Image shows both NEF +JPEG, how do I know I'm editing the RAW file?

In the Library module I have images that show NEF+JPEG. When I click on the image and go to the Develop module, how do I know that I'm editing the RAW file?

When you go to the develop module (a.) The file type should be displayed and (b.) In the basic panel you will have the option to select the White Balance, if the file were jpeg or tiff i.e. an already rendered image it would only show embedded. See screen capture.

TS2518 I have Aperture 3.1.2 running on os 10.6.8. Aperture does not show focus points on my Nikon D7100, nor does it recognize the RAW files. Will upgrading Aperture allow me to see the focus points and RAW files again? Also, do I need to upgrade my os f

I have aperture 3.1.2 running on os 10.6.8 mac book pro. Lost some features in aperature when I upgraded my camera (no longer shows focus points, does not recognize RAW files) Would like to upgrade to aperture 3.5, but do not want to loose any pictures in my extensive library. Do I have to upgrade one vesion at a time, or can I jump? I believe I also need to upgrade my os, but not sure which to do first? Any help would be appreciated...

1. Can I get Icloud without having to upgrade to OS Lion?
Nope, you need 10.7.
2. If I upgrade to OS Lion, does this automatically put me onto ICloud
No, you set that up yourself.
3. I have three mobile me email addresses. One for myself, one for my wife and one I use for my business. What happens to these.
You can convert them to be used in iCloud.
4. My wife and I also use mobile me to sync our calendars across an Ipad (original) and two Iphones (3Gs). Both Iphones and Ipad are still currently using IOS4, and I am reluctant to upgrade this to IOS 5 as I have heard some horror stories. If I fail to upgrade to IOS 5, will this create confusion with my Apple ID's. (There already is a lot of confusion with these- Apple appear to not have down their homework)
If you don't change the settings you have now, I'm sure it will stay working. I believe Apple is phasing out MobileMe and you'd be forced to upgrade eventually.
5. Will Icloud allow me to transfer my Icalendar across seamlessly? This is Ical 4.04 whic came with my Imac. Does this get upgraded if I update to Lion?
Yes, it will get upgraded. I have my calendar on Lion and my iPhone 5.0.1 working seamlessly at the moment. That doesn't mean you won't have problems because with new technology that can be expected. Make sure you do a back up if you're worried about losing data.

I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

When will finder show a thumbnail or preview of the raw file images from the Canon 5d mark iii?

I am wondering if anyone has an update on when finder will show a thumbnail for the raw files from the Canon 5d mark III? I've done all the updates possible and nothing has changed, I can't do a quick preview either, it just shows the extension image, not the actual image taken. (The symbol for crw).

I had the same problem for a Canon EOS-1D X and finally got around it by viewing the images in Adobe Bridge. Worked beautifully!

What is "installing 1 item" I clicked by mistake and my screen is showing me this. How long does it take to do the update? I'm worried that it doesn't change. What can I do about it?

Cocoi,
since we don’t know what this one item being installed even is, how could we know how long it would take to install?

how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

Many thanks Barbara and dj_paige.
What I didn't mention is that I'm using PSE 5 with ACR 4.6, if its relevant. I'm thinking of updating to the next version when its out in the hope that it will run with Windows 7 64 bit or I may go to Lightroom.
I can now see that I can batch convert a whole folder of files using "process multiple files" as dj_paige suggested but that is too many at once as the settings I choose won't be relevant for all the pics in the folder.
I was hoping to batch convert say 5 or 6 similar photos at a time with the same settings. I'm not quite clear what you're suggesting but I'm hoping that its a "work round" using two stages to achieve this.
I can't see a list of open files within ACR to ensure that they are all selected as you suggest.
What does clicking Open rather than Done mean? Does this amend the original RAW file to the settings selected so that if I then "process multiple files" on the whole folder to convert from RAW to JPEG they will in fact have already been processed in smaller groups so I can convert without applying any further changes?
If so, what settings should I apply to "process multiple files" to ensure a simple conversion of file type rather than any further adjustments?
Any further help on this would be much appreciated.

How far does iPhoto preserve the RAW file when editing?

I'm trying to get a better understanding of how iPhoto handles RAW photos and hope you'll answer a humble, possibly misguided question:
How far through the editing process does iPhoto preserve RAW data?
Here's what I mean by this: I understand that iPhoto cannot "edit" a RAW file, but there are a couple of ways it look like it was. Let's take a WB adjustment as an example.
Option 1: "Convert on import." iPhoto converts the RAW to a JPG when I import the file (or begin to edit it). Then adjusting the WB will be a filter applied to a JPG file (meaning there wasn't much advantage to shooting RAWs in the first place)!
Option 2: "Fully RAW." iPhoto imports the RAW file and then "processes" it whenever you display or print it. When you edit it (e.g., adjusting the white balance), it keeps track of the new parameters (e.g., WB, or contrast, or cropping, etc.) and then uses these parameters the next time it processes the RAW for display. This would mean, for example, that there would be no difference in quality between
A. Taking a freshly-imported RAW and setting the white balance to X, and
B. Taking a freshly-imported RAW, setting the white balance to Y, closing iPhoto, re-opening iPhoto then editing the picture again and changing the WB to X.
Option 3: "Somewhere in-between." Files are imported as RAW, but then converted to JPG at the end of the first editing. Subsequent edits are treated as JPG edits (including the resulting loss in image quality with each edit).
Can anyone clarify this? How does the answer differ for different types of edits (e.g., WB vs. image rotation vs., expanding the highlights, etc.)? Is the answer different for Aperture vs. iPhoto?
Thanks!
-Mike

How about the 4 th option... None of the above.
Option 3 is closest. As the Help says:
When you edit a RAW-format photo and click Done, iPhoto applies your changes to the RAW image data and stores the data as a JPEG file (the original RAW file remains unchanged).
It can also be saved as tiff is you prefer.
Here's where it's different from your option 3:
Subsequent edits are treated as JPG edits (including the resulting loss in image quality with each edit)
There is no loss of image quality with each edit because of iPhoto's _[Non-Destructive Editing Feature|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/7.0/en/11464.html]_ .
You can, of course, re-process the RAWs if you choose. This will bring you right back to the Original file.
Aperture is quite different. It's at your option 2

How can I copy pics back to the RAW format after loading in iPhoto?

I downloaded pictures in the RAW format with no problem. Afterwards, I deleted them from my memory stick and am now trying to copy them to a jump drive in their original RAW format, but iPhoto converts them to JPEG. How can I get them back to the RAW format when copying to an external source?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and set the Kind to Original.
Iphoto does not convert the files to JPEG. Your RAW is protected. What happens is that iPhoto makes a JPEG preview of the file. IF you drag from the iPhoto Window or export with the Kind: Current you get that Preview. Exporting as Original will get the RAW.

The RAW files I just downloaded on new MacBook Pro are designated as JPEG in the photo info box. Why??

The RAW files I just downloaded on new MacBook Pro are designated as JPEG in the photo info box. Why??

How did you download? Have you been using the Import panel?
How is the pop-up selector for the "Raw+Jpeg" set?
If you are importing raw+jpeg pairs, and you set this to (Use Jpeg as original), then you will see a little J on the thumbnail, otherwise a R.
Or did ou import with Jpeg only?

How can I import an Aperture Catalog into Lightroom and retain the RAW file as well as the files with the edits?

I have several catalogs in Aperture that I would like to import to Lightroom 5 and I want to retain the original RAW files as well as the files with the edits. How can I do this?

Well, you can bring in the raw file (without edits), and you can bring in a rendered RGB file (e.g. jpeg or tiff) with edits baked in, but what you CAN'T do is bring in a raw file, with the non-destructive Aperture edits, and have Lr translate those Aperture edits into Lightroom edits.
Put another way: no raw converter/editor can understand the edits of any other raw converter/editor. So, you have to work with a rendered version, and/or re-edit from scratch in a new raw converter/editor.
PS - it would be feasible to write a rough translator which approximated raw edits in one world into edits in another, but such does not exist yet for Aperture -> Lightroom, that I know of.

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files?

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

What version of Photoshop are you running? You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014. Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.

How do I edit the hosts file in Lion

I tried to edit the hosts file in Lion with: sudo nano /private/etc/hosts. Then entered Password. The window came up blank evev though I know there is data there.

Thanks BD for your response. I have looked at Youtube where they are demonstrating how to do this by using sudo nano /etc/hosts. After entering the Password it shows a screen with the text of the hosts file. On the bottom of the screen it shows the number of lines read. When I do the same thing I get a blank screen and on the bottom it says no file. I am either doing something wrong or this does not work. I even tried changing the permissions of the hosts file to R & W for system, wheel, and everyone. This also did not work. I have not tried Hostal yet but if I can't find a simple way to text edit the hosts file I will give it a try.

How do I get Photoshop to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5 for Mac 10.91.

How do I get Photoshop CS4 to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5. I have a Mac 10.91.operating system and have tried downloading and installing Camera_Raw_5_2.dmg, which has failed to do the trick.

Thanks Pierre, I have converted the .rwl files to .dng, but CS4 says it does not recognise them. What now? Or is Mylenium correct?

Hello, you should download the latest DNG converter: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
I suggest to contact Leica and ask them why they do not use the DNg format on that camera, as they do on their more costly models.
