Importing multiple RAW files as layers into PSE9

Hey,
Im a newbie to PSE. I am spoiled from the CS5 trial and am already disapointed with the features of the cheap PSE9.
I haven't been able to import multiple RAW images into PSE as layers. The only I found to do it is to open all RAW images and then make new layers, then copy and paste into new layers.... I used Bridge when I had the CS5 trial. Is there another way? Do I need Lightroom too?
Also, I have yet to find a way to "auto" align layers. Is this another feature that was cut.
Thanks in advance for the help!

I think I solved my problem....
I opened all photos in PSE then I used the "Move Tool" and then dragged each photo onto the first image in the "Project Bin" area of the PSE window.
I'm interested in Plug-ins. Where can I find them? I still have not solved the align issue....other than manual aligning...
Thx for the help all!

How to import raw files from canon550D into PSE9 ?

I have just purchased PSE9. I have downloaded
Camera Raw 5.7 and 6.2 update and installed both...but still I cannot see/open my raw files from canon
550D - any suggestions...??

If you right click on one of your Canon CR2 files and choose open with PSE9 it should automatically open in camera raw; you then click open image to send into the Editor.
If not working, you may have inadvertently installed 5.7. I would suggest you try again with installing the latest plug-in which is 6.2, and follow the instructions carefully as you must only have one file in the camera raw plug-in folder. The links are for PSE8 but will work with PSE9

How do I import a pdf file with layers into Motion 5?

In earlier version of Motion, you could import a pdf file with all layers or even select layers you wanted to import. You did this by dragging the pdf file into the project and holding it until a popup appeard providing you choices for how you wanted to complete the import. In Motion 5.0.1 however, no such popup appears and it imports the file as a flat image file. Any ideas how to change this pelase?
Thanks
Greg

Thanks Ben & Praveen. In FCP7 It was possible to import PDF files and as you did the import, make choices regarding layers you wished to import. FCPX appears to import PDFs but only as flattened files. I'll try keeping the file in PSD format and importing as you recommend.

Not opening multiple RAW files

If i open a Raw file in Bridge, it opens up perfectly. Also my jpegs and tiff open in RAW, so no problem there. The problem is, that I cannot open multiple Raw files from Bridge into Raw with the option "open in Camera Raw" So the shortcut cmd+R ( I am on a mac) does not work. It says that Raw has to be opened at least once. I have been using Raw for years now so it has been opened multiple times.
I Can not seem to find a solution. I would really like to open up multiple edited Raw files at once, and in Raw give the order to rename them into JPEG. If you do that, you see Photoshop CC and a window that says how many convertions are left. So far so good... but before, I was able to open up some new raw files in Camera Raw without having to wait for Photoshop to convert everything. Now I have to wait for a long time before I can make my new Edits. Can somebody please help me?
I am using all updated software.
Ben

Hello SSPRENGEL,
Thank you very much for your reply. My apologies for the mess up with RAW and ACR naming.
The situation is, that I can not open any file with CMd-R. I can open single files with CMD-O. But I need to open multiple files at ones with CMD-R. It used to work good.
The problem is, That I am in the business of school photography. I take the pictures as RAW files on an Nikon camera (nef) After I ajust all the pictures, I have to rename all of them to JPEG, just to get them online.
I used to do that with ACR. But now the problem is, if I open a lot of picures with CMD-O, It opens up very good in ACR and I still can give the command to save all of these as JPEG. It workt great, but I have to wait a looooooong time before I can open up my next batch of pictures and start to adjust those. Normally, it would save the files as JPEG and I was able to open up a new batch of pictures in ACR right away. That saves me A LOT OF TIME. This only works if you can open the files with CMS-R. Strange...
I updated my I-mac to 10.9.1 so I see that is not the newest. PS-CC is 14-2-1 x64 and I am using the beta ACR for now (8.4)
I just tried to open a RAW file in photoshop with the normal open command and it lauches ACR perfectly. But again from within Adobe bridge I still get the same error about needing to open a qualifying product at least once.
Stange isn't it?
Thank you very much for your time!

Problem importing NEF raw files in PSE 11

In the past week I have become unable to import Nikon raw files (NEF format) into PSE 11 editor. I seem to have the latest version of PSE 11 and the latest camera raw plug-in (7.4). All was working fine. I now get an error message "unable to use the camera raw plu-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements".
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks.

Did you update via the Help> Updates menu option or by some other means?
Search your computer to make sure you only have the one copy of 'Camera RAW.8bi'. On my windows 7 64-bit it is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi and is 24,719,736 bytes.
Are these NEF files from a newer Nikon camera? If so which one? Each camera has it's own NEF format (although the error message you get does not suggest this would be the problem)?
Cheers,
Neale

How to import multiple DNG files into Premiere

I want to import multiple raw DNG files from a 2.5K blackmagic camera. Each clip is recorded in a separate folder:
I can import each clip separately by selecting its folder and clicking on a DNG file, but -for obvious practical reasons- I would like to import ALL clips at once. However, when I try to do so, Premiere does not import the clips. Instead, it imports each folder, and within them there is not one single clip, but as many clips as DNG files compounded that particular clip. In other words, if the clip had ONE HUNDRED DNG files, Premiere imports that clip ONE HUNDRED times, not just once:
In this image, each file contains the ENTIRE clip, not just a DNG file. Is there a workaround for this? Otherwise, DNG files must be imported one by one, which of course makes the workflow much more difficult.

Jim, when selecting the blackmagic2 level, the only available option is File Directory:
This doesn't happen with RED files, where you can choose between File Directory and RED from the first level. Unlike blackmagic's DNG clips, RED files can be imported all at once, so maybe that's the whole problem:
And yes, Source Settings are available for RED files, whereas they are not for DNG (only basic information, not raw manipulation):

Importing RAW files from iPad into Aperture

Hello,
While on the go, I used the camera connection kit to import some RAW files (.NEF from a Nikon D300s) into my iPad directly from the SD card. The files where correctly imported, they display perfectly in the iPad screen and I was surprised to see no lagging when zooming such big files.
Now the bad thing. When I got back home I tried to import such files into a new Aperture project. When I connect the iPad to my mac, although it takes some time, all the pictures are correctly displayed, but when I hit the import button, aperture keeps turning the task indicator wheel without ever importing a single picture! Cancelling the import task does not work and the only way to get Aperture to work again is by force quitting it.
Any ideas?
Ps.: all my software is updated and running the latest versions (Aperture 3, mac OS X 10.6.4, etc)
Message was edited by: andreambrosio

The reason why the iPad shows the images so quick is because it is not showing the actual raw data like Aperture does. Instead the iPad does the same as the camera does when showing the photo on your LCD. Each RAW file has an embedded JPG preview. The iPad (and your camera) show that preview image. There is no raw processing happening.
Not sure why copying or importing to Aperture causes you trouble. As soon as I plug my iPad into the USB to my PC it shows up as a folder. I can copy the files from there to my computer.

How to import only RAW files from camera?

I also shoot with both RAW and JPEG, such that I have access to JPEGs to share with people immediately before post-processing. But I only want to use RAW in my Lightroom flow.
When pictures are already in Lightroom, I use filters in the library view to show only RAW, or only JPEG, or both (by applying a filter on the file extension).
But how do I set a filter before importing? I would like to import only the RAW pictures into lightroom, but I don't see a way of doing that using Lightroom's import from camera card features. I either have to let lightroom import all, and then remove the JPEGs, or use Windows explorer to copy over just RAW files and then use Lightroom to import.
I would like to use Lightroom in just one step to import all RAW files (but only RAW files) from the camera card directly to the library. A file filter in the import dialog seems like an easy feature to implement.

Another reason to have a filter in import is then you can then apply a preset to the RAW files only. At present if I want to apply a preset to my RAW files on import I have to apply it to the JPEGs too as there is no way of being selective on import. I then have to remove the preset from the JPEGs, which is a pointless and unnecessary task, whilst LR is busy rendering the unwanted look.
I shoot both file types on one cameras as the JPEG gives me a look that is very hard to replicate with the RAW files and on another camera I use a picture style to remind me of what I was looking for when shooting. Again as it's a custom style it's very hard to replicate the look in LR from the RAW file.
Though a major reason I shoot both JPEGs + RAW is that I was asked by a client a few years back, when I only shot RAW for all the shots as JPEGs to select down from. As this was a 4 week feature film shoot it took several days constant rendering out of Photoshop to output the JPEGs. This was just before LR and even then, LR would still take considerable time to produce all those exported files, though a lot quicker than PS I would hope. So now I always shoot JPEGs as well so I never have to waste time outputting JPEGs for a client to do a rough select.

How to import camera raw-files as DNG-files using AppleScript action in the Aperture's Import menu - does such a script exist?

I'm looking for a smart way to set up an Aperture 3 workflow - where my propriatary camera raw files get converted into DNG-files when I import my files into Aperture. Aperture's Import menu allows for an Apple-Script to come into action as part of the Import settings. I was thinking if it would be possible for an AppleScript, as part of the import routine, to automatically send the files through the DNG converter app and back into Aperture? So that when the files were finally imported into Aperture they would be DNG-files?
Greatful for any answers and ideas!

Thanks for a swift reply Frank! I will have to use the Adobe DNG converter then, prior to importing into Aperture.
Yes, OSX does support my Nikon D600 NEF-files. But once in a while I want to be able to use features found in other raw apps, within my overall Aperture workflow, but without ending with a TIFF or other 'destructable' file format when continuing my workflow back in Aperture. This should be possible using the routine described here: http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2013/8/28/guest-post-catapult-and-aperture-3. html
In my case the problem is that my "old" CS5 version of Photoshop cannot be updated to read D600 files (even though CS5 is not even 3 years old) - I would have to buy a newer version of Photoshop and I have absolutely no intention of doing that. And so I have to find a raw file fomat that is readable by both apps.
On a second note there is a discussion about what raw format is likely to 'live the longest' - also be accessable in 20-30 years. Some say that DNG stand a better chance here than propriatary ones. But I don't know about that and that is not my issue here.

What camera are you using? The RAW support is camera specific. Have you installed the latest Digital Camera Raw update 6.01?
If you are already running the latest raw support, try to reinstall:
To reinstall you need to exchange files in the System Library. So be sure to backup your computer before patching the system library.
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password.
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.
If the current support is still causing the problems after reinstalling, try to downgrade to Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.07

When I import a text file(comma separated )into a numbers spread sheet all the data goes into one column. Why does the text not go into separate columns based on the commas.

When I import a text file(comma separated) into a numbers spreadsheet all the data goes into one column instead of individual columns based on the comma separators. Excel allows you to do this during the import.. Is there a way to accomplish this in numbers without opening it in Excel and the importing into Numbers.

Your user info says iPad. This is the OS X Numbers forum. Assuming you are using OS X… Be sure the file is named with a .csv suffix.
(I don't have an iPad, so I don't know the iOS answer.)

Import Multiple XSD Files

Is it not possible to import multiple xsd files. If a single file is used there is no problem but when the second import statement is added, it will not compile.
It complains that it cannot find one of the element types. Removing the second import it compiles fine.
I also tried it using seperate schema tags for each import.
<types>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <import namespace="http://TargetNamespace.com/ftpadapter"
           schemaLocation="delimited_2.txt"/>
   <import namespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/FTP_Test"
           schemaLocation="FTP_Test.xsd"/>
</schema>
</types>

It is possible to add multiple XSD's in WSDL.
1. Did u add different namespace alias's for these two in <definitions> section ??
2.How you are referring the element which it can't find in the wsdl ?
Try this to identify the issue
"remove the first xsd and use the second one alone. "
If this works then it eliminates that there is an issue with xsd.
Thanks,
Satish

Importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6 when it worked fine on ios5. Anyone have a solution?

I have been importing cr2 raw files to my iPad using ios 5 but importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6. Sees files in camera but when import stops it fails with an exclamation mark in red circle. Anyone have a solution?

Don't know if you care anymore or it applies, but I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
- Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
- Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
- Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
- Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
- Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
- Reinstall all your apps and content
- Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too. It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad. Had to start clean.
It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved. This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.

Can I update elements 11 to import olympus RAW files from my new OM-D M5 mk 2?

I have bought a new Olympus OMD E-M mark 2. Great, but my copy of Elements 11 won't import its RAW files. I have tried to instal RAW 6.4.1 and RAW 7.1 patches but the installer just says it's the wrong version even though I downloaded from a Elements page. I've just re-installed the Application Manager and that didn't help. Please can you help me find the right patch and get it working?
Thanks

No you can't update PSE11. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
