FCE 1.0.1 Can't Import "Original" JPEGs - FCE 3.0 Can !

Not a serious problem - just a puzzling quirk.
When I try to import JPEGs which have been produced by my digital camera, FCE 1.0.1 shows them greyed out and impossible to select.
However, if I make a copy (or in any way manipulate the JPEG) in Photoshop and save it, it shows up nice and black and can be imported.
FCE 3.0 works perfectly with either an original camera image or a copy.
Can anyone explain why FCE 1.0.1 behaves in this strange way?
What is the difference between the original and a copy? They are both JPEGs after all.
Ian.

Thanks Al.
I think this my be one of those mysteries like the Meaning of Life!
There seems to be no logical reason. The JPEGs from my camera are perfectly bog-standard and are recognised by everything including FCE 3.0 but 1.0.1 doesn't.
I tried to save the JPEG in Photoshop and it was still grey.
However if I use the "Save As" command the newly saved version can be imported into 1.0.1 with no problem. Somehow the "Save As" command must be imparting some subtle change in the format that 1.0.1 can detect.
This has no practical impact on my life because normally I will never use 1.0.1 for that - it's just that I don't like mysteries.

How can I import only jpeg and not jpeg plus RAW into Photos on iPad?

I capture both on my camera. I do post-shoot processing on computer (Lightroom/Photoshop) but want to see larger previews on iPad (the "new" version with retina display) than my camera LCD allows. I am using the Apple hadware adaptor to load from an SD card. The RAW files are taking up way too much memory on the iPad--it seems Photos imports both files at once. I can't figure our how to tell it to import only the smaller JPEG files.
If there is a better App than Photos for this, please advise. Note I will not be doing any serious editing on the iPad.
Thanks,
Doug

It doesn't matter what App you use it will copy all the photos from the SD card.
But I have a workaround;
All you do is import your JPEG+RAW images using the camera connection kit.
Go to Albums in the Photo App, choose Change, Choose New Album, give name, choose Last import, choose Select all photos, choose Finish.
Now go back into the photos app and delete all the photos from your "Last import" Album. It will say that it is going to delete them everywhere but really it doesnt because it leaves the JPEG in the new album. The result is that you will only have your JPEGs that you imported in your camera roll and the RAW images get deleted.
First try out before you delete photos from SD card!

Can I put the original JPEGs on DVD with slideshow

I have built a slideshow but I'd like to have the original JPEGs available on the DVD also. Can I do this within Encore ?
I have a memory of reading it's possible but I can't find the reference and am wondering if I'm maybe mixing up with Premier.
Thanks

On the
Disc tab is an option to add "DVD-ROM Content". You can use this to add any kind of files (like the original JPEGs) to the DVD.

When importing original cps in mac,cd cover won't come up

When importing original cd's,image won't come up.

ivasordeoro, are you connected to the internet. You need to be connected for iTunes to be able to pull down the album covers...
Assuming you are connected & artwork is not coming down, try right click on the song, the option to download album artwork should be there.... try that.....

LR 3.2 - Can't publish original jpeg to smugmug?

Hi,
I have some jpegs that I want to publish to smugmug using the new Publish Service in LR 3.2. The jpegs are already compressed to medium size, so I'd like to avoid having LR open them and re-compress them.
However, when I select 'Original' in the publish settings for smugmug, LR uploads a highly compressed version of my images (file size on disk is 4.45 MB, on smugmug only 980 KB)!
Is this a bug, or how can I get LR to upload the original file?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
I’m not seeing any compression. Make sure your SmugMug set-up dialog has the same pixel dimensions as the original jpeg with quality set to 100%

Can't import a jpeg file to iPhoto

Hello,
I'm having trouble importing a jpeg file from another user to my iPhoto. We are both admins, file sharing is on for both users, read and write is on for both users. (I toggled file sharing on/off to see if it would update, and no changes).
In the file sharing, the shared folders are documents, pictures, and downloads folders. The jpeg file is filed on the desktop and in the pictures folder. When I do a File/Import to Library, and search for the jpeg file, it comes up greyed out.
My last option is that I emailed the jpeg from the other user's iPhoto to myself. I was going to go into my email and see if I could save the jpeg and try to import it that way?
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have you tried just dragging the file into the open iPhoto Library window? What version of iPhoto are you using?
What color mode (RGB, grayscale, CMYK, etc.) is it and what color profile is embedded (sRGB, Adobe RGB, Dot Gain 20%-grayscale, CMYK)?

Importing older .jpegs, not getting renamed and not able to find in catalog

First, I love lightroom. I've been knee deep for 2 weeks and am over 33,000 photos as of this writing.
I am noticing the following when I attempt to import older .jpegs:
At import, I specify to convert to DNG, I know this doesn't work for .jpegs, to add to catalog, to put into files by shooting date, to rename to my custom naming scheme, to backup when importing, etc. I press import.
So when the import begins, all the thumbs have the error in the top right corner, "the photo xyz could not be used because the original file could not be found".
A folder for the date is created in the catalog but has 0 files in it.
So when I click in the prompt to locate the file, it takes me to the folder, and I notice that the file is there however it has not been renamed. It retains its original name from pre import.
The only files I've noted this happening were shot in 2000-2001 with a Sony DSC-S70 camera. I went to look at the original files in mac viewer and they appear to be fine, smaller than today's files, around 512k, 1280x960.
Again, I love Lightroom, so much so, that I've spent the last 3 days, working 12-14 hours a day getting my digital life in order.
This is the only kink I've experienced so far in LR.
So to summarize, during import, the folder is created, the old file namess are copied into it, but in the catalog the new file name is referenced, so when you look in the newly created folder, there are files there, but not with the new names, with the old names, and the file sizes are very small, like 32k, which tells me they aren't the files, but thumbnails of some sort?
I've tried different ways of importing, not renaming files, using original file structure, etc, but nothing has worked.
My theories... Are .jpegs before a certain date not supported? Are these files somehow corrupt? Are they locked?
Thank you very much for your help, when this first started happening, I just deleted the folders that had 0 images in them. Then when I started noticing a pattern, I made notes of the folders I deleted so I can go back in and fill the gaps in, and since then, I've begun tagging all the files that are having this problem since I figured out what was going on so I can hopefully go back in and remedy.
I am using an imac with 4 gig of RAM and LR 2.
Sincerely,

ok, deleted all the problem images from the catalog and it is much more stable. I tried crashing it, and it held firm. This is very encouraging.
Took a look at the suspect files and folders.
Did what you said, copied into the folder, and then imported without doing anything, they came in fine.
Tried importing and renaming, for some reason still not working.
Living and learning, when importing thousands of images in hundreds of folders, I should have added the step of looking into each folder before importing. I didn't do this. I only looked at the previews in Lr import. When I went back in and looked in the folders, there are several junk files, thumb creation files from other browser programs, html files, other various files, etc. Lr skipped the majority of these junk files, but a few came in and actually caused Lr to crash immediately when the came into view on my monitor.
Were I starting from scratch, I would open each folder, organize it by type and size and then go through with the lightroom import portion.
The way I did it, I imported a lot of low res cropped that I used for web and email, and now they are in my Lr catalog and look like duplicates.
Now that the former prob images are in the Lr dbase, should I try and rename?

Tips for importing large JPEGs into PE

The short version of my question is that I am looking for the most efficient way to import a large number of very large JPEG still photos (with various pixel dimensions) into a Premiere Elements project with the best resulting image quality possible. I have been frustrated so far with the resulting image quality.
Here’s some more detail. I am brand new to PE. I’m using PE 11 on Windows Vista. I had been putting up with Windows Movie Maker for many years, but finally threw in the towel due to its ungraceful handling of AVCHD video. I want to combine still photos with my home movie video in my projects and create DVDs for playback on an NTSC widescreen HDTV.
My JPEG still photos come from several different cameras, and I do a lot of cropping. So the pixel dimensions vary quite a bit. The uncropped pixel size from my DSLR is 4000x6000, so they are too big to import into PE. I read that a good approach was to create a slide show in Organizer and import this into PE. I used Organizer to create a WMV video slideshow with the highest quality settings. The WMV video doesn’t look too bad when I play it back on my PC. But I notice a significant degradation in image quality when I preview the WMV file in PE (compared to playing the file on my PC). The resulting quality of a published DVD is even worse (played on either TV/DVD or PC). PE selected HD 1080i, 1920x1080 for my project.
I know PE is not designed for still photo slideshows. I’m not expecting the same quality as the original JPEGs, but I think I can do better than what I am seeing so far. Any suggestions, tips, or links to reference articles would be greatly appreciated. I’ve also read about resizing the stills in Photoshop (I have Elements 11) and then importing into PE. I haven’t tried this yet, but this sounds like a lot of work (even with batch processing) due to all the different pixel dimensions I have with my photos.

A few weeks ago this same subect was being discussed. Taking Bill Hunt's and other's advice, I spent the larger part of a day trying it out. As near as I can tell, I followed Bill's advice carefully. I put together a demo video and posted it on Vimeo where viewers can download the original PrE11 output for examination. As I recall it was a long thread and by the time I posted the video interest was dying.
Here it is again: https://vimeo.com/60952115
It is only my personal experience, but resizing provided no advantage or disadvantage.
As another test I made a short video of about a half dozen random RAW photos and posted to Vimeo. I used no resizing and, to my eye, results are fine. Watch or download here: https://vimeo.com/60904593
Maybe the Adobe engineers have quietly put something into Premier Elements to resize, or somehow process, photos. I do know that when it was time to upgrade to ACR 7.2, and later 7.3, for Photoshop Elements, the automatic Adobe downloader/installer reported it updated ACR in Premier Elements. ACR does not process videos. It is for photos and is in PrE11.

To keep a back up of original Jpeg files from camera or not?

Somewhat new to Mac coming from PC world. I also have a PC lap top that I have some of my pictures on. I have all of my actual jpeg files from my old PC on the Mac and then have imported copies of them into iphoto.
I have searched these discussions and can't find my question answered so hope I can explain and get an answer.
I think I understand how iphoto works and about the library. I am enjoying using it, but with problems others have from time to time I would think most people would still want a backup of their actual jpeg files stored on DVDs or external hard disk is storage space is not a problem. I can see if you only use a Mac and keep a backup of your iphoto library you would be fine, but if you changed back to a PC this library backup would not work and you would still want a copy of all your original jpeg files to start over on a PC.
Do any of you keep a backup of your original files backed up?

I definitely know not to make any changes in the iphoto library itself.
Good that goes a LONG way toward avoiding problesm
If I understand you correctly is there a way from within iPhoto to isolate all of your orginal files, if that is what you want, to transfer just them to an external in order to then load on a different PC computer i.e. my laptop?
iPhoto does that - all originals are in a folder in the iPhoto library named "originals" - you can copy it for use somewhere else (I do not recommend it but you can and if you make no mistakes it is safe - i make lots of mistakes so sty out of my iPhoto library) or select the Photos you want elsewhere and export with kind = original
I have a 2TB WD external drive I am using with Time Machine, so my iPhoto library is backed up there. Would you also suggest, to be perfectly safe, backing up the iPhoto library to a 2nd external.
I personally do that - it is certainly a personal choice and and be overkill - but I do it
As I add new pictures to iPhoto and backup to this 2nd external would the library file just overwrite the previous backup?
again your choice - I keep about 4 versions plus the current one on my internal drive which get daily cloned to my EHD - essentially overwriting the old so my EHD is never more thatn a day behind my main system (except when I do an major upgrade and turn the EHD off for two to three weeks to be sure the upgrade went ok)
I don't want to sound paranoid, but I just cringe when reading posts of people losing all of there pictures.
Its hard not to be paranoid when everyone is out to get you - and hard to be too paranoid when it comes to backups - bad stuff will happen
But as to reading about people losing all of their photos - that does not happen - in all of the posts I've read here I have not seen a single case of iPhoto or the Mac losing a single photo - iPhoto has lost track of them (mostly due to user mistakes - sometimes computer glitches) and people have had to start over with their originals losing their keywords, edits, etc but no photos actually lost
So the short answer - I like having both a clone and a TM backup plus the other ones I make - it may be too much for you or you may do more - TD adds a web based backup to his scheme for example

How do I script a listbox to display doc pdf file attachments (originally jpegs) in a one page document being viewed in a Reader or Acrobat?

I have placed a listbox on a one page pdf doc to select and display any of several pdf attachments (originally jpegs). What javascripting will do this? I have tried openDataObject and getDataObjectContents (feeding them the listbox "export value" which is the name of the attached file. Code runs without exception, but no attachment displays?

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

After syncing a JPEG photo from ITUNES to IPAD, how large is the file on IPAD? does the answer depend on the size of the original JPEG file in ITUNES?

1) Does downsizing the original jpeg photos to be synced with IPAD help reduce the total storage required on IPAD for the photos? What is the relationship between original JPEG file size in ITUNES vs final synced photo file size on IPAD?

Thank you for your response.
The sync process compresses the JPEG files -- the question is how much, so that I can determine a) how many photos 32 gigs will store in sync, and b) can I reduce the memory required by taking smaller jpeg files with my camera

Develop settings when importing RAW + jpeg

When importing NEF files from my D700 I apply the landscape sharpening pre-set and am happy with the results. However on my Fuji X20 I import RAW+jpeg rather than just RAW, in this situation if I use the landscape sharpening pre-set sharpening is applied to the jpeg as well as the RAW resulting in the already sharpened in camera jpeg being grossly over sharpened. If on the other hand I use none for the develop pr-set no sharpening or noise reduction is applied to the jpeg and a minimum amount applied to the RAW file, more or less what I want except I want the higher landscape sharpening applied to the RAW files. Is there anyway to modify the built in pre-sets so that they only get applied to the RAW files when importing RAW+jpeg pairs?
Dave Rosser

I believe the answer is No, you cannot apply a preset at Import time based on file type.
What you can do is after you import, filter on File Type and set it to JPG and apply another preset that changes the sharpening settings of the filtered set of files, then go back and turn off the filter and work with both sets of images as you want.
To filter by File Type, you need to go to Library Grid, enable the filter bar with the backslash \ key if necessary, then select Metadata, and either change one of the existing filter columns to say File Type or add a new File Type column.
Once you have created and applied the filter, you can save it as a filter preset that can be applied by the filter preset selector at the very right and just above the thumbnail strip at the bottom, even in Develop mode.
You might make one for raw and for jpg in case you want to swap between the two, and if you shoot JPGs with more than one camera model, you can add the camera model to the filter criteria.

How to import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

how do i import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

chuckx
Just for background information, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
The generalized answer is Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photo to the Expert view Timeline.
But all that can generate a mountain of questions about the photo and the project into which it will be going
a. what are the pixel dimensions of the photo - will or will I not have to resize or crop/resize the photo for the project
b. is the photo going into a project that will consist of photos and videos
c. if video inclusion, that leads to questions about the properties of the video so that you can set the project preset to match those
d. that leads to questions on the best size to have your photo before you import them into this project.
So, one simple question generates a lot of side questions.
Please let us know how we might help to sort out the details for your Premiere Elements workflow and its source media.
Thank you.

LR 4 Not Importing RAW+JPEG

Here's a strange one.
Currently running Mac OS X 10.7.3, LR 3.6 installed as well as the 30-day demo of the release version of LR 4.0. Importing from a camera-formatted Sandisk 8GB Extreme Pro (45MB/sec)
Camera - Sony A77.
Problem - Importing RAW+JPEG using LR4 only imports the RAW, not the JPEG. I've already checked "Treat JPEGs as separate..." option in LR 4, yet when I pull up the import dialog about half the time I simply don't see the JPEGs next to my ARW files...only the ARW. All import sorting options are off.
I can then simultaneously open LR 3 and upon attempted import, I'm presented with all files just fine.
Back to LR4 again, still only the ARW, even after "quitting" the app and reopening.
It gets stranger, though - As I was typing this, I went ahead and tried to import again in LR4 and THIS time JPEGs are showing up along side RAW. I even double-checked to make sure I was using LR4's window and now LR 3.
Anyone else having this issue??

Bumping this thread because I'm also having the problem. LR4 on Lion 10.7.3, never used the LR4b release. Only the first 10-20 images come in as NEF+JPG and after that I get only JPGs. Just imported six 8GB cards without realizing the problem, since it never used to be one...
My workaround has been to manually transfer files off the card into the destination, and then 'Synchronize Folder..." in LR. The import dialoge that pops up has no problem showing all the files correctly, and they import without problems. This leads me to believe the bug has something to do with importing directly from the card or camera.
I understand any major new release is bound to have some bugs, but this, in conjunction with LR4 crashing any time I try to print, is making the newest release pretty useless for me. The Library and Print modules account for 85% of my time in LR, with the Develop module accounting for the rest (Maps/Books/Slideshows/Web are never opened, ever). In the most abstract sense, LR is made for streamlining the input and output of images, and neither of those processes are working for me.

After importing my JPEGs, the matching RAW-Files aren't found! Why?

I shot JPEG+RAW-Couples with my Canon EOS 450D (aka Rebel XSi) and imported the JPEGs into Aperture 3.1.3. When I wanted to import the matching RAW-Files later, Aperture didn't recognize one of them. I didn't change anything at the files. Importing both as a couple works without any problems.
What's the mistake? Can I fix it or is it a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Users have reported problems with Aperture when Projects hold too many Images. How many is "too many"? No one knows -- I keep all projects under 1,000 Images, and even then very rarely go over 500.
Projects should be subsets of your Library.
Aperture was designed around the general topology of "one Project per shoot". From the User Manual:
"Projects: The basic containers used in Aperture to organize images by shoot."
I have found that sticking to this topology seems to keep gremlins at bay.
