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.

Import RAW and jpeg

If I try to import both RAW and JPEG from the same folder or from the same card LR only imports the RAW files. I usually shoot RAW and JPEG simutaneously so they both have the same filename but different file types. Photshop handles this OK so whats going on?

It would probably have been better to start a new thread, rather than attaching your new question on the end of a 3 year-old thread, but anyway, by JEP do you mean JPG? Where are you seeing JEP/JPG? The RAW files from your camera won't say .RAW as the extension, but .CRW or .CR2 if Canon RAW and .NEF if Nikon RAW, and perhaps some other extension for a different manufacturer.
As far as shot-specific information: shutter-speed, aperture, ISO and focal-length are shown several different places such as under the histogram, in the metadata panel in Library mode, and in the Info Overlay in Loupe view in Library and Develop modes. You can define what specific things you want to display in the limited area using View / View Options. You can use the I key to cycle between nothing, Loupe Info 1 and Loupe Info 2.
For learning photography, shutter, aperture, ISO and focal-length are mostly what you'd need, along with white-balance color-temperature which is visible in Develop mode. Some camera-manufacturer-specific programs can also show things like which focus-points were enabled, but Lightroom works with many, many cameras from various manufacturers and things like focus-points are recorded differently from each manufacturer so LR doesn't attempt to decode and show such less-standardized information.
If you really want to see ALL the information encoded in an image--the EXIF data, then download EXIFtool and drag-and-drop an image to the EXE that has (-k) in the name and you'll see a very long list of information, most of it irrelevant to general photography and, again, different for different cameras, where LR is trying to show things that are common to all cameras.

Importing raw and jpeg pictures in elements 11

Question on photoshop Elements 11? I shoot in raw and jpeg format. I rename photos of the days shoot with that days date for all photos. This creates renamed files with the same date and the numbers in sequence in paranthesis. Example 1130-2013 (1), 1130-2013 (2) etc. The photos have the same name for the raw as well as the jpeg file. However, when I import these photos into elements 11 the raw files do not have the same image as its corresponding jpeg file ( but both use the same file name example ( 1130-2013 (1) for the jpeg and 1130-2013 (1) for the raw file --but the pictures are not the same. Help me find out what is wrong me or the program??

I needed to test, as I almost never shoot in anything but RAW. When shot a couple of photos with my D300 in RAW+JPEG, and imported with a setting of Both (Separate Masters), the JPEG is on the left and the RAW on the right. Please review your settings in this regard, particularly in view of your other topic about not recognizing duplicates, as that makes be wonder if these two observations are related?

Importing RAW and JPEG

Hello,
I shoot RAW and JPEG at the same time. Previously when I have imported the files using import "both with separate masters" the JPEG file would be on the left and the RAW file would be on the right, so when I stacked the photos and closed the stacks the JPEG would be visible and the RAW file would be stacked underneath.
Recently my imports have been the other way around with the RAW file on the left and the JPEG on the right. I understand I can promote and demote photos in a stack but this takes a long time with lots of photos imported at once.
Is there a way to have the JPEG file placed to the left of the RAW file during importing?
I have imported before using the same camera with JPEG on the left.
I hope this is clear.
Regards
Jayto.

Importing Raw and Jpeg file formats to Mac Pro

Since migrating to Photos from iPhotos when importing photos only Jpegs seem to get imported, not Raw files when shot in both formats on my NikonD5300. Does anyone know how i can import the two file formats simultaneously? (I have double checked the settings on my camera!)
Thanks Louise

Photos will import both the RAW and the JPEG, but stack them and use only one of them as the original file.
You will see badge overlays "J" or "R", indicating if the RAW or the JPEG is currently uses as the original file to render edits.
Open the photo in "EDIT" mode, then you will be able to switch to the "RAW" version as the original file, in the "Image" menu. The options "Use RAW as original" or "Use JPEG as original" are only available in Edit mode, also "Reprocess RAW"

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.

Iphoto 11-File import RAW and JPEG

iPhoto 11, Snow Leopard 10.6.7 RAW supported and Sony DSLR A300 supported...
My question is simple: I understand (i think) that when I import pictures into iPhoto that they will be converted to JPEG. I have a number of JPEG files. But if I shoot something in RAW (.arw) and import it, does iPhoto 11 import the RAW image AND make a JPEG or does it just take the RAW photo and NOT convert to JPEG?
Cheers-
Kelly

Greetings Kelly,
Read this help menu item from iPhoto for "RAW" as it may help shed some light: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
iPhoto imports RAW files from compatible cameras and stores the RAW files in it's library.
It creates JPEG refrence files for viewing on screen to speed up performance which is also stored in the library.
If you edit an image, the edits are made on a JPEG copy that iPhoto creates (you can also have it save them as .tiff which is mentioned in the link above) and stores it in it's library.
Cheers.

Importing Raw and JPEG from Canon 5D

My Canon 5D is set to save images as large JPEGs and Raw files. Aperture will only show thumbnails of, and import only the RAWs. Is this normal? I don't see a preference selection to allow importing all images.
Bob

I too, was experiencing this and asked this very question here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=380111&tstart=0
and got the answer I was looking for. I am sure this will help you !!!!

How can I 'cut and paste' a part of one image to another?

I have this program the creates great syfi looking planets and some other cool stuff. I creates them
on a solid black background. I'm hoping there is a way to cut out just that planet and paste it onto
the sky of another picture. I don't want the black background just the planet. I can go in and make
the edges look nice after it's done. But I don't know how to do it :-(
Thank You.

1. use the selection tool(s) of your choice to select the planet. It helps to give the selection a one or two pixel feather to avoid a cutout look (Select>Feather).
2. Copy it (ctrl+C in windows, command+C on a mac)
3. Paste it (ctrl+v in windows, command+v on a mac)
You will get better results if both images have the same ppi before you start (image>resize>image size. If you need to make a change for one image, make sure Resample Image is OFF.) You can use the Move tool to arrange/resize the object once it's in the destination photo.

Import raw and JPEG and switch between them

Some background. The Epson R-D1 (and R-D1s) when set to B&W and asked to record raw + JPGs renders the JPG in B&W and leaves the raw alone. It also shows you the images in B&W on its LCD. This is great because, if you don't want to, you never have to see the images in colour.
When importing the images into Lightroom 2.0, the help has this to say: "To import duplicate JPEG files and raw files separately, select the Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos option. Deselect this option to import only a single file." So does that mean that you can only have the raw images, which are shown in colour, or both images individually? It would be great if Lightroom knew that the two files represented the same image and let you pick which to work with, but I can't tell whether this is currently possible.
Thanks!

Thanks--the stacking approach seems to mostly work OK; not sure why I didn't think of it. IA problem though is that setting the slider for the time between shots to zero doesn't actually group shots having the same capture time--it seems to group nothing! Kind of pointless. You thus have to set the minimum time to 1s, which can put too many photos in a stack if you've been blazing away. I think I'd consider this a bug.

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.

Importing Raw and Jpeg copies

I've been trying to import my raw images along with the jpeg copies and when i select the images and import it only seems to import the nefs. If i select only the nef and or jpegs they will import. Is there a setting that i should change so that LR imports both?
Owen

This is the way Lr works. It treats the Jpgs as the Preview images.

Importing Raw and Jpeg from Leica D-Lux 4

Hi All,
If Apple ever address the D-Lux 4 issue then I will be a happy man. However, for the meantime i need to find a work around solution for importing my images into Aperture. I shoot Dynamic B&W Jpeg with Raw back-up for archive and (hopefully) later editing. The issue I have at the moment is that Aperture is only showing the preview of the Raw file and not the Jpeg aswell, thus I have to drag the images from the card as a batch of jpegs and then again a batch of Raw files separately into the project that I have created. Does anyone know the reason for this and if there is a more elegant solution?
Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
I don't have an answer for you except to say I am a fellow sufferer...same problem here.
The D-LUX 4 has become my personal favorite camera, and is with me at all times. I am really sad that Aperture has not supported this great tool. I use it more than any of my pro cameras, because it is convenient, and great quality.
I use it professionally to scout shooting locations, and in a 24 page brochure that we did last month 2 of the images came from the D-LUX 4....amazing given the rest of the 48 images came from Nikon D3s or my P45+ back on a Hasselblad.
Apple please support the Leica D-LUX 4...it seem everyone else is, even shareware.

On my home page my icon suddenly got large and I can see only one item at a time. How can I get the icon down to a normal small size?

On my home page under view my icons suddenly go large and one folder fills the page. How do I get it back to a normal size?

Viewing both RAW and JPEG files in iPhoto (or somehow on a Mini)

I'll be traveling later this year and I'm looking to get a tablet so I can view and do some light editing of my images while I'm on the road.
If I use the new Apple SD card reader to download image files from my camera to the iPod Minin, it is my understanding that by default it brings over both the RAW and JPEG versions of the same images (my camera is taking both types with each image).
Will these then show up as two separate images in iPhoto? The reason I'm asking is because if I have to bring over the RAW files, I want some way of then deleting them off my iPad because they take up to much HD space.
No one I've talked to at Apple seems to know if there's a way to bring over just the JPEG files I want when using the SD card reader, which seems like a huge oversight in functionality to me.
Thanks. David

Leonie, you have pretty much confirmed what I found out as well.
When using the Apple SD card reader there is no way to only import JPEG files when there are corresponding RAW files on the card. The iOS or photo import app treats them as one image and imports both files together, regardless of the fact that most apps will not read or edit the RAW files and also that they take up a huge amount of space.
I've only found one way of getting rid of the Raw files, but still 'keeping' the Jpegs: import them all to the iPad, then edit the images in an app like Snapseed, then do a 'save as' (which Snapseed does by default) so you've created new Jpeg files; you can then go back and delete the originals.
That seems like a whole lot of work to get around the iPad's lack of functionality, and because of this I'm looking at an Asus Nexus 7 tablet instead. Besides all this, the Nexus allows me to copy files back to a flash drive or memory card, adding to it's usefulness.
I think this is a huge design flaw on Apple's part. It's one they could easily fix by giving you a choice to only importing the Jpeg files, or just Raw or both. Not a big deal really.
I sort of grok the 'paradigm' behind it, which is to have people work with data, images, or projects, and not files. But in this case, it is not serving people, especially more serious photographers. It makes me suspect if the developers even asked photographers what they would need from the iPad--sort of placing it back in the toybox, as opposed to being a real tool for photographers.
