How to start editing previously edited image files?

When NEF (raw files) in LR4 are edited, it generates two additional files: tiff and jpg (by "save as").  Later on, when I want to furhter edit those images, how do I start with?    Obviously, I could re-edit from history panel of the orignal NEF file or tiff file using CS5.  I wonder which approach is more efficient or convenient? 

>.So TIF files or JPEG files are only created for a specific purpose. And once that purpose is fulfilled (e-mail, printing, etc.) That file is deleted. The only file I keep in most instances is the original >raw file. There is not a separate database for TIF files so I don't understand your question
I have a hummingbird folder and also its  LR  hummingbird catalog.  Upon reading your post, I deleted all hummingbird  tif files (which were generated when edited NEF files were sent to photoshop by "Edit In Photoshop CS5"0  from hummingbird folder.   There is no single tif file in the folder.  But I kept the original NEF and jpeg files. 
When the hummingbird catalog was opened in LR4, the libray grid still shows all deleted tif images but with a question mark in the images, indicating that these tif files are missing.(see the attachment below). 
This indicates that simply deleting tif files  does not remove their database from the  hummingbird catalog.   This explains my previous question about how to delete all information related to tif files from hummingbird catalog database.    .

  • How to start the Toshiba Ghost image files from the HDD

    Hello
    Ok this is a tough one but hopefully some tech/wizz can help me out.
    I have all the necessary CD Recovery disc but my Toshiba laptop CDRom has died and i'm looking for replacement at the moment.
    I have managed to copy the image files and all the other info from these CD's onto the laptop hard drive via a network from my desktop cdrom. I did try to use the desktop cdrom to boot the 2.5" laptop drive but it knew it wasnt a toshiba laptop so wouldn't let me recovery.
    However now I have manage to copy all the ghost image files onto the laptop hdd I'm stuck on how to run installation via dos.
    The laptop hdd is formatted and all i have are the following files
    span.bmp
    setenv.bat --------> batch file contains following lines
    @ECHO OFF
    SET GHOSTPAR=
    SET SWN=01237000
    SET EXT=GHO
    SET VOLLABEL=%SWN%
    SET FILENAME=%SWN%.%EXT%
    01237001.GHS------> PART 2 OF IMAGE
    01237000.GHO -----> GHOST IMAGE MAIN
    01237000.CRC
    A folder called G_INST
    which contains 3 extra folders BMP, DOS and TOOLS and span.bmp
    I cant figure out how i can run ghost to extract and recovery my HDD can someone help me :)
    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    Im really skeptical if you will be start the Toshiba ghost image files from the second partition without using the Symantec Norton Ghost software.
    I have created a ghost image of the C partition and placed it on the D partition.
    To recover the C partition I have to start the Ghost Utility and have to use the image file .gho from D partition
    I have googled a little bit and found the useful instruction how to recover the Portege M3500 without using an CD/DVD drive. Maybe this will run also on the Sat A30.

  • When shooting tethered in Lightroom, my tech is editing previous shot images ....

    When shooting tethered in Lightroom, my tech is editing previous shot images, but when I shoot another image, that image pops up instead. is there a way to stop the last shot image automatically pop up, so my tech can continue working on the last image?
    thanks!
    <moved from downloading,setting up,installing - kglad>

    Have the tech move the photo upon which they are working into the Quick Collection [ B ]. As long as he is in the QC, the photo won't advance while you continue to shoot.

  • How do I find the aperture image files so that I can attach them to an email

    How do I find the aperture image files? I know that you can email images from aperture. But how would I attach an image using Mail?

    if you mean to go into the Aperture library in order to get image files to print with Canon's software it's not really possible. The best you would be able to do would be to get the master image and if you're shooting RAW that will be the RAW file. In any case no adjustments you made to the image in Aperture would be available, versions don't exist as files until you export them.
    If you want to print with the Canon software you would export the image from Aperture and then print that image file.
    If I've misunderstood your question post back,

  • Editing non-raw image files in Adobe Photoshop

    Hi,
    I am currently digging into the world of Lightroom and setting up a work flow which in my case needs to include editing non-raw files in Adobe Photoshop.
    Please bear in mind that I am quite new to Lightroom so I am not sure I have found all shortcuts and settings to manipulate.
    I will explain what I trying to do (and why) and hope that the community can comment and help put if possible.
    I myself shoot almost everything in RAW format, and I have been using Photoshop (PS) and Camera Raw (ACR) for some years now. I am now on Photoshop CS6.
    But now the amount of images to handle requires a CMS, so I went for Lightroom 4 - hoping/believing that I would find an effective and efficient work flow integration between the two Adobe products.
    But I am more and more also helping others to enhance their images, and I most often get jpg files as image source.
    I am used to using PS layers, filters, smart objects etc extensively to do what I want to do.
    OK, I admin that I already use ACR quite a lot, and sometimes even as the only tool even for jpg images.
    I have began diving/snorkeling with friends and often the images we bring back home is in jpg format, and so far I still believe that the best image "restoration" can be done in Photoshop using adjustment layers, channel mixing and filters to get satisfactory results.
    So now on to my concerns and issues:
    1) Lightroom user interface efficiency - "Edit in"
    When I want to edit a jpg image in Photoshop I :
    action
    comment
    - left click image to select it
    ok, I agree this is needed
    - right click image to bring up context menu
    ok, I agree this is needed
    - move cursor to "Edit in", and wait for another context menu
    ok, ...
    - click "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6"
    Yes that's want I want
    - Lightroom presents the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6" selection menu.
    Yes I know, I saw it the last
    nnn times I did it
    - if I need option "Edit a Copy" or "Edit Orginal" I move cursor again, left click to select ,
       move cursor to Edit and left click 
    - and finally Lightroom sends the jpg image to Photoshop as a jpg image
    No, I want a tiff file since that
    is what I have set up in
    preferences
    OK, I know that I can also use the keyboard instead of mouse for this, but the number of actions required from my side is pretty much unchanged.
    For a quick working, Lightroom and PS skilled person, this is just annoying.
    Is this effecient?     Well it depends. For Lightroom beginners this is good. But for me it is a true annoying obstacle
    2) Lightroom "Edit in" - is it effective
    Is this effective?     I say no.      I have specified in preferences that I want PS to receive a TIFF file in Adobe RGB 1998 color space
                                                       Also, I cannot change to TIFF in PS without losing the link between the two images. (If I do, the new TIFF file is not imported by Lightroom, so I have to that manually)
    I have found out that I can choose the path "Select image - select "Open as Smartobject in Adobe Photoshop".
    This will give me a tiff file, and when saved in PS the jpg and tiff files are linked and Lightroom has automatically imported the tiff file into the Catalog.
    What I need / what I would like to know / what I would like to have:
    * Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut  - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
    * Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
    * Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
    * I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
       This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print,  or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
    * Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
       This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
       Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop  - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
    * I am skilled computer programmer  - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?
    Regards
    Bosse W 

    * Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut  - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
    -- The keyboard shortcut Command/Ctrl+E will perform steps 2-4 in your above list. You only have to click the Edit button, as the last choice (Edit Original, Edit Copy, Edit Copy with LR adjustments) will be remembered.
    * Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
    -- No, a JPEG in Lightroom will always open as a JPEG in Photoshop. If you have made changes to the file that are not supported by the JPEG format (e.g. added a layer) when you go to save the file, it will be saved as either a TIFF or PSD, based on the preference in Lightroom.
    * Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
    -- Yes, select all the files you want to edit, and use the keyboard shortcut, menu command, or right-click context menu command.
    * I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
       This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print,  or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
    -- No, there is no automatic way to do this. If you use the Edit a Copy method, the copy is created instantly in the same folder as the original.
    * Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
       This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
       Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop  - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
    -- Yes and No, this is not something that can be setup in Lightroom, but you can set it up in Photoshop using the Script Events Manager.
    * I am skilled computer programmer  - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?
    -- Yes: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshoplightroom.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshoplightroom.html

  • How to remove black border around image files?

    I'm something of a beginner with Photoshop, so forgive me if I've missed something entirely obvious: for some strange reason I'm now getting a black border around all image files that I save through the "Save for Web & Devices" panel. Does anyone know how I can save without creating this border? It looks rather unsightly when I load it into a client site. The file in question is a .png, but I seem to be getting the same effect with all other image files as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shane

    One cause could be having the matte color set to something other than none.
    Is that a png-8?

  • How can I copy and paste images' file?

    I need to duplicate images' files (.jpeg or .gif) from a directory to another one.
    How can I do?
    Is there any method to do that?(with jdk1.3.1)
    Thanks for your help.

    The following class copies files. Just call "java FileCopier file1 file2". FileInputStream and FileOutputStream also accept File instances instead of Strings, which will help when you work with different directories.
    // file: FileCopier.java
    import java.io.*;
    public class FileCopier {
      private String fileIn, fileOut;
      private int buffersize = 32768;
      public FileCopier(String fileIn, String fileOut) {
        this.fileIn = fileIn;
        this.fileOut = fileOut;
      public void copy() throws IOException {
        FileInputStream reader = new FileInputStream(fileIn);
        FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream(fileOut);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[buffersize];
        int read;
        while( (read = reader.read(buffer, 0, buffersize)) > 0 ) {
          writer.write(buffer, 0, read);
        writer.flush();
      public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
        FileCopier copier = new FileCopier(args[0], args[1]);

  • Suddenly "Unsupported Image Format" with previously good image files

    Aperture 3.3.2 under OS 10.7.4 on a 2011 MBP with 8 GB RAM and no overfilled drives.
    Nikon D2x NEF + JPEG files, RAW as Master. Has been working fine for weeks, no change in setup of any kind. No crashes until hours after this problem presented today. As recently as yesterday I was round-tripping to Photoshop and exporting from Aperture smooth as silk.
    Suddenly today most images will not open in Photoshop via Aperture but they open fine in PS from the referenced originals. Aperture will not export NEf files or most PSD files. JPEGs as Masters work normally.
    Aperture apparently sees the referenced files fine, including displaying and zooming. Most of the time. This is not an issue of unconnected originals.
    I have tried rebuilding the database, repairing permissions, deleting plist, etc. About half the time Aperture ends up stuck and reqs a force quit. Tested with multiple Libraries. New image files imported tday for testing work normally with any Library.
    I tried Terminal mode and Léonie's string
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/Isregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
    multiple tries always came back with "no such file or directory."
    This was a very stable setup so I am very _not_ desirous of starting to upgrade things just because. I have an upgrade plan for 10.8 but for good reasons do not want to do it just yet. Also I do not want to back up or upgrade from anything broken. 100% of originals are readily available, but there are many tens of thousands...
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    TIA
    -Allen   

    Allen,
    there have been several threads with similar problems of broken references to raw images; in some cases even with managed raw images, that cannot be reconnected, for example:
    Raw images all blank
    One more reason to avoid managed libraries.
    The "lsregister" command must exist on your machine.  It may move around a bit, because there are many links in the path to current versions.
    After the last update I found this direct path (MacOS X 10.8.2):
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
    To search the "lsregister" command in your system, try to open the "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework" in the Finder and to navigate from there:
    Typing "open /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework" into the Terminal will open a Finder window in the directory (as you probably will know )
    Added: If newly imported raws are recognized without problems it is unlikely to be a problem of missing raw conversion registration. I am just concerned about the error message you get.

  • How to import programmatically an APEX images file using workspace images option and CSS files to APEX?

    Oracle db 11gR2
    Oracle APEX 4.2.1
    Linux RHEL 6.3
    I am importing a images file programmatically into APEX.  And also a CSS file.
    I want to add an images file to my APEX instance but I want to choose the option -- workspace images --.  How does one do that programmatically via the APEX API e.g.?
    I don't want the images tied to an application within APEX.
    Does one do the same thing for CSS files that are imported to APEX?
    thx.

    This is interesting and helpful,  I use the following code to import my APEX database application and run it via SQL*Plus and it works fine for database applications -- what do I need to change/add/modify in order to load the images and CSS files?  NOTE: I want the images to be -- Workspace images -- not tied to any application.  Also, I need to handle the situation where the images and CSS data already exist in the APEX environment as well as when they are not there (i.e. initial install).  Usually it is a case where it is an upgrade so the data already exists in the APEX app and just needs to be updated.

  • Edit previous lifecycle designer file, now on mac

    I made a interactive PDf in lifecycle designer a couple of years ago when I was on PC, now i am exclusively mac and they want me to update the file.  I am only updating the logo and small print, not the interactivity. 
    How on earth do I do this without recreating from scratch?
    Thanks for any help!!
    See link for file: http://maddesignusa.com/test/UniversalWorksheetChooser10_09.pdf

    You will have to revise it in LiveCycle Designer if you don't want to bother switching over to using Acrobat.
    It look like you just have fields on the first page that are used for navigation (apart from the other buttons), so this would be easy to duplicate in Acrobat.

  • How do I remove previous editions (8, 9 , 10, 11 and 12) of Elements?

    I currently have Elements 14 installed and my computer is not happy. The techie working on my computer as tried to remove the old software but neither of us have been successful.  All of the copies were legally obtained and paid for but I no longer have the discs.

    Elements 14? Wow, you are ahead of the curve.
    Unfortunately the answer to your question depends on what the techie did. In windows you must use control panel to uninstall PSE. On a mac you absolutely must use the uninstaller found in the folder for each version in your applications folder. Attempting to do it by other means can create a huge mess.
    So without knowing what was done, the first thing is to try to uninstaller normally. If that fails, come back and we'll walk you through doing it the long way.

  • How can i convert a hexidecimal image file to a bmp file

    i have an array of hex data, each of the 7707 rows has 80 characters, i want to convert this to a standard windows bmp or jpeg file, any ideas how to do it?

    stewbert;
    Is that only one image or there are several images in that array? If the array is the image, and columns (number of characters) and rows correspond to what you are saying your array contains, it is a big image!
    There are other questions that needs to be answered, like, each character, how many numbers contains (looks like "EF" or like "EF3B5A".) Such sizes give ideas of the format and to where is the color table.
    You can play with the "Draw XXX Pixmap" VIs located in Function palette -> Graphics & Sounds -> Picture Functions and see if one of them renders an image.
    I think the best would be if you can post a sample of your array so somebody here can look at it and try to "decode" it.

  • How do you mount a DSK image file in Mac OSX?
