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!

    no phone was connected to my pc,  the problem is when i run up lightroom, sometimes i can use it then it may suddenly crash the computer switching off completley, other times it says lightroom has a problem and needs too shut down the bout info is what is shown as the problem. hope this helps.

    I know this is an old thread, but I have the same problem and am hoping perhaps to get some new feedback.  I also have used all the same settings,
    the best quality settings that I can do on export, but the quality I get when I convert to JPG is very poor. I do save at 100% because I want to send some of my images to stock agencies that want JPGs but at the very best possible quality.  I have experimented in changing the resolution to 300, resizing to 18MP (which is the native size from my camera (Canon 7D), leaving the resizing box unchecked, and tried all all levels and types of sharpening, and none of these settings makes any improvement.  I honestly do not think this is an issue of color calibration.  The images that I get when I convert from RAW to JPG are are very poor quality, but not so much noise as they appear pixelated.  I am going to try to attach a screen capture of a RAW image and a JPG that has been converted.  Realize there is a bit of loss of quality in both of these images as they were done by the print screen function, then saved as BMP and then JPG..But doing it this way actually produced a much better quality image than exporting the RAW file to JPG in LR3. Both of these images were saved at 100%
    The image at the top is a small segment of the RAW capture at 100% and the bottom one is a segment of the same area of the exported JPG at 100% Note the writing and how it is very pixelated. I think you would agree that it is quite a deterioration in quality.  Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Exporting RAW into JPEG, color differences

    I've done a lot of searching in these forums and I can't find a solution to my problem. I just spent 30+ hours editing a set of 123 wedding photos in RAW file format. When I export to JPEG, the colors change on just about every photo. I understand that if I would have correctly set up the camer calibration prior to editing, this would have possibly solved my problem. However, the photos are already edited. When I export the files in TIFF, they look fine. It's just the JPEG file format that changes the look of my images.  I'm using Lightroom 2.3. My last brainstorm involved importing the already edited TIFF files and then trying to export those into JPEG, the color format was still off. Can anyone Help?

    What program do you use to look at the jpegs?
    Is your screen calibrated?
    What OS are you using?
    There is a free upgrade available for you to the latest LR2 version 2.7. Win and Mac

  • Exporting RAW to JPEG and TIFF

    Evaluating LE to hopefully improve some workflow. I noticed however, that when export to a JPEG or TIFF format the file size seems much smaller that I'm accustomed. A D100 9.5MB RAW file converts to appx 2.7Mb JPEG at 100% and appx 7MB in TIFF. Currently when I convert I get a 17-20MB JPEG. I'm I missing something in the setup or is this the larger file size LE produces.

    Excuse me Lightroom. I currently use Portfolio 8 to review and tagged a large number of images for production. They have a conversion process that allows you to convert a NEF file to JPEG or TIFF. When converting to from a NEF file that is appx 9.5MB in size to a JPEG at 100% @300DPI which is what my clients require, it produces a a JPEG file that ranges from 17-23MB depending the amount of information. But I still have to pull that image into editing SW to do some cleanup or slight exposure adjustments. It was my hopes that by using Lightroom, I could slimline a couple of these processes. But if LR only provides a exported JPEG file size of what I've seen thus far, then I would unable to accomplish this.
    Is this better clarification of my question?

  • 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.

  • Exporting RAW to jpeg and keeping the develop changes?

    Hi.  I have my RAW files and catalogs safely backed up on external drives. Now I want to export some files to DVD's.  I want these to be hi res jpegs with all the develop changes I made to them in LR, in case I ever want to go back and work on them again.  I've done some tests and when I look at these exported photos in LR I see the photo as it was when I finished developing it but with none of my develop settings.  How can I do this?  Thanks

    I understand the need for redundant raw files and catalogs, that's why I have 3 copies on various drives at home.  I'm looking for off site storage (and I hate monthly fees to store them in the cloud) so I thought I'd put them on DVDs and store them at work.  These are copies I hope I never have to use but if I do I'd like the originals and all my edits.  I was hoping to use jpegs to save a little space.
    JimHess says I can't do it and 99jon I tried your method but I must be doing something wrong because it didn't  work.  If you all tell me I should just use my OS to copy the original RAW files and the catalog to DVD (that how I backup to internal and external drives now),  I'll do that, I was just looking for a way to do it in LR.

  • How to export raw pictures to jpeg without losing the original colors?

    Hello guys,
    Actually I'm facing a problem
    which is I took photos in Raw Format
    but unfortunately when I import it to LR
    it lose its colors
    and here is a video for my problem
    LR's problem - YouTube
    And now I want a solution
    so I can convert it to jpeg
    without losing its original colors.
    Thank you all in advance

    You ask a variation of the age-old question:  “Why did LR ruin my photos?”  It’s because the initial view is what your camera does for its JPG preview that is embedded in each raw photo based on your camera’s settings and the LR interpretation that loads after a second or two, is the raw data interpreted with the Adobe defaults.
    I would guess that your camera is “fixing” the shots somehow, and LR, not knowing what your camera is doing, is just rendering the shots from the raw data as it exists without fixing anything.
    Do you know if the camera was in some special mode that fixes things automatically before creating the JPG?

  • Exporting RAW to JPEG, losing EXIF data

    Hi,
    When I am exporting a RAW image from Aperture to a JPEG image I'm losing metadata. Specifically: Lens, Serial #, Flash exposure and focus data. I always select 100% JPEG with the "include metadata" checked.

  • How to change RAW to JPEG without editing

    Normally, when I import RAW files into iphoto, edit them, and click Done, iphoto will convert those RAW files to JPEG.
    The problem is printer cannot print RAW files, but it can print files in JPEG format.
    However, there are many times that I don't want to edit my RAW files, but I want them to be JPEG so that I can make a card, calendar, or album (in iphoto) and print it.
    I have tried to click Done without editing images, but it failed to convert to JPEG.
    Please help.

    Guys,
    I find the same issue to be true. Any image that was rotated by iPhoto (even though the 20d settings tell it to auto-rotate), iPhoto considers this image edited, and therefore will have created a jpg copy. Now my issue is not how to retain the raw image, but I export mass amounts of photos to batch directories where I watermark and put on my website. I would like to actually just be able to drag my images to a desktop folder and deal with them as jpgs. Problem is, only the ones which were rotated are considered jpgs since they've been modified. I found if I select all the landscape images, rotate them and then rotate back, then I'm good. But I would rather not have to do that. Any ideas how I can just copy a bunch of images without having to trick iPhoto, and have them end up as jpgs???

  • How to import RAW and JPEG, but see only one image?

    This is driving me crazy.
    I shoot sometimes RAW and sometimes JPEG on the same memory card. So some pictures have only a JPEG file, others (the ones I shot in RAW) have a RAW+JPEG pair (or at least, Aperture sees it that way when displaying the content of the memory card).
    What I want:
    - import only once
    - for JPEG files, JPEG is imported as master
    - for RAW files, RAW only is imported as master
    There seems to be no combination of the import settings that lets me do this?!?!?!?
    If, under the "RAW+JPEG Pairs" settings I select "RAW files only", all JPEG files DISAPPEAR from the import list. WHY? This setting should be for "RAW+JPEG Pairs" only, it should not affect images that only have a JPEG file. I want to import JPEG files as well, so I select "Both (RAW as master)". Now, in the imported project there are TWO images to deal with, which is not what I want.
    Even if I were to import twice, how can I exclude the duplicates?

    Please ignore my post. Aperture behaves correctly. I got confused because many pics look alike, but aren't really the same pic. Sorry for the confusion.

  • How to separate RAW and JPEG files from shoot?

    I'm a beginner at processing RAW files and would appreciate some help. I have concerns about moving files around in Lightroom and misplacing them.  My question is:
    I have imported 100 or so photos of a portrait session into Lightroom 4. Shot NEF + JPG on the card. i now have 50 pics of each file type - NEF and jpeg alternate. How best to separate file types, as a group say, in LR for best workflow post processing? I plan to work on Jpegs first and leave RAW files until later when I get some 'learning' time. Thanks.

    Hi Jake.
    This should be easy - make Smart collections - one with JPEG as filetype and one for RAW as inclusion criteria.
    Be sure to rename the Smart collection something helpful like JPEG or RAW as the case may be.

  • Export RAW to JPEG too SMALL?

    When I export a 9.5mb RAW/NEf file to jpeg, (100% quality, 240 ppi, default, original size), the jpeg file size is around 2-3mb.
    If I convert the RAW/NEF file in the Nikon Editor, the jpeg version is around 6-7mb...much better.
    I can't give my clients jpegs burned onto a DVD that are only 2-3mb?? Especially if they want good 8x10's, or 11x14's!! Not very professional.
    Is it compressing it more than Nikon Editor, or am I missing something?

    You should look at the files, not at their sizes. You cannot judge quality from filesize. There is no reason you couldn't get an outstanding 12x18 from a 2 MB jpeg file. Often the only thing bigger files do is take up more space.
    >Is it compressing it more than Nikon Editor, or am I missing something?
    You might be scaling by accident, but usually the image is just not very complex. The filesize you get in jpeg is related to complexity of the image. If you have large areas of solid color, the filesize will turn out small. If you have lots of noise and lots of complex shapes (like a grass field for example) you will get large files.

  • How to disassociate RAW and JPEG

    I've RAW & JPEG files of same picture. If I move RAW to a different folder in Bridge JPEG file moves too. How to stop it?

    IrinaG,
    My test shows the same pattern.  If you want them to move seperatly make name of jpg and raw different.  I even nuked the XMP file but that did not make any difference.

  • How to export rating with jpeg?

    I would like to export my version as jpegs, with EXIF and IPTC data. No problem. I would also like the ratings to be exported with the picture. Maybe it is, but I cannot find it. Any idea if the rating is exported, and if it is, where?

    Allan, if you are exporting the jpegs using the Mail Export Presets make sure that the preferences are set correctly. Open Aperture's preferences, Command + , (comma) and select Edit Mail Export Presets and check Include Metadata.
    Use the Query HUD to place the metadata you want baked into the image file. Command f
    Click the plus sign at the upper right and choose Rating and set the ratings you want.

  • Exporting raw to jpegs

    I have a few hundred images that I shot in Camera Raw, that I've modified and corrected in Bridge (CS3) & Photoshop (CS3). I now have a need to export them to JPG, and each way that I've tried has resulted in images that look nothing like what I see in Bridge.
    1) I first tried exporting them with a batch file that I created (saves as jpg @ quality 12). This results in my images having a very yellow tint, compared to with the originals in Bridge.
    2) Used the Image Processor under (Tools -> Photoshop). This resulted in very washed out images by comparisom.
    Any help/suggestions would be great!
