How to remove an embedded RAW file from DNG?

During my early phases of experimenting with Lightroom's support for DNG, I ticked the Embed RAW Image option in Preferences. Unfortunately, this meant that the resulting DNG was, compared with the original CRW, about 3 times the size. I've since ceased embedding RAW files into the DNG, so now the DNGs are roughly 10% smaller than the CRWs, which is quite a result.
My question is: for the DNGs where I embedded the RAW image, how can I remove that image and reclaim all that wasted space?

Use the convert to dng (yes, you can do this on dng files!) function and make sure to uncheck the embed original RAW option but keep the rest default (yes to lossless compression and make sure you have preserve RAW image instead of convert to linear set. You can do this directly in lightroom or using the dng converter app.

  • How can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

    how can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

    You can download the 7.1 DNG converter to make copies of your canon raw files in the adobe dng format, which can then be opened in pse 9.
    As said above the the latest camera raw plugin 6.5 for pse 9 won't open those files directly, but will open the the converted dng files.

  • How do I open my raw files from my nikon 7100 (NEF files) in adobe photoshop

    I recently downloaded a trial version of photoshop cc along with bridge and the adobe dng converter. All of which was suggested after finding out that my CS4 suite was no longer supported. I am sad to report that I still cannot open the files and the adobe support link offered no assistance on a trial version. How am I to know if it works or to be encouraged to continue with the cc versions after the trial? Any suggestions?

    Thanks!! Eventhough I had loaded the newest version of the Nikon software that came with my camera, I did not do it until after I had transferred my images using the pevious version for an older camera. Didn't think it mattered at the time since it seemed to transfer fine. I deleted all my raw files and repeated the transfer. Thank God I didn't have delete upon transfer selected and still had the images on my camera. Anyway, it worked and you have brought me up to speed and out of the frustrated artist mode I was slipping into. I no longer need the converter. 

  • How do i keep my RAW files from turing to jpeg files when exporting them to My Passport?

    I am an amature photographer and take all my pitures in RAW form (highest quality and more editing capability). I was given a My Passport for Mac external harddrive to transfer all my files to to open more space on my mac book. When importing my RAW files to the Passport they automatically turn to JPEG files. I just re-imported a few files from the Passport back into Aperature and they are still JPEG files Is there something i need to do to keep my RAW files RAW? If not with the Passport, is there another external that would be of better use to me?

    When you drag and drop the from Aperture you export the JPEG Preview.
    Use the command "File > Export" in Aperture  to export the original files.
    You can also open an Aperture library in Photos - this will create a Photos library.

  • How do you export a RAW file from Lightroom?

    I am trying to export my RAW files to my desktop (on a mac) so that I can send the files via email. Is this possible?

    You can't save it as the original RAW file, (e.g. .CR2 or .NEF) but you can export as a DNG file. Go to File settings > Image Format > DNG.
    P.S. You should be able to send an NEF or CR2 file by email as long as it doesn't exceed the file size limit

  • How can I stop embedded shockwave files from resizing in the exported file.

    -Operating System: Windows XP
    -Office Version: 2007
    -Flash Player version:
    -Xcelsius Version and Patch Level: 2008 (2?)
    I have a problem with embedded shockwave files resizing when they are exported.
    I have built a dashboard which needs a video to loop in the corner.  When I embed this video as a swf file using the image component and linking to the swf in question there is no problem.  I can export the entire as a swf in itself and the video plays in the corner fine.
    However when I need several videos each appearing on different 'pages' within the dashboard the problem arises.  I can set the various shockwave videos behaviour to appear and disappear depending on the page selected.  But, instead of appearing in the size that I have set the embedded video to they have grown.
    So instead of having a neat little video looping in the corner I have a huge video obliterating the rest of the dashboard.
    any help would be gratefully heard.
    Thanks

  • How to find the original RAW file # from a Lightroom exported JPG?

    Hello, this is in regards to a Lightroom 3.5 exported JPG. This was a year ago when I had been told it was best to export files with simple renumbering of them from 1 to x... instead of retaining the original RAW 4-digit file name.
    I've currently lost the original files, and need to do a search for them via these 4 digits to see if I have them tucked away in any of my drives. I downloaded a metadata explorer, and it's telling me all the lightroom editing information, and everything else, but somehow does not have the simplest of information — that 4 digit original file name.
    Am I grasping at straws or is there likely to be any way to find this information out? I don't work with metadata, so there wouldn't have been any customizations to how Lightroom configures this....hoping that's in my favor. Any help is much appreciated!!!!

    A note about security (context: downloaded apps & plugins...).
    Anatomy of a URL:
    protocol://stuff.stuff.stuff.domain.domain-suffix/stuff/stuff?stuff=stuff
    None of this stuff matters much except:
    domain.domain-suffix (and protocol, to some extent).
    So if you download something from:
    http://ignafradifcawhatyousay.toolonganyway.my.server.com/gogafnoics...
    It's coming from server.com using http (web) protocol.
    But, if you download it from:
    http://my.server.com.badguy.tv/...
    It's coming from badguy.tv, NOT server.com, so if you want it from server.com - danger will robins...
    And, if you download from
    http://216.195.245.134/my.server.com
    It's coming from an unregistered internet address (216.195.245.134) - again: danger...
    (4 groups of up-to-3 digits separated by dots is the format for a literal internet (IP) address, instead of domain-name...)
    Summary: if you learn the anatomy of a URL, and pay attention to the URL's you are clicking on, or entering directly, you can take more responsibility for security, and assure (to a greater extent) you don't download from an unfriendly source.

  • Transfering raw files from one computer to another after LightRoom selection

    Hello,
    I'm trying out lightroom and love it so far. One quick question. If my assistant makes a Collection for me to work on later, how can I get the RAW files from that collection to work them on a different computer. I looked at the export option but it's only JPGs or DNF, and I want the RAW files. Can she export the RAW files for me? How?
    Thank you in advance

    Thanks for your info. I'm a bit confused.
    Don, if she exports the XMP sidecards I still need to have all the original files on my machine, and then filter accordingly correct? I only want to bring to my machine the Good Files. I don't want to waste time with the bad ones.
    What do mean by letting her access both?
    Harrison, are you saying to export the whole collection as DNG files and burn it onto a CD or something so that I can bring it into my computer? I'm not sure what you mean by letting my assistant "import them into the library on her computer" did you mean "my" computer?
    Also right now I use bridge and I sort pictures by date created (multiple cameras) and then rename them with a prefix starting with 001. Can I do this in LightRoom.
    Thanks again for all your help.

  • Moved my Raw files from Windows to MAC - did they automatically turned to JPEG???

    Very new to the MAC!!!  I just loaded Elements 6 for the MAC on my new Macbook Pro.  I had
    about 500 photos that I transferred from my old PC via USB drive to the Mac to Iphoto.  They were shot RAW+JPEG.  When I open them, it appears in Iphoto that I really have 2 jpegs - on my old PC I have two files per photo - A blue PSE and a Jpeg.  What transferred to Iphoto is 2 JPEGS that are basically the same size as their Windows counterparts - 9 MB and 2 MB, respectively.  They both have JPEG extensions and when I open the large one in PSE6, i get the regular PSE6 menu - not the RAW options for adjusting WB, temperature, histograph, tint, exposure, etc!!!  Am I a complete Moron????  I think so!!!  I was expecting to have this all work like my PC?  Basically - what is going on, where are my raw files and converter and what do I need to do to work on raw files on the MAC??????  Thanks and I am really enjoying this computer.  But getting the cross platform transfer from Adobe was a ***** (10-12 calls over 10 days  - and cost $28!  Thanks for any help

    I knew you would come to the rescue, Barbara!!!  And you are right!  I do have CR2 files on the PC and I drag/drop them to the USB drive - where they stay CR2.  It is in the importing to IPhoto that IPhoto turns them into JPEG (I notice when the CR2 file goes over, for a millisecond - the resolution of the thumbnail gets a little less sharp - so I guess that is what is happening).  At any rate, when I just connected the USB drive and dragged the CR2 file to a folder on my MAC and opened it with PSE6 - all was perfect!!!!  It opened with the RAW converter!!! - YOU are absolutely right!  Iphoto doesn't know how to handle RAW. So, I guess that is how I will transfer over RAW files from my PC.  BTW - in Image Capture - it was set to "no application".  Should I keep it that way and just import files from my Canon 40D (which will come over from a card reader) to a temporary desktop folder?  Thanks again!!!!

  • HT4007 I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using to opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my msc disc??

    I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the  opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

    I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

  • How to import only RAW files from camera?

    I also shoot with both RAW and JPEG, such that I have access to JPEGs to share with people immediately before post-processing.  But I only want to use RAW in my Lightroom flow.
    When pictures are already in Lightroom, I use filters in the library view to show only RAW, or only JPEG, or both (by applying a filter on the file extension).
    But how do I set a filter before importing?  I would like to import only the RAW pictures into lightroom, but I don't see a way of doing that using Lightroom's import from camera card features.  I either have to let lightroom  import all, and then remove the JPEGs, or use Windows explorer to copy over just RAW files and then use Lightroom to import.
    I would like to use Lightroom in just one step to import all RAW files (but only RAW files) from the camera card directly to the library.  A file filter in the import dialog seems like an easy feature to implement.

    Another reason to have a filter in import is then you can then apply a preset to the RAW files only. At present if I want to apply a preset to my RAW files on import I have to apply it to the JPEGs too as there is no way of being selective on import. I then have to remove the preset from the JPEGs, which is a pointless and unnecessary task, whilst LR is busy rendering the unwanted look.
    I shoot both file types on one cameras as the JPEG gives me a look that is very hard to replicate with the RAW files and on another camera I use a picture style to remind me of what I was looking for when shooting. Again as it's a custom style it's very hard to replicate the look in LR from the RAW file.
    Though a major reason I shoot both JPEGs + RAW is that I was asked by a client a few years back, when I only shot RAW for all the shots as JPEGs to select down from. As this was a 4 week feature film shoot it took several days constant rendering out of Photoshop to output the JPEGs. This was just before LR and even then, LR would still take considerable time to produce all those exported files, though a lot quicker than PS I would hope. So now I always shoot JPEGs as well so I never have to waste time outputting JPEGs for a client to do a rough select.
