Iphoto won't transfer raw file to photoshop

I can't stransfer raw files to photoshop even though I have set the preferences. I would like to have all the photos show as raw in iphoto, and transfer as raw to photoshop, but can't seem to do that either. I can edit the photo in iphoto as raw, but can't move the raw photo to photoshop. Richard

Rather than dragging it over, reinstall it:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • Iphoto won't open raw files from leica dlux-6 camera.

    I just purchased a leica d-lux 6 camera and use a macbook. seems that iphoto which I've been using for years  can not open raw files from this camera. Will it ever?  I downlaoded the free lightroom Leica gave and it can open raw but it seems to require more of a learning curve than iphoto. If I continue to use both lightroom and iphoto on same mac computer cause problems?  Any suggestions?  I guess i could shoot in jpeg and raw and use only iphoto for jpegs and use LR for the occasional raw shots?

    Correct, the D-Lux 6 is not currently supported for Raw in iPhoto or Aperture. Apple may add support in a future update. Let them know you want it:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    LR is a very powerful, professional grade application and yes, requires a lot more learning than iPhoto. If that doesn't interest you, then respectfully, I would suggest that you just shoot Jpeg.

  • My iPhoto won't recognise raw files from my new camera

    ... (it still recognises them from the old camera). The specs are different and I've upgraded iPhoto to the latest list of supported cameras. Any ideas?  Thanks, Lee

    The Raw on that camera simply isn't on the supported list:
    iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let them know you want it supported.
    I would expect the DNG to be accessible though, but I'm not terribly familiar with the format. I would google around a bit. IIRC there are variations within the DNG format - linear/non-linear or something like that - one of which will work with iPhoto and Aperture.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 won't read raw files from Canon EOS M

    Photoshop cs5.1 won't read raw files from canon eosM, what to do?

    The EOS M requires at least Camera Raw 7.2 but Raw 7.2 is only compatible with CS6 or higher (CS5 is only compatible up to Raw 6.7)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    To open and edit Raw files, either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get the CC version.
    Alternatively convert the Raw files from the EOS M to DNGs using the free DNG converter then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

  • IPhoto Won't show nef files

    When I download my raw (nef) files, iPhoto converts them to jpeg.  When I transfer the file to Photoshop Elements 10 it shows up as a jpeg.  I want to edit the raw file.  Help

    In iPhoto's Advanced preference pane check this check box.
    Be aware that if when you edit the RAW file in the external editor you'll have to save it to the Desktop and import as a new file.  That's the only way iPhoto will recognize it.

  • Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing?

    Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing? I recently had a crash of CS5 Bridge. It seems to have caused a problem with Aperture. So, I reinstalled both CS5 and Aperture. Before installing CS5 I uploaded NEF (Nikon RAW) files to Aperture. Now I have reinstalled CS5 I want to use it to edit the same photos from Aperture, as I know more about editing in CS5 than Aperture. I tried to export to CS5 but, Aperture would not give me  that option. At least I could not find it.

    You can set an external editor in the "Aperture Preferences -> Export " settings.
    Just set this to CS5.
    The resullt of your external edit will create a new version of your image.

  • Opening RAW files in Photoshop CC

    Why can't I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC?  I am only able to open the jpgs.  I browse the thumbnails in Bridge and then correct in the RAW menu but when I request to open them in Photoshop, they cannot open.

    If you can open the RAW files in Camera RAW, then you don't need to update, but it won't hurt to do so.  The thing is, if youare able to do your edits in Camera RAW, I can't think of a reason they wouldn't open in Photoshop when done.  Nor have I heard of such a problem before.  Are you definitely clicking on Open image, and not Done?
    Try opening a JPG in ACR.  Select it in Bridge, and use Ctrl (Cmd) r.  Make some adjustments and try and open in Photoshop.

  • Why Aperture doesn't send the RAW file to Photoshop

    I've seen the complaint about Aperture not passing the original RAW file to Photoshop in several places in this forum. I think I have a reason for why Aperture doesn't work this way.
    The reason has to do with the 1st law of digital RAW photography. "Never, ever, overwrite the original RAW data from a camera's RAW format file."
    Because of the above rule, both Aperture and Photoshop do not actually work on the original RAW file. They transform the RAW image data into a usable image using user specified settings (which may be the camera's default setting for that image). The original RAW file is left untouched.
    When you open a RAW file in Photoshop and try to save it, you'll be prompted for a new file name. You wouldn't want to overwrite the original RAW file by writing the edited image data back to it.
    When you edit an Aperture RAW file using Photoshop as the external editor, Aperture first creates a TIFF or PSD version image file in its library and then passes that file name to Photoshop. Photoshop opens the TIFF or PSD file and directly edits it. Since this version file is already in Aperture's library, when Photoshop is finished editing it, Aperture automatically sees the edited file because its already in the library.
    If Aperture were to send the RAW file name to Photoshop, Photoshop would open the RAW file and create a new PSD file. When it came time to save your edits, where would you save it. In order to get it back into Aperture's library, you would need some form of Photoshop to Aperture communication so that Photoshop would know where to save the edited file and Aperture would know to add it to the library. This would require collaboration between both Adobe and Apple and doesn't seem likely.
    I have a couple of ideas someone can try. These are only ideas and completely untested. I'd do it myself but I don't own Aperture (see my computer info below for the reason).
    1. Create two folders with automator actions. You export your RAW files from Aperture to a "Photoshop-IN" folder. Any new RAW image found in this folder will be automatically opened in Photoshop by the Automator action. Then you save the edited Photoshop file into a 2nd folder "Aperture-IN". Another Automator action imports this into Aperture.
    2. In iPhoto, if you try to edit a RAW image with an external editor, iPhoto creates an intermediate image file (JPEG I think) which it passes to Photoshop. But, if you drag the original RAW image thumbnail from iPhotos library window to the Photoshop icon in the dock, the original RAW image file is passed to Photoshop. You only have the problem of getting the saved Photoshop file back into iPhoto's library. Maybe this same thing would work in Aperture by dragging the Master image to the Photoshop icon in the dock.

    This is all well and good. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of keeping the "master" sacrosanct. What I object to is not being able to do the conversion in Photoshop (or elsewhere)
    What I want is for Aperture to send the raw over to photoshop when I select "open in external editor", and then follow the current workflow (I do my edits, hit save, and a second master is added to Aperture's db.)
    It's totally possible for them to do this, and it wouldn't break anything in the system, or the philosophy. Of course it's a workaround that wouldn't be necessary if Aperture's converter were up to snuff. But it isn't, and I bet it would be easier to implement the workaround than to fix the fundamental defects in the converter itself.

  • How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

    How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor.  I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
    This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

  • Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Folks,
    I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
    I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
    Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
    I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
    Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Doug...

    Hi Folks,
    Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
    I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.

    I have tried opening them on both my office and home computer but neither of them work.
    Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF  100mm1:2.8 USM)
    Many thanks!

  • How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

    How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.  I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work.  I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files.  I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not.  Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

    First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version.  Always use the very latest version.  8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
    Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files.  Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
    I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
    You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated.  You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
    I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
    A screen shot could be very helpful too.

    Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade.  Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.
