Importing Raw and Jpeg from Leica D-Lux 4

Hi All,
If Apple ever address the D-Lux 4 issue then I will be a happy man. However, for the meantime i need to find a work around solution for importing my images into Aperture. I shoot Dynamic B&W Jpeg with Raw back-up for archive and (hopefully) later editing. The issue I have at the moment is that Aperture is only showing the preview of the Raw file and not the Jpeg aswell, thus I have to drag the images from the card as a batch of jpegs and then again a batch of Raw files separately into the project that I have created. Does anyone know the reason for this and if there is a more elegant solution?
Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
I don't have an answer for you except to say I am a fellow sufferer...same problem here.
The D-LUX 4 has become my personal favorite camera, and is with me at all times. I am really sad that Aperture has not supported this great tool. I use it more than any of my pro cameras, because it is convenient, and great quality.
I use it professionally to scout shooting locations, and in a 24 page brochure that we did last month 2 of the images came from the D-LUX 4....amazing given the rest of the 48 images came from Nikon D3s or my P45+ back on a Hasselblad.
Apple please support the Leica D-LUX 4...it seem everyone else is, even shareware.

  • Importing Raw and JPEG from Canon 5D

    My Canon 5D is set to save images as large JPEGs and Raw files. Aperture will only show thumbnails of, and import only the RAWs. Is this normal? I don't see a preference selection to allow importing all images.

  • Any chance that Aperture 3 soon will support the RAW format files from Leica V-lux 3?

    Any chance that Aperture 3 soon will support the RAW format files from Leica V-lux 3?

    Were all just users here no Apple employees so no one can say (and if Apple was here they wouldn't say either)'
    It's just not the type of information Apple gives out. You can go  to Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback to let them know you want his camera included. But when that will happen is anyone's guess.
    One strategy you can use for the time being is to shoot RAW + JPG (assuming the camera has this mode) and import both as a RAW+JPG pair making the JPG the master. Then when the RAW support comes out you can switch and make the RAW the master and process the file.
    There are other ways to deal with this until the camera is supported. Post back for more info.

  • Import RAW and jpeg

    If I try to import both RAW and JPEG from the same folder or from the same card LR only imports the RAW files. I usually shoot RAW and JPEG simutaneously so they both have the same filename but different file types. Photshop handles this OK so whats going on?

    It would probably have been better to start a new thread, rather than attaching your new question on the end of a 3 year-old thread, but anyway, by JEP do you mean JPG?  Where are you seeing JEP/JPG?  The RAW files from your camera won't say .RAW as the extension, but .CRW or .CR2 if Canon RAW and .NEF if Nikon RAW, and perhaps some other extension for a different manufacturer.
    As far as shot-specific information: shutter-speed, aperture, ISO and focal-length are shown several different places such as under the histogram, in the metadata panel in Library mode, and in the Info Overlay in Loupe view in Library and Develop modes.  You can define what specific things you want to display in the limited area using View / View Options.  You can use the I key to cycle between nothing, Loupe Info 1 and Loupe Info 2.
    For learning photography, shutter, aperture, ISO and focal-length are mostly what you'd need, along with white-balance color-temperature which is visible in Develop mode.  Some camera-manufacturer-specific programs can also show things like which focus-points were enabled, but Lightroom works with many, many cameras from various manufacturers and things like focus-points are recorded differently from each manufacturer so LR doesn't attempt to decode and show such less-standardized information.
    If you really want to see ALL the information encoded in an image--the EXIF data, then download EXIFtool and drag-and-drop an image to the EXE that has (-k) in the name and you'll see a very long list of information, most of it irrelevant to general photography and, again, different for different cameras, where LR is trying to show things that are common to all cameras.
    EXIFtool is available from:  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

  • Importing raw and jpeg pictures in elements 11

    Question on photoshop Elements 11? I shoot in raw and jpeg format. I rename photos of the days shoot with that days date for all photos. This creates renamed files with the same date and the numbers in sequence in paranthesis. Example 1130-2013 (1), 1130-2013 (2) etc. The photos have the same name for the raw as well as the jpeg file. However, when I import these photos into elements 11 the raw files do not have the same image as its corresponding jpeg file  ( but both use the same file name example ( 1130-2013 (1) for the jpeg and 1130-2013 (1) for the raw file --but the pictures are not the same. Help me find out what is wrong me or the program??

    I needed to test, as I almost never shoot in anything but RAW. When shot a couple of photos with my D300 in RAW+JPEG, and imported with a setting of Both (Separate Masters), the JPEG is on the left and the RAW on the right. Please review your settings in this regard, particularly in view of your other topic about not recognizing duplicates, as that makes be wonder if these two observations are related?

  • Importing RAW and JPEG

    Hello,
    I shoot RAW and JPEG at the same time. Previously when I have imported the files using import "both with separate masters" the JPEG file would be on the left and the RAW file would be on the right, so when I stacked the photos and closed the stacks the JPEG would be visible and the RAW file would be stacked underneath.
    Recently my imports have been the other way around with the RAW file on the left and the JPEG on the right. I understand I can promote and demote photos in a stack but this takes a long time with lots of photos imported at once.
    Is there a way to have the JPEG file placed to the left of the RAW file during importing?
    I have imported before using the same camera with JPEG on the left.
    I hope this is clear.
    Regards
    Jayto.

  • How to import RAW and JPEG, but see only one image?

    This is driving me crazy.
    I shoot sometimes RAW and sometimes JPEG on the same memory card. So some pictures have only a JPEG file, others (the ones I shot in RAW) have a RAW+JPEG pair (or at least, Aperture sees it that way when displaying the content of the memory card).
    What I want:
    - import only once
    - for JPEG files, JPEG is imported as master
    - for RAW files, RAW only is imported as master
    There seems to be no combination of the import settings that lets me do this?!?!?!?
    If, under the "RAW+JPEG Pairs" settings I select "RAW files only", all JPEG files DISAPPEAR from the import list. WHY? This setting should be for "RAW+JPEG Pairs" only, it should not affect images that only have a JPEG file. I want to import JPEG files as well, so I select "Both (RAW as master)". Now, in the imported project there are TWO images to deal with, which is not what I want.
    Even if I were to import twice, how can I exclude the duplicates?

    Please ignore my post. Aperture behaves correctly. I got confused because many pics look alike, but aren't really the same pic. Sorry for the confusion.

  • Iphoto 11-File import RAW and JPEG

    iPhoto 11, Snow Leopard 10.6.7 RAW supported and Sony DSLR A300 supported...
    My question is simple: I understand (i think) that when I import pictures into iPhoto that they will be converted to JPEG. I have a number of JPEG files. But if I shoot something in RAW (.arw) and import it, does iPhoto 11 import the RAW image AND make a JPEG or does it just take the RAW photo and NOT convert to JPEG?
    Cheers-
    Kelly

    Greetings Kelly,
    Read this help menu item from iPhoto for "RAW" as it may help shed some light: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
    iPhoto imports RAW files from compatible cameras and stores the RAW files in it's library.
    It creates JPEG refrence files for viewing on screen to speed up performance which is also stored in the library.
    If you edit an image, the edits are made on a JPEG copy that iPhoto creates (you can also have it save them as .tiff which is mentioned in the link above) and stores it in it's library.
    Cheers.

  • Importing Raw and Jpeg file formats to Mac Pro

    Since migrating to Photos from iPhotos when importing photos only Jpegs seem to get imported, not Raw files when shot in both formats on my NikonD5300. Does anyone know how i can import the two file formats simultaneously? (I have double checked the settings on my camera!)
    Thanks Louise

    Photos will import both the RAW and the JPEG, but stack them and use only one of them as the original file.
    You will see badge overlays "J" or "R", indicating if the RAW or the JPEG is currently uses as the original file to render edits.
    Open the photo in "EDIT" mode, then you will be able to switch to the "RAW" version as the original file, in the "Image" menu.  The options "Use RAW as original" or "Use JPEG as original" are only available in Edit mode, also "Reprocess RAW"

  • Import raw and JPEG and switch between them

    Some background. The Epson R-D1 (and R-D1s) when set to B&W and asked to record raw + JPGs renders the JPG in B&W and leaves the raw alone. It also shows you the images in B&W on its LCD. This is great because, if you don't want to, you never have to see the images in colour.
    When importing the images into Lightroom 2.0, the help has this to say: "To import duplicate JPEG files and raw files separately, select the Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos option. Deselect this option to import only a single file." So does that mean that you can only have the raw images, which are shown in colour, or both images individually? It would be great if Lightroom knew that the two files represented the same image and let you pick which to work with, but I can't tell whether this is currently possible.
    Thanks!

    Thanks--the stacking approach seems to mostly work OK; not sure why I didn't think of it. IA problem though is that setting the slider for the time between shots to zero doesn't actually group shots having the same capture time--it seems to group nothing! Kind of pointless. You thus have to set the minimum time to 1s, which can put too many photos in a stack if you've been blazing away. I think I'd consider this a bug.

  • Importing Raw and Jpeg copies

    I've been trying to import my raw images along with the jpeg copies and when i select the images and import it only seems to import the nefs. If i select only the nef and or jpegs they will import. Is there a setting that i should change so that LR imports both?
    Owen

    This is the way Lr works. It treats the Jpgs as the Preview images.

  • Help with managing RAW and jpeg images and installing iphoto 9

    Greetings: Fist, let me make the neophyte apology and plea - I'm sorry, I should have come here first; I didn't and now I need your help.
    I have just purchased a macbook pro (still in its box) with updated software for my older imac os x. I have a number of Canon related photo editing programs (that came with my 40D digital SLR) and Adobe photo elements 6 for mac on the imac. Following some erroneous advice I have made a complete mess of the pictures folder's content by trying to delete images directly from that folder (there are now 6000+ images in the folder, many of which are duplicates(?). Most of the images are not tagged or labeled and some have been organized in/by iphoto (I corrupted the iphoto's library structure very early on by disrupting and editing its images - which might explain why iphoto had a difficult time 'finding' and displaying some of my photos). The picture folder now holds jpegs, smallRAW images (a Canon 40D photo format) and various duplicates of the orignal images - (some of the duplicates don't display as images, but as jpeg logos, which, when opened contain duplicate image or are completely black) The first time I downloaded RAW images into iphoto 6 the RAW data displayed as a black image. When shooting in smallRAW on the Canon 40D, the camera produces a jpeg image for 'easy viewing and editing in the camera' but it looks as though iphoto 6 made duplicates of the jpeg and the RAW data and stored them in different locals in the picture file. In an attempt to get the number of images down, I have been trying to delete them from the picture folder. (My daughters both download images rather indiscriminately in hopes of 'editing them on the computer' which inevitably does not happen) and there is a lot of experimental bracketing of images - shooting raw and different Camera formats etc., all of which need to be cleaned up before I proceed.
    Sometime in the not-too-distant future I would like to have iphoto 9 running on my imac with a clean library of images and a seamless way of downloading, editing and storing images (including the RAW data).
    The macbook pro is for my highschool-aged daughter, who will run iphoto 9 but not have any RAW image data on her system. She would like to copy some of the old iMac's images to put into her own iPhoto 9 library (probably using a disk, email or on-line photo service - ideally, I would like to be able to copy and remove a number of those images from my HD and give them to her for the macbook)
    A few questions and queries: Can I 'dis-able' iphoto 6, while I delete images (RAW and jpeg) from the picture file? (and is this even a good idea).
    Once I have edited the # of images down to a reasonable size, should I re-launch iphoto 6, rebuild the iphoto library and then update to iphoto 9 or skip v6 and rebuild with v9?
    And now for the 'how stupid is this guy question' - I really had planned to purchase an external backup; but between new the macbook, car repairs and braces it has never come to fruition. So, I have never properly backed up my images. What is the bare-bones, least expensive method for me to do this? I'd even consider burning everything to disks if that works. I can't afford the $ to purchase a new external hard drive right now (really). Budget is set aside mid-November for one though.
    I've been looking through some other discussion boards and it looks like I'm not the only one having RAW image issues. I know that shooting smallRAW with the companion jpeg is probably not helping things but I take my camera equipment on extended canoe trips - and we like the ease of on-the-spot editing with this format.
    Thanks in advance for your help - Mark

    Terence, Is the picture folder the primary source for the images or does that data reside somewhere else?
    If you gathered them there, then yes.
    I really don't want to have to go through 14,000 images looking for the pictures that I want to keep (or is that my only option?).
    Only you can decide what you want to keep.
    Why does the computer keep making copies of the images and filing them under date and events?
    That's how iPhoto works. It's not a problem usually, only you did go in there and make a problem, and now we are trying to fix it.
    You advise not to muck around in the picture file via preview,
    No I don't. I advise not to much around in the iPhoto Library Folder.
    but if I download images through a program other than iPhotos - image capture or adobe aren't I doing that anyway?
    Adobe what? Adobe is a software manufacturer who make many excellent applications, you need to be more precise. And no, if you import photos with Image Capture or “adobe” no you are not interfering with the iPhoto Library Folder.
    Can you edit a base image file somewhere and remove it from the HD without iphoto making a copy of it and storing it somewhere else?
    This is stunningly easy. Don't use iPhoto. Use an image editor.
    I want to look the negatives, decide which ones I want and throw the rest away. Can that be done or am I way off course?
    Yes, and iPhoto (or similar apps) make this really easy.
    Hook up your camera. Import the pics to iPhoto. Go through the imported pics. Trash the ones you don't want. Then process the ones you do. But you must learn how to use iPhoto to do this successfully
    To trash: put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. This removes the file from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
    Process it: If you want to use another editor: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • RAW and JPEG Management

    I'm shooting RAW (to CF card) + JPEG (to SD card) on my Canon 5D Mk III. When I import to Lightroom 4.1 RC2 I see the JPEG and RAW (CR2) image side by side. I'm coming from Aperture 3 where the two gets stacked together and I can select which one (the JPEG or RAW) is master.
    Is there any way I can do something similar in Lightroom? It's annoying me to have the JPEG and RAW side by side in a collection. (Looking for a setting or something automatic that happens on import.)
    Thanks!

    There is an autostacking option in Photo->Stacking that can do what you want. It will automatically stack images with the same capture time (such as a raw and jpeg from the same exposure). You can swicth the frontmost one of a stack in a similar fashion as in Aperture with Set Copy as Master in the Photo menu. I don't think you can do the autostacking immediately on import so you will have to invoke the autostack yourself.

  • Adjustments when using RAW and Jpeg

    Up to recently, I've imported RAWs and Jpegs separately but have just started using the RAW and Jpeg import function.  Irrespective of which I've set as a master, I find that if I make adjustments to one, when I switch to the other, the same adjustments have been applied.  Obviously, adjustments to RAW are not necessarily the same adjustments I want to make to a Jpeg and vice-versa.
    Is there any way I can set Aperture 3 to only make (say) adjustments to the RAW file so that when I switch to Jpeg I still have the original file to work on?  Or do I need to go back to importing as separate masters? 
    Thanks in advance for your help
    John

    There should be a progress bar in the upper left corner when in library module.

  • Raw and jpeg will not show when imported from camera

    I am doing a OCA degree in digital photography using aperture 3 . I have been asked to take Raw and J pag , open up in the program I use. And not the differance and the make changes.
    I have 1d MK III and 7 d     I cannot get both file types to show side by side..   Some one tell me how to do this please. I must have clicked , ticked something , that I cannot find to put right again.

    As always, start by copying the images on to a folder on the hard drive and then backing up the folder. Never import directly from camera or card into Aperture or any other images app.
    Then since this is an exercise not a batch workflow, simply rename the RAW and JPEG versions of one image and separately import each renamed version into Aperture. The two should each be Masters, one from the JPEG original and one from the RAW original.
    Note the JPEG may initially "look" better on the (relatively low resolution) display due to in-camera presets like sharpening, etc. not present in the RAW file. However the RAW file contains much more image data, is much more editable and is capable of making superior (relatively very high resolution) hard copy prints.
