Hidden RAW files in Photos

After upgrading macs I have been forced into Photos from iPhoto
I shoot in both RAW and JPG but prefer to work on the RAW files so often just delete the JPG's
When I import into Photos from my SD card I can only view and edit the JPG files though the RAW are still present.
How can I either view both so I can select to delete the JPG files as I wish and also so I can edit the RAW files?
the Images which have a hidden RAW file have a small J in the lower left corner

How can I get iPhoto back? It says it is no longer available in the UK and all the updates online have been discontinued.
The update just removed the iPhoto icon from the Dock. iPhoto should still be in your Applications folder, if you did not uninstall it intentionally.
If your iPhoto version is iPhoto 9.6.1, just drag iPhoto from the Applications folder back to the Dock, then click it to launch it.
You will see a prompt, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated, but just click the "Open iPhoto" button and iPhoto will open the old library.
If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

RAW files in Photos with iOS 8

Has anyone found a solution to the way iOS 8 has slowed down the rendering of RAW files in Photos? This used to be one of the main ways in which I used my iPad and on photo shoots it was very impressive. Now I cannot use it to any effect. I've tried rebooting the iPad and closing apps, and while this initially improved it a bit, it is still not smooth as it was before iOS 8.

The documentation for Photos does not explain at all, how RAW files are rendered in Photos.
In iOS 7 it was documented, that RAW files were not rendered at all. iPhoto and Photos simply edited the embedded JPEG from the RAW file. And I strongly suspect, that that is still what happens. Have you changed the settings in your camera to a different RAW compression and are now using a different RAW format than previously?

How can I locate the original .CR2 / Raw file from Photos in finder?

How can I locate the original .CR2 / RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program. I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.

http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.

Problem exporting RAW files from Photos

Previously when using iphoto when exporting images I was given the option of exporting the orrigional RAW image as well as the edited now jpg.
With Photos I am ot given this option and can only export the edited jpg and can not even find the master file though Photos says the image I am viewing is the
RAW file.

Um
File -> Export -> Export Unmodified Originals?

DELETING RAW FILES IN PHOTOS OS X

I shoot in JPEG plus RAW. The files download to Photos and are stacked. I do not need ALL the RAW files taking up space on my hard drive.
Does anyone know how I delete all of the unwanted RAW files in ONE action rather than doing it photo by photo which is very long winded.
Thanks

I spoke too soon - actually that doesn't work - I imported some RAW files today and the smart album isn't picking them up for some reason. The ones I could see previously were all imported using iPhoto and before it was changed to Photos.
Any other thoughts>

IOS 8.1 is viewing of raw files in photos app fast?

After upgrading from ios 7 to ios 8 the viewing of raw photos (nikon NEF) in the photos app became very slow.
Is this still the case wit IOS 8.1? Under ios 7 viewing nikon nefs was as fast as viewing jpegs.I have an ipad air of the first generation.

Yes. It has been sped up, but only a little.. It's still freezing on images and crashing.
I'm selling my iPad and iPhone because of this and all the other bugs.

RAW file import to Photos; OS X 10.10.3

How to import the RAW files into Photos?
Panasonic DMC-LX3. I shoot both RAW and JPG images. iPhoto would import both images for each picture, Photos just imports the JPG. I am NOT using the iCloud photo library. The picture in Photos has a small shadowed box in left bottom corner with a J in it - almost like there is a hidden file, no idea what the J means, can find no reference in help files or online.
I've tried importing direct from the memory card in iMac slot and with camera plugged into USB - no difference. Photos did pull over all the RAW files from the iPhoto library on first startup.
The LX3 is listed as supported by OS X Yosemite V10.10 OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
Maybe the issue is that I could select Adobe Photoshop Elements as the photo editor in iPhoto preferences . Photos does not have this external editor feature.Help!

My camera's JPEG processing is almost always better than the default JPEGs created by either Aperture or Photos for OS X.
Sure.
Not to mention the time needed to create them in the applications, which slows down the import process quite a bit.
Well that doesn't make sense, as they are created anyway, and if you use in camera editing on the jpeg you actually be generating two sets of previews on import.
If the shot doesn't need work I'd like to throw the RAW away and not pay for the storage it uses up (locally and in the cloud).
This is easy:
File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Raw
Find them, and then you can delete the ones you don't want.

All RAW files suddenly said to need reprocessing

I am running Aperture 3.0.3 with OS 10.6.4 so everything is as up-to-date as can be. I upgraded from Aperture 2 within a week of Aperture 3 being released and all my RAW files were updated in the process. Since then, I have added several thousand more pictures directly into whatever the latest version of Aperture was at that time. My RAW files are all from a Nikon D40.
The last time I used Aperture (about a week ago) everything was normal, but today the program suddenly tells me this about all my RAW files: "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing"
Obviously this should be impossible for the several thousand of pictures that have only existed within Aperture 3 as they would have been automatically processed using the latest version. However, if I filter pictures by which RAW processor was used for decoding, every RAW file except the 6 new files I just imported to check (they correctly show RAW Decoding 3.0) shows that it was decoded with RAW Decoding 2.0.
If I push the reprocess button, my photos change slightly, becoming a little brighter, a little warmer, with a touch more saturation. I exported some JPEGs to compare to pictures I have outside Aperture and there is a definite (but subtle) change after reprocessing compared to my original edits done in Aperture 3. All quickbrush adjustments are available for all RAW files as well, which I thought was only possible if the file was updated to the latest processing...but I'm not sure about that.
I restored my library from a vault (updated about 1 week ago, unsure if before/after this issue began) and I get the same message. The only change I've made recently has been installing the Camera RAW update that came about in the past few weeks. Is it possible that made this suddenly start happening?
Of course I want to have the latest RAW decoding for my files, but I'm concerned that pictures I edited and exported months ago appear to have a different version of RAW processing than Aperture now wants to give my files. Anyone with a clue of what's going on or what I can do to troubleshoot this issue.

Aperture user since v1.0. Nikon D70.
You're not alone. This message has recently appeared on my entire library of D70 RAW images, excluding my two most recent imports.
At the same time, many precious, carefully hand tweaked images have taken on a very pronounced dark green colour cast (which renders them as completely useless). It seems that the more carefully the file had been tweaked, the more likely it was to have been affected by the dark green cast. I am extremely disappointed by this.
FWIW. Depending on their vintage my images may have been originally processed in RAW Decode v1, v1.1, v2 or v3. All images were reprocessed in RAW Decode v3 when Aperture 3 was originally released.
Reprocessing the images using RAW Decode Version 3 removes this colour cast but also creates images of a different pixel size! Previously they were 3024px by 1998px; after reprocessing they are 3008px by 2000px. This is the size that Adobe's and Nikon's own RAW processors produce, so the previous dimensions must be seen as Apple's mistake (I reported it as such when Aperture 1 was first released, so I suppose we should be glad that they've gotten round to fixing it).
This change in pixel dimension is covered in support.apple.com/kb/TS3114 which says that the change occurs after upgrading to Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.3. Of course, the release notes for Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.3 made no mention of this. And Apple seem to be playing the whole affair with their customary stone wall.

Windows Explorer Thumbnail View and 7D Mark II RAW Files

I am running latest version of PhotoShop CC on Windows 8.1 Toshiba laptop. Prior to purchasing my Canon 7D Mark II, I could view Canon RAW files as photo thumbnails in Windows Explorer. Since upgrading cameras, I get generic thumbnails when I view a folder full of RAW files from the 7D Mark II. Is there a fix? I use Irfanview as a general file viewer and Adobe Camera RAW to open files in PhotoShop, but I seriously miss the ability to find a specific photo quickly in Windows Explorer.

Hi billyray1usa ,
may I suggest that you try to use Bridge to view and navigate between the thumbnails with the possibility of having the large preview of each image in more than Adobe Bridge updates with PS and Camera Raw.

LR3 destroys my RAW files. Impossible to make them look normal.

Hi!
Problem: Lightroom 3 and Adobe Camera RAW make my RAW files look very weird. No import preset is beign applied. Pictures look far too contrasted, saturated and with a yellow tint.
Before you answer: I have read a looot about this subject. I know RAW files cannot be actually destroyed and that LR3 isn´t doing anything to them. It just shows me how he thinks the picture looks. Ok, I can live with that. It doesn´t have to look just like my JPGs, but I expect at least a similarity, not this horrendous thing. My point is that LR3 is WAY OFF and, apparently, this is not usual.
I use LR3 on a Windows 7 machine. This are Canon RAW files from my T2i.
I have Adobe Camera RAW 6.3 installed (latest version).
I dont apply any importing presets to my files
I tried changing Camera Profiles, but the tweaks are minor and don´t fix the issue.
Other software renders my RAW files perfectly: Photo Mechanic, Fast Stone and Canon DPP.
English is not my first language, so please excuse my grammatical errors.
EXAMPLE:
Both picture were taken using the same settings. I shooted in manual mode. My flash was set to manual for consistency. White Balance was set to flash mode. The first two pictures haven´t been retouched. They are straight exports from LR3. The third picture is my retouched RAW files. That was the closest I could get to my JPG.
I also tried changing my settings in the develop module to achieve something similar to my JPGs, but I cannot get rid of the contrast and washed out colors.
Bigger Size: http://i55.tinypic.com/2januyo.jpg
The only solution I have found is to make my White Balance adjustments on Canon DPP, and then save my RAW files to JPG. Only then will I use LR3 to preocess them. As you can see, i would like to skip Canon DPP, so if you could help make LR3 and ACR interpret my RAW files decently, I would thank you A LOT.

It is unfortunate that the RawRants writer doesn't provide links to the CR2 files so others might try converting them.
Yeah, it would have been more interesting if there was an opportunity for others to show what they could do with those raws... oh well.

I suspect the white-balance didn't work on the very first example photo-pair because the cloud area was clipped and LR doesn't allow WB-eyedroppering at a 100% area. The solution is to click on a non-clipped area...
Good point.

If you click on the on B/W flower thumbnail it leads to a gallery with main paired images, where the NX versions of his poppies seem very oversaturated compared to the non-NX version. Apparently he prefers the oversaturation. Maybe his monitor is very dull.
NX2 really does tend to render very saturated yellows, especially the lighter tones. Most often I prefer Lightrooms subtler handling, but not always.
PS - I've found with enough fiddling, I can get Lightroom processed photos to look almost exactly the same as NX2 processed photos, and vice versa - really is the person behind the keyboard that is the biggest factor determining the final result.
On the other hand, how much fiddling you have to do in one vs. the other to get the results you want is pretty much what its all about... Blah, blah, blah...

Why does Aperture make D7000 RAW files Dark????????

Okay, i've been through a million different ways - files look GREAT, then you load them into Aperture and they look like sh*t.
And i finally figured out a way to PROVE that Aperture is screwing up my files! Here's what I did:
Transfered original RAW files from my Nikon D7000 to a folder on a hard drive.
1. Photo Mechanic: Loaded a RAW file into photo mechanic, it looked nice - exactly like it looked on my camera screen, did absolute nothing to it, exported it as a JPG. It came out looking NICE! Nice soft colors, lots of subtleties, beautiful. Could be a little sharper, but I wanted to make absolutely NO adjustments - since the test was for overall color and image quality.
2. Aperture: Loaded the exact same original RAW file into Aperture and it looked like crap! DARK, muddy, all the subtletiy is lost. I did Nothing to adjust it, exported it as a high quality JPG - it came out DARK and muddy. Ugly!
***????? So annoying!!! This happens over and over and over again.
It's YOU Aperture! Not me!! Not my files! Not my camera - which i've brought back to get checked countless times to see if something was wrong with the camera.
It's really annoying. You have to fix it! There are countless comments online about this same problem. FIX IT!!!!!!!
If you email me i'll attach the two sample files. I did NOTHING to adjust either of them in either program. This is just the crappy dark garbage that Aperture generates from perfectly beautiful RAW files from Nikon D7000 cameras.
- please respond.

What happens if, as an experiment, you use Adobe DNG Converter to convert one of the D7000's NEFs into a DNG? Same result?

Why is the new iOS 8 photo app slow handling photo raw files

I Have been importing my photos to ipad using the camera kit since the first iPad was released.
Originally I only imported JPEG, however as my photographic interest grew I switched to photo raw.
I have since being importing and edit pentax PEF photo raw files through the various versions of iOS, however since this new version the experience of editing and viewing my photos is slow, and unpleasant.
Choose a photo to view, and a blurry picture appears, and a second or 3 and the blurry images clears and I can view my photo, now swipe left to the next picture and the photos move as they should then stick half of the first picture is shown and half of the second, wait 2 / 3 seconds and the second picture is revealed, blurry, and wait another second or to and it clears. It carries on in this fashion, and it turns a pleasant experience, into a frustrating one.
on previous versions of iOS there would be a small pause as images loaded, but it was always smooth to move from picture to picture.
i Have tried switching to RAW+ hoping that only the attached JPEG would be imported. This did not appear to work with the whole image being imported.
please anyone how can I get back to the iOS photo app that worked better with raw photo files?

Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries. How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone? Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it. It was a problem with iOS 7 and 8.1.1 doesn't fix it. The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work. I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today. At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer.

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.
