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

  • After importing my JPEGs, the matching RAW-Files aren't found! Why?

    I shot JPEG+RAW-Couples with my Canon EOS 450D (aka Rebel XSi) and imported the JPEGs into Aperture 3.1.3. When I wanted to import the matching RAW-Files later, Aperture didn't recognize one of them. I didn't change anything at the files. Importing both as a couple works without any problems.
    What's the mistake? Can I fix it or is it a bug?
    Thanks in advance!

    Users have reported problems with Aperture when Projects hold too many Images.  How many is "too many"?  No one knows -- I keep all projects under 1,000 Images, and even then very rarely go over 500.
    Projects should be subsets of your Library.
    Aperture was designed around the general topology of "one Project per shoot".  From the User Manual:
    "Projects: The basic containers used in Aperture to organize images by shoot."
    I have found that sticking to this topology seems to keep gremlins at bay.

  • Importing Jpegs Paired with RAW files.

    I'm shooting RAW/JPEG with an S95, that is, each shot creates separate RAW and JPEG files.  The RAWs of course don't import, but I'd like to import the JPEGs.  Unfortunately, the JPEGs won't appear in the Import dialog.  Thus, there seems to be no way to import these files even though they exist as distinct files.
    I've got LR 3.2.  How can I bring these files into Lightroom?
    Thank you,

    Nevermind -- I figured it out.

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

  • What happens to Raw files when importing Raw+JPG from camera to Lightroom Mobile on iPad? Only JPGs are showing up.

    Hey I am Brian, and I was wondering how Lightroom mobile works again as in when importing photos directly into iPad using the camera connection kit.? This is for IPad 2.  I . Like when importing raw files. now I just did a photo shoot. and I just uploaded them into lightroom 5 on desktop. the raw files are being pushed as smart priviews acroos ipad and iphone. its kinda cool seeing cr2 file showing up on lightroom mobile. when its coming from lightroom 5. but what about coming from camera to ipad.?
    I thought you can import a Raw plus jpeg into ipad and it shows up as a jpeg plus raw file. well its not doing that. shows up as just jpeg.
    cant wait for next update  of lighroom mobile.

    With this version of LR Mobile we not support the direct RAW import.

  • Aperture Exporting JPEG's from RAW: file size and quality questions?

    Hey Everyone,
    So, I'm using Aperture 2 and I've got some questions about exporting from RAW to JPEG. I shoot with a Nikon D70 so original RAW files are 5-6mb in size. After doing some basic post processing when I export the pics at "full size" with picture quality of 11 out of 12 then the resulting JPEG is about half the file size of the original RAW file. For example a 5.6mb RAW becomes a 2.6mb JPEG. The resolution in pixels per inch and and the overall image size remain unchanged. Have I lost picture quality due to the exporting JPEG being smaller in file size?
    My friend who works with me prefers to edit in Photoshop and when he follows the same workflow his saved JPEG from the identical RAW file in Photoshop is minimally smaller in file size, say 5.6mb to 5.3mb. He's telling me that my Aperture edited photos are losing quality and resolution.
    Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size? I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
    I've bee told that Aperture has a better compression engine and that the resulting files are of the exact same quality because the PPI and image size are the same. Is that what explains the much smaller file sizes in Aperture?
    I tried changing the picture quality in the export menu to 12 out of 12, but the resulting JPEG then becomes larger than the original RAW at over 7mbs.
    Can someone please help me understand this better? I don't want to lose picture quality if that is indeed what is happening.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    JPEG is a "lossy" file compression algorithm. Whether Aperture or PS, *every time a JPEG is saved some loss occurs*, albeit minimal at the 11 or 12 level of save, huge losses at low save levels. Some images (sky, straight diagonal lines, etc.) are more vulnerable to showing visible jpeg artifacts.
    My friend who works with me prefers to edit in Photoshop and when he follows the same workflow his saved JPEG from the identical RAW file in Photoshop is minimally smaller in file size, say 5.6mb to 5.3mb. He's telling me that my Aperture edited photos are losing quality and resolution.
    *Both of you are losing image data when you save to jpeg.* IMO the differences between the apps is probably just how the apps work rather than actually losing significantly more data. The real image data loss is in using JPEG at all!
    Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size?
    I doubt it.
    I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
    The issue here is not how many pixels (because you are not varying that) but how much data each pixel contains. In this case once you avoid lossy JPEG the quality mostly has to do with different RAW conversion algorithms. Apple and Adobe both guess what Nikon is up to with the proprietary RAW NEF files and the results are different from ACR to Apple to Nikon. For my D2x pix I like Nikon's conversions the best (but Nikon software is hard to use), Aperture second and Adobe ACR (what Photoshop/Bridge uses) third. I 98% use Aperture.
    I tried changing the picture quality in the export menu to 12 out of 12, but the resulting JPEG then becomes larger than the original RAW at over 7mbs. Can someone please help me understand this better? I don't want to lose picture quality if that is indeed what is happening.
    JPEG is a useful format but lossy. Only use it as a _last step_ when you must save files size for some reason and are willing to accept the by-definition loss of image data to obtain smaller files (such as for web work or other on-screen viewing). Otherwise (especially for printing) save as TIFF or PSD which are non-lossy file types, but larger.
    As to the Aperture vs. ACR argument, RAW-convert the same original both ways, save as TIFF and see if your eyes/brain significantly prefer one over the other. Nikon, Canon etc. keep proprietary original image capture data algorithms secret and each individual camera's RAW conversion is different.

  • Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import

    Has anyone experienced Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import?

    How do you know they aren’t corrupted before you import, or the old one wasn’t already corrupted and you just regenerated the preview and could then see the corruption where what you saw, before was from the preview cache and not the current image?
    Is the corruption a problem with the Previews or does LR actually choke on the file and say it is unreadable or show you a gray thumbnail or pixilation starts halfway down the photo.
    Can you prove the files were intact coming off the card and only are corrupted after importing into LR?  Can you get to the originals on the card, still?

  • 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!
    Gary.

    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.
    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...
    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.
    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.

  • When I import TIF and JPG files with same metadata, only the TIF files are imported. How can I change that?

    I have imported and renamed TIF and JPG files with the same metadata re recording date and time. Only the TIF files are imported, the JPG files remain unimproved. Thus I have in the Finder e. g. 13 image files in the same folder in which Lightroom only finds 10 files. Any ideas for resolution welcome!
    Thanks

    Turn off the option Preferences > General > Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos.  Then do an import again.  It appears that, in this instance, LR considers a TIFF to be a "raw" file.

  • Canon 5D Mark 2  Raw Files wont import.

    My Friend has a Canon 5d Mark 2 and the files will not import. it says it's an unrecognized format.
    now when I shoot with my Canon rebel Xti in raw it will import them. does anybody know if apple will support the canon 5d mark 2 raw files in iPhoto? Or is there something i did not check in prefs to help import?

    Hi. I've got a slightly different problem. I've just upgraded from Canon 20D to 5D and although the RAW files and JPEGs DO both import, the RAW files are no longer labelled 'CR' with the image number. There's just an image number, which duplicates the JPEG file number alongside. I've tried to find a setting in iPhoto9 prefs and also on the camera to add the CR suffix, but have not resolved this. I would like the RAWs to import with the CR tag, as with the 20D. Am I missing something...?!

  • Lightroom ignores some RAW files on import

    I know that variations of this have been discussed in a number of threads, but here is one more scenario:
    In a folder I have several RAW files. In the same folder I also have some PSD versions of the same photos (these have been converted from the corresponding RAW files with ACR, enhanced further in Photoshop and then saved back as PSD files, all this before I started using Lightroom). The RAW and PSD versions have the same name except for the extension (in this case .CR2 and .PSD).
    When importing from a folder with such a mix of RAW and PSD files, Lightroom always ignores the RAW version of a RAW/PSD pair (the PSD version is imported, the RAW version is not, I can see this is happing already in the Import Preview)! This seems to happen regardless if the state of the "Ignore Suspected Duplicates" flag.
    After a (partial) import like this, if I try to import only the missing RAW file(s), Lightroom tells me that "The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the library...". The list of files shows that Lightroom is actually trying to reimport the Photoshop (PSD) files even if I this time actually selected only the missing RAW (CR2) files!
    I guess this must be an error of some sorts?
    Jørgen Johanson

    This is a well-known and discussed problem: if you have RAW plus PSD only the PSD will be imported. A workaround is to move the files that didn't import into a separate folder and import from there.
