How can I REPLACE original RAW files with JPG's and keep my 'Develop mode' edits?

An image describing my problem:
http://i.imgur.com/hcqMYkv.jpg
(Lightroom 5)
'edits' = Edits made in develop mode.
'CR2' = My RAW image file format.
I have existing CR2's with edits for them saved in Lightroom.
I want to replace the CR2's with JPG's, and do nothing else. I want those JPG's to inherit the CR2's edits, but I DO NOT want the edits to be permanently applied to the image.
If I export the CR2's (which have edits) to JPG's, the edits will be permanently applied to them. I do not want this.
If I export the CR2's to JPG's without the edits, I have no way of getting the edits back and will have to redo the work if I use that photo again.
Any solutions? I've been trying for a while and have no idea how to do this.
Q: Why not keep the CR2's?
A: I am uploading these files to an online host (S3) as my primary storage method and uploading CR2's takes way too long with my internet speeds. Furthermore, online storage costs money.
Q: Why not shoot with JPGs instead of shooting raw?
A: I do my initial edits with the raw files and then archive them as JPG's to save storage space. They won't be raw anymore if I apply future edits, but I still have the option of retouching them from the 'original' state and still have my old edits preserved.

Probably the best thing for you to do is simply use lossy DNG format (e.g. export as, or convert to..): raw data is re-formatted with jpeg compression (full-rez or reduced-rez), but all raw settings apply.
If you insist on trying to have a true jpeg file with (mostly) raw settings, then:
The simplest way I can think of to do it without a script or plugin:
* Reset the raw photo (consider preserving things that don't translate well, like profile-based lens corrections and white balance).
* Export jpeg
* Un-reset the image (e.g. using edit history or pre-reset snapshot).
* Sync settings from raw to jpeg (note: omit settings that don't transfer well, or that were not reset..).
* Optionally: Delete raw
To automate/streamline would require a script or plugin.

Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same phone number? Thanks.

Hi, Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same AT&T phone number? Thanks.

Hi
There are always some wrinkles in this kind of change. If you have a home security system like ADT they require a land-line for their system to work. This less of an issue in apartments and condos - it's mostly a "house" issue.
Before you make the switch (and there may be a switching fee) just make sure you cover all the bases.
Cheers

Can't Replace (Relink) AIFF files with anything.

Hi there,
using FCPx 10.0.9 on 64 bit iMac which runs like a top.
I used some AIFF's in a session before experiencing and confirming here that even when using optimized media, they upset our finicky FCPX.   I converted the files to WAVs used relink (and create optimized media again) to replace them, and everything was fine.
Somehow the files have become unlinked. The Event Browser files still show as AIF files in the Event Browser (and in the Relink dialogue window,) and when I try to relink them to the WAV versions, it *seems* to work at first. The progress bar for "Confirming compatible format type" or whatever finishes quickly & disappears, then the file name is no longer in the Relink window. Great right?
Only nothing has changed in the Event Browser or Timeline. I seem to have trashed the original AIF files once the WAV's worked, but I have even tried converting the WAVs *back* to AIFF's and tried to relink to those just to see if relink worked at all, and yeah, no.
Totally stumped, and a bit worried. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian

Doing "Show in Finder" for the AIFF files brings up aliases in the Event's Original Media Folder.   Based on some file path remnants it's now looking like I actually imported the AIFF's (converted in iTunes from mp3's) directly from an iTunes folder in which I created them (and tagged them as a single album,) whereas I thought I had imported them as optimized media. That would confirm why the AIFF's were wonky. Anyway those files / album / folder have been deleted through iTunes, which I would have done assuming the WAV's were securely in their place.
The WAV'es *were* imported with optimized media setting, as evidenced by the real files - not aliases - being in the Original Media folder. (WAV's originally created in iTunes before optimized import.)
So yes WAV versions are in broswer and fully available. How would I replace the AIF files with the WAV's, I assumed relink was the way to do that. Or do you mean replace the edit pieces in time line.   I don't know how I would do that to get all the time codes to match - dropping the full clip over the edit piece gives a number of options but I don't think any will replace with same in and out time code, unless I'm mistaken.   Also I would like to confirm that my Relink can still be functional.
I did try one more thing, which was to delete one of the WAVs from the Event, then trying again to link to it again - thinking maybe the AIFF couldn't link to it because it was already associated with a clip in the Event.   It didn't work.   Also if it had it wouldn't explain why when I try to link to a newly created AIFF version, it will not link to that either, despite identical file names.

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
All newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
Procedure
1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
c) Save the file.
d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
f) Log in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
RequestCenter_0.properties
RequestCenter_1.properties
RequestCenter_2.properties
RequestCenter_3.properties
RequestCenter_4.properties
RequestCenter_5.properties
RequestCenter_6.properties
RequestCenter_7.properties
5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
699=General Inbox
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
String ID File Name
0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
7. Restart RequestCenter.
Your customized text should be displayed.

I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page. Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button. We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

How can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

how can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

You can download the 7.1 DNG converter to make copies of your canon raw files in the adobe dng format, which can then be opened in pse 9.
As said above the the latest camera raw plugin 6.5 for pse 9 won't open those files directly, but will open the the converted dng files.

My old MobileMe account surfaced when I was on a support call. I didn't discover it until the case was closed. How can I replace this obsolete account with my current iCloud account?

My old MobileMe account surfaced when I was on a support call. I didn't discover it until the case was closed. How can I replace this obsolete account with my current iCloud account?

Do you mean that you were using the Apple ID which is your ex-MobileMe address? It's still an Apple ID, even though MobileMe itself is dead, and there's nothing to stop you from using it as an ID with Support, or logging in here or in iTunes with it. You should make sure you have a functioning non-Apple email address associated with it.
Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August last? If so, you can set up an iCloud account using it, or if you have already set up a new and separate iCloud account you can still log in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that it runs alongside your iCloud account.
If you didn't migrate you can still reactivate the address the same way.
Anything where you've logged in with the ex-MobileMe address, such as support for something you registered using it or a server such as iTunes, will need to continue using it.

Since I am writing the book in Italian, how can I replace the word CHAPTER with CAPITOLO ?

I think you need to run iBA in Italian so the templates are in that language. You can do that by switching your OS X to Italian and then reopening iBA or perhaps by using this app to just change the iBA language:

How can I automatically create the files with serie-name?

Hello, Everyone,
I have a question again.
How can I automatically create the file with a serie-filename?

How can I do it?`
Thanks a lot.
