IPhoto '08 - Does it "touch" referenced RAW files?

Hello,
I'm starting with a fresh, new iPhoto '08 Library to handle my RAW images. Since my RAW photos are organized on an external HD by date/location (of shoot) I've decided to NOT allow iPhoto to "manage" the library (ie. turned off the option for iPhoto to copy images into the iPhoto Library via Preferences/Advanced). My question — because iPhoto is not managing the Library and only referencing the RAW images on the external drive, is there any risk of iPhoto doing anything to these RAW images?
Basically, this external library that I have being "referenced" by iPhoto contains over 4 years worth of shoots, all RAW. This drive is then backed up nightly to another external drive and then backed up again monthly to another drive for off-site storage. I just want to be sure iPhoto doesn't "touch" these RAW files when not copying to the iPhoto Library.
Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Doesn't touch them.

Why does iPhoto 9.4.3 not recognise RAW files from a Pentax K3 camera?

Why does iPhoto 9.4.3 not recognise RAW files from a Pentax K3 camera? It does from a K7.

Because it requires Mavericks - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955
OS X Mavericks provides system-level support for digital camera RAW formats from the following cameras.

IPhoto does not recognise the raw files(.NRW) from my new Nikon camera model P7100,any advice please as running latest version of iPhoto(9.2.1)

Since changing my little everyday camera to a new Nikon Coolpix P7100 iPhoto cannot import any of the raw files(.NRW),says it does not recognise them.
I have updated iPhoto to the latest version(9.2.1) but still cannot open them.
Any ideas please

The raw from the P7100 is not supported at this time.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

It doesn't.
When you import Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new Canon Sureshot S95

Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new

Adobe, please can you provide an update asap

Hello!
I think that you need to be patient.
There has not been any release of Camera Raw since the release of the camera.
I recommend to try the next version once it will be released, as there might be preliminary support (and therefore not listed).
Usually, Adobe is amongs the firsts to support a new camera.
Even though the Camera Raw team is fielded with wonderful coders, I do not think that they do have a time machine to allow support before they have their hands on a camera

Yes, if you have PSE 11 (not the mac app store version). You will need to go to Help>Updates in the editor to update ACR to 7.3.

FWIW,
Adobe keeps a quarterly release schedule for RAW updates. The current Lightroom 4.4 RC expires on 5/31/2013 which typically is an indication that the official release will be close to that date. According to the current list of new supported cameras, the Nikon D7100 is not slated to be supported (but that could change on release).
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-4/?tabID=details#tabTop
The most likely time frame for Adobe support of the D7100 will be sometime in August or September 2013 (although there will probably be a Lightroom 4.5 RC available prior to that for testing purposes).

Why does Lightroom keep doing this to my RAW files?

I load my raw files into lightroom and it does this to a few images and some times many of the images..it does not matter which card I use..I thought it was a bad card one time and threw it out. I actually quite using Lightroom a year ago because of this and FORGOT and started using it again. It ruins the files. Once its loaded into Lightroom and it does this to the raw file its permanant. Help!
Jolie

This is probably a hardware problem as Lr does not write to RAW files. See this thread.

Does preview open native raw files?

I was hoping one of the techies could answer a question for me. I can open my Nikon .nef files in preview. But, is Preview really opeining the raw file itself, of the jpg that is bundled inside of it (the one used to display on the back of the camera)? Because I always shoot in raw and like to process the photos myself, but sometimes it is nice to have some jpgs to shoot to someone that already has some of the camera's built in processing applied. I do have a program that can automatically extract the jpg from the raw file, but I thought that if Preview did the same sort of thing, then you wouldn't need the program.
Thanks

Preview (as well as iPhoto and Aperture) all open the Raw file using the RAw Camera Bundle which is part of the OS.
None of those have the ability to extract the embedded JPG preview though Aperture (at least) will use that while it is decoding the Raw file the first time it opens the Raw image,
You can easily export a JPG version of the RAW file from any of those three applications.

Does this version support raw files?

does this version support raw files?

Kind of. Any RAW files can be imported by uploading them to Creative Cloud first. Even then, it's very basic; just importing and working with images like other image types; no RAW adjustments like those available in Camera Raw or Lightroom.
Note this implies to existing supported camera RAW files. I'm not sure about brand-new cameras. (Usually, Adobe gets around to those cameras but it's not immediate.) Try it anyway if you're not sure.

[TIP] PS Touch and RAW file support...

Hi all,
Just wanted to let users know of something surprising I found: PS Touch does let you work with (I'm assuming supported) RAW files, though it's rudimentary (i.e., you can import and that's it; no Camera Raw features or anything like that). I know Fujifilm's RAF files work; I would imagine other supported RAW file formats would as well.
You must use Creative Cloud to do so, which is free to join. (2 GB initially; 20 GB if subscribed.) All you have to do is upload your RAW images as they are to Creative Cloud and then add the images from CC as you would any other image in PS Touch.
Just a heads-up.

Size in pixels ultimately determines the file size. Tap the ampersand icon in the upper right > Image Size. (If you need a file size calculator, try Googling. There are tons of online tools out there.)

TS2518 I have Aperture 3.1.2 running on os 10.6.8. Aperture does not show focus points on my Nikon D7100, nor does it recognize the RAW files. Will upgrading Aperture allow me to see the focus points and RAW files again? Also, do I need to upgrade my os f

I have aperture 3.1.2 running on os 10.6.8 mac book pro. Lost some features in aperature when I upgraded my camera (no longer shows focus points, does not recognize RAW files) Would like to upgrade to aperture 3.5, but do not want to loose any pictures in my extensive library. Do I have to upgrade one vesion at a time, or can I jump? I believe I also need to upgrade my os, but not sure which to do first? Any help would be appreciated...

1. Can I get Icloud without having to upgrade to OS Lion?
Nope, you need 10.7.
2. If I upgrade to OS Lion, does this automatically put me onto ICloud
No, you set that up yourself.
3. I have three mobile me email addresses. One for myself, one for my wife and one I use for my business. What happens to these.
You can convert them to be used in iCloud.
4. My wife and I also use mobile me to sync our calendars across an Ipad (original) and two Iphones (3Gs). Both Iphones and Ipad are still currently using IOS4, and I am reluctant to upgrade this to IOS 5 as I have heard some horror stories. If I fail to upgrade to IOS 5, will this create confusion with my Apple ID's. (There already is a lot of confusion with these- Apple appear to not have down their homework)
If you don't change the settings you have now, I'm sure it will stay working. I believe Apple is phasing out MobileMe and you'd be forced to upgrade eventually.
5. Will Icloud allow me to transfer my Icalendar across seamlessly? This is Ical 4.04 whic came with my Imac. Does this get upgraded if I update to Lion?
Yes, it will get upgraded. I have my calendar on Lion and my iPhone 5.0.1 working seamlessly at the moment. That doesn't mean you won't have problems because with new technology that can be expected. Make sure you do a back up if you're worried about losing data.

Elements 12 does not open nef raw files depsite having latest raw plug-in

Help please - wasted far too much time trying to open my raw files with recently purchased elements 12. I have tried to ensure all software is up-to-date but still the message that the raw file is not supported appears when I try to open with Camera Raw . The files open in nikon software and windows. My camera is a Nikon D7100.

As a test, try copying a nef file from your camera to computer without using nikon transfer and see if it opens in pse 12.
Which version of windows are you using?
If in the photoshop elements 12 editor you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
