How do I relink edits made to raw files?

I had to reload my aperture library from a back up and now my edits are not showing up. How do I link the edits back to my projects?

Thanks for the reply.
The edits I am referring to were made in Aperture 3, which included everything from brush work to exposure tweeking and croping.
The back up was made by copying the Aperture library as well as the pictures file located on the Imac hard drive. This was done manually, I did not use any back up software. In my back up I see the original cr2 files as well as an xmp file and a jpg file for each photo. I originally imported cr2s while downloading photos from my flash card into the Aperture Library as a project for editing. I began to have trouble with Aperture being very slow and it was continually "Processing", I was convinced my trouble was corrupt files in the Aperture library. I also had an issue with a project that was too large so I created new projects containing fewer files. Instead of having a project containing all photos from 2011, I created projects for 2011-1, 2011-2, 2011-3 and 2011-4 for the quarters of the year. I then imported the cr2 files by date into the new projects I created. I created a new library and copied my projects from the old library into the new library and that is when I began to have trouble. I have tried to load the xmp files into my Aperture library but it seems not not recognise them.
Because this computer is a family computer I was hoping to reduce the problem of corrupt files by creating my personal Aperture library.
I am new to Aperture and on a very slow learning curve so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

CS6 misunderstands color in edited CS5 NEF raw files: too purple

This is a problem that Adobe CS6 / Lightroom 4 / Camera Raw 7 have in reading Nikon D50 camera raw NEF files.
Here are other more informative but still unresolved posts:

I got Photoshop CS6 Extended from Creative Cloud. I got a problem with how CS6 handles the color info from files edited with CS5. I spent time searching the web for answers but am afraid I did not find any. Please help!
In CS6, my CS5 files look too purple. (Or you may call it too magenta or too blue.)
How can I get CS6 to correctly understand the color information of raw NEF files previously edited with CS5?
CS6 reads my previously edited NEF (Nikon Raw) files with a purple tint. The purple shows up in Bridge thumbnails, Bridge Previews, Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw, and Photoshop itself. If I process the raw (NEF) file with Image Processor, the JPEG produced is still purple. So, CS6 is consistent but not correct!
The appended Apple Preview screenshot shows the difference in the JPEGs made with CS5 and CS6.
(1) Top Red: CS5 JPEG from image processor.
(2) Middle Purple: CS6 JPEG from image processor. It looks purple in Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop.
(3) Bottom Red: Nikon Raw file as seen by Apple Preview.
I append an example of what my files look like in CS6 Bridge. Each pair of images should look the same, but CS6 makes the NEF raw images look purple. The left is the raw NEF file and the right is the JPEG that was produced from the raw file. There is no visible difference between NEF and JPEG images in CS5.
The same purple result can also be found in Lightroom 4.

This is a known problem and Adobe employee MadManChan2000 created V3 beta profiles for Nikon D3, D300 and D700. It appears the V3 profiles have not actually made it into a LR release yet, but you can download them and install them into LR to see if they make a difference:

For the most accurate Lightroom camera profiles I can highly recommend the Color Checker Passport by X-Rite. Every camera body's image sensor has its own unique color profile, so any "canned" profile is a compromise at best. The ColorChecker Passport also helps you to more accurately establish and set your White Balance in LR.

How do I stop PSE8 from overwriting raw files?

I evidently did something wrong. I wanted to edit my camera raw file but save the finished product as a JPEG. When I was finished, I noticed the raw file is now changed the same as the JPEG.
I made edits in Adobe Camera Raw Editor and clicked on Open Image to import the changes to the PSE8 Editor. Is this proper? I am learning PSE8 and am a little mixed up on use of the Camera Raw Editor and transferring the file to PSE8's Editor.
I don't really want to ever make any changes to the Raw files. I wanted to keep them original. Must I make those files "Read Only" in Windows to protect the files?
I have tried searching for info about this, with little success. I evidently can't find the right terminology for the search.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

What you describe isn't possible. PSE never changes a raw photo; in fact, it can't change a raw photo — the software simply doesn't have the capability.
Perhaps, if you are looking at the Organizer, you are looking at the JPG in a "Version Set", where in this instance the Organizer only shows the JPG and not the RAW. You should be able to uncover the RAW (which is "hidden below" the JPG in the Version Set) by right-clicking on the JPG in the Organizer and selecting Version Set->Expand...

Sounds good to me. I should point out that normally, you would do as many edits as possible in Adobe Camera Raw; and then only use the PSE Editor if you need to make edits that can't be done in ACR (for example, layers). You would NOT create a JPG or TIF or PSD if ACR did all the editing you need; in that case click on Done.
I don't really want to ever make any changes to the Raw files. I wanted to keep them original. Must I make those files "Read Only" in Windows to protect the files?
Trust me, your original RAW files are not changed at all.

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.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5. I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work. I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files. I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not. Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version. Always use the very latest version. 8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files. Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated. You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

How to Delete imported JPEGS after matching RAW files are imported as masters

Using a 5D Mark III and shoot JPEG (SD) and RAW (CF).
Aperture 3.5.1, using a managed library
Perviously, using a 7D so new to shooting JPEG and RAWs from an aperture Aperture workflow standpoint.
I know that i can import the JPEGs > delete images that do not make the cut > then import the matching RAW files in the import dialogue that correspond to the JPEGs in the Aperture Library.
I use the RAW files as my Camera Master images and once the RAW files are imported, the smaller resolution JPEGs are no longer needed or viewed in my normal edit workflow. I only need the JPEGs to quickly go through the images to find out which RAW files i need to import at a later time to increase the speed of import > edit > deliver.
My Assumptions:
1. Logic would lead me to believe that after import the user should see a stack like image representation with whatever file type is considered Master to be on top and the viewable secondary file type on the bottom. clicking on the image stack should allow you to see both file types as you would normally see with image stacks with the same files types. This is not the case... What am i missing here?
2. Logic again would lead me to believe that when i have the ability to delete one of the 2 image types as i do not need both in the end. After the import process is complete and RAWs are backed up, I want to delete the JPEG files as they are just taking up more space on my DAS drive array... There is no need to keep a duplicate of every file in both JPEG and RAW format. This is not the case as when i delete the JPEG or RAW, both files formats are deleted simultaneously. What am i missing here?
Problems: (correspond to Assumptions above)
1. I do not seem to have access to both images (JPEG & RAW) in a stack where i can expand and close the stack to see both? It seems like i only have access to the image type i have selected as Master? This seems counter intuitive to what the workflow should be as why would aperture 'lock the secondary file types away' so you can't easily view both file types as the same time for comparison?
2a. Reality seems to be that i do not have access to the JPEG and RAW image files. I can only see one at a time by selecting the images and choosing 'make JPEG master’ and then respectively... 'make RAW master', but you can't see both at the same time for file comparison.
2b. Also, I can't find a way to delete the JPEG images after the RAW files have been imported. I would presume most professional photographers shoot RAW and do not shoot JPEG as their camera master or editing master images. I do not understand why aperture has captured both as a pair in the library that does not allow me to delete the JPEG (in this case) as i have selected the RAW as my master.
If someone can please help... The function seems like either i am missing something obvious or that the implemented function of using RAW + JPEGs files for import is broken from a real world workflow standpoint.

leonie...
thank you for clearing that up for me.
I think that at this point it is silly to use the JPEG+RAW import functionality as it seems that it takes longer to do the above steps than to just import only the RAW files and press on from there.
I seems what i have done in the past of only importing the RAW files and then using the quick preview functionality to reduce image load times is the best thing in can come up with without keeping 'duplicates' in the database.
That really baffels me that there is no built in functionality to remove the JPEG from a RAW+JPEG pair and i wonder how the real world photographers who help Apple test and implement software to solve real world workflow problems thought the JPEG+RAW import was going to be used.
I do understand that i can use a smaller JPEG file size to reduce the bloat of the database, but used over hundreds of thousands of images is certainly going to make a dent in my total aperture database size and therefore storage needs down the road.
If you have any other workflow thoughts, or know of a 3rd party plugin/ etc... to fix this obvious shortcoming then i am all ears..
thank you again Leonie and have a great week

How to store multiple edits of the same file

When I edit photos I typically create several versions of the same photo. The first edit I will end the filename with an "x". The second edit I will end with a "y", etc. For a black and white edit the file name ends with "bw". An edited version scaled down for sharing will typically end with it's long side dim i.e. IMG_2345_960.jpg. I'm new to Lightroom and it looks like only one version is stored in the data base. Can multiple versions be saved in the catelog? How would I set my version system up in Lightroom? Thank You.

You can also use "snapshots". Snapshots are saved and when you open a RAW file just select the snapshot you want and output the image.

How to stop Lightroom from auto-adjusting RAW files

Is there a way to stop Lightroom from automatically "fixing" my RAW files? When I first load them in they look perfect (like they do on the back of my camera), but then LR auto-adjusts them to make them dull and desaturated and not at all contrasty. Is there a way that I can set LR to not do anything to the files and let me decide what I want the original to look like?

I totally understand where II is coming from. I too find it bothersome that in some images, the pre-processed preview is a more pleasing image than the unprocessed RAW. At the same time, it is the unprocessed nature of the RAW image that is the whole attraction and point to shooting RAW. An obvious workaround (if one is willing of course) is to shoot RAW+JPEG so as to either have the JPEG as a "target" reference or final image when suitable. And that is an option I used to employ until I got tired of dealing with the issues of essentially doubling the number of images I was working with.
I do disagree with II's thought that the preview showing up is slowing down any processing of the RAW image. It would seem to me that the whole reason the preview is showing up is that it is a prerendered aspect of the file that pops up while the actual preview rendering is taking place. While I don't claim to have technical knowledge as to how this all works, I would think that LR is simply showing the initial rendering of what the RAW file is telling LR it looks like until LR can actually make it's OWN interpretation. Either way, the process is fast enough that it isn't a huge issue to me on my system. In fact, those images where I see a vast difference between the inital preview image and the LR rendered resolve no slower than the rest.
It is interesting to know that there are applications/utilities out there that will extract that inital preview though. I thionk it would be very cool if LR made use of such a capability more directly as an option.
Anyway, while the frequency of my use of LR so far pales in comparison to that of PS and Bridge, so far I can say that such discrepency between nice looking inital preview and less than so RAW is far less common than it is working with PS and Bridge CS2.

Saving alternate edits of a Raw file

I am wondering how best to save several alternate versions of the same Raw file. I'm aware that it's possible to save presets, but these don't seem to be image-specific - ie, all the presets I create are available for every Raw file I open. If I'm going to save a few alternate versions of several Raw files then the settings menu and Presets tab are going to get fairly crowded.
Is there any way of saving image-specific settings so that they only appear in the settings menu when that image is opened? I imagine this depends on whether it's possible to save alternate settings in the same xmp file. If the option isn't available then I'd suggest this as a possible new feature.
At the moment the only option I can see is save different versions of the same file as DNGs, and stack them in Bridge.
Apologies if I'm missing something

There is a way to do this with Camera Raw as well. Open your original raw image and make changes to it. Then, in ACR, use the save button to save a DNG copy that includes all of the changes. The DNG file will contain all of your changes as well as the original raw image data. After you have saved the DNG, either click on the Cancel button to cancel the changes you have made to the original raw image and return to Bridge, or else reset the image and start on your next rendering that you will save to another DNG file.
