How do i keep my RAW files from turing to jpeg files when exporting them to My Passport?

I am an amature photographer and take all my pitures in RAW form (highest quality and more editing capability). I was given a My Passport for Mac external harddrive to transfer all my files to to open more space on my mac book. When importing my RAW files to the Passport they automatically turn to JPEG files. I just re-imported a few files from the Passport back into Aperature and they are still JPEG files Is there something i need to do to keep my RAW files RAW? If not with the Passport, is there another external that would be of better use to me?

When you drag and drop the from Aperture you export the JPEG Preview.
Use the command "File > Export" in Aperture to export the original files.
You can also open an Aperture library in Photos - this will create a Photos library.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

How can I keep my RAW images from having anything applied to them when I import them?

Hi All,
I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III and I use a picture profile in my camera that keeps all my images with low saturation, low sharpness etc... but whenever I import RAW pictures into Lightroom, I initially see the images the way I saw them in my camera, then, one by one, when I click on them, they change without me doing anything - like if some sort of preset was being applied, to every photo, one by one -
I don't want this. I want my photos to be as RAW as possible when I import them and I don't want anything to change. I like what I see in camera and Lightroom changes this after import - how do I stop this? I checked in my Preferences under Presets and NOTHING is checked -
Help...
Thanks

This is in the FAQ and is normal behavior. Picture profiles are not actually encoded in the raw image data but written as a metadata tag in the raw file. Lightroom cannot understand these metadata tags as they are Canon proprietary. So Lightroom will show its own default rendering for the raw data. What I would do in your case is to go on one of your images into develop, scroll down to Camera Calibration and select camera neutral (probably the picture style you were applying in camera). Then set this as the default for your camera (hit option and the reset button will change). Newly imported images will now use the camera neutral profile. This is probably close to what you are looking for. It is important to remember that any treatment you select in the camera such as the picture style, black and white, extra saturation, etc. has no effect whatsoever on the raw data. They only get written as metadata tags for canon software and are reflected in the jpeg that is embedded in the raw file. Lightroom takes the raw data (which is basically simply what the sensor actually saw) and apply its own default interpretation.
You should definitely check out the camera profiles in the calibration section. They tend to give more pleasing color than the "adobe standard" profile that is there by default.

How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

Hi,
I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
Thanks,

Kyzelios,
How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
"Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

How can I keep my ipod files when connecting to new pc?

When connecting ipod to this new pc, (other one died), it says it wants to sync my files and that it will delete what is on the ipod.
This is the only files I have left since the others were on the old pc.
Is there a way to save this music before it gets 'resync'd'?
Thanks for your help

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:

How can I keep my MacBook Pro from heating up and crashing when I play Sims 3?

I have a MacBook Pro that is only about 9 monthes old. When I play Sims 3 on my computer it heats up very quickly. I can get about an hour of game play before the computer becomes slow and extremely hot. Then cetain parts of the screen turn white untill the whole screen turns white and a message appears saying something about an error happening. I am not sure if it has something to do with the computer heating up or if it's a EA problem. But if anyone has had a similar experience and knows how to fix it, that would be great. Also, any tips on how to keep my computer cool while playing games or watching movies would be great.
Thank you!

Your computer is going to run hot while playing CPU/GPU intensive games - it should heat up and the fans should be noticably loud. As to why it's 'crashing' - can you post a kernel panic log? You may have some third-party kexts that are causing the problems.

Hello briggiebunny
If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.

How do I keep the same file size, going from tiff to jpg?

Going from tiff to jpg, how do I keep the same file size? Seems like I am not able to save the jpg´s in 16-bits... Thanks!

Jpg is compressed so it won't be the same
Tiff is losless / lossy format to get the better quality
as for 16bit jpg the format doesnt support it

How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop

How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop? It seems to happen a lot after I've hooked my laptop to my Thunderbolt in my office and then I unhook my laptop to go present at a clients of taking my laptop home to work. Every once in a while if even places all of my folders and PDF files in the far upper left corner of my screen. Needless to say, having to constanly rearrange my desktop is extremly annoying and would love to know what the fix is for this problem. Thank you in advance for any help offered!

Thanks for the tip "baltwo", unfortunately my desktop settings were already set to NONE. I've had one of my IT guys here this moring helping me look through all of this and we're at a wall trying to figure out why it's doing this. This morning when I docked to the Thunderbolt all my folders and PDF files are in the upper lefthand corner stacked on top of each other almost out of view. If I go to settings, displays, and swith to mirroring, all the folders and files go right back to where they're set up on my MacBook desktop, but I lose the ability to utilize the entire screen of the Thunderbolt. Very frustrating to say the least and after searching through and reviewing several forums, Apple is very much aware of this issue and seems to be keeping silent on the issue. Hoepfully they'll launch a fix soon!
THANKS again for the tip, it's much appreciated!

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

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.

How do you process a RAW file ARW (from a Sony a7R camera) in Elements 11?

How do you process a RAW file (ARW) from Sony a7R camera in Elements 11? Elements 11 does not seem to accept a ARW file.

Doug2014
For editing of the Sony a7R raw image in Photoshop Elements Camera Raw need the following ingredients
a. The Camera Raw version must support the camera that you are using, that is, the Sony a7R. Support for that camera did not come until Camera Raw version 8.3.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
b. The version of Camera Raw must be supported by the version of Photoshop Elements. Camera Raw 8.3 is not supported until Photoshop Elements 12.
The choices would appear to be:
a. Switch to Photoshop Elements 12
or
b. Use the DNG Converter to convert the Raw image to .dng
If all you have is Premiere Elements 11 which I do not think is the case, the Camera Raw plug-in allows you only to import the raw or dng image into the project for inclusion there - no Camera Raw dialog editing. But the same Camera Raw version - Camera Support - Premiere Elements version support still exists.
Please review.
Thanks.

How do I reset a RAW file to it's original settings?

Hello
[I use PS CS3 (Although I have access to CS4) and an intel imac]
I want to keep my RAW files unadulterated, in the state that they were shot, so that I can return to them at a later date to 'play' again, with a fresh point of view. However, when I open Bridge, i see they have the icon on them indicating that changes have been applied to them. I don't need the RAW files with the changes, I already have the jpgs and tiffs that i created from them.
Yes, i searched the forms here and found how to prevent the settings from being applied to RAW files that I open from now on: tested the method and it's good.
I also followed the remove xmp file advice and that worked, too.
However, I still have a couple of RAW files that didn't have xmp files associated with them, and I can't get rid of the little icon, hence i assume the changes are still there.
How can I recover the original unchanged RAW files for these?
What I've tried: in Camera Raw i 'reset camera raw defaults', because I thought that would return all the sliders to the unchanged state, but as you can see, it still indicates changes. The camera is panasonic, and came with Silky Pix to work with the RAW files: last night I tried SP on the same photo (created the spd file). Would the spd file have anything to do with my problem?
By the way, SP opened the raw file while it still had the CR changes applied and I think SP might have been working from the already-adjusted raw file. (Which is another reason why i want to keep the RAW files clean and original)
Hope someone can help me (And that this isn't too confusing)

Hi
I just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 6 and installed Camera Raw. I’m taking RAW photos since some time so I hope this will improve my workflow.
Like Elizbonn, I’m a bit lost about some features of Camera Raw and the files it manages.
I understand what a RAW file is and I think I understand what a DNG file is.
Is there a reference document more specific than the Help files?
I found out by myself a couple of stuff but I’m not quite sure I guessed correctlt and I have some questions here. Maybe they are answered some place.
1. The RAW file is never modified (by any soft that I know of actually). Right?
2. DNG is a universal format that stores the same data as the original RAW with no loss. Right?
2.1. Yet creating a DNG file is optional. I have a Canon camera so my RAWs are in CR2 format which is widely supported and since I’m just an amateur photographer I don’t need to go for DNGs. Right? Or I could just trash the CR2 files without losing anything. Right?
3. The xmp file stores parameters about both the RAW file and the DNG (if I create one). It has to remain in the same folder at all times. I tried renaming: it works if it's applied to all the files. Some under-the-hood details are still unclear with Camera Raw:
3.1. When a RAW image is opened, if I do no modification and I click the Open Image button, an xmp file is created. What for? If I trash it nothing happens.
3.2. When a RAW image is opened, if I do some modifications and I click the Open Image button the modifications I did are stored in the xmp file. In the future, whenever I open that RAW file, Camera Raw will display the modified image provided the xmp is in the same folder. Right? The only way to revert to the original image is by moving the xmp file somewhere else. Right?
3.3. The Undo function with Camera Raw goes only one step backward. Right?
4. Camera Raw’s functions are in part similar to Photoshop Element’s and some are specific. Do they work the same?
Thanks in advance for your input.
