How to convert raw to jpeg in aperture???

I am new to this and cannot figure out how to save it in Jpeg

When you export an image, you select a file format such as JPG (and much else besides). Until you export raw images, you should keep them raw, as that allows you to retain much more data, and gives you much more latitude in changes you can make to the image.

How do i convert raw to jpeg in aperture

How do I convert raw to jpeg in Aperture 3 ?

I find all this rather strange! I often convert RAW to Jpeg if I want to keep an image for reference but it doesn't merit or require the 8 to 10MB of the RAW file (on my computer, my external drive, or anywhere else). For example, I take photos of artefacts in museums, and I also photograph the labels/legends beside them, for reference. I can keep those solely as quite small Jpegs since I'm never going to want to print them.
(No, I don't want to switch settings on the camera while I do this - I'll only forget to switch back, and then have loads of low-res Jpegs that were meant to be glorious RAW).
In other software I've used, there's a batch convert that makes this very simple. Seems that in Aperture I'm obliged to export and then re-import. Not a big deal, but a slight pain in the arse all the same, and a little odd.
Anyway, thanks to the above posts, I now know how to do the export-import malarkey. I couldn't find it in the manual.

How to convert RAW files to JPEG?

I have a bunch of raw files and I am not sure how to convert them to JPEG. I sure would appreciate some help with this. Thank you

As you are posting on the Canon forum, I will assume you are using a Canon camera. Your camera came with the software you need. It's called Digital Photo Professional. It will also have the user manual for the software.

HOW TO CONVERT RAW FILES TO JPEG RGB 8 BIT in iphoto

Can someone please tell me how to convert RAW files to jpeg RGB 8 bit in iphoto on an iMac?

How are you trying to "export to Mypics"? The only way to get a Raw out of iPhoto is to export with the Kind set to Original.

Convert RAW to jpeg

Hello,
I'm using Aperture to organize my photos and have been shooting in RAW. I'd say that out of 100 pics, I might take advantage of the RAW format to edit 5 of them. I'm new to photography and during the learning process have taken a lot of pics of, for example, my dog that I really don't need in RAW format but don't want to delete altogether. I intend to continue shooting in RAW, but would like to convert my older pics to JPEG as I've filled up my external hard drive that my library is kept on (I'm using a 2006 core duo macbook). I know the usual advice is "never convert raw to jpeg to save space, just buy a new hard drive," but I really don't need 500+ pics of my dog in RAW format, jpeg will be 100% fine, and don't want to shell out the money for a new hard drive right now (although eventually I will.)
My question is: is there a way to selectively convert my photos or even entire projects from RAW to jpeg and maintain the organization structure? I know I can export to JPEG, but then I have to re-import and re-organize them all, correct? Either way, I then have to go through and delete the RAW versions, right?
Thanks,
John

I have a desktop PC with 4 internal drives that I'm backing up my images to over my wireless network on a (somewhat) regular basis, so if/when the external does crash, i've got the images backed up. The problem is that I've only got a 60Gb in the laptop, and a 320Gb external that is partitioned to allot 90Gb for time machine and the rest shared between music and photos, which has filled up pretty quickly. I'm looking into a 1TB external for the future, but I really like my 320 western digital as it is USB powered and really great for on-the-go. Maybe I'll think about a smaller library on the 320 and the permanent library on the 1TB. In the meantime, I need to free up some space on the external one way or another.
Thanks,
John

How to convert raw files from new fujifilm x-t1 ?

how to convert raw files from new fujifilm x-t1 ?

The work around of converting the CR2 to dng either with the dng converter or ACR 6.7 will allow working in LR and CS5 but not with the latest raw conversion engine from Adobe i.e PV 2012.
Remember to keep a copy of the CR2 files if you wish to utilize the Canon software.

When converting RAW to Jpegs in Batch converstion, I'm getting 2 copies of everyone. Why??

When converting RAW to Jpegs in Batch converstion, I'm getting 2 copies of everything. Why??

Oops, so you did. I must have been on auto-pilot
I don't have any of those tracks in my library so I can't tell you that any of them work for me. If Genius works overall then it's probably a matter of sampling a critical mass of playlists that already contain those songs, for it then to be able to suggest suitable "mixes". I've not tried to get to grips with the mechanism behind Genius but I'd guess it works something along these lines. Your library gets inspected and some kind of summary gets uploaded to a server which integrates data from lots of users, and then gives you some back. Perhaps the process just does take time.

Convert RAW Files in Your Aperture Database to Adobe DNG Files

The following describes how to convert all the RAW images in your Aperture database from manufacturer formats, such as Sony's ARW and Canon's CR2, to Adobe's DNG while retaining all the Adjustments already applied to your RAW files. In the example below I am assuming that your Aperture Library has ARW and CR2 files. These steps work with the latest version of Aperture, being Version 3.3, and have not been tested with earlier versions (in fact, it probably will not work because the database structure changed in 3.3 - however, this means that the steps below can also be applied to your iPhoto library). The steps are:
1. Within Finder select the Aperture Library and Secondary Click to bring up the Shortcut Menu. From this select "Show Package Contents"; this will open a Window showing all the files/directories contained within your Aperture Library.
2. Drag the "Masters" folder out of the Package and place it on your Desktop. The purpose of this step is so that Applications, such as Adobe DNG Converter, can "see" the "Masters" folder, which they cannot do if it is located within the Aperture Library Package.
3. Run the Adobe DNG Converter, select the above "Masters" folder with the "Select Folder" button, make sure you have selected the option "Save in the Same Location", it is also a good idea to select the option "Skip source image if the destination already exists", check your Preferences then select the "Convert" button.
4. Adobe DNG Converter will now convert all the RAW files to Adobe DNG files and save them in the same location as your existing RAW files. Once complete, take a note of (a) the number of files converted and (b) the types of files converted, such as if the conversion includes ARW, CR2, NEF files etc. In this example I will assume that the converter only found ARW and CR2 files; if your system is different then modify the steps below to make sure it covers all the RAW file types converted in your particular system.
5. Select the "Masters" folder and in the Finder Window Search Field search for all the files that end in .ARW and .CR2 (this filename search list should match the types of files found by the Adobe DNG Converter in step (4)(b) above). The number of files returned by the search must match the number of files recorded by the Adobe DNG Converter in step (4)(a) above. Do NOT put the .DNG files in your search criteria. Select all the files found in the search and move them to the Trash. This will delete all the original manufacturer's RAW files from your Aperture Library leaving behind all the new DNG files.
6. Move the "Masters" folder on your Desktop back to the root directory of the Aperture Library Package Content directory.
7. Select the Finder Window containing the Aperture Library Package Contents.
8. If there is a file called "ApertureData.xml" then open it with a text editor. Search and Replace ".arw" with ".dng", ".ARW" with ".DNG", ".cr2" with ".dng" and ".CR2" with ".DNG" (note, do not use the " marks in your search). Make sure you cover all the file types incorporated in your particular system. Save the "ApertureData.xml" file.
9. Traverse to the Database/apdb directory. Select the "BigBlobs.apdb" file and open it with a Hex editor. In this example I will use Hex Fiend by Ridiculous Fish (see http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/). Once the file is open perform a Find and Replace ensuring you are finding and replacing Text and not Hex. In Hex Fiend this means selecting Edit/Find from the menu and then selecting the "Text" button to the top/left of the window. In your Find/Replace field you will need to find ".arw" and replace it with ".dng", make sure you select "Replace All" (note, do not use the " marks in your search). Do exactly the same for ".ARW" with ".DNG", ".cr2" with ".dng" and ".CR2" with ".DNG" (and whatever particular RAW files were in your system).
10. Perform exactly the same steps in (9) for the files "History.apdb", "ImageProxies.apdb", "Library.apdb" and "Properties.apdb".
That is it, your Aperture Library now contains DNG files instead of your original manufacturer files while still retaining all the Adjustments originally made in Aperture to those manufacturer files. Of course, you can repeat the same step and replace your DNG files with the original RAW manufacturer files if you wish. This process works because:
1. Aperture does not store the Adjustments in the RAW files, it keeps these in its internal SQLite database.
2. By using a Hex Editor you (a) don't have to play with SQLite to gain access to Aperture's data and (b) because you are replacing text that has exactly the same number of characters you are not invalidating the format of the underlying data file - this is why you use a Hex Editor instead of a simple text editor.
Think of Aperture as being a repository that holds Adjustments which then link to the original RAW source. Therefore, the above process simply replaces your RAW source and therefore all the Aperture Adjustments are still valid; same Adjustments, new source. In case you ask, no, you cannot transfer Adjustments in and out of Aperture because there is no standard to transform adjustments between different photographic applications.

A rather involved method, David.
I am sure it works, and compliments for figuring it out, but I think one critical step is missing in your workflow: Before you begin - backup, backup, backup!
And I think, all the edits in your database that you are doing so diligently, is what you bought Aperture for to do for you, why do it yourself?
I convert selected raw files this way - without manually patching the Aperture Library:
Export the originals of the raw images that I want to convert.
Run dng-converter.
Import the converted originals back, flag them, and move them to the project they came from.
Sort the project by capture date, so that identical images are show side by side.
Then I use the Lift&Stamp tool to transfer all adjustments and tags from the original raw to the dng copy. I check, if some edits are left to do, then delete the original.
It may take a little longer than your method, but this way all edits in the library are done by Aperture, and I am protected from accidental slips when editing the property list files. That requires a very careful work.
Patching the database files inside the library may be justified as a last ressort, when you need to fix and recue a broken Aperture library, and none of the provided tools is working, but not as a routine operation to do batch conversion of image files. It is very error prone. One wrong entry in the library files and your Aperture Library may be unreadable.

How to export RAW/developed jpegs to jpeg, while keeping unmodified jpegs as originals?

Hi all,
I'm new to LR and can't work out how to get the export setting working as I want. What I want to be able to do is:
1. Import a number of photos into a collection (a mix of RAW and jpeg)
2. Develop the photos that I deem necessary
3. Export the whole collection to a specific folder on my hard drive as jpeg, but for the jpegs in the collection that I have not developed, I want to keep as original
I realise I could just export the developed versions as jpegs, and then manually add the unmodified jpegs, but this seems a bit fiddly and unnecessary. Is it possible to do what I'm trying? I'm using LR 4.1.
Many thanks in advance!

I want to create a collection in LR. Then after developing certain images, I want to export the whole collection to different location on my hard drive, while converting the developed files as jpeg, but keeping the non-developed files as originals (but still exporting them to the location). So I would have my 'master' folder in which I keep all my originals, and then a separate folder just for a specific collection, all in jpeg. The reason I want a separate physical location is that I have that location set to automatically sync with cloud storage, so others can view it.
What I was hoping to see when exporting my collection as jpeg was an option for something like 'keep undeveloped jpegs as original'.
Doesn't look l;ike I can do exactly what I want to. I'll find a way I can work with.
thanks for all your help!

Possible to convert Raw to JPEG without exporting and importing?

I have about 4,500 raw photos that I need to print on contact sheets (or print contact sheets to a PDF). I took the photos all in Raw format. Aperture, or my computer, is not powerful enough to process all of these photos onto contact sheets from the Print Images menu item; it takes several hours. I suspect I need to convert the files to a low-quality JPEG and print the contact sheets from those, which should be fine because the thumbnails are so small.
Here's the question: I know that I can create JPEGs from these raw files by exporting as JPEG and then reimporting them into Aperture, but this seems overly complicated. Is there a way I can select a number of photos within Aperture, and then select to convert them to JPEG of a particular quality, without leaving the application? Or are the multiple steps - exporting and importing - necessary?
Next time I'm shooting Raw+JPEG to avoid this, by the way...

So my workaround actually worked. I exported the photos as low-quality JPEGs, reimported them into a new project, and processed a Contact Sheet off of those. To process a Contact Sheet with the raw files would have taken Aperture about 12 hours or so. To process a Contact Sheet using the low-quality JPEGs took about 10 minutes. I'm glad this worked, though I wish there were a way in Aperture to create JPEGs from the raw files without leaving the application.

How to convert raw to number in oracle 8

Does anyone know how to convert a raw data to number format ???
If i do: select dump(50,16) from dual, it will return bytes c1 33.
With this bytes in a raw variable, how can i convert it to a number variable in Oracle 8.
PS: Oracle 8 doesn't have utl_raw.cast_to_number function...
Thanx.

Thanx for help... But...
This examples are very usefull, but only converts a value in HEX to number.
In my case, i need a routine that convert the bytes of value 50 (i.e. 2 bytes -> C1 33) into a number variable. If i only use hex to number, will return wrong value. I need to convert this bytes (C1 33) into original number, i mean, value 50.
Using dump function for 50, will return C1 33...
How can i make to convert C1 33 back to value 50??
I think that is the same of the utl_raw.cast_to_number, but i'm using Oracle 8, and this function is in Oracle 9...
Anyone have idea ??

How to convert RAW images to JPG in Imagebrowser EX 1.4.0.5

There is only Correct red-eye, auto correct, adjust color and brightness, increase sharpness, crop imae, insert text, edit movies and extract multiple images from movie
Help?

You need to install Canon Digital Photo Professional from the camera-supplied CD.

Converting RAW to JPEG without exporting

Hi all
I mostly shoot in RAW to gain the extra flexibility this offers during post.
Once I have finished editing the RAW images in LR3, I would like to convert them to JPEG to save disk space. Is there an easy way of doing this? I currently export the JPEGs, delete the RAW images, then re-importing the JPEGs into Lightroom.
Many thanks

Hi gib1983,
I can only second what dj_paige advised !
There are opportunities when you scout your images for entirely different purposes: my most sad recent example is a good friend, died suddenly. Among our last meetings was the wedding of mutual friends, for whom I had prepared a photo book. When you deliver such to a happy couple you look for different things than when you try to find the pictures you have of your deceased friend - trying to compile something to help his parents and sisters a tiny bit. Scouting the "raw material" was a real source, especially for different crops using virtual copies.
I find that I rarely use jpgs now, apart from temporarily while creating photo books.
Even printing is convenient out of LR directly from the raws. Or use the print module to "print to jpg", but this time with a template that includes a caption for each image, leveraging what you entered as meta data. In former times I had done prints and hand-written such caption-info on the back - the typical content of the *shoe box archives*...
My friends also appreciate a pdf-format from slideshow to share images with them for viewing on screen - again captions included.
But full-sized jpgs is the rarest use case for me now. I just get them when scanning shoe-box-content for real archiving, but I would never do with them for my own shots.
BTW I convert my proprietary raw-formats (NEF, CR2) to DNG and embed xmp-data and LR previews into them - to be on the safe side for future compatibility.
