if it's a known issue (and if the next version will do it well !!!).
    Thanks a lot for any answer that will help me <3

    First check that the layer structure is identical in both files, both the layer options and the layer stacking order.
    Now check Paste Remembers Layers in the layers palette.
    Then you can copy and paste between files and things will stack into their correct layers.
