Help with Editing Raw in Lightroom 3.6

Hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and also to using lightroom. I just need some help with editing my RAW files. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and I just imported the files to lightroom. It didn't show me the jpeg files for importing so I only imported the RAW files, which I needed. After editing, I realised it said CR2+JPEG. Which means that both files were imported but combied into a single one. Now I basically want to edit my RAW files only. Does that mean I have edited a jpeg or a mixture of both files? How to edit only the RAW file?
If my picture says CR2+JPEG, does that mean it isnt a pure RAW file and the editing would affect the image quality?
I will really appreciate some help!

It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

  • Need help with cannon RAW photos

    Please help- let my employee go and nearly 100 photos of my products were left on my hard drive, but I can not get them to open.  They are somehow jacked up (show a different icon than they did).  They have no previous version, and absolutely NOTHING I have tried to open them will work.  Would someone be willing to test one to see if they can figgure it out?  Or, has anyone fixed this problem before?

    You are a genius! Now that I understand that those are support
    files, and know what I am looking (at) and for- I found all the photos.
    She left us in quite a mess- both with the photos and our web page so
    thank you again for helping. Feel free to let me know if you need

  • Help with editing a template flash file..

    FIRST OFF..please don't shoot the noobee..I know some folks
    don't like the templates and I appreciate that.
    I have done some reading but not a whole lot about Flash. I
    certainly don't want to BUILD a flash (not yet), but want to edit
    one that is included in a template. I only want to edit the header
    that drops down. It says The Web STudio. I, for example, want it to
    say Marks Studio.
    Ok..the temp comes with Flash/non flash.
    I open w/flash and have a 3 folders: flash, psd and html.
    -flash folder has Images, fla doc and one flash html file
    -PSD folder has 3 psd files
    -html folder has flash folder, images folder, css file and
    one single index.html file.
    I opened the flash folder and found the image.jpg I wanted to
    change to Marks studio.
    I opend the PSD and found the slice that is the same as that,
    then edited it like I want it in PSD, then saved to replace the old
    image. top1. jpg
    Still, it is the same ole one that came with the temp.
    as I said, please don't shoot the noobe. I just wanna edit
    the flash file.
    Thanks for any help.
    Mark

    You'd need Flash to edit the FLA file.

  • Help with editing a cell in a JTable. DESPERATE

    Hi! Is there someone out there that could help with some source code for editing a cell in my JTable when I run it as an applet??
    It works fine when I run it as an application.
    I manage to select the row and write a number in it, but I can't get out of the cell (it seems that the program stops??). I want to enter an integer in a cell and when I click enter or with the mouse in an other cell the value that I enter should update some other cell( multiply the entered value with some fixed number and update a cell in a second coloumn)
    I am really desperate now..... I have thought about using a MouseListener....
    I am using a tablemodel that is from AbstractTableModel.

    Are you using some cell editors?
    While converting inside them, you might be getting some exceptions (like parseexception)which is stopping you from proceeding further.
    Are you using your own tablemodel with custom datatypes?
    Hope this helps,

  • Help with Editable Regions

    We are in the process of creating a template for our site. We
    are working on the editable regions. What we are finding is if we
    want to add a bulleted list of items (let's say links) we can't do
    it without the list header also becoming bulleted. For instance
    let's say we have the following:
    Medical Resource Links
    Cardiology
    GI
    Respiratory
    We would want Medical Resource Links to be bold and stay to
    the left. The other three items we would want to have bullets.
    When we try this in an editable region all four items move
    over and only the first gets the bullet. Do we need an additional
    editable region for the title? Is this controlled via a CSS? Any
    help you can give would be greatly appreciated. We are beginners
    with this. Thanks.

    This has nothing to do with editable regions. It's all about
    the HTML on
    the page.
    Show us the HTML for your list, and I'll tell you why it's
    happening the way
    you describe.

  • Need help with .cr2 RAW-files

    Hi,
    I've installed Aperture 2.1.2, and the newest RAW compability update (2.5).
    However, when I try to work with RAW files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera (nothing big, I know), all I see is "Unsupported image format".
    I really need help with this quick. The RAW files are in .cr2 format.

    as a last resort ...
    this is the update that added support for 1000d ... however the 3 releases post this should have it too ...
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate22.html
    but you can roll back your raw compatibility and see if that works ... then progressively go forward to current and see if/where the problem lies ...
    you could try a re-install of 2.5 ...

  • Need help with editing flash

    Hello everyone, I'm really new to flash and I have some problems with editing my flash file. Currently, I have a small flash application  in a folder, containing various kinds of files such as AS, SWF, FLA, HTML. What I want to do is to change the text inside one of the buttons in the application. After doing some reasearching, I realized that I should probably make some changes to the FLA file(Quiz.fla for example) since Quiz.fla is the only FLA file in the folder. Therefore, I opened it using Adobe Flash CS5.5, what what I found out is that the Quiz.fla file  is really different from other FLA files. It only shows a plain background when I open it, without showing the actual interface of the flash application. It does contain all the buttons and contants under the Library section on the right side of Adobe Flash . When I try to change the text inside the button then save-publish, the newly published SWF file  would just be a static picture of the button I've changed and everything else is gone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    ya, that's why I'm confused. I've actually tried editing some sample flash FLA files and all I need to do is to edit them in the Library and it would work out. But this one seems to have some weird problems. I could actually send the application folder to you if you have some time to take a look at it. Thank you very much again for the help!

  • Help with placing photos in Lightroom 4.2

    I am making my first book in the Book module and I'm not finding it as flexible as I expected. I'm slowly figuring out some answers to the questions that have arisen, but I'd like some help with the following.
    1. Can I add a small photo to the last page above the logo?
    2. Can I put a border around a photo on the front, like a frame? Or do I have to prepare a jpg in Photoshop Elements with the frame and my photo?
    3. Can I move or resize those yellow-bordered placement boxes, or make a custom layout if none of the layouts are exactly what I want?
    Answeres to these questions will take a lot of frustration out of the process. :-)
    Thanks,

  • Help with "edit in" most items grayed out

    I am not able to use anything but Edit in Photoshop and open as a smart object under "photo" in the drop down dialog. Please help me so that I am able to edit in Camera Raw, merge to Panorama, HDR, another application and open as layers from Lightroom.
    I currently have Lightroom 2.0, Camera Raw 4.5 and I just installed the upgrade patch of Photoshop CS3 so I am using 10.01. I thought that maybe this patch would work....but to no avail. I am using XP Pro for Windows. I re-loaded my entire system and decided to only install 2.0.... rather then 1.4 and then 2.0 as I was having problems with Lightroom this way as well. Thanks so much I really appreciate any assistance with this issue.
    Ruth

    Thanks so much. Actually that is a good point about selecting multiple photos. I had not done that as I didn't think that the program was working so I was editing through Bridge. Also Ian I will try the upgrade and see if that fixes the problem. I use Camera Raw all the time so I was really discouraged when it didn't show up after the CS3 patch. I will keep you posted as to whether your suggestions worked or not....thanks for your quick replies Rob and Ian!!!

  • Newbie help with editing files in DW CS3

    I am new to using Dreamweaver, and I am having trouble with
    trying to edit existing files using DW CS3. When I open an existing
    file on my local site, DW converts some of the code using &.
    This is a problem because I need to edit the file just as it was
    originally written, so I can save it after editing and upload to my
    website.
    In my Preferences, I have Code Rewriting set to:
    -Rewrite Code: Fix invalidly nexted and unclosed tags
    [Unchecked]
    -Rewrite Code: Rename form items when posting [Checked]
    -Rewrite Code: Remove extra closing tags [Unchecked]
    -Never rewrite code: In files with extensions .as .asr .asc
    .asp .ascx .asmx .aspx .cfc .cfm .cfml .config .cs .ihtml .js .jsp
    .php .php3 .vb .xml .xsl .xslt .xul
    -Special characters: Encode <, >, &, and " in
    attribute values using & [Unchecked]
    -URL encoding: Do not encode special characters
    -Active Content: Insert using browser-safe scripts [Checked
    by default]
    -Active Content: Convert tags to scripts on file open
    [Unchecked]
    Today, I opened a file with an .xml extension, and DW rewrote
    the special characters > and '. Since I have in my preferences
    to Never rewrite code in .xml, I don't understand why DW is
    rewriting the code. Also, in my preferences I have unchecked the
    Special Characters, so why is DW still rewriting the code?
    Do I have some of the Code Rewriting preferences set wrong?
    Is there another place I need to tell DW not to rewrite
    existing code?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Help with importing .raw images and b+w filters

    I have recently been taking alot of b+w images.  With most of these images I apply a red in camera filter.  When I then import the pictures into lightroom 2.3 a color version of my picture is then rendered, without the red in camera filter that i took the pictures with.  Does anyone know of a way to restrict lightroom from changing .raw images to their color version and to show them as they were taken.  If it matters I shoot with a Canon 1000D.   PLEASE HELP!!   Thanks.

    Lightroom ignores metadata settings which are what is applied when you work with RAW and use Canon's Picture Style settings.  
    Those will be applied to JPG, but not RAW.  This is actually a feature, not a bug, because it's considered to give you more control by using the settings in Lightroom for Monochrome, and apply red tints-- plus you could always still have the flexibility of making a color print if you wanted, which you'd lose if RAW enforced the Picture Style settings.  If it bugs you, shoot in RAW+Jpeg (or just Jpeg), and bring the Jpegs into LR, but I'd recommend sticking with RAW and applying the edits you want in Lightroom instead.

  • Help with managing RAW and jpeg images and installing iphoto 9

    Greetings: Fist, let me make the neophyte apology and plea - I'm sorry, I should have come here first; I didn't and now I need your help.
    I have just purchased a macbook pro (still in its box) with updated software for my older imac os x. I have a number of Canon related photo editing programs (that came with my 40D digital SLR) and Adobe photo elements 6 for mac on the imac. Following some erroneous advice I have made a complete mess of the pictures folder's content by trying to delete images directly from that folder (there are now 6000+ images in the folder, many of which are duplicates(?). Most of the images are not tagged or labeled and some have been organized in/by iphoto (I corrupted the iphoto's library structure very early on by disrupting and editing its images - which might explain why iphoto had a difficult time 'finding' and displaying some of my photos). The picture folder now holds jpegs, smallRAW images (a Canon 40D photo format) and various duplicates of the orignal images - (some of the duplicates don't display as images, but as jpeg logos, which, when opened contain duplicate image or are completely black) The first time I downloaded RAW images into iphoto 6 the RAW data displayed as a black image. When shooting in smallRAW on the Canon 40D, the camera produces a jpeg image for 'easy viewing and editing in the camera' but it looks as though iphoto 6 made duplicates of the jpeg and the RAW data and stored them in different locals in the picture file. In an attempt to get the number of images down, I have been trying to delete them from the picture folder. (My daughters both download images rather indiscriminately in hopes of 'editing them on the computer' which inevitably does not happen) and there is a lot of experimental bracketing of images - shooting raw and different Camera formats etc., all of which need to be cleaned up before I proceed.
    Sometime in the not-too-distant future I would like to have iphoto 9 running on my imac with a clean library of images and a seamless way of downloading, editing and storing images (including the RAW data).
    The macbook pro is for my highschool-aged daughter, who will run iphoto 9 but not have any RAW image data on her system. She would like to copy some of the old iMac's images to put into her own iPhoto 9 library (probably using a disk, email or on-line photo service - ideally, I would like to be able to copy and remove a number of those images from my HD and give them to her for the macbook)
    A few questions and queries: Can I 'dis-able' iphoto 6, while I delete images (RAW and jpeg) from the picture file? (and is this even a good idea).
    Once I have edited the # of images down to a reasonable size, should I re-launch iphoto 6, rebuild the iphoto library and then update to iphoto 9 or skip v6 and rebuild with v9?
    And now for the 'how stupid is this guy question' - I really had planned to purchase an external backup; but between new the macbook, car repairs and braces it has never come to fruition. So, I have never properly backed up my images. What is the bare-bones, least expensive method for me to do this? I'd even consider burning everything to disks if that works. I can't afford the $ to purchase a new external hard drive right now (really). Budget is set aside mid-November for one though.
    I've been looking through some other discussion boards and it looks like I'm not the only one having RAW image issues. I know that shooting smallRAW with the companion jpeg is probably not helping things but I take my camera equipment on extended canoe trips - and we like the ease of on-the-spot editing with this format.
    Thanks in advance for your help - Mark

    Terence, Is the picture folder the primary source for the images or does that data reside somewhere else?
    If you gathered them there, then yes.
    I really don't want to have to go through 14,000 images looking for the pictures that I want to keep (or is that my only option?).
    Only you can decide what you want to keep.
    Why does the computer keep making copies of the images and filing them under date and events?
    That's how iPhoto works. It's not a problem usually, only you did go in there and make a problem, and now we are trying to fix it.
    You advise not to muck around in the picture file via preview,
    No I don't. I advise not to much around in the iPhoto Library Folder.
    but if I download images through a program other than iPhotos - image capture or adobe aren't I doing that anyway?
    Adobe what? Adobe is a software manufacturer who make many excellent applications, you need to be more precise. And no, if you import photos with Image Capture or “adobe” no you are not interfering with the iPhoto Library Folder.
    Can you edit a base image file somewhere and remove it from the HD without iphoto making a copy of it and storing it somewhere else?
    This is stunningly easy. Don't use iPhoto. Use an image editor.
    I want to look the negatives, decide which ones I want and throw the rest away. Can that be done or am I way off course?
    Yes, and iPhoto (or similar apps) make this really easy.
    Hook up your camera. Import the pics to iPhoto. Go through the imported pics. Trash the ones you don't want. Then process the ones you do. But you must learn how to use iPhoto to do this successfully
    To trash: put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. This removes the file from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
    Process it: If you want to use another editor: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Regards
    TD
