How do I keep the original pre-RAW preview exposure ?

IF I understand it when I imort a RAW "NEF file from my Nikon, LIghtroom shows a preview that is a jpeg exposre, something equivalent to a point and shoot photo. Then after processing the info from the RAW file, it shows the unprocessed image. Typically, this image for me becomes unsaturated and less colorful. Although I want to process "some" of my photos, I like some of the point and shoot images, and I'm wondering how do you keep the original exposiure that LIghtroom shows before showing the RAW unprocessed image?
When I'm taking photos just to archive a thing, I like the advanced point and shoot saturated image. When I want to be artistic, I prefer to process them myself. Is there a setting that will allow me to keep the preview look?

Aside from what Lee Jay said (which is technically accurate) the best thing you can do is to learn how to quickly make image adjustments and if you find you are making the same adjustments all the time, create a preset or consider making a new Default tone/color adjustment for your images. The fact is that the EFIX JPEG is the camera maker's interpretation of the raw image. It's neither accurate nor sacrosanct. It's simply a different rendering of your raw data. You can look at using different DNG profiles (in the Camera Calibrate panel) to alter the color rendering and adjust your tone controls to taste and make a preset or a new Default.
But in answer to your main question can you use those JPEG previews as a basis for LR, no other than you make the manual adjustments yourself...

Exported video size smaller than original video size. How do I keep the original size?

I exporting a video from Adobe Premiere CS6 today, and I noticed the video was about 1/2 times smaller than the original video I put in.

I tried to change the preset to 1080p 29.97, 1080p 25, etc. and the same with 720p, and 480p, but the size only changed slightly.

How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

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.

Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.

Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.

Can I create DNG files while at the same time keeping the original camera RAW images?

I wish to create DNG files for my existing Lightroom catalogue, but also wishe to retain the original camera RAW images. If this can be done can you please advise how I go about it as I seem only to be able to find an option for conversion to DNG only.
Thanks

In the Conver-to-DNG dialog, you have the option to have the original Raw file deleted or not:
But, after the conversion, only the DNGs will show up in the catalog, not the original Raw images also.

After receiving an e-mail and forwarding it on everything ends up in Sent including the one I received. How do I keep the original in my Inbox?

Some mail disappears from my inbox and I have discovered that if I have to answer or forward the original e-mail it disappears permanently and the original and the reply/forward e-mail all end up in my Sent box - which is emptied each month at the moment. Any ideas how to keep the original in my Inbox? Has only happened since updating to maverick.

"In Adobe Standard, when combining files into one pdf, how do I keep the original date"?

I converted multiple emails into a pdf file. After opening the pdf file, I wanted to combine the files into one pdf however once combining the files, the date modified of the files changes to the current date. How do I preserve the original dates of the emails when combining the files?

Hi Softball ,
Thank You for posting on the forums. Apparently there is no such feature that would help you to achieve this.
Thanks,

I am trying to delete duplicate photos from events in i=-photo but it deletes the photos entirely from all events including the one I want to keep. How do I keep the original and delete the duplicates?

I am trying to delete duplicate photos fron my events in i-photo but it deltes the photo entirely from all events. How do I keep them in the original events and delte the duplicates without sending them all to the trash?

Are you referring to Events or Albums? A photo can exist in one Event only. However, it can be in multiple albums, books, etc., which uses pointers to the original photo in the Event. In those cases if you delete the photo from the Event all occurrences of it will be deleted from the library.

How I can keep the original date of a photo when I exporte it in jpeg format (using the iphoto menu) ?, How I can keep the original date of a photo when I exporte it in jpeg format (using the iphoto menu) ?

I imported photo from my iPhone 4 to t iPhoto on my MacBookPro. Then I wanted to export some of those photos as jpeg file, using the export menu of iPhoto, to put them in a folder in Finder. When I did, all the original have been lost.
I tried to copy/paste and I had the same problem.
If someone can help me, it will be great !
Thank you

Why do you think the date has been lost? If you export the photo from iPhoto the date the photo was taken is there in the EXIF data (simple EXIF viewer will let you see it - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/ )
My best guess is that you are confusing the file date with the photo date - they are totally different - photo programs like iPhoto use the photo date - file programs like the finder use the file date - they have no relationship to each other

How do I keep the original creation date showing? The date seems to change when I edit.

I don't know if there is a setting somewhere to maintain the original creation date when a document is edited. What is happening is that when I edit a document, even if it was created months ago, the creation date is often changed (though strangely not always). I know most settings are document specific, so perhaps I have unwittingly unchecked a setting on the ones that changed. I should note that previous version are being maintained through my back up and do show up in the list when I select Revert to from the File menu. But the creation date shows the date of the most recent edit on those files.
I use a MacBook Pro and an iPad to create and edit documents and am using the most recent version on both.
Thanks, in advance.

"actual original creation date must have been changed. I don't believe there is anything to fix it"
You can change the creation date using Terminal application:
touch -t YYYYmmDDhhSS /path/to/file
IE:
touch -t 200001010101 ~/Untitled\ 2013-10-11\ at\ 8.15.04\ PM.png
This produces (from the screenshot I just took):
To change the modification date only, it would be touch -mt ....etc
As to why this is occuring, what is the creation date showing....//1969?

How do I keep the original size when exporting?

I have people sending me photos to edit. I work a little in photoshop cs4 and then back in lightroom 3, but when I go to send them the photos back ,they are HUGE! How can I send them the same size file they sent me? (the ones I am currently working on are tiff. files.)

If you are editing tif files, then you have only a couple of choices.
Flatten the image before you save it. This will reduce it down to one layer. That's the smallest you can get.
When you first open the image, look to see if it's 8 bit or 16 bit tif. It won't help you, but if the image is 8 bit, and you save it as 16 bit, you will have dramatically increased the size of the file for nothing. If it's started as 16, no worries!
check if you are saving with compression. Tif compression is lossless, so unless you did something like resize+resample, it remains the same bit density, etc, so should be just as printable as what they sent you (unless you messed up!).
Cheers!

How do I keep the original background color in a Keynote presentation after PDF?

My Keynote presentations have a grey background. But when I convert to PDF, it turns to black. Help?

Hi jvtennis,
What are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Acrobat or "printing" to PDF from Keynote?
Regardless, one thing to check is that you have Show Large Images selected in the Page Display settings in Acrobat or Reader.
Best,
