IPhoto no longer impots RAW photos from my Nikon D80

Recently I had to archive and re-install OSX 10.4 because of a DVD read problem. Following a successful reload which included the combo updater to 10.4.8 and all software updates my iPhoto 6.0.5 version has stopped importing RAW photos from my Nikon D80 camera. Prior to the Archive and re-install, sometime in December I downloaded the software update -"DigitalCameraRAWUniv200601" this enabled iPhoto to work with my camera. I assume this update has somehow become separated from iPhoto, when I tried to reload the update it tells me it is already installed on my computer. Can anyone tell me how to uninstall it and then reload the update in order to re-establish conformity with my D80 camera.

re-installing the app will not affect your library or your photos. These are stored at Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library Folder. Of course, you should always have a back up anyway.
To re-install the app, trash the iPhoto in your Applications folder. Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and trash any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
Then you can re-install. When you click on the installer on your iLIfe DVD there is an option to Custom Install. (look at the lower left of the Window). There you can select what to install and what to leave out.
I'm interested to see if this works. AFAIK the interaction with RAW is governed by the OS, not iPhoto - for instance Aperture would use the same technologies - hence my suggestion to re-apply the 10.4.8 update in my first post.
Good Luck.

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.

Problem importing RAW images from my Nikon D80

Hi.
I'm having some problems importing images from my Nikon D80 when I've been taking photos in RAW format. IPhoto recognises the camera as usual, and allows me to name and describe the roll. However, it then seems to freeze and won't import the photos.
IF I stop the import, then open the camera as a disk, I can physically grab the .NEF files from their folder and drop them into iPhoto where the import will carry on as expected.
Any ideas?

See my reply to your other post.

I can't seem to import RAW files from my Nikon D80....

I am just starting to investigate the world of RAW images. I have been successfully using iPhoto to archieve and process my Jpegs that I import into iPhoto6. When I try to import the RAW.NEF files from my D80 iPhoto gives the following error message.
Unreadable file: 1
The following file could not imported:
/DSC_0002.NEF
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help,

You need to install the update that lets your iMac recognize the RAW format of your D80 files. The D80, Rebel XTi are too new for 10.4.8 so Apple offers an update that adds support for their RAW files:

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

See if any of this info will help:
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.
Click to view full size
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
Click to view full size
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 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: 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.

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem. I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple. Help, if possible, please.

As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

I can't see RAW photos (from Nikon D3100) in iPhoto...

Hi!!
I am trying to import photos from mi Nikon D3100 to Iphoto 11, but there is a problem: I can't open the photos; the files are located in the folder of Iphoto Library, but it can´t be open by Iphoto. The extension file is.raw, but i have updated Iphoto to get compatibility with this extension file.
What can I do?

I had import the photos from NikonD3100 with Iphoto; after finishing, appears a message "photos have been imported ok"or something similar. But the events created are empty, there are no photos inside. Then, I thought that the problem was in the import, but I looked for the photos in the Iphoto Library with the finder, and the files were ther. I think that the problem colud be related with the .raw extension file (but I have all updated...)
Thank you for your help from Spain

We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from a memory card. We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing. Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto? I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5. I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it. If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera. Thanks in advance.

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
When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

I moved my iphoto folder to a new location by mistake. I've moved it back to its original location, but iphoto no longer sees the photos. What step(s) am I missing to return to the setup I had.

i moved the folder containing all of my photos to a new location on my hard drive by mistake. I've moved it back to its original location, but iphoto no longer sees the photos. What step(s) am I missing to allow iphoto to see the photos as it did before. Also,
I am trying to back up all of my photos to a thumb drive. Is there a way to do this thru iphoto?

Witholut knowing what you did, it's hard to know what you missed doing, no?
Try Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Backing up just the Photos? File ->Export
Backing up the Library?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

Send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object"

how to send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object" not a flat "image" so it does not flatten the image but so I still get all the adjustments i have made in lightroom to show up in photoshop?

Select the image in Lightroom, choose 'Edit in' from Photo menu then choose 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop'. The file will transfer to Photohop (Ps) complete with Lr applied edits which can be refined in Camera Raw by double clicking on icon in the Ps Layers panel (see screen shot).

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.
