Importing High Res. JPG with RAW?

Is there any reason to import JPG images with RAW images? I sometimes shoot high res. JPG with RAW just so I have some high res. JPGs for temporary use immediately after a shoot and for archival purposes, but I can't think of a reason to import JPGs into Lightroom when there is a RAW. Thanks for any clarification.
Dilip

with one option it let's you know the jpg exists, but you can do absolutely nothing with it, even delete it easily from within lr. The other treats them both seperately, and all controls can work on either file. To each their own I suppose but I see no compelling reason NOT to import them as seperate files, it only adds confusion to the managing of digital assets for me, as lr provides no means of seperating the combo designation after import.
Many times I leave camera on raw+jpg mode even for snapshots, and decide the jpg is good enough and I don't desire to do any processing on the Raw. Other times the raw is easily superior, and the jpg is garbage. Treating them seperate puts me back in control of what I use and how. But, as I said different ways of working call for different ways of handling it; I'm glad we at least get an option to do it either way.

EPS to high res JPG

I am trying to write a script that can batch EPS to high res JPG (20 MP and over). I can set this up basically, but I have run in to a few problems.
The maximum scaling in jpeg export options is 776%, but some of my EPS files are very small in size - so 776% does not create 20MP rasters.
So, I need to find a way to enlarge both the vector and the artboard to a larger size before exporting for jpeg. I have no idea how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello [Jongware]
I'm slightly confused.
e.g. 4500 pixels x 4500 pixels are 20,250,000 pixels. Thats IMHO more than 20 MP, or not?

LR 1.3 Mac not Importing JPGS with RAWs

I'm trying to import both RAWs and JPEGS at the same time and LR 1.3 is not doing so well. With previous versions I was able to import both a raw file (converting it to DNG in the importing) and bring along the accompanying JPEG (as a sidecar) at the same time. Now, 1.3 is no longer doing that. I can either import a RAW file only, or treat the additional JPEG as a separate image. This is no good. I need to import both RAW and JPEG at the same time and have LR rename the files (both RAW and JPEG) with the same names. What happened?

Yeah. I've double checked this several times. When I used to import as DNGs, I would get the JPGs copied into the folder that I designated and, in LR, the name above the thumbnail would be something like "D80_0001.dng+JPEG." So, I know that whatever I was able to do then is broken now.
The only solution I can come up with is several (tedious) steps:
1 - Import NEFs as DNGs. This I can do by turning off the "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos" in the Prefs. When the Import box opens, it shows only the NEFs. Then I start importing.
2 - Go back to the Prefs and turn the above feature on again.
3 - Go back to Import and select all the JPGs from amongst the JPGs and NEFs in the folder. Then import them into the same folder the DNGs were imported to. This way, the JPGs can have the same name as their DNG counterparts.
4- Go back into the LR library and open the folder with all the images and selectively delete all the JPGs from the library. You see, I don't want the JPGs in the library; I just want the RAW files. But I do want the JPGs and RAW files stored together on my hard drive.
Please, can this be fixed. This has put a serious crimp into my workflow. You know what it's like to have to selectively choose JPGs from NEFs in a folder containing 900+ images!?

How to supplant JPG with RAW file weeks later?

Hi there-
When the Canon S95 came out LR3 didnt recognize or import the RAW .cr2 files. When using the camera I would take photos in both RAW and JPG, use LR3 to import the JPGs and manually copy the .CR2s to a separate directory. I would then tag and otherwise work on the JPGs in my main photo directory in LR3, while the CR2s gathered dust in a different directory.
Now that LR3 does support .CR2, and I have a slow day, is there an easy way to replace all of those JPGs with the relevant RAW file? What happens to the current XMP data, as ideally with the exception of the file extension they will be named the same.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Another way that will recover your develop settings too: Note: I've never tried this - may have missed something, but in case you're game..
1. Save all jpeg metadata using Ctrl/Cmd-S (saves develop settings too).
2. Use exiftool to extract all xmp from jpegs to xmp file making sure it will have the same base name as your CR2s.
The command is something like: exiftool -xmp -b my.jpg > my.xmp
3. Import the CR2s, or if already imported, do a 'Read Metadata'.
That will transfer all settings from jpegs to CR2 but will make them look unsharp and dull, due to differences in default settings for the two (and in-camera settings). Plus, camera profiles and white balance will not carry over, so you'll have to redo those manually. Also, you may have to set the tone curve to medium instead of linear - not sure about that one.
Then use DevAdjust to adjust the following settings relatively:
Sharpening +25
Sharpen Detail +25
Brightness +50
Contrast +25
Color NR 25 (can be set absolutely)
Then use CollectionPreseter to set luminance noise reduction based on ISO.
They should look about the same now, since all settings have the same weight, just different starting points, for everything except temperature and tint.
And you'll probably want to enable the profile based lens corrections for the CR2s.
Maybe use compare view to see how you did and fine tune...
If you dont have a lot of jpegs or didnt make many adjustments this may be more trouble than worth, but in case it helps...

Replacing JPG with RAW

I exported a bunch of raw files to JPG with some other raw converter, before getting aperture.
In my main drive I use the JPGs, and that is what I have imported in my Aperture library (used from their current location).
I have kept the raw files; since I would like to do some tweaking on these now, it would obviously be best if I worked with the raw files.
Can I somehow replace the JPGs with the RAWs and tell aperture to look at the RAW as a master file?
Since I have a lot of keywording, places and faces on these, I would prefer not to input everyting again...
Thanks,
Harry

You can import the RAW+JPEG pair and use the JPEGs for now. If/when Apple supports the RAW files, you can just tell Aperture to re-render the RAW files and use those.

.jpgs/.pngs no longer save as high res, previous high res .jpg/.pngs show up as medium res

I need some serious HELP! All of a sudden, without doing anything that I know of, my saved exported .jpgs/.pngs are no longer saving as high res. Also, when I pull up high res images (I know they are high res), they now show as medium res in Illustrator. I've used these program for a very long time, and I have no clue why this started a few days ago? I didn't even realize it was converting older files to medium res until today.
Any help would be most appreciated! I have never encountered this problem before, and I've created thousands of images for clients web/print.
Thanks so much!

Tara,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
I believe 5) is least likely to be relevant.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Importing camera picture setting with raw file

Is there a way to import my raw file with the camera picture settings from my camera. I use a personally edited version of the camera vivid from my d300. The files are imported without the settings and get set to adobe standard in my camera calibration. I use lightroom 4 with cs5 64 bit.

No is the short answer. Adobe and Nikon are not the same company so don’t have access to the other’s intellectual property and don’t know what the other does to decode the raw data, so neither can be expected to respect the other’s raw engine’s adjustment settings. Your question is the same as asking if Nikon software could use the Adobe XMP data to duplicate how things look in Lightroom.
The DNG Profile Editor is a way for you to tweak the existing camera profiles to your liking in Adobe products.

Highly terrifying activity with raw files

OK so I am checking out my new Panasonic L1 in hopes to justify my acquisition. Shot a variety of pics around the house on this cold yet sunny day, some jpegs, some raw. Viewing them in Lightroom beta 4.1 some raw files look fine, some are blacked out. And some of these had an image originally, then became black. No file movement, no adjustments made, as is, as imported.
Then I checked them with some other apps that could normally read these files, including Photoshop - no good. Reinstalled the raw convertor and repaired permissions on my drive. Still no good.
But they originally were viewable - for an instant - in Lightroom!
Wierd.
-David

Don, Don't be so cryptic.. New forum and all that ;) In Export choose sRGB/700X700 Quality 50 or 60. in Post processing choose your mail app. It won't be there first time so you need to put a shortcut/alias in your Export Actions folder. this is located in: Mac ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe Lightroom/ Where "~" is your user directory. This is ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/ in V 1 PC C:\Documents and Settings\<your_username>\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\ In V1 you can save it as an export preset an have one click access to it.

PSE 8 and high res compatibility with W7

I have just upgraded from PSE 5 to 8. I am running on a laptop with W7 and 1920 x 1200 res screen. In order to make menus and text legible, the system is set at 150% in Control Panel. This seems to work fine with Office applications and other programmes. Unfortunately, although the Organiser page is ok too, the Editor and Quick Editor page menus are scaled right down. The menus and icons are so small it is difficult to navigate and wierdly the curser appears as three identical images in certain features. I have tried reducing the 150 to 125% but then the Organiser is affected and there is little improvement in Editor except that the curser shows normally. I had experienced the same problem in PSE5 but thought it was a W7 thing and that the upgrade would sort it out. Feeling poorer and no further forward. Any help would be much appretiated.

I had the same problem.
I changed the size to custom and went up to 145% and the cursors are still ok.
Someone on the forum said it is a bug and the cursors won't work correctly at 150%

How can I import High res graphics from Photoshop?

I've figured out how to save the title graphic as a channel and as a tiff, then drag it into imovie but the resolution un-attractively low.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you select a bunch of layers in Photoshop, you can right click and make them into a Smart Object. It differs from using a Group, because the original is always kept in memory, so if you were to make it very very small, and then make it big again, you would not lose quality. You can do the same thing with a single layer for the same reason.
To edit a SO, double click it, and it will open in another Photoshop window. Make your changes, save them, and the original will be updated.
Photoshop CC 14.2 has added ‘linked SOs’ which are close to a holy grail in Photoshop, because a linked SO can be used in multiple image documents, and they will all update (when next opened) if the master SO is edited. That is a major new feature and much appreciated.
Adobe Dynamic Links are similar to the right click you used in InDesign. Items in a Premiere Pro timeline can be very easily edited in their original, or relevant Adobe application, directly from the PremPro timeline. This would be Photoshop, Audition, After Effects, Encore… It’s powerful stuff, and a huge time saver.

Saving AI files as high res JPG issue

I'm not understanding why when saving a 300 DPI AI file to a JPG, it's saving as 72 DPI. All of my setings are correct and prior to CC, I've never had this issue.

Just using Export to save as a JPG. My settings show CMYK and 300 DPI but when I view the file in Bridge, it shows 72 DPI.

Applescript to take a folder of pdfs and create jpgs with high resolution

Hello,
I have a script that creates pdfs from InDesign and puts them in a specific folder on my desktop.
Can someone help me with a script that would let me select that folder of PDF's and create a high res jpg and place them into another folder on my desktop?
Ultimately, I would love it to be one script in the future, but will stay module for now as I am learning.
thanks!!

Copying keywords from jpg to raw

I imported all my jpgs with keywords into lightroom 5. I'm now thinking I will no longer make a jpg as part of my workflow and just keep the keywords in the raw files. Is there an easy way to copy all keywords from 1234.jpg to 1234.tif (raw file). Many thanks.

To do all at once, you'll need a plugin, e.g.
* Syncomatic (John Beardy)
* RawPlusJpeg (Rob Cole)
* Relative Antics (Rob Cole)
Internet search will show 'em up pretty quick.
