Import "RAW files only" also imports JPEGS (+ steps to reproduce)

I filed this bug report to Apple:
Summary:
When importing "RAW files only" the accompanying JPEGs are also imported when the files are stacked (cmd-K) in the import screen.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new library
2. Insert a card from a camera (checked with Canon G9, Lumix DMC-LX3) which holds RAW files and their accompanying JPEG files (same filename, different extension)
3. Cmd-I to import, if the import screen does not open by itself.
4. Make sure "RAW files only" is selected
5. Select "Uncheck All"
6. Select a few RAW files (for example 4) (click first, shift-click last, click checkbox, all 4 are selected at once)
7. Cmd-K to put them in a stack.
Above the "Import Checked" button the number of files to be imported is shown, 4 in this case.
8. Click "Import Checked"
Wherever the images are imported, not only the 4 RAW files will be imported, but also the accompanying JPEG files. This is also the case when only JPEGs are requested, in that case the RAW files will be imported as well.
Is is essential that the images to be imported are stacked in the import screen. If this is omitted, only the requested files (either RAW of JPEG) are imported (4 in this example).

Hi again
Sorry the delay in getting back to my post but I've been a tad busy.
Well, after a bit of testing I can confirm that the problem does seem to be an issue with Vista (32bit and 34 bit) as Jeff states.
I tried importing the raw files into Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit and whilst all operating systems allowed the import of JPEG files, I was only able to import the raw files into XP.
I havent got a card reader so am unable to test this at the moment.

Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
What is your screen resolution?

Adding RAW files to Aperture when JPEG exists

Here's my situation:
I recently bought Aperture and loaded my existing iPhoto library into it. This library only includes JPEG files. I have been shooting RAW+JPEG with a newer camera so I have an entire set of RAW files in a separate folder on my computer (which I never added to my iPhoto library). I want to now load these RAW files into Aperture -- will they correctly pair up with the corresponding JPEG's? What are the steps I need to take to ensure that they somehow pair with the existing JPEGs and I don't end up with duplicate RAW+JPEG files in different areas of my Aperture library? I would also like the RAWs to become the master over the JPEGs.

Read this page of the manual:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=4%26sec tion=6%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292IMP-SW5
To import the RAW files that match the JPEG files in your Aperture library
Choose “Matching RAW files” from the Import pop-up menu.The Include pop-up menu appears below the Import pop-up menu.
Do one of the following:
To import all matching RAW files regardless of rating: Choose “All matching files” from the Include pop-up menu.
To import all RAW files matching JPEG files that are unrated or better: Choose “Unrated or better” from the Include pop-up menu.
To import all RAW files that match the current rating: Choose “Current filter” from the Include pop-up menu.

Aperture 3: Deleting raw files and making the jpeg my new master-

Aperture 3 has made some great strides in making the following possible ( I posted this originally in 2007):
What I'd like to do is shoot everything in raw + jpg, 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 very heavy. If I could just make a selection of photos in a roll, and have a command to delete any unneeded raw files from the selected photos, while keeping the original jpgs as master, 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 render a high-quality jpg from that raw file & make the jpg the new master, and then delete the raw file to free up disk space.
Basically, I want the raw file safety net for everyday images, without gobbling up gigabytes of disk space <<<<<
With Aperture 3, I can finally change the master to the jpg file, which solves part of the problem. But I still want to be able to manipulate my raw file, and render a new high-quality jpg master.
Why don't Aperture / Lightroom do this? To me at least, it seems an obvious feature.

I had a chance to talk to product managers from both Apple & Adobe about this at PhotoPlus Expo in NYC a couple years back. Both seemed receptive, but here we are - years later - no progress.
I think part of the problem is that there's a purist mentality about RAW files. One should always shoot them - and then keep them forever- after all- they're your negatives!
But what about event photography? Or weddings, as you pointed out? It makes no sense to burden your workflow & backup system with 4GB of RAW files of people grinning into the camera. Once the adjustments have been made, the RAW files are just a ball & chain on your data management. And let's not forget, once you really know what you're doing, your jpegs should be good most of the time anyway.
I want RAW files as a safety net for errors in exposure and white balance. Once I know I have good photos, I don't need the safety net anymore- at least not at the price of all that hard disk space and transfer time for online backup. Of course, for my fine art stuff and important documentary work, I'll always keep the RAWs permanently. But not for routine parties/events.
You put your finger on the problem with re-importing jpegs as a solution. You lose your metadata- rankings/album memberships, etc. This is no solution!
What I want is simple, and it would be immediately useful to countless photographers:
1) Let me batch-delete RAW files when the jpegs are ok.
2) Let me do adjustments on my RAW file, render out a high-quality jpeg, and make the jpeg my new master.
Whoever does this first - Aperture or Lightroom - that's the product I'll use.

Import RAW files only

I have a Nikon D60, and took all of my pictures from last week's vacation using the RAW+Basic option. Is there a way to import just the RAW files so I don't have to go through and delete all of the JPEG duplicates?

The camera mounts as a disk on your desktop, right? Well open that with the Finder and sort them on NEF as the Raw format, then import those to iPhoto.

Bridge CS5 applies wrong white balance during thumbnail extraction (raw files only)

Hello to all Adobe Wizards,
Hobbiest photographer here. I use a Canon T2i and I have been shooting raw with auto white balance.
After I upload the CR2 files to Bridge, Bridge begins thumbnail extraction. This is when the problem begins: I watch Bridge extracting thumbnail photo after photo, turning them into wrong white balance one by one. After Bridge is done, I open one of these photos in Camera Raw, it shows the photo in "custom white balance". I was able to change it back to "As Shot". But every photo in Bridge now has custom white balance and is difficult to view in Bridge. This screenshot shows what my Bridge looks like after thumbnail extraction....
Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I took some photos with different white balance settings on the camera. I uploaded them to Bridge and Bridge over-wrote all the white balance settings. I then imported the same photos (from the same files) to iPhoto, they show up with correct write balance. Please see the second screenshot.
The third screenshot shows a unedited photo I opened from Bridge to Camera Raw, and the same photo as it appears in iPhoto, both unedited.
Again, this only happens to CR2 files. All tif, jpeg files are fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Wolfie

Any ideas?
First of all, shooting Raw has the benefit of changing the color temperature (Whit Balance) to what ever you like from whatever you shot in camera.
To me it seems you once have saved a custom white balance as default setting and this is been applied to every new file because you told Bridge to do so. The easiest way to get out of this is open a raw file in ACR and in the basic tab at the right side you see a small icon for sub menu (next to the word basic). Click on it and from the row choose 'Reset Camera Raw defaults' at the bottom.
Also decide whether you want to stay in 16 bit mode (as you are now as shown in the blue line under the preview). If you want to chance it back to 8 bit just click on that blue line and choose your options from that menu. You only have to do this once for the files from that same camera, ACR remembers the settings for you.
Using 16 bit mode has advantages when using critical color corrections (but then you also should change the color mode to ProPhoto in my opinion). The disadvantage is that 16 bit doubles the file size compared to 8 bit
Having set the ACR defaults should effect your thumbs immediately by building new thumbs and previews but if not you must choose purge cache for folder from the menu tools / cache/ purge cache for folder. Now the new settings will be applied.
It may take some time so let Bridge do its work properly before starting other jobs in Bridge (see the activity bar bottom left to check if Bridge is still caching).

How do I work on my raw files and not the jpeg files that currently dispaly

When I launch Aperture my pictures display in jpeg format, I do however take all my pictures in both raw and jpeg. How do I convert and work on the raw files? Is my interpretation that I am working on my Jpeg files correct?
My thanks for any help provided.

The preference to import both and use RAW vs. JPEG as master can be set on import and you can convert on a project-by-project basis.
You can tell what Aperture is using a few different ways. If you select the meta-data tab then show the "File Info" (the pull-down menu) it'll show you exactly which file it's using as the master.
Also if you right-click over the mouse you'll see one of the pop-up menu options to "Set JPEG as Master" or "Set RAW as Master" (it'll show whichever one you aren't using -- so if it offers to "Set RAW..." then that means it's currently using JPEG.
To convert a whole project, it's as gocuk says in the reply above.... select the "Library" tab at left, make sure you highlight the Project you want to convert, then in the menubar pick "Photos" -> "Switch Project to use RAW as Masters" (which will only be bold and selectable if it's currently set to use JPEG).

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 to set color profile when exporting a RAW file version as a JPEG?

I import my raw files to Aperture and when exporting as a JPEG I want to specify a color profile of sRBG. I cannot see how to set the color profile for the export. Does anyone know how to do this?

When you go to export versions, edit the presets, and there is a drop down box that lets you select the profile.
I'd suggest picking up the Aperture book by Luna, Long, and Harrington. Lots of great info there.

Nikon RAW Files turn purple (while JPEGs unchanged)

Only recently, not sure if it coincided with an update, my MacBook mis-converts most, but seemingly not all, Nikon (from a D7000) RAW files. It appears to do it in iPhoto and also in the browser, although all of the thumbnails and JPEGs look correct.
It's driving me crazy and I have no idea how to try to fix it.

There seems to be a bug in the last camera raw update that's causing this on some systems
Let Apple know
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
In the meantime revert to the previous one. See here for more:

Edited RAW files not saved as .JPEG files

Before I updated to iPhoto8, when I edited my RAW files they were saved to JPEG files automatically. From the Help documentation, I believe that this should still be happening..... but it isn't.
Do I have a setting wrong? Anyone know?
Thanks.

Check the entry "About nondestructive editing" in iPhoto Help. With iPhoto '08 you will not see the "save" progress bar unless the photo was previously edited in iPhoto 6. Here is a portion of the text:
Nondestructive editing allows you to try different adjustments and effects at will⎯there’s no danger that successive edits and saves will degrade your photo’s quality. You’re never more than one version away from your original photo. Instead of saving a new version over the previous one every time you edit a photo, iPhoto ’08 simply remembers all your changes as an edit list.
When you reopen your edited photo to view or do more work, iPhoto then reapplies those edits to the original version. You’ll see where you left off, so you can make incremental changes from there.
IMPORTANT: For photos imported to earlier versions of iPhoto and never edited, nondestructive editing will apply in iPhoto ’08.
However, for photos imported to earlier versions and edited either in iPhoto or in a separate application such as Photoshop, nondestructive editing does not apply.

Elements 10 doesn't recognise the raw files but does the JPEG.

I have just bought a new camera a canon 5dmk111 and have been shooting in Raw+Jpeg. When I try and transfer them onto my PC in Elements 10 it only recognises the JPEG's and not the RAW. I have previously been using a canon 400D and not had this problem.

You should be able to update pse 10 to camera raw 6.7 by going to Help>Updates from within the pse 10 editor.
Then pse 10 should open your EOS 5D Mark III camera raw files.

Lightroom for RAW files only?

Thinking about trying Lightroom. Is it used mostly with RAW files or can it be used with JPEG and others?

Lightroom can be used with JPEG, TIF and PSD images as well as raw files. I suppose the reason there is always so much discussion about raw files is that it is a very powerful raw converter as well. Those who choose to shoot raw images quickly discover the advantages of doing so. But shooting raw also introduces several other considerations such as whether or not Lightroom will support the camera files. And that is not an issue when shooting JPEG or TIF images.

CS6 processes only RAW files only one-by-one

I have CS5 64-bit version installed and for trial I have now installed CS6, also 64-bit.
I noticed one thing, when converting RAW files to JPG from Camera Raw in CS5, then 3-4 files are processed in parallel and therefore the entire process is rather speedy. In CS6 for some reason files are processed only one-by-one.
From system wise, I have a laptop, 64-bit system, 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium, and two graphics processors, integrated Intel GPU and NVIDIA GeForce 310M.
Screenshot from CS5, just to show what I mean:
Can anyone suggest how to get CS6 to process files in parallel also?

What's the real problem you're trying to solve? That you want the files converted faster? Camera Raw is indeed slowing down as they add features and fix bugs. Your only real solution is to get a more powerful computer. Please see my comparison list of speeds to convert the same 50 raw images here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4667499#4667499
Did you time the set of conversions of the same files with both? Do your numbers line up with mine?
Regarding what you see on the screen... Have you looked at your Task Manager to see that it's busying all your cores? It doesn't busy them all 100%, but it does get them all working - no less so than Photoshop CS5. Camera Raw 7 simply does much more per conversion (and we benefit by it being easier than ever to get fantastic image quality out of our raw files).
It looks like what they've done in the latest version is to implement more multi-threading in an individual conversion, and thus they don't have to do multiple images simultaneously to get all your cores working. The advantage to this is that even a single image opens faster.

No changes appear when batch editing Camera Raw Files and saving as jpegs

When I batch edit my raw files, including saving the file as a jpeg, from bridge or photoshop the resulting file saved never includes any changes I made in the Camera Raw editor. For example if I have lightened the photo by changing the exposure in Camera Raw as a saved jpeg after batching the file is still as dark as when originally shot. Is there some little box I forgot to check or something? Thanks!
andy

I've seen something like this, but have not figured out why yet. In my situation I select a group of images in Bridge and go to Tools / Photoshop / Image Processor.
There I click the "open first image to apply settings" box.
Save in Same Location
Save as JPEG, resize to fit (1200 pixels), Convert Profile to sRGB.
No Action selected
Include ICC Profile
Run it and in Camera Raw roll the saturation down to -100 (convert to b&W).
Click "Open Image"
The process runs and the first image is converted to b&w, but the others are not.
