How to hide raw files

Hi All,
I have a Nikon D70s and shoot in both raw and jpg. When I upload to iPhoto 08, it uploads both .nef and .jpg files, which is fine, and then displays both photos. I want to be able to hide the .nef files until I need them. Is there a global setting that will automatically hide .nef files?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is no universal setting to hide any kind of file. But you could create a smart album based on the criteria Photo is RAW. It will display all of the raw photos in the library and make it easy to hide them en mass.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    Hi Have tried to do that but get a box with message along top "The file aready exists in the catalog"  it is also showing the incorrect file path and saying not connected to the path I have found the photo in.  The only differenct is that elements it saying it is in E drive and I have it in C drive the rest of the path is the same.
    The photos have imported into the my folders but I can't open any, every one i've tried to open brings up the box "searching for missing file" There are no photos in E drive the path it is saying doesn't exist all photos are in c drive, very very frustrating

  • How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

    how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

    Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version).  You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image.  You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export).  Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets.  You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
    The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command.  It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to delete raw files while keeping original jpgs/later versions?

    I'm using Aperture currently, which apparently can't do this -- if Lightroom can, I'm switching.
    What I'd like to do is shoot everything in raw + jpg (using Nikon D200), and then keep the raw files only for the important shots.
    I really like having the option of raw processing, but the storage demands are obviously very big. If I could just make a selection of multiple photos, and have a command to delete all the raw files from the selected photos, while keeping the original jpgs, that would be great.
    Also, it would be great to be able to manipulate a raw file, and then when I'm satisfied with the image, to generate a full-size jpg & ditch the raw file. The jpg then becomes the master for that image.
    Basically, I want the raw file safety net for everyday images, without gobbling up gigabytes of disk space every time...
    Can Lightroom do this?

    I am unable to hide RAW files in Bridge.
    And I can't delete or rename them in Windows Explorer.
    I'm using XP SP3. 
    Rejected RAW files appear in Bridge as unlabeled files. They are not hidden. "Show Hidden Files" is not checked; "Show Reject Files" is NOT checked. I've got the Label settings on. I created a subfolder and moved a batch of rejected RAWs there. They still show up, but at least they're labeled "Rejected."
    Delete: I have a big sort to do, and I'd even be willing to delete these RAW files to avoid seeing them in Bridge.
    I tried deleting them in Bridge using several methods, but I get an error message that tells me I don't have the "sufficient permissions." This happens even when I try to delete just one file. 
    I also tried deleting them in Windows Explorer. There, I got an error message that theyare in use by another program. I cannot re-name them in Explorer either. I got the same error message even when I shut down my computer and opened ONLY Windows Explorer. In Properties > File Attributes, neither Hidden or Read-Only are checked.
    This is a big and important project, and I'm TOTALLY STUMPED! 

  • How to open .raw files in Lightroom?

    Hi
    One of my clients sent me .raw-files to use them for a flyer design.
    Since I have my own Nikon D90, which has no problems taking pictures in RAW and converting them to .NEF in Photoshop Lightroom, I thought it would be as easy as that to do this with the .raw files but it isn't.
    Since they were sent via WeTransfer, I am wondering how I can open them in Photoshop or Lightroom?
    Thanks
    Bob

    I wish I could but even Adobe DNG Converter doesn't seem to be able to fix it... :@
    I sent my client an email to ask him for the photographer's contact information, and I'll see if he can sent me the .DNG files...
    Other options if he can't send the .DNG?

  • How to open RAW files in 16 bit mode?

    In Photoshop CS3 all my RAW files opened in 16 bit mode. In CS5 they all open in 8-bit mode. I've looked all over for where this setting might be made but I can't find it. How do I tell Photoshop or Camera Raw to open images in 16 bit mode?

    That does it. Thanks!
    I may have missed it in the Help files, but I sure couldn't find it. Help tells me all about why I want to use 16 bits, but not how to get them.

  • PSE11: How to import Raw files from Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera? [was: Dear Sir,]

    I have just purchased a Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera. I have Photoshop Elements 11 and I cannot import Raw files. How do I download the latest version of Camera Raw into Elements 11?

    With Elements 11 you cannot.
    The SX60 HS was first supported in  Camera Raw 8.7 which is only compatible with Elements 13 and later.
    Options:
    Pay to upgrade to Elements 13
    Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all SX60 HS Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Elements 11

  • How to convert RAW files that saved in UCCX server to wav file?

    Hi all,
    How we can covert the RAW files that are saved in UCCX server to wav file by using command prompt in UCCX servers. Or is there some other way? So that we should be able to hear the sound of these files.

    Hi,
    I use Switch File Audio Convertor from NCH Software to do this.
    It is a commercial product but there is a time limited evaluation and if you decide to keep it it is only $30.

  • How to Hide "Hidden Files"??

    This is a question that has stumped AppleCare when I called them last week, and the "Geniuses" at my local AppleStore yesterday....So, throwing it out here. On upgrading my new 17" MBP last week to Snow Leopard I discovered the Finder was showing a lot of System files that normally are "hidden". IE: bin, cores, etc, mack kernal, tmp, usr, var. The regular way of dealing with these files is to make them "hidden" with a Terminal command, but that didn't work. I reinstalled Snow Leopard twice, that didn't work, the Genuis applied a Widget to hide the files, that didn't work either. Somehow the Snow Leopard installation has labelled these files as visible and will not allow Terminal to re-label them so that they go back to their proper "hidden" state.
    I cannot with Snow Leopard find a way to "Archive and Reinstall" so that I could sort of shove aside the troubled system and put another clean one in place like we could with Leopard and previous OSX installations. So does anyone have any ideas what may have happened here and how I can address it without the painful solution of wiping the HD and reinstalling and re-registering everything like Photoshop, FCP, Lightroom, Aperture and a host of other software? Something I am trying to avoid. Thanks............

  • 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 merge RAW files into iPhoto Library?

    Hi,
    I have several (Aperture-) modified photos in iPhoto. When I click on any one of those photos in iPhoto (9.5.1) and then click on File -> Reveal in Finder -> Modified File – it reveals the location of a jpg-file inside my iPhoto Library. So far, so good.
    However, when I choose File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original File it takes me to an external folder (located in my Home Picture library) and reveals the original RAW-file. I don't know why they are in a folder outside the iPhoto library but I suppose it has something to do with me editing them outside of iPhoto. And this is not a library but just a regular folder containing RAW-files.
    How can I merge all my RAW-files so that they are, neat and tidy, all inside my iPhoto library?

    However, when I choose File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original File it takes me to an external folder (located in my Home Picture library) and reveals the original RAW-file.
    You can use Aperture to move the raw originals back into the iPhoto/Aperture library, if your iPhoto and Aperture versions are still compatible.
    Open your library in Aperture and select all photos with raw originals in the Browser and use the command "File > Consolidate Originals".
    You will be prompted, if you want to move the files or to copy them. Select "Move files".
    The reason they originals are outside the library is probably caused by the way you imported them. Check your import settings in Aperture.
    In the Import panel the option "Store files" should be set to "In the Aperture Library".
    And in iPhoto the "Advanced" preference for importing should be "Copy items to the iPhoto Library"
