Jpeg conversion

If I edit in raw format, and export as a JPEG to my computer, Will the information be embedded in the photograph just as a DNG file Would, Or stay as a sidecar just as it is in the raw format?

OR
1) capture my camera's RAW images into LR by using "ADD"
2) delete the discards, edit the keeper photos in LR (before saving any to my computer)
3) export edited photos as JPEG to destination folder on my computer's hard drive ( I never re-edit my photos, they are merely stored for later viewing/sharing)
4) back up the final edited photos to an external hard drive
5) not sure if I would need to back up catalog at this point, since photos have already been modified permanently?
Some people are fine with a workflow that involves doing extra work to avoid Lightroom's benefits. I'm not fine with the idea of doing extra work, and I'm not fine with the idea of avoiding Lightroom's benefits, but really the decision is up to you. In the end, these are your photos and your time and your disk space, and you have to do what feels best to you.
However, let me point out that each new version of Lightroom has major new editing features — and then you might actually want to re-edit some of those photos to actually improve them. And while I'm sure you believe, at this moment, that you never will re-edit your photos, I'm extremely skeptical that this is really true over many years. Your workflow guarantees that you will be missing out on Lightroom's benefits (new features). And it sure sounds to me that because you are sure that you will never re-edit your photos, you're planning on doing extra work that is completely unnecessary, and it's work which is destructive if you ever change your mind and want to re-edit.

JPEG conversion for printing

Hi All
I teach a photography class at a local college where the students have to submit assignments regularly. Our requirements are that they hand in a print and an unedited RAW file. Because we are focusing on their photographic technique, they aren't allowed to edit the photos at all.
They then print the photos at local photo labs (fuji fronteir machines) but the printing results are inconsistent and sometimes shocking.
to cust down on possible workflow problems, I have advised them to build a relationship with their printer, use calibrated monitors (which we have at the college), etc. etc. However, I am starting to suspect that the problem lies with the RAW to JPEG conversion and possible the color spaces they are using. Most of them shoot in Adobe RGB and use that in their computer workspace.
So far I have told them to make sure that they convert the files to sRGB before printing - to save the RAW as a PSD file and convert it to a JPEG using image processor with the "convert to sRGB" option turned on.
I am now at a point when I am going to arrange a workshop so I would love any help or advice that you may have.
I look forward to all the great suggestions I know I am going to get.
Regards
David Ceruti

Correct.
The Fuji Frontier printer won’t do any gamut conversion.
It just prints "by the numbers", expecting sRGB.
To put it simple.

It is fairly impossible to print from an un-interpreted / unedited Raw file. Editing is the name of the game. Sounds as if the students were shooting Raw + JPG (nothing wrong with this). Only the JPG will be subject to the in-camera setting to Abobe RGB. Should be converted to sRGB before giving it to the Fuji Frontier. If it is really Raw + JPG shooting, it may be easier to set the camera to sRGB. Nothing lost here, because you always have the Raw file to resort to in ACR.

Seeking solution for RAW to jpeg conversion on 1TB disk[s] of images

Please read fully
Greetings,
I have a bit of a dilemma as most might have as well. I have about
3.5TB of RAW images in various directories and seeking an automated
way to convert RAW to jpeg on numerous directories...and go get a
coffee while the process is working (maybe have a nap or two lol)
For many months I have searched for a solution that takes the source
disk (yes disk and not directory by directory) and implements a NEF to
jpeg conversion placing the destination directory on another hard
drive or a separate directory keeping the same source directory
structure. So at the end of the day I would have full sized jpegs and
PSD's in the same directory structure as the source. That make sense?
I have been in other forums and asked but the solutions were using the
typical Photoshop solutions and it does not make a dupe directory
structure as the source.
Any solutions? Ideas?
Thanks,
D.S. Hathaway

This is what I'm trying to do. It seems the Image Processor does not handle multiple directories at once.
MainDrive (source)
|
|
1234_flag_images
2345_ball_images
3456_table_images
etc
In the directory 1234_flag_images contains
1234_flag1.nef
1234_flag2.nef
1234_flag3.nef
WIP <---directory Work in Progress contains
1234_flag1.psd
1234_flag1.jpg
What I am seeking is the above source to be converted to jpeg and
placed onto another dirve/folder/directory with the SAME directory
tree. It should look like:
Another Drive/folder/directory etc (destination)
|
|
1234_flag_images
2345_ball_images
3456_table_images
etc
In the directory 1234_flag_images contains
1234_flag1.jpg
1234_flag2.jpg
1234_flag3.jpg
WIP <---directory Work in Progress contains
1234_flag1.psd
1234_flag1.jpg
Make sense?
Isn't there anything out there to handle multiple
(read 100s) of folders/directories and make a conversion as stated
above?
Thanks again,

Automate RAW to JPEG conversions

Does anyone know of an easy/simple way to automate RAW conversions to jpeg?
When I setup an action, it stalls on the RAW file open command and I cannot seem to automate this step.
I have looked at 3rd party s/w like Irfanview but the output quality seems poor.
Any tips from anyone gladly received.
Thanks.

When converting from RAW, can you setup a set of default RAW editor settings that will be applied to each file conversion?
You can address RAW settings two way. You can set default ACR settings for each of your cameras. Open a RAW file from one of your Cameras. Use the Camera profile tab in the ACR Dialog and try out the profiles Adobe supplied for your camera. When you find the one you like best set that one in the profile tab. Then use the other tabs and make the adjustments you would like to see as your defaults. When you like what you have set. Set this setup as your cameras default. Repeat this process using Raw files from you other cameras.
Now you cam also set RAW settings for you RAW files without creatine any image files for groups of raw files. IMO the best way to do this is from the Bridge. The bridge shows you thumbnails of your RAW files and I beleive adjust them under its covers by using ACR and you default settings for RAW files without saved ACR settings. What I do in the Bridge is select thumbnails without saved settings in groups that seeem to have simular exposures and open this group in ACR. One I have all the image in ACR I'll adjust one of them and then sync the rest setting to the setting I just made to the one. Then if some of the thumbnails look like the need a crop I set crop for those one at a time. Finially I'll click on ACR done button. ACR will then record setting for each RAW file either in Sidecar files or in the ACR database.
When you use an Image Processor Photoshop script to process your RAW files into RGB Image files the saved ACR settings will be used for those files that have settings and your default settings settings for files that don't have saved settings.

Any format to jpeg conversion algorithm required

Hello,
Can anybody help me out in finding image conversion algorithms for converting images from bmp to jpg, tiff to jpg, png to jpg, gif to jpg etc.
Thanks in advance
regards
Gopal.K

look up the JAI (Java Advanced Imaging), once you load a file, you can save it back as any type that is supported--including JPEG.

PAGES flyer to JPEG conversion

I created a flyer in PAGES and having trouble with the conversion to jpeg that works in Constant Contact. Any suggestions so the jpeg is large enough to work? Flyers made from WORD don't seem to have this issue when i convert to jpeg directly from pdf in preview

Deanna,
In Preview, after selecting File > Export... you will have options on the pixel density and the compression. Just try using the higher resolution options.

Problem with RAW to JPEG conversion

Hello everyone,
I have recently switched to shoot my photos in RAW format. I do the usual adjustments in Camera Raw and the hit "Open Image". Next is that I save my image as JPEG with the Maximum Quality. Once I look at my saved JPEG file though I find that most of them have a lot of noise and seem not to reflect any adjustments that I did to the RAW file. What am I doing wrong?

This is the adjustments in "Basic" and "Detail" including the "Before RAW"
After that I hit "Open Image" and then saved it without further adjustments as JPEG, Quality 10. The result of the JPEG when I open it from the Photoshop Organizer is this which I find very noisy.
The disturbing part though is, that the JPEG looks as follows when I search for the JEPG file itself and open it through Picasa viewer. It has way fewer image noise I think.

Tiff to jpeg conversion question

Need help. I created a .tif file by scanning an image using VueScan software. It is rather large, too large to send via email. I opened it in PSE 9 and tried to save it as a jpeg in order to make it a small enough file to email. When I do a "save as", PSE 9 does not give me the option of saving as jpeg. Any suggestions? I need the large tiff file for archiving purposes, so I am working with a duplicate.
Robert

Possibly the tiff is 16 bit.
In Full Edit click Image à Mode à 8 Bit/channel
Then save as jpeg.

CR2 (RAW) to JPEG Conversion

Hello and thanks in advance.
I'm new to using RAW images in iPhoto. I was given a folder of RAW (CR2) images, and I want to convert them to JPEG to conserve disk space. I have no need to GB's of images that are each 15mb in size.
I've read that iPhoto makes JPEG versions of all RAW images the first time you make a change. But want I want to do is convert all the images to JPEG, then add them to iPhoto and delete the RAW versions. This there a way to do this from within iPhoto? Or does it automatically create a JPEG version of all imports?
Cheers,
Josh

iPhoto can only operate on images that have been imported. So to use iPhoto to do this job you would need to
Import the Raw
Process them
Export the Jepgs
Trash the pics from iPhoto
Import the Jpegs you processed.
Might be less complex to use another app to process the Raws.

Suspected bug with RAW to jpeg conversion

When clicking done on a RAW image (or double clicking it) in iphoto, why is it that sometimes it works and other times it doesn't?
It seems to work if you make changes to the image but if you merely want to turn it into a jpeg so that you can export it to something like flickr it doesn't seem to work.
This means when I drag my images to flickr export it only accepts jpegs so half my album is not publishable to the web - or viewable by anything outside of iphoto.
Any suggestions?

Hasselblad RAW file to Jpeg conversion from ACR4. Problem.

Hi,
I am trying to save Hasselblad 3f files as Jpegs using ACR4.
I have already saved them as TIFFs and DNGs without problem.
In addition, if I use Image Processor on the converted TIFFs in CS3, I can convert the files to Jpegs without a problem.
However, in ACR4, when I try to save them as Jpegs, a small window opens headed:
'Camera Raw Save Status', Remaining Images to Process (and a list of all the images appears.) Next to each file name is the line, "There was not enough memory."
Even if I reduce the number of images to be converted to 5 or 6, I have the same problem.
There are 4Gb RAM, plenty of HD space and no other program is open.
I have tried increasing the ACR4 Cache size from the default 1Gb to 10Gb without any luck. I have also tried reducing CS3 RAM to 50% (though I always use ACR4 via Bridge and CS3 is NEVER open at these times.) and again no luck.
ACR simply will not save Hasselblad files as Jpegs for me!
Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks.
D.

Quality of jpeg conversion in elements?

HI, i read that converting to jpeg using photoshop cs2 is the best option, and that elements doesn't do jpeg "justice." is this also true with elements 5?

But where did you hear it? If we knew that, maybe that would shed some light on the reliability of the source or clarify what they might have been talking about. Clearly it's not an issue for those who have responded, and I've never heard that CS2 does a better job at converting JPEGs. However, full PS CS2 does have something called "advanced noise reduction", which is said to reduce noise and remove JPEG artifacts. Is this what "somebody" might have been talking about?
I don't use PSE 4.0, so I don't know if that feature was brought into Elements or not; keep in mind PSE 4.0 is based on the CS2 engine, and PSE 5.0 must be, too, since I don't think Adobe has yet released a CS3, have they?

TIFF JPEG conversion bug

built-in JPEG converter, when used to send TIFF files to a .Mac screensaver or when used to export TIFF files to JPEG, results in distorted images on certain kinds of TIFF files, resulting in portions of the image displayed in vertical stripes across the screen... this seems to happen mostly to landscape-oriented photos which were scannned from 8x10 prints at 48-bit 600dpi (5960x4699) with a file size around 100MB... but does not occur on similar scans in portrait mode (4699x5899)... indicating a possible horizontal resolution limit around 5000?
tested these same problem files with GraphicConverter and the resulting JPEGs did not have this problem

OK, it's not loading the file that I'm having problems with, it's in the encoding:
JAI.create( "encode", image, bos, format, null ) ;If I change the format to encode it as a TIFF file it returns the whole image. But I need to get it in a JPG or PNG format. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Losing metadata after TIFF to JPEG conversion in Image Processor

When I use Image Processor to convert TIFF to JPEG for my images I am losing metadata information placed in the Properties section of my image file (PC). Is there a work-around for this so that the information isn't lost? Any idea why this is happening?

Possibly the tiff is 16 bit.
In Full Edit click Image à Mode à 8 Bit/channel
Then save as jpeg.

Jpeg Conversion Problems

I am trying to upload a .jpeg onto a website to order prints. I keep getting a message saying the jpeg is invalid or corrupted. The file was an InDesign CS6 document and I converted it to a .jpeg through InDeisign. Any suggestions on why this would happen?

Thanks for the reply Bob!
I have tried that as well. I opened the exported PDF in Photoshop and then saved it as a .jpeg and that didn't work on the website either. I received the same message. Any ideas?
