Importing RAW pictures

When I shoot RAW with my Canon Digital Rebel XT, I often change the settings inside the camera to B&W, tint etc.. When I import these images into Aperture, the B&W or tint is gone and I'm left with the "raw" image (obviously)
But how to I get the image I created in camera? Do I have to shoot JPEG for that?
Thanks...

Camera parameters do not affect RAW files, so either:
-Shoot in JPEG (or RAW+JPEG)
-Or open the RAW in DPP (does the Rebel XT come with that?), because the RAW does contain a tag for which parameters were set, and DPP will apply them to the RAW.
I just do all processing in Aperture, you have a lot more control with it's monochrome mixer.

  • How to import RAW picture in iPhoto

    Hi,
    I've just switched my Lumix Fz-18 format from jpeg to raw and I suddenly found out that iPhoto can't import those pics...When I plug it, iPhoto sees the pictures but when I click "import all" it gives me back an error message (sort of unreadable files)...What can I do?

    The Raw format for every model of camera is different, and each model has to be supported individually. At this time the FZ-18 is not supported. The list of cameras currently supported is here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
    Let Apple know you want your camera supported:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    Alternatives include processing the Raws with the software that came with your camera and exporting the results as tiff or jpeg and importing those, or converting the Raw to DNG with Adobe's Camera Raw and trying to import them.

  • How to import RAW picture in iPhoto with a Panasonic Lumix FZ38?

    I know that the lumix FZ38 is not supported at this time (iPhoto and Aperture), i used the Adobe DNG Converter 5.6 but i can´t import the DNGs into iPhoto/Aperture, but Lightroom and Photoshop can.
    What can i do to import DNG to iPhoto??????

    This may be related to an issue with the recent Camera Raw update. Have a look at this thread from the aperture forum:

  • I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures.Is it ok if i create a vault and delete all my projects in the HD.Can I use an external HD use aperture through the vault??

    I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures. I don't know what to do. I created a vault. My plan was to create a vault(put all my master files into an external harddrive) and then delete all my projects in my mac pro's harddrive. Is it the correct way to do it ? What should I do if I have thousands of raw files ? How should my workflow be? Can I use an external HD and use aperture through the vault,without keeping the master files on my computer's hard drive?? Or should I shoot raw+jpeg and store raw files in an external backup harddrive and import only jpegs into my aperture library?

    There's a bit to learn.  It will slowly make sense.
    Aperture is an empty field.  You're given a tractor and a whole bunch of attachments. What you grow, how, and where, is entirely up to you.
    Vaults are for back-up and only for back-up.  They have nothing to do with storing your working files.
    When your Library outgrows your system drive (and for good performance, you should leave c. 20% of every drive empty), it's time to convert some of your image's Masters from Managed to Referenced.  ("Managed" and "Referenced" refer to Masters, not to Libraries.)
    There are hundreds of posts in the forum, and several pages in the User Manual on using Masters.
    Many people run Aperture with the Library on their system disk, and most (or all) of their images' Masters on external FW drives.  This is a good set-up.  Note that you will likely have to take steps to back-up the data on your external drives.
    If you do the above, there should be no reason to delete any Projects.
    The choice of RAW or RAW+JPEG or JPEG depends on the kind of work you are doing.  I capture RAW only -- but I don't do any commercial shoots.  Pros on deadlines report that the RAW+JPEG works well for them.  Capture JPEG if it saves you time.  IMHO, there is not a good reason to shoot JPEG to save space (space is cheap; time expensive).
    Short-term solution: buy and use a FW800 external 1 TB drive, formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", and using Aperture relocate the Masters of all images older than 30 days to that drive.  (Be sure to change your back-up strategy to include this new drive; you may need a second new drive.)
    This general post of mine might help you understand more about Aperture.

  • Monochromatic Canon RAW pictures not imported correctly in iPhoto?

    The Canon cameras have a setting to create only a RAW format of a picture (no jpg is created). I'm able to import the picture into iPhoto but the original custom settings are lost. For example, I took pictures on the programmed mode on monochromatic but the pictures are imported chromatic so the B&W effect is lost. The thumbnails in Finder do show the B&W picture for the RAW files.
    How do import these RAW files so the iPhoto creates a jpg with the original settings (monochromatic) ?

    There's no such thing as a monochromatic Raw. A Raw is a sensor dump from the camera. Your camera has an RGB sensor and shoots everything in colour.
    What the mono setting does on your camera affects only jpegs. What you're seeing in the Finder is the Jpeg preview built-in to the Raw as an icon.
    So, put simply, if you want to shoot B&W, shoot jpeg.

  • When importing Raw into A3, in what format is the picture displayed? Jpeg or tiff.

    When importing Raw into A3, in what format is the picture displayed on the screen? Jpeg or Tiff ?

    None of the comments you have gotten are particularly useful.  The display is independent of format of the file.  It's rendering is of the full pixels in the image file that you have imported, modified by any adjustments you have made, or not if you ask to see the Master.
    Even if your Master was imported as a JPEG, as seen on the screen it would have been decompressed, and you would see all the pixels (that the screen is capable of).  However, a JPEG may have lost some detail in the compression, but when decompressed has the same number of pixels as the equivalent uncompressed photo format -- but some of them may result from interpolation, and not be the original.

  • Loosing D300 Picture Control settings when importing RAW files into CS3!!

    Hi there...I would really appreciate some help!!
    I have recently bought a D300/Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 which I love, however, I'm getting increasingly frustrated by either my lack of knowledge or some form of compatibility issue between the D300 and CS3!!
    When importing I am loosing all the RAW Picture Control settings!! - e.g. If I shoot using Picture Control "Monochrome" CS3 rips out all of the settings and returns the RAW image back to the default camera settings!! It doesn't seem to be the D300 as Picture Control settings are retained when viewing the RAW images on the camera's screen.
    Camera: D300/firmware - default install
    Computer: MacBook Pro Intel 2.4Ghz/2Gb RAM | Operating System: OS X 10.5.4 (9E17) | Software: Abobe CS3 with CameraRAW 4.4.1 plugin (also tried beta 4.5 but to no avail!!)
    Thanks in advance!!

    I am trying to open a NEF file (RAW format) from my card with PhotoShop CS3 and it does not work. These photos were taken with a Nikon D300. A window appears and the message read as follows:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Could someone help me?
    I have searched the online material and I have not found a solution as of yet.
    I have no issues opening JPEGs taken with a D300 and I can open NEF files that were taken with a Nikon D200...
    I appreciate your help.

  • When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    Sorry for the long delay.  I have Windows 8.1  and using Lightroom 5.7  I have organized my unedited RAW format photos in files on my hard drive in folders in My documents/pictures.  Once I edit them I move them to another folders on a separate drive and discard the rejects.
    When trying to access my documents by selecting .File - Import from another catalog- my documents/ pictures; I see the folders, however when I select it, it says No items to match your search  When using the drop down menu on the lower right I can only see the images if I click on "all files" and when I click on the image I want to import,  it says "Lightroom cannot import this catalog; "The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom catalog"
    All of this happend when I loaded a Cannon Pro 100 printer plug-in.  I tried to disable the plugin, but It is still happining and cannot access the images.

  • Is there a possibilty to import ONLY the RAW pictures via Organizer and let the jpeg's on the camera?

    Alexandra,
    The downloader module of Elements does not provide an option to filter imported files by their type (jpg or raw). You can only filter videos from still photos. I agree that would be a welcome addition!
    What you can do instead:
    - use your OS (explorer / finder) to import the files to your computer via your card reader : you can order your files to import by extension (jpg, CR2, NEF...) and select the raw files. Then use the 'Import' feature of Elements to import from 'Files and Folders' (that 'registers' the files in the catalog).
    - Or you can use the standard Element download and delete the jpegs afterwards. Not very elegant, but that works.
    - Or you can use the 'Import' feature of Elements and choose from 'Files and folders' instead of From camera or card reader, then browse to the card reader. The card reader will be considered as a separate drive. You can select only raws in the import dialog by setting the file order to file extension (CR2, NEF...) instead of file name. You select the first item, then Shift Click on the last one. Only raws are selected. Now, be careful to have the checkbox to 'copy' the files ticked. Otherwise, Elements would consider your pictures to be on a removeable drive. The picture files will be copied on your computer in a special 'photo from removable drives' subfolder.

  • Import problems with Canon 1Ds Mk3 raw pictures

    Lightroom 2 does not recognize any raw files from my 1Ds Mk3 - says "found no files to import". It does recognize jpg, though. Lightroom acceps raw pictures from my other camera body, the Canon 1 D Mk3.
    Any pictures imported from these cameras are upside down in the import preview mode but correct after import. The same goes for my Canon G10 camera as well.This upside down phenomena was not any problem with LR 1 - came with the release of LR2.
    Any suggestions out there?

    The problems occur only when importing directly from the cameras
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits
    I'm not trying to be a smart a**, but don't do that! When you d/l from a camera, the OS gets involved in ways that it doesn't when it's seeing merely an external drive, as it does when you use a card reader.
    If you have to d/l from the camera, put them into a directory, then disconnect, then Import.

  • Pentax K3 Raw pictures are not recognized by Aperture 3.5. Importing these photos leads to error message. Any tips?

    I recently bought the Pentax K3 SLR. Before I used the K5 with Aperture without any problem. Now when i try to import raw images the message is "image not recognized". It makes no difference if I use the DNG Raw or Raw+ or the PEF pentax raw format. Jpegs are no problem but I want to use raw data. Does anybody have any hints?

    Each raw support is camera specific - different sensors, different lens.
    Apple has been pretty quick with raw support lately, a new raw support release every few month, but it is very hard to predict. Some cameras have never been supported. I am still waiting for the support for my camera after three years.
    You could use the camera specific software to convert your raw files to a supported format, while you are waiting, or shoot raw+jpeg, and use the jpeg as originals. That can be reversed, when the raw support is available.

  • I can't import RAW files in LR4.4?

    Hi, i'm using LR4 updated to the latest version LR4.4, I tried to import my RAW pictures from my NIKON D3300 (.NEF) but I can't. it says the following;
    'The files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom'. What does that mean? and how do I import those RAW files in LR4?
    I can see the images preview, can't open them and can't import them. Help please?!

    First, you don't have the latest version, and you need at least Lightroom 5.4 to open these photos.
    If you don't want to upgrade (which costs money) to Lightroom 5.4, you can download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.4 or later) and then use that software to convert your RAWs to DNG, and then import them into Lightroom 4.4.

  • I have a new Mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension.  I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

    I have a new mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF.  Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear.  I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one.  Any ideas?

    You do not need to convert to DNG.
    The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
    What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4.  Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
    Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually.  There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page.  You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.
