IPhoto 08, Raw files wont save as Tiff

I have set my preferences to save Raw files as tiff's after editing, however it will only save as jpeg, anyone have any ideas whats causing the problem

neilmc
Start with the basics: try each of these in turn:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

Can iPhoto process RAW files?

Love to shoot digital photos. Can iPhoto process RAW files without conversion to JPEG or problems?
Or do I need to purchase Aperture?
Running OSX 10.6.8 2.66 GHZ Intel Duo Core 8 Gigs RAM only--enough for using Aperture?

iPhoto, yes Aperture, yes. Read here > iPhoto '11: Edit RAW-format photos
But the minimum requirements for iPhoto 11 and Aperture are OS X v10.7.5.
You would have to upgrade to v10.7 Lion in order to run either iPhoto or Aperture.
Lion can be purchased from Apple Customer Support at 800-767-2775.
OR, if your Mac meets v10.8 Mountain Lion requirements > System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
You can upgrade directly from v10.6.8 to v10.8 Mountain Lion. iPhoto and Aperture both are compatible with v10.8.

Can IPhoto accept raw files?

Can IPhoto accept raw files?

So you just needed me to furnish you with a more thorough explanation.
Why did you not just say that, Terence?
I'm truly grateful for anyone's help and advice, I really am.
But surely instead of the above 'statement', why not just point out which information you required?
Anyhow, I'm on Snow Leopard. I'm not sure which version of iPhoto, but it's the most current version for Snow Leopard. My library is 16,588 images. I have around 256GB free space on the HD.
The thing is, though, I have had absolutely no problem with it up until last week when I added about 100 PEF images from my Pentax K-x and then everything ground, literally, to a halt.
When I import the raw images to Image Capture or Photoshop they're fine, no speed issues.
Thanks for everyone, including Terence, who offers advice.

What version of iPhoto supports raw files for canon 6d

what version of iPhoto supports raw files for canon 6d? I am running iMac 24-inch with OSX-10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.x, and can't read these files....looking for least upgrade which will enable me to read them. Thx - //Spud

Not sure what the oldest version is but Mavericks with iPhoto 9.5.1 does - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5955?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Google may help you go backwards if you do not want to upgrade to Mavericks

IPhoto alters RAW file

when I import my RAW files from my memory card into iPhoto it does some kind of editing without me even doing anything. How can I prevent this? It's making all of my photos seem washed out, the JPG versions are fine, it's only adjusting the RAW files.

When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically makes a jpeg Preview of the shot. Why? Because you can't do anything with Raw - can't print it, share it online, use it in other apps etc. So to allow you to use the file immediately the Preview is available.
You can, however, also process the Raw in iPhoto simply by editing it. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut). The output from the processing then replaces the preview. You can choose to save your output as either jpeg or tiff in the iPhoto Preferences.
When you are processing Raw in iPhoto you will see the Raw badge on the bottom of the iPhoto Window
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Note: After you have processed a Raw, subsequent edits to the photo are carried out on the processed jpeg (or tiff) not the Raw. If you want to go back to the original then you need to use the Photos -> Reprocess Raw command.

Iphoto randomly renaming file on save

I was trying to figure out how to get my edited images from iPhoto on my iPad onto Lightroom on my Mac.
So I Shared a couple of the edited images to Camera Roll.
Now when I connect my iPad to my Mac and look at them in the import dialogue in Lightroom, it appears that the save process has randomly renamed the files. What was originally img_0127.cr2 has now become img_0169.jpg - but there is another different image right next to it that is also called img_0169.jpg. If I make further changes and save them, the file is renamed yet again and is now img_0172.jpg. The original raw file is still there with its original name, but I suspect that the metadata has been changed as Lightroom thinks it is a new file even though I have already downloaded it from the CF card.
Would it not be more logical to name the saved jpg files as img_0127-1.jpg, img_0127-2.jpg etc ?

Raw file wont open

adobe photoshop elements 11 wont open my raw files taken on my canon eos 70D. i have updated my soft ware and checked raw file , i have version 7.4.0.137.
thanks stew.p

See that faq:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1030798?tstart=0
The 70D requires the ACR 8.2 version, which can't be installed in PSE11.
Your choice :
- upgrade to PSE12, provided you are not on XP or Vista, then update the ACR module from 8.0 to 8.2 by using the help menu, update.
- use the free Adobe DNG converter to batch convert whole folders of raw files to the DNG format that PSE11 can read
- Use the Canon software to convert to tiff and edit in the PSE editor.

Edited RAW files not saving as TIFF's or JPG's

I thought working with RAW files in iPhoto 08 worked the same as it did in 06. I have lots of Nikon RAW (NEF) files from my 06 library that used to change to a JPG as soon as I finished editing them in iPhoto 06 or a tiff if I had that option selected in preferences. The RAW badge would go away and I would then see a JPG in my library.
None of this happens in 08. I edit a RAW file, the changes look to be saved when I move to the next photo, but the RAW file remains with the RAW badge still showing. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Thanks
Joshua

I also noticed something else and it looks like this issue is not only with RAW but JPG files as well. It seems like iPhoto is not finalizing the edit and saving the file. Even after closing the program you can return to those edited photos in edit mode and they look as if they are still in the middle of being edited. The level sliders still show the highlighted movement you made to them and you can still hit the shift key and see the before and after. So it seems like it's holding the changes made to the file but not following through and finalizing the changes and saving the file.

IPhoto converts RAW files to JPEG when exporting - why?

When I click and drag a RAW photo out of iPhoto it converts it to JPEG no matter where I send it. How do I keep it in its original RAW format so I can edit it in Photoshop? I have iPhoto 8.1.1.9(419) and OSS 10.6.2. The RAW photo file was captured using a Canon 7D.

Some more info for using Photoshop with iPhoto (applies primarily for editing jpgs and not RAW files)
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

RAW files end up as TIFF. Why?

After taking 300-400 photos and processing them in Aperture 3, OnOne and CS6 (CC) I always end up with some TIFF files. I have no idea how, when or why they were created. Some unknown thing happens during processing that turns some of my RAW files into TIFF files. This TIFF issue is a new issue for me, but I have noticed when I download a bunch of photos to SAM'S the automated SAM'S CLUB download system rejects the TIFF files. How can I avoid this TIFF issue? Do you know of anyway I can batch up the TIFF files and convert them to JPEG in one quick process before sending off to SAM'S CLUB for printing.

I'm assuming you are using Aperture's "Edit with..." menu items. What happens in Aperture when you use an external editor like PS or OnOne, is that it creates a new version of the image to be edited as either a TIFF or PSD file and creates a new corresponding master file in that format. The TIFF/PSD is specified in the Export panel in Aperture's Preferences. (Even if you specify something stupid like Calendar for your external editor, you still have only those two choices for the format of the file to be edited.) The external edits are performed on the new TIFF or PSD version, and your original RAW is untouched. Your external edits show up in the new version when you return to Aperture.
For compatibility with Sam's and most other places that provide prints, you will have to export your edited version from Aperture as a JPEG and send out the exported file.

IPhoto and raw files

I bought my iMac g5 mainly for managing and editing (using the Gimp) my digital photos and I'm beginning to regret it.
I always shoot in raw (D70), but when I double click a picture in iPhoto it opens up a jpeg version (converted with who knows what settings) in the Gimp.
Surely if I click on a raw file the program to which the file is sent should get a raw file and not some converted version?
In fact it is a little wierder than this; if I drag a raw file onto the Gimp in the toolbar it opens up the raw file in Gimp (actually using the ufraw converter). However, if the raw file has ever been double-clicked, then Gimp opens up with iPhoto's jpeg.
There may be a setting somewhere to change this aberrent behaviour, but I haven't found it yet.
Anyone have an idea?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Don't regret buying the Mac. The problem is simply the iPhoto is not the software you should be using. I'm still working out what I want to do. I think it's going to work like this....
Use the software that came with the camera to download the image data. Store the images into folders with folder names that give the date and place or subject. (I will use either Canon or Nikon software depending on the camera.)
Use "shoebox" to tag and index the images. Shoebox allows much more sophisticatd tagging than iPhoto. For example tag the subject "Nicholas" and location "Los Angeles" and then a querry for "family" in "California" will find the image.
Shoebox, like iPhoto can launch an editor
The Editor I like is Gimp. Clean interface and it is fast.
however I'm keeping an open mind about PS.
I just started using the Mac too My other computer runs Linux. (Linux and Darwin are very much alike.) The image
data will continue to live on the Linux computer's RAID system.
I will import cropped and color corrected JPEG images into iPhoto as needed when I want to make slide shows and books and DVDs to give away.
I intend to re-evaluate this after iPhoto 6 is released in a January.
iPhoto RAW conversion system is just not targeted at the small minority of people who in the film era could see the difference between (say) Agfa's "Portrait 160" and Fugicolor 200. or between Velia and Kodachrome. Apple was just not thinking of people like that when they devaloped thier RAW
software. They were attempting to address the larger mass consummer market.

My raw files wont open in pse8 or dng 6.4, why not?

hi all,
I've got a sony 580 and I cant get my raw files to open in either pse 8 or dng 6.4.
I've updated the camera raw plug-in to 6.2.0.29, which i understand does not have support for the 580.
But the troubleshoot says to try dng instead which does list the 580 in its supported cameras.
any ideas why it wont work.
incidentally i find it very sharp practice for adobe to not support a major manufacturers raw files in a piece of software that's really not that old. (even if its not the mosr recent version of pse). I would not have purchased it if i knew i would have to upgrade every time i changed the camera body i'm using

thanks for the reply noel,
the camera body and pse8 were purchased a couple of months apart, so not really intending to replace either anytime soon......
my issue with it not working is mainly frustration i guess.... having spent a lot of money on the camera i did hope that the industry leading photoediting software (albeit the cut-down version) would work with it without any problems. I'm very happy with pse's performance once i can actually open a file lol
When i go to the folder where i have the raw files stored and try to open with dng it doesn't show any files. (yes they are definitely in there, they can be seen fine in windows explorer, and picasa will quite happily open them)
the version of dng is 6.4.0.139
the source folder says ' no items match your search ' when i select it

Canon 5D Mark 2 Raw Files wont import.

My Friend has a Canon 5d Mark 2 and the files will not import. it says it's an unrecognized format.
now when I shoot with my Canon rebel Xti in raw it will import them. does anybody know if apple will support the canon 5d mark 2 raw files in iPhoto? Or is there something i did not check in prefs to help import?

Hi. I've got a slightly different problem. I've just upgraded from Canon 20D to 5D and although the RAW files and JPEGs DO both import, the RAW files are no longer labelled 'CR' with the image number. There's just an image number, which duplicates the JPEG file number alongside. I've tried to find a setting in iPhoto9 prefs and also on the camera to add the CR suffix, but have not resolved this. I would like the RAWs to import with the CR tag, as with the 20D. Am I missing something...?!

IPhoto supports Raw File?

Hi,
Just a quick question, I just bought a Canon Rebel XS and I'm looking forward to using iPhoto '09 with it, but I need to know if iPhoto '09 supports RAW File? Can you please help, thank you!

Yes, iPhoto supports the Raw from the Rebel XS
