Importing just JPEGS

Quick question. Is there a way to import just the JPEG's if your shooting using RAW + JPEG (med)? For many events, I shoot RAW plus JPEG's. When I go to import my photos, it grabs both the Raw Files and the JPEG files, unless I select each JPEG by itself. While this is OK if you only has a few photos, when you're shooting like 500 or more shots and you just want the JPEG's into IPhono or Aperture, it's very time consuming. Any thoughts?
eric

iPhoto does not offer that. You can select only the JPEGs or you can use image capture to download just the JPEGs to disk and import from there - or you can shoot JPEG only - if you are not going to use the RAW why not eliminate it at the source and save memory card space for more photos?
You also can make a suggestion to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Importing older .jpegs, not getting renamed and not able to find in catalog

    First, I love lightroom. I've been knee deep for 2 weeks and am over 33,000 photos as of this writing.
    I am noticing the following when I attempt to import older .jpegs:
    At import, I specify to convert to DNG, I know this doesn't work for .jpegs, to add to catalog, to put into files by shooting date, to rename to my custom naming scheme, to backup when importing, etc. I press import.
    So when the import begins, all the thumbs have the error in the top right corner, "the photo xyz could not be used because the original file could not be found".
    A folder for the date is created in the catalog but has 0 files in it.
    So when I click in the prompt to locate the file, it takes me to the folder, and I notice that the file is there however it has not been renamed. It retains its original name from pre import.
    The only files I've noted this happening were shot in 2000-2001 with a Sony DSC-S70 camera. I went to look at the original files in mac viewer and they appear to be fine, smaller than today's files, around 512k, 1280x960.
    Again, I love Lightroom, so much so, that I've spent the last 3 days, working 12-14 hours a day getting my digital life in order.
    This is the only kink I've experienced so far in LR.
    So to summarize, during import, the folder is created, the old file namess are copied into it, but in the catalog the new file name is referenced, so when you look in the newly created folder, there are files there, but not with the new names, with the old names, and the file sizes are very small, like 32k, which tells me they aren't the files, but thumbnails of some sort?
    I've tried different ways of importing, not renaming files, using original file structure, etc, but nothing has worked.
    My theories... Are .jpegs before a certain date not supported? Are these files somehow corrupt? Are they locked?
    Thank you very much for your help, when this first started happening, I just deleted the folders that had 0 images in them. Then when I started noticing a pattern, I made notes of the folders I deleted so I can go back in and fill the gaps in, and since then, I've begun tagging all the files that are having this problem since I figured out what was going on so I can hopefully go back in and remedy.
    I am using an imac with 4 gig of RAM and LR 2.
    Sincerely,

    ok, deleted all the problem images from the catalog and it is much more stable. I tried crashing it, and it held firm. This is very encouraging.
    Took a look at the suspect files and folders.
    Did what you said, copied into the folder, and then imported without doing anything, they came in fine.
    Tried importing and renaming, for some reason still not working.
    Living and learning, when importing thousands of images in hundreds of folders, I should have added the step of looking into each folder before importing. I didn't do this. I only looked at the previews in Lr import. When I went back in and looked in the folders, there are several junk files, thumb creation files from other browser programs, html files, other various files, etc. Lr skipped the majority of these junk files, but a few came in and actually caused Lr to crash immediately when the came into view on my monitor.
    Were I starting from scratch, I would open each folder, organize it by type and size and then go through with the lightroom import portion.
    The way I did it, I imported a lot of low res cropped that I used for web and email, and now they are in my Lr catalog and look like duplicates.
    Now that the former prob images are in the Lr dbase, should I try and rename?

  • Can't import a jpeg file to iPhoto

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble importing a jpeg file from another user to my iPhoto. We are both admins, file sharing is on for both users, read and write is on for both users. (I toggled file sharing on/off to see if it would update, and no changes).
    In the file sharing, the shared folders are documents, pictures, and downloads folders. The jpeg file is filed on the desktop and in the pictures folder. When I do a File/Import to Library, and search for the jpeg file, it comes up greyed out.
    My last option is that I emailed the jpeg from the other user's iPhoto to myself. I was going to go into my email and see if I could save the jpeg and try to import it that way?
    Any suggestions? Thanks! 

    Have you tried just dragging the file into the open iPhoto Library window? What version of iPhoto are you using? 
    What color mode (RGB, grayscale, CMYK, etc.) is it and what color profile is embedded (sRGB, Adobe RGB, Dot Gain 20%-grayscale, CMYK)?

  • Develop settings when importing RAW + jpeg

    When importing NEF files from my D700 I apply the landscape sharpening pre-set and am happy with the results.  However on my Fuji X20 I import RAW+jpeg rather than just RAW, in this situation if I use the landscape sharpening pre-set sharpening is applied to the jpeg as well as the RAW resulting in the already sharpened in camera jpeg being grossly over sharpened.  If on the other hand I use none for the develop pr-set no sharpening or noise reduction is applied to the jpeg and a minimum amount applied to the RAW file, more or less what I want except I want the higher landscape sharpening applied to the RAW files.  Is there anyway to modify the built in pre-sets so that they only get applied to the RAW files when importing RAW+jpeg pairs?
    Dave Rosser

    I believe the answer is No, you cannot apply a preset at Import time based on file type. 
    What you can do is after you import, filter on File Type and set it to JPG and apply another preset that changes the sharpening settings of the filtered set of files, then go back and turn off the filter and work with both sets of images as you want.
    To filter by File Type, you need to go to Library Grid, enable the filter bar with the backslash \ key if necessary, then select Metadata, and either change one of the existing filter columns to say File Type or add a new File Type column.
    Once you have created and applied the filter, you can save it as a filter preset that can be applied by the filter preset selector at the very right and just above the thumbnail strip at the bottom, even in Develop mode.
    You might make one for raw and for jpg in case you want to swap between the two, and if you shoot JPGs with more than one camera model, you can add the camera model to the filter criteria.

  • How to import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

    how do  i import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

    chuckx
    Just for background information, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    The generalized answer is Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photo to the Expert view Timeline.
    But all that can generate a mountain of questions about the photo and the project into which it will be going
    a. what are the pixel dimensions of the photo - will or will I not have to resize or crop/resize the photo for the project
    b. is the photo going into a project that will consist of photos and videos
    c. if video inclusion, that leads to questions about the properties of the video so that you can set the project preset to match those
    d. that leads to questions on the best size to have your photo before you import them into this project.
    So, one simple question generates a lot of side questions.
    Please let us know how we might help to sort out the details for your Premiere Elements workflow and its source media.
    Thank you.

  • LR 4 Not Importing RAW+JPEG

    Here's a strange one.
    Currently running Mac OS X 10.7.3, LR 3.6 installed as well as the 30-day demo of the release version of LR 4.0.  Importing from a camera-formatted Sandisk 8GB Extreme Pro (45MB/sec)
    Camera - Sony A77.
    Problem - Importing RAW+JPEG using LR4 only imports the RAW, not the JPEG.  I've already checked "Treat JPEGs as separate..." option in LR 4, yet when I pull up the import dialog about half the time I simply don't see the JPEGs next to my ARW files...only the ARW.  All import sorting options are off.
    I can then simultaneously open LR 3 and upon attempted import, I'm presented with all files just fine.
    Back to LR4 again, still only the ARW, even after "quitting" the app and reopening.
    It gets stranger, though - As I was typing this, I went ahead and tried to import again in LR4 and THIS time JPEGs are showing up along side RAW.  I even double-checked to make sure I was using LR4's window and now LR 3.
    Anyone else having this issue??

    Bumping this thread because I'm also having the problem. LR4 on Lion 10.7.3, never used the LR4b release. Only the first 10-20 images come in as NEF+JPG and after that I get only JPGs. Just imported six 8GB cards without realizing the problem, since it never used to be one...
    My workaround has been to manually transfer files off the card into the destination, and then 'Synchronize Folder..." in LR. The import dialoge that pops up has no problem showing all the files correctly, and they import without problems. This leads me to believe the bug has something to do with importing directly from the card or camera.
    I understand any major new release is bound to have some bugs, but this, in conjunction with LR4 crashing any time I try to print, is making the newest release pretty useless for me. The Library and Print modules account for 85% of my time in LR, with the Develop module accounting for the rest (Maps/Books/Slideshows/Web are never opened, ever). In the most abstract sense, LR is made for streamlining the input and output of images, and neither of those processes are working for me.

  • Aperture Import Window shuts on import of JPEGs. Won't import JPEGs HZ35W.

    Just got a new camera, Samsung HZ35W aka WB650. Files are on SD card, and I am trying to import them from the SD card into Aperture 3.1.1:
    - camera is shooting JPEG only, no RAW
    - I can see the JPEG files in Finder and in Aperture
    - do not import duplicates is not checked
    - import JPEG only files is checked
    - this camera has geo tagging capabilities
    When I click import checked, the import window just shuts down and no import occurs. I have just imported from my Canon 5D card so I know import works. If I move the files to the Mac HD and try and import the file, the same thing happens - the import window just shuts with no error message.
    I can import these JPEGs into iPhoto with no issue. I have tried importing just one or two of the files, but same result. I am doing something dumb? Why is the import window just shutting like that?
    Thanks!

    OK, I shut down Aperature and restarted and it's working now...

  • Importing ONLY jpegs into a PSE 12 Catalog

    I have just installed PSE 12 and would like to know if it is possible to import ONLY jpegs when creating a catalog?

    If you mix file types in the same folder structure you'll first need to make sure they are not in any 'Watched Folder' lists (only applicable if you're using PSE in Windows).
    Then the simplest method would be to use your computers search function for *.jpg, select them all and drag them into the Organizer window.
    Note though that the Organizer does not store the images, only links to wherever they are on your hard disk, so if your intent is to save disk space the difference between cataloging all media types and just jpegs is negligible.
    Cheers,

  • LR4 Importing random jpeg and raw

    I've had LR 4 for a week now and have a serious problem with the import.
    I am usually shooting raw+jpeg so I quickly can send my clients some of the photos on location.
    When I get to my office and start importing from the memory card the first 200 images or so will work fine, and show up in LR as raw+jpeg.
    After that LR starts importing some of the files as jpeg only - seems to be completely random.
    The biggest problem is that earlier both jpeg and raw would be copied to the library. Now that's not happening. If a file is imported as jpeg it is not copied to the hard drive.
    They're just gone - and I deleted the memory card for another job before I found out about this. Nothing to be done about that, and luckily I still have enough shots to get the job done.
    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
    I'm using a 5dMKII and a 7d - same happens with both cameras.
    I use an iMac with OSX Lion.

    I'm having the same problem, and I'm curious to see if there will be a solution. I am also working with a 5dMKII and OSX Lion on a MacBook Pro.

  • Importing RAW+JPEG then deleting JPEG later?

    I shoot RAW+JPEG, primarily because I can upload the JPEGs easily for family to see (lots of pictures of our toddler) and I can keep the RAWs around for more involved editing. Importing as RAW+JPEG w/ JPEGs as masters is great since I can tag, rate, etc before uploading, but once I've got the JPEGs online, I really have no need for them. So...
    *What's the best way to get rid of JPEG masters (and obviously change the RAWs to masters) after I'm finished with them?*

    Nikon, in its infinite wisdom, has elected not to share the encoding methods for any of its sensor data with third-party software companies, with the exception of white balance. As a result, the "first look" at any Nikon RAW file that's not opened in their own software is pretty bad (presets make it better, but still tend to fall short). That's not to say Nikon software is required to make a RAW look gorgeous, but the default rendering by Nikon software is pretty darn amazing given the complete lack of work needed. Since the JPEG's use these defaults, they're equally amazing. On the other hand, shooting RAW then exporting to JPEG in Aperture means vastly inferior shots "out of the box" since aperture can't decode anything but white balance. I could certainly make them better, but I really just want an "OK Mom, here're pictures of your grandson" solution that requires no additional time at the computer for me. Since the JPEGs are "perfect" to begin with, begin able to tag the photos, upload the JPEGs with keywords, etc intact, then delete them and save the RAWs for more involved work later, is ideal.
    *So, how do I import RAW+JPEG and later delete the JPEGs and make the RAWs the new masters?*

  • How can I import only jpeg and not jpeg plus RAW into Photos on iPad?

    I capture both on my camera.  I do post-shoot processing on computer (Lightroom/Photoshop) but want to see larger previews on iPad (the "new" version with retina display) than my camera LCD allows.  I am using the Apple hadware adaptor to load from an SD card.  The RAW files are taking up way too much memory on the iPad--it seems Photos imports both files at once.  I can't figure our how to tell it to import only the smaller JPEG files.
    If there is a better App than Photos for this, please advise.  Note I will not be doing any serious editing on the iPad.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    It doesn't matter what App you use it will copy all the photos from the SD card.
    But I have a workaround;
    All you do is import your JPEG+RAW images using the camera connection kit.
    Go to Albums in the Photo App, choose Change, Choose New Album, give name, choose Last import, choose Select all photos, choose Finish.
    Now go back into the photos app and delete all the photos from your "Last import" Album. It will say that it is going to delete them everywhere but really it doesnt because it leaves the JPEG in the new album. The result is that you will only have your JPEGs that you imported in your camera roll and the RAW images get deleted.
    First try out before you delete photos from SD card!

  • Problem importing some jpeg images

    **** all
    For some reason I cant import selected jpeg images, about 75% of them are grayed out for some reason, the images are jpegs I have collected on line and are the only images I seem to have a problem with.
    Any idea way ?
    Thanks

    yes I have the actual image, I found the problem .
    they where all grayed out cause of the image size, I downloaded desktop images.
    I'm glad I worked it out cause I'm using these images as backgrounds and, have 487 of them. I ran them through easybatchphoto and resized the width on all of them to 800. now they all work fine.

  • Lightroom will not let me import photos from either camera or desktop. I can see them in the preview part of Lightroom but when I click import, just says they can't be read.  HELP!

    Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read.  SO FRUSTRATING.

    F. McLion wrote:
    You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
    Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
    If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
    I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder).  Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

  • After importing my JPEGs, the matching RAW-Files aren't found! Why?

    I shot JPEG+RAW-Couples with my Canon EOS 450D (aka Rebel XSi) and imported the JPEGs into Aperture 3.1.3. When I wanted to import the matching RAW-Files later, Aperture didn't recognize one of them. I didn't change anything at the files. Importing both as a couple works without any problems.
    What's the mistake? Can I fix it or is it a bug?
    Thanks in advance!

    Users have reported problems with Aperture when Projects hold too many Images.  How many is "too many"?  No one knows -- I keep all projects under 1,000 Images, and even then very rarely go over 500.
    Projects should be subsets of your Library.
    Aperture was designed around the general topology of "one Project per shoot".  From the User Manual:
    "Projects: The basic containers used in Aperture to organize images by shoot."
    I have found that sticking to this topology seems to keep gremlins at bay.
