Help suggestions RAW JPG (noise / sharpness)

Hi,
Does anyone have a better suggestion for this picture to convert from RAW to JPG, particularly noise and sharpness.
I have put the standard JPG image (from the camera) + RAW file + XMP file at the following website WETRANSFER.COM
To download these files (12 MB) type: http://wtrns.fr/ZSrKp1UoL7P8Vw
(files available until 10 January 2013)
P1080056.JPG       =small JPG image from camera
P1080056.RAW     =Original RAW file
P1080056.XMP     =settings ACR (Noise + Sharpness + Main tabs used)
P1080056RAWJPG=image after conversion to JPG (adobe PS)
I use PS CS6 + ACR 7.0
example image (JPG from camera):

thanks you for the example YAMMER P.
questions:
Did you use the alt key for the BLACKS and WHITES in the main panel to see the limits for over- and underexposure?
How do you determine the amount CALRITY in the main panel.
How do you determine the amount DETAIL an MASKING in sharpness panel
How do you determine the amount LUMINANCE DETAIL in NOISE panel
Do you have any order for processing an image
For me...I think I know not enough of sliders like: CLARITY, DETAIL, MASKING, LUMINANCE DETAIL, LUMINANCE CONTRAST ...... especially when these are used together
maybe there are more suggestions?

RAW + JPG

I just started shooting RAW and imported 152 RAW + JPG today. Only the RAW are showing in Aperture. Any way to make both show up??? I drilled down in the library and the JPGs are there ...
thanks in advance for any help ...

From my website www.aperturetricks.com.
"Ben Long sent me a great script to work with RAW+JPEG imports and I posted that last week. But then several of you sent me emails suggesting additional support for RAW existed and I added that information to my own research and want to share that with you now.
Like others, I wish the RAW+JPEG workflow were better, but there’s more support than I think most people realize:
1. Aperture actually DOES import RAW+JPEG. It sees both files and brings them both into the Library. By default it only displays the RAW image. To see the JPEG too, just select any image and press Option-J, (That’s the keyboard shortcut for New Version from Master JPEG.) Now-the RAW AND the JPEG appear together in a stack. If you make the JPEG the “pick” of the stack, then you can collapse the stack and see only the JPEG.
2. Once you have both the RAW and the JPEG, you will want to be able to tell which is which. Aperture CAN (despite complaints from some reviewers who just don’t know how to properly use the software) display full filenames and file extensions You need to set up the metadata display options correctly.
- Create a new Metadata set using the Action menu on the metadata inspector.
- Click the “Other” button at the bottom of the inspector and turn on File Name as the only field to be displayed for this new set.
- Open View > View Options and set either Set number 1 or Set number 2 in either the Viewer or Browser to display your new metdata set, consisting of File Name.
Now you can toggle full filenames (With extensions) on or off the images in the Viewer or on thumbnails in the browser.
You could also just modify any existing metadta set to accomplish this by replacing the “Version Name” field with the “File Name” field."
Good luck,

How do I transfer RAW+jpg to cloud storage under iOS 8?

I want to transfer Canon RAW+jpg CR2 files, imported from the camera via the camera connection kit, from my iPad to cloud storage in Dropbox. Prior to iOS 8, I could accomplish this by exporting from the photography workflow app PhotosInfoPro. That functionality is now broken. The app performs correctly when handling pure jpg files, or handling pure RAW files, but fails when handling RAW+jpg. The operation completes without any error messages, but only the jpg data from the RAW+jpg has been uploaded to the cloud. The RAW sensor data isn't there.
Is there an alternate method to transfer these files from the iPad to cloud storage - either Dropbox or Google Drive? I have tried many different things, none of which were successful. I can get the jpg portion into the cloud, but not the RAW portion. If you know of a method or an app that is performing this successfully under iOS 8, please help. I am at my wits end.

How can I transfer the photos to the Cloud to free up some space?
iCloud does not store photos long term. You can share your photos to your Photo Stream to transfer them, but you need to download them on another device, before you delete them from your iPhone.
Back them up on a computer, before you delete them from your iPhone.
For example, by:
Import photos directly into iPhoto or Aperture on your computer.
Save photos to your computer using iTunes.

PSE wish list - Auto stacking RAW + JPGs

I'm using PSE V10 and have a 'wish list' item for suggested improvements to the program.
A feature that would be extremely valuable to many users would be the ability to auto stack photos where there are the RAW + JPG images present in the Catalog. The JPG would end up on top of the stack.
This can be done manually but is tedious when there are many photos to deal with. Failing an automatic feature a single action shortcut to access the 'Stack | Stack selected photos' command would be useful.
a forum discussion on this topic is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4585792#4585792

As reported above I THOUGHT I'd found a shortcut suitable for stacking a JPG over a RAW.
However, the stack command in the main menu, which has the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+S will stack the RAW over the JPG whenever the RAW thumbnail is ahead of the JPG in the Catalog. I want the reverse to happen.
I found I can get the JPG to stack over a RAW, if the RAW appears before the JPG, by selecting the RAW first then with the Ctrl button down select the JPG. Then using 'Stack | Stack selected photos' in the mouse right click menu. However, this fails when using Ctrl+Alt+S whenever the RAW is listed before the JPG. Am I missing something?

Need help with RAW conversion in 1.5

Previous tests on RAW conversion have confirmed that Aperture and CI pretty much all in camera settings except white balance. In my previous tests with everything set to pretty much "normal" in camera Aperture's RAW conversion was close but not exact to the camera produced JPG's of the same exact image (camera set to RAW+JPG). I have no way to test but now the same exact images are no where near the same color balance or temperature.
Does anyone else have this issue with 1.5? What is going on?
I can post some examples if it would help.

What are you using as a comparison for the jpegs?
Comparing a RAW photograph to a jpeg duplicate would
not look the same under close examination.
Let's see the examples.

Let me rephrase and provide an example,
I have the camera set to produce a RAW file and a JPG of the same shot. In Aperture 1.1 the way both file looked side by side in Aperture was close but not identical, the way both files looked exported to JPG were close. After switching to Aperture 1.5 the same exact files look completely different.
Here is an example exported from Aperture 1.5

How to separate RAW+JPG after import?

Greetings:
Is there a way to separate jpg files from a collection of RAW+JPG images after import? They were imported without checking the "treat raw + jpg files separately" box in preferences. Having worked with them, I would like to simply separate out the jpg sidecar files and quickly post the jpgs.
Is there a way to do this? I've tried changing preferences and re-importing from the combined image folder to another folder, but the resulting jpgs don't show up as files in Finder.
Platform: Mac
Software: Lightroom 4.4
Thanks,
Mike

I'm looking for a solid solution within Lightroom too.
Until that time, maybe http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/RawPlusJpegLrPlugin/ can help you?

Duplicate (sidecar) RAW & JPG files in Organiser

Hello,
I usually store both RAW and a small JPG file for each photo I take using a Canon EOS 7D. When these are imported into Lightroom 4.4, Lightroom only shows one image, reporting that the associated JPG is a 'sidecar' image. When imported into Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser both photos are displayed i.e. every single photo is duplicated.
How do I configure Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser to only show one photo for each RAW/JPG set?
Thanks in advance,
David.

Lightroom and the Organizer have something in common : they do not contain picture files. They only store the information about where the files are physically stored. They are a list of those paths (locations). Raws and jpegs of the same shot are two different picture files. So, you can't speak about duplication from that point of view.
What Lightroom and the Organizer don't have in common is the way they deal with the 'duos' of raw and jpeg files. At the import stage, the Organizer always considers the files as distinct and imports both of them as described by 99jon. LR recognizes the fact that both files are two variants from a single shot and offers a choice of how to import : ignore the jpeg or consider ist as a kind of 'sidecar' file.
How to use the organizer so that it shows only one thumbnail once they have been imported ? That's possible if you use the visual similarity search : you can choose to automatically suggest photo stacks just after the import stage. Your files will be stacked and you'll see only one photo in the browsing space. You can collapse stacks or expand them in the browsing space. After stacking, any organizing task such as rating, keywording will be applied to both files much like in real version sets.
I don't think that you really need to shoot raw + jpeg most of the time.
It may be useful when you are getting acquainted with raw processing.
It may be to have an instant way to display the pictures on your card when you have no computer at hand. In that case, deleting the jpegs from catalog just after the import into the catalog is the quickest and simplest solution.
For viewing the raw pictures on your computer without Elements, it may be useful to have another free software able to show the thumbnails of raw files (faststone, xnview...)
Also, if shooting raw only, it's easy to export a (temporary) ad hoc jpeg version of your import batch from the Organizer to share with friends. It's best done after culling and rating and doing some quick keywording.

RAW + JPG shooting and Lightroom

I would like to know if there are any advantages shooting RAW + JPG on my Nikon D200 then importing into Lightroom? Does Lightroom really work (or is ideal) for processing JPGs?
I am considering shooting RAW + JPG especially of my children due to the amount of photos I take of them and the time it actually takes to process a RAW image. I figure RAW + JPG will give me the choice of having a finished JPG and a RAW image for archival purposes or even additional editing (if necessary). Obviously, Lightroom will know the difference between the two by the extension, but if I want to process JPGs in Lightroom, is there a better alternative for JPG processing...maybe Lightroom, maybe something else?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Rolandy,
Sounds to me like you're suffering the same dilemna as I. I like my Nikon (D80) and want to fire away w/jpgs. Then I try some simple tests and find that there are images that get botched by the in-camera jpg conversion. Here's an example:
http://home.comcast.net/~kmsjss/test/index.html
I shot this pair in NEF+jpg mode (small jpg), with Sun WB, Normal other settings, sRGB IIIa. I ran the NEF into LR and used my presets plus a medium contrast curve and increased exposure (this all took about 3 mouse clicks). That red butler has grey painted details of the lapels, etc. As you can see, they're blown out in the jpg, and not recoverable (I had even more latitude w/the NEF). Also, the color of the butler is Ferrari red (shifted slightly toward yellow). I shot this as a test (forgive my shadow) as the scene has wide brightness range, and red, green, and blue. I've found that Nikon's IIIa color space is vivid, and inaccurate, especially for reds. The Ia space is more accurate, but not vivid. (confirmed by numerous pix, not just this pair).
So, I shoot NEF, use LR w/defined presets, and don't lose sleep over that rare great shot ;) that gets messed up by Nikon jpg conversion. LR is fast w/presets. Import the shoot, select one, Develop it, in Library select all the others, Command-Option-V, and you're in the ballpark w/the other shots. I prefer the colors I'm getting over Nikon's IIIa conversion, and I'm still tweaking the settings...
I'm also a hobbyist, so caveat emptor. I trust you're monitor is calibrated.

RAW+JPG renaming/deleting workflow broken?

I tried to shoot RAW + JPG.
LR show only the NEF files [RAW] and uses the JPGs as a "sidecar".
if I rename teh NEF the JPG gets renamed with the same filename and the proper different extension.
the problem is when I delete the rejected NEF files - the corresponding/relative JPGs don't get deleted as well
and I need to do it manually in the finder outside of LR,
am i doing something wrong? I find this behavior inconsistent and it could be annoying if I need to do that with many files at once.
I can always download the images from teh camera to TEMP download folder - move the good photos to a different folder and empty the JPGs that have not deleted.
a bit of a cumbersome workflow...

Amazing, so it's actually intentionally 'broken'. At the very very least, mentioning this in the manual would have been nice...(or did I miss it?) I can see where they're coming from as seen from a *particular* workflow perspective, but they are making some pretty big assumptions along the way, all of which can be challenged.
Assumption (1): RAW and JPG files with the same name are *always* both created in the camera.
- I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I have sometimes saved rendered JPGs (from RawShooter) alongside my RAW files. The upcoming(?) RawShooter settings conversion utility will not give the exact same results, so I'd like to keep the JPGs in my library.
Assumption (2): The JPG is always inferior to the Lightroom-rendered RAW.
- Not true. Sometimes the camera vendors employ some sophisticated wizardry to their JPGs that can sometimes yield satisfying final results or a good reference for raw editing. I suspect this holds even more for the newer batch of SLRs that supports 'in-camera developing', applying proprietary coloring effects, etc to the rendered JPG.
Assumption (3): People get horribly confused when they see *choose* to shoot RAW+JPG and actually see two files.
- Well, I'm probably not the target market, since I'm one of those 'organized' photographers, but ok. If I have chosen to create two files that every other imaging program considers to be different, I have consciously done so, and I do not get confused if I see different files. In fact, I *expect* all my files to show up in Lightroom. Of course having neat options to hide either type of files is a plus.
As for suggestions to improve this in future versions, I'd say:
* Make it an option (selected by default) to not import sidecar JPGs and use them only for preview. [mentioned in Podcast]
* Implement auto-stacking for files with the same name. [mentioned in Podcast]
* Even better, allow for auto-stacking with similar names (using a suffix, like '-') and images that were shot at the same time. See also http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc34b40/1
* Implement a command to sort the images in all stacks in the current view. This could be used to place all RAWs or JPGs on top.
* Implement a synchronization feature that synchronizes (selected) keywords and collections across stacks. [deals with mentioned keyword problem]
* As an alternative to all stack-based options above, simply implement a viewing filter to only show files of a certain type within the currently selected category. This way, people can easily remove all JPGs from view.
Cheers,
Simon

Help / suggestions with multiple apple id's

I would like to give a scenario and hopefully get some advice / help / suggestions on how best to approach this:
We are an Academy in the UK with over 700 students on roll ranging from 14 to 18 years old. Each student has an iPad mini. Not all students have their own Apple ID. The Academy is very diverse and we have many students coming and going throughout the year as well as new intake of students each year. iPads can change hands a number of times.
Bearing in mind that one can only activate an ID only 3 times per device, and that an Apple ID can only have 10 devices associated with it, what is the recommendation in terms of getting students up and running with a device and Apple ID?
Here's my reason for asking: We have a number of iPad Minis which can no longer be used because the limit of 3 ID's have been used on those devices. As mentioned, a lot of our students do not already have an Apple ID and so will create one when they are given their iPad. This only has to happen three times and we effectively have a very expensive coffee coaster!
Open to any help and advice. Many thanks in advance!

more to it than that
pitty you can't use it
I assume these are institution owned devices and not user owned
I've never heard of this 3 strikes and your out scenario, if that was the case you wouldn't be able to sell ios devices second hand, unless I'm miss understanding what your describing
Sounds like the devices have not released properly from iCloud, find my phone
and iOS 7 activation lock is on
if you don't know that iTunes account and password you can't do anything with the device
you'll have to prove to apple you own it or track down the iTunes account owner it's locked with

Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.
On opening the app "Find my iPhone" I add my password and sign in, to be greeted with a screen that says;
"Update Find My iPhone. A new version of Find My iPhone is available from the App. Store. You must install the update to continue using the app. Update now"
On hitting the "Update now" button I'm taken to the relevant page on the App Store, to be told that I cannot update as it needs IOS8 to be able to continue and as my iPhone is only a 4 cannot install IOS8.
I'm left going around in circles. The only thing would be to delete the app, but looks like I could not re-install the version I would need. Any body have any thoughts or suggestions? (Apart from updating my phone, I have a few months left on the contract!)
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

Raw + JPG not working!

I usually take photos in two formats: Raw + JPG, however when I try to download to Aperture, only Raw files are downloaded, is this normal? where should be adjusted to extract both formats into Aperture?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

This depends on if you're using Aperture 2 or Aperture 3. In 2, there are some preference settings about imports, but I don't recall the details. In 3, there's a brick of import options called Raw+JPEG. There, you can select 5 options. One of those options will import only the raw files. The one that imports both, but sets the raw as master will look similar, in Aperture, except you'll have the option to switch to the JPEG master for that image, temporarily or otherwise, if you later wish. There's a pair of options that work the same way as those two, but favour JPEGs over raws. And there's an option to import both, setting both as masters - with that, you'll see a version based on each master for every shot you've taken, doubling the apparent number of photos.

Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?

Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
Thanks

I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

Raw imports fail if shooting in RAW+JPG

I've got a canon Xsi and set it to record RAW+JPG for some testing. I installed 10.5.4 which claimed to support RAW for the camera. But I could never get any of the images to import.
I've now figured out what is going on. I was using the USB cable to plug into the camera which uses the Image Capture framework to copy the images to the computer. There is a bug in the image capture framework that it always uses the size of the JPG file when it copies the file over, even when copying the RAW file. This has the effect of truncating the RAW file, causing the RAW conversion to fail.
To work around this problem, use a card reader that causes the card to mount as a disk drive. You'll then get the whole RAW file and the image will import properly.
I've filed a bug.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Also if you just shoot RAW I believe iPhoto will import correctly from the camera. Since iPhoto creates a jpg file for each raw that is imported you will still have both types of files in iPhoto. Since I don't shoot raw I don't know if there's any difference between the jpg created by the camera and the one created by iPhoto when importing RAW only. If you get a chance to test it out and report that would be of interest to others. Thanks for the feedback.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
