Import selection RAW / JPG in Lightroom 3

Hello,
On some assignments I need to quickly upload some photo's in jpg to a client. But for my archive I need the same pictures in RAW. Therefore in those situations I shoot both RAW and JPG on the same CF-card.
I am looking for a way to quickly select pictures by extension at import, so that I can import only the jpg's on my laptop when on assignment and later import only the RAW files when at home at my desktop. Is there a way to do this?
Best regards,
Johannes Abeling

I have to agree with Jasonized that using file explorer to import your photos is the best way to move JPEG files seperately. Personally I never use LR's memory card import function. I prefer to consolidate most multi-day shoots (i.e. muliple folders on memory card) to one (1) folder by manually creating that one (1) folder first, and then using drag and drop or copy and paste to move the files off the camera memory card. If you only want to move over the JPEG files to another person's laptop, it's very easy to sort by file type using this process.
You can use LR's memory card import function if you prefer to load both RAW and JPEG to YOUR system. If you don't want to see the JPEG files (i.e. just archiving on HDD) go to LR Preferences>File Handling>General and unselect 'Treat JPEG files next to raw files as seperate photos.' I understand the convenience of using LR for memory card import function, so perhaps Adobe could add the ability to sort by 'file type' AND ability to also "combine" mutliple folders on the memory card to one (1) destination folder. Does that sound like something that would be useful?

LR 4 won't import selected raw images

I just imported approximately 1500 raw images shot with my Nikon D800. Approximately 75 of the files would not import and I got LR4 unable to import message for those files.
All images were NEFs and most seem to be in clusters among the 1500 files.
The images all show up in CS5 Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 and open just fine in Photoshop CS5. They will show up in LR4 if I convert them to DNGs.
I just figured out that this is happening only with images that were shot at a 16:9 ratio, all other images were shot at the default 2:3 ratio. I would still like to understand why images shot at 16:9 won't show up in LR4.
Any idea what is happening? Thank you.

Is it 4.0 or 4.1RC2?
Earlier builds had problems with either Live View or pictures taken during
video recording.

RAW + JPG

I just started shooting RAW and imported 152 RAW + JPG today. Only the RAW are showing in Aperture. Any way to make both show up??? I drilled down in the library and the JPGs are there ...
thanks in advance for any help ...

From my website www.aperturetricks.com.
"Ben Long sent me a great script to work with RAW+JPEG imports and I posted that last week. But then several of you sent me emails suggesting additional support for RAW existed and I added that information to my own research and want to share that with you now.
Like others, I wish the RAW+JPEG workflow were better, but there’s more support than I think most people realize:
1. Aperture actually DOES import RAW+JPEG. It sees both files and brings them both into the Library. By default it only displays the RAW image. To see the JPEG too, just select any image and press Option-J, (That’s the keyboard shortcut for New Version from Master JPEG.) Now-the RAW AND the JPEG appear together in a stack. If you make the JPEG the “pick” of the stack, then you can collapse the stack and see only the JPEG.
2. Once you have both the RAW and the JPEG, you will want to be able to tell which is which. Aperture CAN (despite complaints from some reviewers who just don’t know how to properly use the software) display full filenames and file extensions You need to set up the metadata display options correctly.
- Create a new Metadata set using the Action menu on the metadata inspector.
- Click the “Other” button at the bottom of the inspector and turn on File Name as the only field to be displayed for this new set.
- Open View > View Options and set either Set number 1 or Set number 2 in either the Viewer or Browser to display your new metdata set, consisting of File Name.
Now you can toggle full filenames (With extensions) on or off the images in the Viewer or on thumbnails in the browser.
You could also just modify any existing metadta set to accomplish this by replacing the “Version Name” field with the “File Name” field."
Good luck,

RAW images in Lightroom 3

When I import my RAW images into Lightroom 3 (for Mac), they look great until I click on an image to view it. Then, automatically Lightroom changes the coloring and quality of my image. It makes it look terrible! I didn't even click on any presets or sliders. I want my images to look the way they do when I first import them. Is there a setting that I need to turn off or change?

Digital cameras capture images in a raw format.and depending on the camera model you have you have the option to allow the camera to process the raw data and provide a jpeg / Tiff image file you can view on your computer. You may also have the option for your camera to retain the raw data and have this processed by software provided by your camera manufacturer.
You also have the option to use third party raw processing software to process the raw data, Lightroom / Adobe ACR, are one of these providers. Third party raw processing software use their own proprietory processes and profiles to carry out this process. They are all different to your camera manfacturer processes which are proprietory so what your are seeing is expected, you are being provided with an alternative to what your camera manufacturer provides.
Have a look at the following article from an independent source.
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml
Lightroom provides you with lots of tools to be creative in generating an alternative rendition of the raw data or also creating your own preset to match the rendition created by your camera.

Import fuji raw files

Is there any way for Aperture 3 to import Fuji RAW files? Lightroom does.

X1 Pro - RAW not yet supported. Understand it takes a little while as it's a new sensor type but Lightroom has caught up now and Aperture is supposed to be a serious photographers' tool; just as the Mac has always been a serious photographer's computer.
Come on Apple....!

What happens to Raw files when importing Raw+JPG from camera to Lightroom Mobile on iPad? Only JPGs are showing up.

Hey I am Brian, and I was wondering how Lightroom mobile works again as in when importing photos directly into iPad using the camera connection kit.? This is for IPad 2. I . Like when importing raw files. now I just did a photo shoot. and I just uploaded them into lightroom 5 on desktop. the raw files are being pushed as smart priviews acroos ipad and iphone. its kinda cool seeing cr2 file showing up on lightroom mobile. when its coming from lightroom 5. but what about coming from camera to ipad.?
I thought you can import a Raw plus jpeg into ipad and it shows up as a jpeg plus raw file. well its not doing that. shows up as just jpeg.
cant wait for next update of lighroom mobile.

With this version of LR Mobile we not support the direct RAW import.

How to import RAW+JPG?

I recently acquired a Canon 30D and am now able to save my images in RAW+JPG format, which gives me the normal RAW (CR2) file and a JPEG file for each capture. This is handy for using the picture styles where the RAW is the normal full capture of colour while the JPEG is processed according to the selected picture style giving, for example, a monochrome image.
When I try to import these from the card the preview displays thumbnails only of the JPEG images but only the CR2 files appear to be imported. However, looking at the folder on disk reveals that the JPEG files have also been imported but are simply not displayed within Lightroom itself.
I could of course work with the JPEG files outside of my Lightroom library but would prefer not to do so. How can I get the JPEG files to become part of the library so that I can work with them in Lightroom?

A search for RAW + JPEG brings up a page load of pertinent entries for me.

RAW + JPG shooting and Lightroom

I would like to know if there are any advantages shooting RAW + JPG on my Nikon D200 then importing into Lightroom? Does Lightroom really work (or is ideal) for processing JPGs?
I am considering shooting RAW + JPG especially of my children due to the amount of photos I take of them and the time it actually takes to process a RAW image. I figure RAW + JPG will give me the choice of having a finished JPG and a RAW image for archival purposes or even additional editing (if necessary). Obviously, Lightroom will know the difference between the two by the extension, but if I want to process JPGs in Lightroom, is there a better alternative for JPG processing...maybe Lightroom, maybe something else?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Rolandy,
Sounds to me like you're suffering the same dilemna as I. I like my Nikon (D80) and want to fire away w/jpgs. Then I try some simple tests and find that there are images that get botched by the in-camera jpg conversion. Here's an example:
http://home.comcast.net/~kmsjss/test/index.html
I shot this pair in NEF+jpg mode (small jpg), with Sun WB, Normal other settings, sRGB IIIa. I ran the NEF into LR and used my presets plus a medium contrast curve and increased exposure (this all took about 3 mouse clicks). That red butler has grey painted details of the lapels, etc. As you can see, they're blown out in the jpg, and not recoverable (I had even more latitude w/the NEF). Also, the color of the butler is Ferrari red (shifted slightly toward yellow). I shot this as a test (forgive my shadow) as the scene has wide brightness range, and red, green, and blue. I've found that Nikon's IIIa color space is vivid, and inaccurate, especially for reds. The Ia space is more accurate, but not vivid. (confirmed by numerous pix, not just this pair).
So, I shoot NEF, use LR w/defined presets, and don't lose sleep over that rare great shot ;) that gets messed up by Nikon jpg conversion. LR is fast w/presets. Import the shoot, select one, Develop it, in Library select all the others, Command-Option-V, and you're in the ballpark w/the other shots. I prefer the colors I'm getting over Nikon's IIIa conversion, and I'm still tweaking the settings...
I'm also a hobbyist, so caveat emptor. I trust you're monitor is calibrated.

Raw imports fail if shooting in RAW+JPG

I've got a canon Xsi and set it to record RAW+JPG for some testing. I installed 10.5.4 which claimed to support RAW for the camera. But I could never get any of the images to import.
I've now figured out what is going on. I was using the USB cable to plug into the camera which uses the Image Capture framework to copy the images to the computer. There is a bug in the image capture framework that it always uses the size of the JPG file when it copies the file over, even when copying the RAW file. This has the effect of truncating the RAW file, causing the RAW conversion to fail.
To work around this problem, use a card reader that causes the card to mount as a disk drive. You'll then get the whole RAW file and the image will import properly.
I've filed a bug.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Also if you just shoot RAW I believe iPhoto will import correctly from the camera. Since iPhoto creates a jpg file for each raw that is imported you will still have both types of files in iPhoto. Since I don't shoot raw I don't know if there's any difference between the jpg created by the camera and the one created by iPhoto when importing RAW only. If you get a chance to test it out and report that would be of interest to others. Thanks for the feedback.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Import only jpg files from a camera that shoots RAW+jpg?

Is there a way to import only jpg files from a camera that shoots both RAW+jpg? I only want the small jpgs copied, not the RAW file. I have the USB adapter and am about to go on vacation and wanted to use my iPad to upload pictures to Facebook on the go so I am going to shoot on my Canon 5D in RAW+jpg. All I want to copy to the iPad are the jpg files. Is there a way to only copy one?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

How to separate RAW+JPG after import?

Greetings:
Is there a way to separate jpg files from a collection of RAW+JPG images after import? They were imported without checking the "treat raw + jpg files separately" box in preferences. Having worked with them, I would like to simply separate out the jpg sidecar files and quickly post the jpgs.
Is there a way to do this? I've tried changing preferences and re-importing from the combined image folder to another folder, but the resulting jpgs don't show up as files in Finder.
Platform: Mac
Software: Lightroom 4.4
Thanks,
Mike

I'm looking for a solid solution within Lightroom too.
Until that time, maybe http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/RawPlusJpegLrPlugin/ can help you?

Aperture 3.3 problems RAW+JPG Import

After the update on Aperture 3.3 I have the following problem: Before import everything looks normal (see picture one). Aperture imports none jpg and Raw files as picture pairs and the Raw import looks completely colour-wrong. Moreover, there is no field more than Raw treatment
Any idea for solving this problem?

Also using a Panasonic (.RW2) I have had exactly the same problem, with exactly the same "colour effects". I did some varitions of importing and observed the following. The test shots were RAW only on a newly initialized SDHC card.
In the import dialog, if RAW only was selected, no previews were shown. Same if JPG only. If RAW & JPG selected, a preview was shown (even there were no jpgs on the card).
No presets, Auto Enhance and several others had no effect (i.e. same error).
The photos imported perfectly using iPhoto, and were then perfect in Aperture.
After thinking some, I suspect the preview image is the problem (I wished I'd exported them as tiff to see, but it was yesterday and I deleted the dodgy imports).
I had some pictures (also .RW2) not in the library at all (I'd been using them to try out LR4). I drag/dropped them from a Finder-folder into Aperture, (not import) by droppong them into the Inspector panael of Aperture; they were perfect BUT said they were RAW/JPG pairs which they were not.
Come on Apple. There was a time when your software was bug-free. Nostalga isn't enough.

How to import jpg in lightroom 5 (cc) without keywords

When I import jpg photos Lightroom automatically also imports all keywords. How can I stop this? The reason I don't want them is that I actually want to re-do all of my keywords/imports. I know it's a big pain, but I feel that it needs to be done, as I've learned how to do things more properly (in theory).
Lightroom 5.3 (creative cloud). Fully updated.
Windows 7.

But doing them via your method (or likely the only method) means that small batches in this way wouldn't work (unless I'm simply misunderstanding, in which case I appologize!). But this way means bringing in a few hundred and getting rid of keywords. At that point there is no use in keywording because after I bring the next bunch in I would have to sort through all the keywords and get rid of them etc.
Batch 1 ... we agree this works, all imported keywords are deleted, then you add your new keywords
Batch 2 ... you just remove the keywords from the newly imported photos via the method I described. You do this by selecting the newly imported photos in the Catalog panel on the left, click on Most Recent Import (if it is not already selected, I think it might be selected by default after you do an import), then Ctrl/Cmd-A to select all of these photos, and then perform this operation. Only keywords from batch 2 will be deleted. The keywords that you added in Batch 1 will not be affected. Then add the new keywords to Batch 2.
Batch 3 ... same as batch 2 ...

How do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.
