Having a problem isolating RAW files from Jpegs into separate folders.
I have understood it to be that all file (photo) organization in Elements should be done in the Organizer. However, I took over 500 shots in RAW + Jpeg, so now I want to place the RAW files in a separate folder so I can make thumbnails from the Jpegs to allow the subjects to select which photos they want copies of. I will then work on those RAW files. However, Organizer lists the files in filename order, so manually selecting the CR2 files would be a pain in the butt. Is there a way in Organizer to sort by size or sort by file extension ... anything other than filename? Can files be directed to individual folders when first downloaded? If I sort the files in Windows Explorer and move them, does that mess up the cataloging in Organizer?

A --- "Find > by Filename" ? That is the default, and already shows in this sequence. Filename creates a sequence of CR2, Jpeg, XMP, CR2, Jpeg, XMP, CR2, Jpeg, XPM, etc. etc.
Clearly, you haven't understood properly. It is not a default. I am referring to a menu option. You go to the Find menu in the PSE organizer, then select "by Filename" and then type in CR2 and press ENTER.
B --- again, not sure if Adobe just didn't understand the question or I am too dense to understand the answer. I am going to reduce the size of the Jpeg files so I can upload them to an online gallery so the clients can view the shots taken. I am obviously not going to upload the RAW files or the XPM (I assume the thumbnail created to allow the RAW file to be displayed in the viewfinder or on screen.) I don't want to reduce the size of the originals (obviously), so I can use the "Process Multiple Files" in Elements to copy the Jpegs and make smaller copies for upload. I DO NOT want to have to hold the CTRL key down while I select 250 individual Jpeg files manually since that is the ONLY option in the sort sequence they appear in currently. If Adobe provided the ability to sort the files in a folder "by size" or "by extension", then I could easily deal with only the Jpegs, but in their infinite wisdom, Adobe neglected to include the ability to handle files by this logical method. So my only option appears to be to create a new folder and put the CR2 (and XPM) files in the new folder until I am ready to post-process the files chosen by my client.
Obviously, you didn't understand. If you want to reduce the size of your JPGs and then upload, you select the JPGs by Find > by Filename, so then yout have all the JPGs found; and then Ctrl-A to select them all, and then create the reduced size photos via File->Export->As New File. (Of course, you can also do this to the RAWs as well, resulting in a reduced size JPG -- and then you don't even need the original JPGs)
The point of my inquiry was to find out if Adobe DID provide a way to dealing with a large number of files in a logical and efficient manner, and the response above doesn't really tell me that they did. My assumption from the above response is that Adobe did NOT provide an efficient method of isolating files by type or size.
The efficient way of doing this has been explained, and does exist in PSE.
Or am I just too dense to understand an easy, quick solution to dealing with ONLY the Jpegs, resizing them for quick and view-only upload to a gallery, and retaining the integrity of the Elements organizer.???????

Dear Forum,
I realise this isn’t necessarily your problem, buy I’m having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs.
Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
AHHi Barbara, thanks for replying to my post.
No there's nothing wrong with the Jpegs, but I want to srart uploading images for sale in Alamy, but they say they must be a minimum of 17mb un compressed. Does that mean that at 6mb compressed from 90mb they'd be acceptable?
thanks,

I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.
I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras. Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder? If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple. -
Problem inporting raw files from my Nikon D3200
i have problems importing raw files from my Nikon D3200, i have tried some of the suggestions such as
removing the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle from the System Library and downloading a newer version (OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support)
The problem is -- the latest RAW Compatibility Update version for Yosemite 6.02 appears to be the one I currently am using (in my System Folder).
In that same article referenced above, my Nikon D800 is listed in an earlier version simply titled "Supported by Yosemite 10.10".
This had some success but is not working after trying it several times, i am currently on version OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and the version of iphoto is 9.6
any help would be greatly received as i only shoot in RawRemove the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle again and update the system to 10.10.2 via the App Store. That contains the bundles that will support that camera: OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support. The 6.01 and 6.02 updates are not needed for that camera. Be sure to repair disk permissions after the update.
As usual be sure you have a backup of your hard drive before applying any such update. -
Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together. I tried arrange or sort by kind but that does not work. It arranges all folders but not the files in the folder., Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together. I tried arrange or sort by kind but that does not work. It arranges all folders but not the files in the folder.
Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

Problems loading RAW files from Canon 6D in Elements 10
Elements 10 - Windows: I have been using the software for a couple of years and never had a problem loading RAW files from my Canon T2i ir 60D, however I just purchased a Canon 6D and when I try to load a RAW from the 6D I get Cannot open 'C:\User...CR2' because it is the wrong type of file. I thought cameraraw 6.5 patch would be the fix but when trying to install I get "Error loading Updater workflow"
Will the DNG files perform the same, meaning will I retain all the information that makes RAW important for processing?
Yes. That's why DNGs were invented. Adobe has put a lot of work into the DNG format for this very reason.
Raw files are proprietary and manufacturer specific. Raw formats change with every make and model of camera. Software must be updated for the new Raw format of every single camera. Adobe does an admirable job of upgrading Camera Raw for every new camera.
DNG is also a Raw format but it's open source and works in any software which can read the DNG format. If camera manufacturers used the DNG format instead of their own Raw format, you would not have to upgrade Elements 10. But they don't, and probably never will, so you must upgrade the Camera Raw plugin (and therefore Elements 10 since it's not compatible with the new Camera Raw) to read the new Raw format from the 6D or add another step to your workflow with conversion to DNG first.

Can't separate raw files from jpegs in my ipad iphoto...
i recently purchased iphoto for my ipad but i cannot separate raw files from jpegs. i can see them all in my imac and save all files properly, but then i would like to erase raw files and keep only jpegs in my ipad but cannot find how to do it! any help? thank you!
yes I am importing pairs raw+jpeg using the camera connection kit. for what I understood reading the entire discussion you suggested, the solution is, after saving the files elsewhere, to delete the photos, but ipad would erase only raw files, leaving the jpeg. but I tried with one photo, and after deleting it, the photo was gone entirely!..
also, I still cannot see both pictures (raw and jpeg) in my ipad iphoto. i can see them in my imac iphoto, but it seems the program runs differently according to the device.. that would make things so much easier for everybody!
a button 'select all' would also be appreciated I am sure! -
I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.
I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.
I have tried to update ACR to the latest version but can not tell if this has been successful
I just get the message "wrong type of file"For the D800 you have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Problems loading raw files from Nikon D750 to lightroom4
problems loading raw files from Nikon D750 to lightroom4. Any thoughts?
This is a recently produced model so raw support was only added in LR 5.7 / ACR 8.7, updates to LR 4 ceased about two years ago when LR 5 was issued.
Options a.) Upgrade to LR 5.
b.) Utilize the latest Adobe DNG Converter 8.8 to convert the nef files to dng format then you will be able to import the dng files into LR 4. -
Problems emptying RAW files from Recycle Bin
Hi
I am not sure, but think my problem is connected with Lightroom 1.4.1
When I delete RAW files from disc via Lightroom, they go into the Recycle Bin. However, I am unable to delete them from the bin without using an unlocker program. This is because when I choose to delete individual RAW files from the bin (or choose completely empty bin)I get a message saying that file Dq(number) cannot be deleted as it may be in use by another program. But no other program is open.
I think this only applies to RAW files (Canon CR2) where I have created an editable file in Photoshop CS3. I am fed up with the tedious task of removing each individual Dq/CR2 file from the Recycle bin (the unlocker program will not let me batch delete) and suspect a workaround involving removing the CR2 files from the Lightroom catalogue and then deleting them from their source folder might work.
However, this semms a clumsy way of having to do thistask.
Has anyone else come across this please and does anyone have an elegant solution? Oh, the files concerned are all on an external hard disc, but I cannot see why this should affect things.Hi, Andrew. I do not have an external HD, so I am not sure if this is related. LR 1.4's seems to do some odd things with files that it sees as Read Only, such as from a CD, DVD, or external drive. Maybe it has something to do with this. Also, can you exit LR, then dumb Recycle Bin normally?

Problems with RAW files from Nikon D4
At the moment I'm using LR 4.1 rc and PS CS 6 beta. I tried to send a D4 raw file from LR to PS, but PS didn't open it.
The next thing I tried was to open D4 raws directly with PS CS 6, no success either.
The raw files from my D200 aren't any problem.
So is there knowledge wether PS CS 6 is supporting Nikon D4 RAWs or not? If it should be supported, what could be my problem?
Thx in advance
DominikSee this link for full details on camera support in Camera Raw versions:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/03/raw-support-in-lightroom-and-camera-raw.ht ml
Snip taken from link above:
You’ll also note that ACR7, available with Photoshop CS6 beta, is lagging the most in updated camera support. This is based on when we lock down or “bake” the code for each release. Even though ACR7 was only released last week it was “baked” before Lightroom 4.0 and Camera Raw 6.7. Similarly, Lightroom 4.0 was finalized before Camera Raw 6.7. We’ll get Lightroom and Camera Raw in sync soon but in the interim, here’s the latest incremental support list for each product, relative to Camera Raw 6.6 and Lightroom 3.6:
Photoshop CS6 beta with ACR7
Canon PowerShot S100V
Fuji FinePix X-S1
NOTE:
ACR7.1 will have the superset of all currently supported cameras in ACR6.7 and LR4.1 plus a few extras. -
Problem importing raw files from camera
Hello I am new to digital photography and am having trouble importing raw files from my panasonic lumix g1 into elements 7. I can import them into the software that came with the camera, but I would rather use photoshop. Can anybody advise me on this?
Many thanks
JPYou need to install ACR 5.4 into your PSE 7. Note: ACR 5.5 the latest ACR is still in beta form and will not yet install in PSE 7.

Problems importing raw files from nikon d610
My lightroom 4.4 will not import raw files from my new nikon d610. I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
Please helphttp://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above link provides the full list of camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom. You will note that support for the Nikon D610 was introduced in Lightroom 5.3.
You have a couple of options
a. Upgrade your version of Lightroom to version 5, the latest update is LR 5.4. This will provide support for your raw NEF files from your camera. (LR 4 will not have any further updates)
b. Download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4 and convert the NEF files to DNG format and you can then import the DNG files into Lightroom 4. (retain copies of your NEF files for use with the Nikon software or other software that may not read DNG files.)
Quote " I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
Please help" If you are referring to the Adobe DNG Converter if is possible that if you used an older version of Nikon Software to transfer the files from your camera to the computer the files may have been rendered unreadable by Adobe Software. -
How to import raw files from canon550D into PSE9 ?
I have just purchased PSE9. I have downloaded
Camera Raw 5.7 and 6.2 update and installed both...but still I cannot see/open my raw files from canon
550D - any suggestions...??If you right click on one of your Canon CR2 files and choose open with PSE9 it should automatically open in camera raw; you then click open image to send into the Editor.
If not working, you may have inadvertently installed 5.7. I would suggest you try again with installing the latest plug-in which is 6.2, and follow the instructions carefully as you must only have one file in the camera raw plug-in folder. The links are for PSE8 but will work with PSE9
