JPG and RAW - Any way to stack?

Is there anyway to make JPG,PSD, and RAW of the same image stack? It seems ridiculous that Lightroom won't show the PSD or JPG version of a raw file - am I doing something wrong? Can LR stack the different variations of the same image?
Regards,
Jeff

To me this is a huge LR flaw - if LR is "smart" enough to detect duplicate images and only show the RAW version, it should also be smart enough to automatically stack those images.

Recovery and Rebuild: Any way to complete without re-importing

Apologies if this has been answered before. For the record, I tried to find this under "rescan", "rebuild" and "recover" searches, but can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I just recovered from a bad hard drive issue, and I was about to get back my iPhoto database from a bunch of DVD backups.
However, it occurred to me that it would be great to re-organize the database from the 'botched' names for some of my import directories. My import naming was all over the place ("Roll 1", "Roll1_1207" etc.), and I'd like to just have 2007 in one central directory.
My question is: it is possible to do this without reimporting everything back into iPhoto? I'm on a laptop, so space is at a premium, and 4,000 JPG and RAW images take up a hefty amount of room. I know I can stop iPhoto from copying the images to the iPhoto Library, but I'd like iPhoto to handle the directory structure.
Moving the images into the 'Originals' directory and forcing a rebuild (searching for orphans) doesn't let iPhoto see the photos. And I can't put the photos in that directory and reimport them (with copy off) since iPhoto won't let you import a photo from within the library structure.
Put simply, is there a way to drop in a set of photos into the iPhoto Library without going through the rigmarole of an import, and then let iPhoto Rebuild the database?
Thank you!

Put simply, no.
iPhoto is a database, and like any database it has no knowledge of data not imported to it. Secondly, if you go the Referenced Library route (photos referenced on the HD rather than copied to the Library) then you're telling iPhoto never to touch your files, so it won't organise your structure outside of itself, either.
Just a note of caution about running a referenced library:
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk.

Can I merge a JPG and RAW folder in a catalog and keep the edits?

I usually shoot RAW plus JPG and always used to copy all of them into the same folder. That worked fine, but was a little pointless as the JPG was only used as a temporary preview before the RAW was loaded in behind it. For speed of editing at events, I started to split the files in to two separate folders and import both, but tag and do basic edits, crops etc on the JPGs so for 'news' website use, then work on any higher quality client requirements from the RAW. It would be nice if I could later merge the two together so that those basic edits - and ratings etc - were then applied to the RAW files. They have the same names - bar the extensions, of course - having be renamed by LR on import. I tried it on a test shoot, but it just seems to add separate JPG and RAW images to the catalog. Is there a way to have it associate the unedited RAW with the edited JPG?

Hello Guy gswarbrick,
I am not sure I understand where your current workflow with the JPGs saves you time:
Do you load them into your LR catalog, and do you do the ratings and crops there?
Then for selling on the web you export the JPGs thusly edited from LR?
Do you use a laptop on site/in the field for this?
I am just wondering, where you would actually loose time if your workflow would be the following:
General preparation of your LR set-up:
Define a default develop setting for RAWs that matches your camera's JPG-conversion pretty fine, so that the result would be almost identical without any explicit develop edit.
Define a default export setting for your JPGs to be sold on the web on the day: choose the quality, the size (resizing rules) fit for web, colour space most probably sRGB, ... (no adding to the catalog)
Workflow during the shooting day:
Only import RAWs, no JPGs at all. [Do you fear this takes longer than imprting the JPGs?]
Do the quick stuff during the day like you do today on the JPGs, just on the RAWs. Should also be rating/labeling and cropping, nothing more thanks to your prepared default develop settings.
...Compared to any option with ExifTool or the like for the final RAW-work (4.) you would definitely save the time there.
So the question is: would you really loose time during the critical phase on shooting day?
I guess not, provided your default develop settings achieve pretty much your camera's jpg-conversion. You may need to experiment a little there, make these defaults specific to ISO ranges and camera serial number if you shoot with several cameras, but once this prep is done there should be no more substantial delay.
Unless you post the images directly from camera to the web without passing through LR catalog. Or your field laptop would be of very low spec.
Where to start? Let's start with my laptop; it's about the highest spec available, coupled with Sandisk Extreme Pro cards and a high speed card reader. What about my fear that importing the RAWs would take longer than the JPGs? Well, a small, basic JPG is about 500k, the equivalent uncompressed RAW file is 12Mb, so I reckon about 24x as long to import - give or take. Plus the time to render the RAW file, which isn't required for the JPG. And that's assuming I'm not adding default develop settings, which have a small but not insignificant overhead. For that reason, the RAW imports are usually done after the events or during (rare) breaks.
I've arrived at this workflow through 5 years of experimentation. RAW-only simply does not work for these sorts of events. Most of my 'competitors' shoot JPG-only, for that very reason, but I don't want to lose the RAW option for the print work.

JPG and RAW files are not grouped together.

I am finding that my RAW and JPG files are not grouped together. They show up on the Grid View as JPG for the JPG file and RAW + JPG for the NEF(RAW) file. This does not seem to be consistent through out the folder. Some of the pictures are grouped together and others are not. The ones that are not grouped together have been auto-stacked and then unstacked. I am not sure if this is what caused the seperation of JPG and RAW files. I did try to take a picture that I had auto-stacked it and then remove it and it did not sepearate. The "Treat JPG files next to raw files as seperate photos" option is turned off, like it is in my Lightroom 3.

This is what I'm talking about:
Show subfolders are on:
In windows Explorer:
In the Import Dialog:
Where are the files?
If I click on the Folder 2014_12_14... all the files from all folders will populate.

BUG: With same name jpg and RAW in same folder

OK, we have established that you can't import same filenames RAW/jpg into the same folder, but you can drag them in later. This is useful for stacking.
Bugs that occur when jpg and RAW with same name together in same folder. (have not tested for psd, tif etc.
1. If you rename the jpg, the RAW also gets renamed
2. You cannot move the jpg properly within the folder in grid mode.
Most of my landscape shots need to go to photoshop. I developed a nice workflow which integrates PS quite well with LR...see post here:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc34679/5
I created the workflow so that I could retain same name RAW/jpg stacks in the same folder. I have altered the workflow slightly so the jpg gets autorenamed with filename_# ... see the link above.

It's the same design issue Kevin. Sidecar files get renamed automatically and these are treated as sidecars.

How to have my Jpg and RAW files in version sets (PSE10)

I take both jpg and RAW files on my camera so that most of the time I am pleased with the jpg and do little editing, but some of the time I need to really work on a photo which is where the RAW file comes in handy. In my photo well I have 2 of each picture displayed ie the jpg and RAW. How can I get it so only the jpg is displayed and the RAW either hidden or as a version set collapsed? Having 2 of each photo makes the photo well look untidy and full of duplicates.
Help appreciated.

Highlight the two photos (using Ctrl+click), right-click on one of them and select "Stack...Stack Selected Photos".

When showing JPG and RAW files as one, which do we see and which is edited?

Hi Guys,
Hoping someone out there will have the answer to this.
Just come back from a long trip with thousands of pics in RAW, I like to use Canon DPP to generate the JPGs quickly and to give me Canons interpretation on the RAW image. (Apparently same processing as in camera).
Once imported into Lightroom 3, I have set up to view the JPG and RAW files as one.
There are two questions:
1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
2.) Which is edited?
I do not really want to fully develop all the pics in Lightroom as some of the standard shots have come out perfectly and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
Raw only. The jpeg is sort of like sidecar. Cannot set a preference. The only setting you can change is to view them separately.
2.) Which is edited?
Raw only.
... and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
Lightroom's Canon-specific DNG profiles are developed to match Canon's picture styles (or whatever they are called). So, if you use, say, the Faithful Picture style in Camera, Lightroom's "Camera Faithful" profile will render your raws very close to DPP, if not identical. That's for default settings. However when you start adjusting, Lightroom's and DPP's processing may differ.
You may not even need those Jpegs for comparison, after all.

Separating jpg and raw files after importing in lightroom 5

i would like to separate my jpg and raw files once they are in lightroom (right after importing) so that all my jpgs are 1 after the other on the film strip below and my raw files are one after the other. is this possible?

Have you ever seen the file name extension shown as part of a Metadata Overlay?
That is puzzling, Kirby - I have always seen the filename extension in Aperture; in the Inspector Info panel, the Viewer, the Browser.
I tested again with raw+jpeg pairs, to see, if there is something peculiar about pairs - if Aperture thinks, the filetype should be clear from badge, but I am seeing the extension always.
Even when I created the image file and imported it into Aperture while the Finder option "Show all Filename Extensions" has been disabled, Aperture would still show the extension.
But I noticed, that in Basic View Aperture would give precedence to the version name and display the version name and not the filename, even if I selected the filename with a higher priority in the list of metadata tags. So I deleted the version name from the views and added the "Show metadata labels", to be sure to see the Filename extension. And surprise - Aperture had been showing version names in the basic view overlays instead of the filename, when both filenames and versionnames had been selected, even with the filenames selected first.

Is it possible to ignore and not import JPG files when a JPG and raw file of the same name exist?

Is it possible to ignore JPG files on import? I shoot raw + JPG and see no reason to keep the JPGs; I shoot JPG primarily as a backup (I back all the JPGs up online to my smugmug account then delete them before importing the raw files), but they're also occasionally handy if one wants to get a quick print in the field. I know that one can set a preference to "Treat JPEG Files Next to Raw Files As Separate Photos", but even then they still are imported.
As an example, say I have this scenario (not on DSLRS, but on pNs cameras, sometimes a JPG but not raw is captured - I suspect this has to do with how the buffer is filling) with these files on a memory card:
IMG_0001.JPG
IMG_0001.CR2
IMG_0002.JPG
IMG_0003.JPG
IMG_0003.CR2
When I import pictures from this folder, I'd like 2 CR2 files and 1 JPG to be imported. I'm even willing to copy the relevant files and drag and drop them onto LR's Library module. But even if I do that, all five files get imported. Thanks!

No, I don't believe that's correct. As I said in my previous post, Lightroom's Import is a two-stage process.....first copy the files from the card, then when that is finished, render whatever previews have been requested.
AFAIK there is nothing unusual about my system, Lightroom has always imported in this two-stage way as far back as I can remember. Based on this I see no 'safety' benefit from copying files first outside Lightroom, then using an ADD import process. On the contrary, as this takes away the possibility of using the "Second Copy on Import" option, as well as having to manually setup import folders, I see nothing but downside from that approach.
Mea culpa, Jim is correct! I checked my Windows 7 system with LR4.2 and I monitored the 'Destination folder' during an import direct from memory card to hard drive. 'Copy and import' showed in the progress bar until all image files were visible using Windows Explorer in the 'Destination folder.' Only after all files had transferred did the progress bar change to ‘Render 1:1 Previews.’ I started using LR1.0 on a Pentium 3 single-core system with Windows XP 32 bit, which I think is when I made this observation. Regardless, it is clear that LR4.2 is using a two-step import process. Thanks Jim for being persistent!
It still begs the question why some people are experiencing very slow imports, damaged image files, and other related import problems from memory cards? My guess (and it's only a guess) is that they have 1) 'Rename Files,' 2) 'Automatically write changes into XMP,' or 3) 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files' checked in LR preferences. It would be a good idea for anyone experiencing import issues to try an import with these three (3) options unselected.
My apologies to the OP DBarman for going off topic. Hopefully the extra information and observations are helpful.

.jpg and raw not stacking

Hi,
I have the preferences set to NOT show the .jpg side by side with raw and yet they are doing so in some folders. Any ideas why this would be true and how to overcome the situation?
b

You must be talking about the Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos option in Preferences... I think you might have misunderstood it.
When it's ON: Lightroom will import RAW+JPEG from your camera as two separate files. No link between them whatsoever.
When it's OFF: Lightroom will import both, but the JPEG version will be hidden. You'll only see the raw files (though it will be marked as RAW+JPEG) and make adjustments on the raw files.

Colors differences between jpg and raw - Lightroom 4.1

Dear All,
I have a doubt on colors and monitor profile. I am using an imac with monitor calibrated with Spyder pro3 and shoot photos with a Canon 500D (RAW+JPG).
I recently added a cir polarized filter to my camera, and really satisfied of colors I see in the camera screen, and the same colors I see on my imac when I look at jpg files. Unfortunately when I open photos on Lightroom 4.1, colors seems the same while loading the picture (probably reading the jpg) but than suddenly changes when rendering the preview and in develop module. Colors seems less vivid like missing some contrast (in attachment an example of the same file opened with lightroom and apple preview in raw and jpg).
I know that jpg created by camera are different from raw files, but actually never had such a difference in colors with all other photos I shoot before. Is this because of the filter or do I have to set anything in particular in lightroom, such as monitor profile or others?
Thank you for your kind advices, have a nice day,
dk

Q10 search remains on a contact after search and call - any way to auto close?

Hi,
I'm just starting to try out a q10 for work purposes and one issue I ran into several times today...
After typing in a contact name (to search) and then selecting call or email, making call or writing email and the turning screen off:
The next time I turn the phone on to search for anything, the contact I had searched before appears. Usually after a few button presses I realize it and by then I'm stuck in editing that contact.
Is there a way to have the search close after the call/email ?
Or maybe have it reset after a while ?
Or, even better would be a gesture I can use from when the screen is off to activate screen and start a new ?
On that last point, depending on the state that I left the phone in it seems I must to do different things to perform a new contact search...
For example search is showing a contact already and I'm not on the search screen:
Swipe up or power button to activate Press a key to start a search Swipe left to leave the contact that was displayed by search
If search is not showing a contact then I just swipe up and type a name
Also, different topic but I am really hoping there is a simple solution here: is there a rapid way to jump straight into the hub?
Sometimes I need to swipe up to turn on, swipe up to exit an app the swipe right swipe right and swipe right to get into the hub. It feels kind of disorienting since it's not always the same procedure and I'd like these things to be "muscle memory."
Thanks,
Dave

after youve called the contact and it opens with their name again just tap cancel on top right of screen and it puts you back to the first person in your contacts list.
its the only way ive found out how to close the cotacts name.
