Is it RAW or is it JPEG?

I have been shooting in RAW format for quite a while now. I have a Canon 20D that I use with a vertical shutter/battery grip. I used to think that the shutter battery grip might have caused the camera to record a JPEG (instead of the RAW format it should have) because in iPhoto, even though the metadata says that the format is a Canon RAW (CR2) format, the extension on the file is .JPEG, and it's only on the vertical pictures. I've tested it with the Auto-Rotate function on the camera turned both on and off. I've also tesed it without the using the battery grip. Sometimes the vertical shots are actual RAW files in iPhoto, but whenever I export them or drag them to the desktop, they 'magically' become JPEGs. Can anybody explain this to me? Why are my vertical RAW shots JPEGs?

Craig:
Do you have an auto rotate feature on your Canon and is it turned on? If so then the reason your verticals are jpg is that iPhoto automatically creates a rotated version of any auto-rotated file it imports and places it in the Modified folder. That modified version will be a jpg. If you try to do a revert to original on one of those files, it immediately recreates the rotated modified version. The only way around it is to rotate those files outside of iPhoto before importing.
This is the case with auto-rotated jpgs and I'm pretty sure it's the same with your RAW files. Since I don't shoot RAW I don't have first hand experience with them for this issue.

    Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Best settings to convert RAW into high quality JPEG

    I am a little bit lost when reading discussions regarding the best way to have photos accepted by Istockphoto. They are extremely demanding about the quality of the pictures and they accept zero artifacts for example.
    I read that any corrections made of a RAW picture in Lightroom 4 must be very minimal (almost no correction for saturation, vibrace, exposure,  and sharpening, noise etc.).
    In this case it would mean that Lightroom is of no use and whay not use directly Photoshop CS6 to convert the RAW photo into a high quality JPEG.
    If this is true, can someone tell me what are the best settings in CS6 to convert a RAW photo into a JPEG format ?

    A raw picture is just that.  You have to edit it in Adobe Camera Raw to get the picuture to shine.  So their statement that edits must be minimal is confusing.  Do they just want a jpeg as shot?  You can set most cameras to take raw + jpeg. 
    Also, high quality means a certain minimium of height and width in pixels.  What do they want?

  • How do I find BOTH the raw and the cameras jpeg files?

    I've got Aperture 3 importing raw plus jpegs from my Nikon D600 camera. The D600 produces amazing jpegs!
    Aperture is set to use the raw file as the master.
    I'd hoped that I'd have access to both the raw AND the camera jpeg but I only see the raw file and as soon as I open it, the cameras jpeg is replaced by something that aperture generates. It's quite frustrating because the jpegs from my Nikon look fantastic but only for a couple of seconds before aperture replaces them with a horrible, jpeg.
    I want to have access to both the camera's jpeg and the raw file. Aperture's jpegs just aren't that good compared to the Nikon original jpegs. Not even close!
    Is there any way that I can get back my Nikon camera's jpegs or are they gone, forever?
    Thanks in advance!

    For some unknown reason, although I can see both the "Use JPEG as Original" and the "Use RAW as Original", both of these menu items are grayed out?
    A couple of ways this can happen is (1) if only one format is actually on the  camera's card (i.e., the camera's Quality setting is incorrect), or (2) if "Import RAW files only" or "Import JPEG files only" was selected in the RAW+JPEG Pairs panel in the import dialog. So (1) are you sure the card contains RAW and JPEG images (e.g., have you looked at it with Finder), and (2) what setting was used during import?

    Not sure what you mean by this statement. By design Aperture doesn't "replace" anything. Can you clarify?

  • I have a Canon EOS T2i Camera and I want to import the RAW images into Aperture.  How do I import them as RAW images instead of jpeg ?

    How do I import RAW images from my Canon EOS T2i camera into Aperture and have them show up as RAW images and not jpeg images?

    See the list of supported raw formats:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    The footnote ** for the cameras  EOS Rebel T2i EF-S / 550D / Kiss X4**  says, that the raw format is only supported with Aperture 3. So you will have to upgrade to Aperture 3, to be able to import the raw from from your camera.

  • Lens correction works with my RAWs, but not my JPEGs?

    Hi all, if I check "Enable Profile Corrections" for any of my RAW files, Lightroom automatically identifies the Make/Model/Profile of my lens. However for my JPEG files (same camera, same lens) when I check "Enable Profile Corrections" it defaults to none/none/none, and my lens doesn't even show up in the dropdown menus if I try to select it manually.
    How can I get Lens Correction to work for JPEGs as it does for RAWs?

    Update, got it working, sweet! I'll post what I did below, hopefully useful to somebody...
    1) Probably the best thing would be to make my own Lens Profile -- http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lensprofile_creator.html -- but I'm not quite ready for that now, I just wanted to make the built-in RAW profiles work for JPEG too.
    2) I located the RAW profiles I wanted available as JPEG profiles, in this folder:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\[MyCamera]\
    3) In this folder:
    C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\
    4) I created the following subfolder:
    C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\[MyCamera]\
    5) I copied the RAW profile files from #2 above into this new folder.
    6) I set the files to not be "read-only"
    7) I opened those files into a text editor, and I performed a Find/Replace.
    From: <stCamera:CameraRawProfile>True
    To: <stCamera:CameraRawProfile>False
    (Note that there are multiple instances, so I performed a Find/Replace ALL.)
    8) I set the files back to "read-only" (probably not necessary)
    And now when I turn on Lens Correction for a JPEG, it works! And it seems like my camera isn't performing any lens corrections (such as vignetting) when saving JPEGs, so it's pertty good as-is. Though, per #1 above, probably the best solution would be to make my own Lens Profiles from scratch.
    Thanks to all & I hope this helps somebody...

  • Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
    Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
    If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
    What is your screen resolution?

  • Imported RAW files corrupted but JPEG ok. Will this be ok in my library?

    One of three of my SD cards imported about 10% of its RAW files with great chunks missing. I actually saved the folder onto external hard drive before trying to import with LR, and I CAN see quite normal RAW file images using iPhoto, but the same images are still fragmented when I import them directly from the external hard drive. 
    EXcuse use my ignorance, but can I import the jpeg images using Lightroom's DNG copy option (so that they are more stable); and will I be able to use them, and work on them, just as effectively as with all the successfully downloaded RAW images?
    OR do I have to go back to Iceland for these 100 photos?!
    Thanks, Sandoise

    That does not verify raw data, only embedded jpeg preview, which you already know is OK.

    Well, seeing them in iPhotos does not mean raw data is good - it may also be showing just the embedded jpeg preview, which doesn't count.
    Sandoise wrote:
    Lightroom is the third way I've checked
    Lightroom is for sure showing the raw (re-rendered) data, so it's the one to use to judge raw data integrity, as read by OS, from card, through your reader...
    Sandoise wrote:
    How else can I check the card?
    It's "impossible" to tell whether problem is card or reader, unless you try a few different readers. Try a few different ports and a couple different systems too if you can, to rule out system/port/reader possibilities. If raw data is bad no matter which system, which port, which reader you use - it's bad on the card. You still won't know for sure whether the card is bad or the camera is bad, or something else happened.., but bad card is the most likely..

  • Strange colour spots (red & green) appear after RAW files converted to JPEG, anyone know how to fix it?

    Strange colour spots (red&green) appear after RAW files converted to JPEG, anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

    I use "Export" function to convert the picture from RAW format to JPEG format, resolution 240 pixels per inch. Strange red dots appeared in the area supposed to be dark grey, as per the picture below. The red colour does not appeared in the original RAW picture when viewing from Lightroom, only exist in the JPEG it created. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

  • Trouble Downloading Raw photo files and JPEG photo files in CS5

    PS CS5 will not download raw photo files and JPEG photo files. The software will not recognize these files coming from a Canon G12 camera. How can I remedy this situation?

    It should recognize the jpg files, but witht the G12, you need to update your camera raw. I believe there is a version what will work with CS5 and the G12.

  • Can I have auto adjust for RAW, but not for JPEG?

    I want auto adjust for RAW files, but NOT for JPEGs. I generate JPEGs from my adjusted RAWs and the last thing I want Bridge/ACR to do is to auto-adjust the generated JPEGs just because I looked at them in Bridge. Yet, I've been using auto-adjust on my RAW files for years and find it a useful starting point.
    Is there any way to configure ACR 4 to do auto-adjust on RAW files, but not on JPEG files?

    Anyone have any advice on this question? I like auto-adjust on RAW files. I like the idea of using ACR capabilities on some JPEGs, but letting ACR do auto-adjust on JPEGs that I generated from hand-tweaked RAW files just ruins the JPEGs completely. Thus, I'd like auto-adjust on RAWs, but not on JPEGs. Is there any way to do this?

  • "Save image" button of Camera Raw does not save JPEG with modifications made.

    I am using Bridge CC to process my RAW images and make modifications to some JPEG images as well.  I have no need to further alter images in Photoshop at the moment, so I do all modifications in Camera Raw. After altering my images, I then press the "save image" button at the left bottom corner of Camera Raw and choose the settings to save in JPEG.  However, when I upload these JPEG images to a website or when I email them, the image is uploaded without the modifications I had done!  It seems to me that Camera Raw is saving JPEGs the same way it does for RAW images, in a non-destructive manner, only attaching instructions for the images to be displayed properly on Photoshop. But when I save an image in JPEG, I expect the image to be saved entirely with the modifications I made while still keeping the original RAW file.  What goes on then?  What is Camera Raw doing and how do I get to save a modified image in JPEG with Camera Raw?  Would you please explain?
    Many thanks for your help,

    Hi,
    What version of camera raw and operating system are you using?

  • RAW files converted to JPEG files on my mac can't be seen by my customer who has a PC: WHY?

    I have been using Adobe CS5 for over a year now but only recently discovered how Adobe Bridge helps with work flow and post processing. My first time using Bridge I put all my RAW NEF files into folders and, after processing them in Photoshop, put all the JPEG files into a seperate folder. Before sending said JPEG images to my client, I batch renamed them to make sure the image file numbers were in the proper consecutive order. My client, who is a PC user, received these images and said she was unable to view them. Her computer system isn't outdated and I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm wondering if there was a formating change that happened when I did the batch rename or if the problem is Adobe Bridge altogether? I did all these on my Mac Book Pro which is only a year old..What am I missing??

    Did each image have its .jpg extension? i think Windows likes to see the extension, Macs don't care.

  • Adobe Camera Raw  for Nikon - generate JPEG with color off

    Hi,
    I am learning Photoshop and Camera RAW. I am using CS2 and ACR 3.7 on Windows XP.
    I have noticed that the JPEG file generated by CAMERA RAW has the color slightly off (towards the bluish direction).
    This is what I did, I started Adobe Bridge, I opened up the Nikon RAW file (from D200) with Camera RAW and then generated the JPEG file without using any AUTO or custom setting (took the As SHOT setting). After the JPEG file is generated, I compared the JPEG file, with the file on Camera RAW window, the color of the pictures don't match up. So what you see on Camera RAW window is not what you get in JPEG. The color shown in the Camera RAW window is warmer than the JPEG file. I used the Widnows default jpeg viewer and the Arcsoft Editor to look at the JPEG file, and confirmed the color of the JPEG file is off from the original RAW filed viewed Camera RAW widnow.
    However, when I opened that same JPEG file (generated by Camera Raw) in Adobe Photoshop, and the original RAW file (without any modification) in Photoshop, the color of the JPEG file matches up the color of the original RAW file only in Photogroup. I am confused now.
    Why the color of the JPEG file (generated by Camera RAW) looks OK on photoshop, but it is off in other viewers (default Windows viewer or ArcSoft Editor). However, when I used PictureProject (supplied by Nikon) to generate the JPEG file from that same original RAW file (without any modification), and I looked at the JPEG file (generated by PictureProject) on Photoshop, Arcsoft Editor, and default Windows viewer, the color matches up to the original RAW file on all viewers. So the problem only happens to the JPEG file generated by Camera Raw. Any idea?
    Thanks,
