Locate RAW files from JPEG selects HELP!!!

Hi all,
So I have 21 folders of RAW CR2 images and I've been asked to pluck 3280 CR2 files from these folders. My guide for doing so is a set of 21 folders that contain 3280 JPEG selects. So I need to grab RAW versions of all of these selects from a massive pool of photos. If I was to do this manually then it will likely take days. I'm wondering if there is any genius out there who knows a way of doing this with automator or a similar piece of software?
To make matters slightly more complicated, the RAW CR2 files have duplicate names across the 21 folders so a general search of a file name based on the JPEG results in multiple files coming up. There are obviously no duplicates within each of the 21 folders though. So what I need is a way of automatically searching through each of the 21 RAW folders individually using the JPEG filenames as reference, to copy the matching CR2 files to a new location. then repeat that automation 20 more times right?
Please if anyone has insight here it would be hugely appreciated and save me days of work! I'm at my computer doing this manually all day so if anything is unclear then please ask and I will clarify.
Thank you all for your time!
Ben

Are you using Aperture? When you say "folder" do you refer to Folders in Aperture or folders in Finder?
What do you mean by "JPEG selects"? Images in Aperture have no specified file format until you create a new file by exporting.
If everything is in Aperture, what you want should be possible.

Can't separate raw files from jpegs in my ipad iphoto...

i recently purchased iphoto for my ipad but i cannot separate raw files from jpegs. i can see them all in my imac and save all files properly, but then i would like to erase raw files and keep only jpegs in my ipad but cannot find how to do it! any help? thank you!

yes I am importing pairs raw+jpeg using the camera connection kit. for what I understood reading the entire discussion you suggested, the solution is, after saving the files elsewhere, to delete the photos, but ipad would erase only raw files, leaving the jpeg. but I tried with one photo, and after deleting it, the photo was gone entirely!..
also, I still cannot see both pictures (raw and jpeg) in my ipad iphoto. i can see them in my imac iphoto, but it seems the program runs differently according to the device.. that would make things so much easier for everybody!
a button 'select all' would also be appreciated I am sure!

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

Importing RAW files from Nikon D810 help

Photoshop Elements 12 will not import RAW files from Nikon D810. Why & help?

Hi,
Support for the D810 has only just been released in camera raw 8.6 but a version for PSE has not so far been released.
My suspicion is that Adobe are about to announce a new version of PSE and may not provide support for the D810 in PSE 12 - but I could be wrong.
For now, the only thing you could do is to download the DNG 8.6 converter and use that to convert your NEF files to DNG files. Then PSE 12 can use the DNG files.

Having a problem isolating RAW files from Jpegs into separate folders.

I have understood it to be that all file (photo) organization in Elements should be done in the Organizer. However, I took over 500 shots in RAW + Jpeg, so now I want to place the RAW files in a separate folder so I can make thumbnails from the Jpegs to allow the subjects to select which photos they want copies of. I will then work on those RAW files. However, Organizer lists the files in filename order, so manually selecting the CR2 files would be a pain in the butt. Is there a way in Organizer to sort by size or sort by file extension ... anything other than filename? Can files be directed to individual folders when first downloaded? If I sort the files in Windows Explorer and move them, does that mess up the cataloging in Organizer?

A --- "Find > by Filename" ? That is the default, and already shows in this sequence. Filename creates a sequence of CR2, Jpeg, XMP, CR2, Jpeg, XMP, CR2, Jpeg, XPM, etc. etc.
Clearly, you haven't understood properly. It is not a default. I am referring to a menu option. You go to the Find menu in the PSE organizer, then select "by Filename" and then type in CR2 and press ENTER.
B --- again, not sure if Adobe just didn't understand the question or I am too dense to understand the answer. I am going to reduce the size of the Jpeg files so I can upload them to an online gallery so the clients can view the shots taken. I am obviously not going to upload the RAW files or the XPM (I assume the thumbnail created to allow the RAW file to be displayed in the viewfinder or on screen.) I don't want to reduce the size of the originals (obviously), so I can use the "Process Multiple Files" in Elements to copy the Jpegs and make smaller copies for upload. I DO NOT want to have to hold the CTRL key down while I select 250 individual Jpeg files manually since that is the ONLY option in the sort sequence they appear in currently. If Adobe provided the ability to sort the files in a folder "by size" or "by extension", then I could easily deal with only the Jpegs, but in their infinite wisdom, Adobe neglected to include the ability to handle files by this logical method. So my only option appears to be to create a new folder and put the CR2 (and XPM) files in the new folder until I am ready to post-process the files chosen by my client.
Obviously, you didn't understand. If you want to reduce the size of your JPGs and then upload, you select the JPGs by Find > by Filename, so then yout have all the JPGs found; and then Ctrl-A to select them all, and then create the reduced size photos via File->Export->As New File. (Of course, you can also do this to the RAWs as well, resulting in a reduced size JPG -- and then you don't even need the original JPGs)
The point of my inquiry was to find out if Adobe DID provide a way to dealing with a large number of files in a logical and efficient manner, and the response above doesn't really tell me that they did. My assumption from the above response is that Adobe did NOT provide an efficient method of isolating files by type or size.
The efficient way of doing this has been explained, and does exist in PSE.
Or am I just too dense to understand an easy, quick solution to dealing with ONLY the Jpegs, resizing them for quick and view-only upload to a gallery, and retaining the integrity of the Elements organizer.???????

New iMac user alert * how do I separate RAW files from jpeg files in iPhoto? So that I can open them in cs5?

I installed cs5 last night, and I am trying to open just the raw files that I imported into iphoto, but cant seem to find a way to separate them. In ps, when I go to open them up, they all appear as if they are jpegs, even though they sit in pairs (jpeg and raw). Any help would be great! I am a new mac user, and I think I am in way over my head here. I didnt think this would be that tough, I usually adapt to software pretty well. thanks!!! Oh and any other links that you could recommend to me would be wonderful...seeing as though I am going to need the help!!!

There is an advanced option to send the raw file. Root through the preferences. You can also export (to the desktop, say) and set the kind to original.
To *find* your raw files you can use a smart album.

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

How do I locate RAW files to export from a managed library?

I have a decade's worth of managed Aperture libraries. The majority of the Masters are jpeg files but at least 30% of the originals are raw files. I am wanting to change to a referenced library structure which is accessible from other applications. Can anyone tell me how I can tell, from within Aperture, which projects are raw based and how to retrieve these raw image files? I expect there is a simple answer which will prompt a "duh" and a forehead slap but it is eluding me at the moment. I know that if I open the library package and rummage around I can locate raw files but the context is lost and often utterly confusing in the arcane folder structure Aperture uses.

You can create smart albums or searches in Aperture to find all images with RAW original files.
Use the command: File > New > Smart album
Then add a rule from the "Add Rule" drop down menu to the Smart Settings HUD:
"File Type is RAW"
and click the checkmark next to the rule.
This will show you all images that are RAW.
Just to be sure, you know, that you need to be careful not to move or modify referenced images in any way by accessing them from other applications, right?

How can I locate the original .CR2 / Raw file from Photos in finder?

How can I locate the original .CR2 / RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program. I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.

http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.

Hello- I am a Canon photographer. I use Bridge (CS5) to process my raw files to jpegs. I am taking on a second photographer who shoots Nikon (D800) and i am not currenty able to see or process his images. Can you please help? thankyou!

Hello- I am a Canon photographer. I use Bridge (CS5) to process my raw files to jpegs. I am taking on a second photographer who shoots Nikon (D800) and i am not currently able to see or process his images. Can you please help? thank you!

According to Adobe:
D800
NEF
6.7, 7.1
4.1
D800E
NEF
6.7, 7.1
4.1
The fact that they have 2 versions of ACR means that initial support for the D800 was added in 6.7 but that complete support was finalized in 7.1 (the 4.1 in the chart is for Lightroom)
I'm not sure that this means there are missing features, but rather refinements and optimized settings were added in 7.1
However, ACR 7.1 requires CS6.
As Dag mentioned, you can also use the latest version of DNG Converter to convert the D800 files to DNGs which will be able to be opened in older versions of ACR.
The DNG converter only works on folders of files, not individual files. So just select the folder and convert. All the files in the folder will be converted.

I can't load raw files from a Leica d-lux 6. Says it's an unsupported file. Help please!

I cannot load raw files from a Leica d-lux 6. Aperture says it's an unsupported file. How do I get it to be a supported file? Help, please!

What is your Aperture version? Here is the list of supported raw formats for Aperture 3, see: Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
Your camera is not on the list. Use the software that came with your camera to convert your raw files to dng or tiff images; then you can import the images into Aperture and work with them, while waiting for Apple to release raw support for your camera. Or shoot raw+jpeg pairs and use the jpeg while you are waiting.
Is Mac OS X (10.5.1) really your current operating system? Then you may need to upgrade, when Apple finally releases raw support for your camera. The newest raw support required Aperture 3.4. to be installed.

Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

Useing a PC
Have Photoshop CS5
Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Moved my Raw files from Windows to MAC - did they automatically turned to JPEG???

Very new to the MAC!!! I just loaded Elements 6 for the MAC on my new Macbook Pro. I had
about 500 photos that I transferred from my old PC via USB drive to the Mac to Iphoto. They were shot RAW+JPEG. When I open them, it appears in Iphoto that I really have 2 jpegs - on my old PC I have two files per photo - A blue PSE and a Jpeg. What transferred to Iphoto is 2 JPEGS that are basically the same size as their Windows counterparts - 9 MB and 2 MB, respectively. They both have JPEG extensions and when I open the large one in PSE6, i get the regular PSE6 menu - not the RAW options for adjusting WB, temperature, histograph, tint, exposure, etc!!! Am I a complete Moron???? I think so!!! I was expecting to have this all work like my PC? Basically - what is going on, where are my raw files and converter and what do I need to do to work on raw files on the MAC?????? Thanks and I am really enjoying this computer. But getting the cross platform transfer from Adobe was a ***** (10-12 calls over 10 days - and cost $28! Thanks for any help

I knew you would come to the rescue, Barbara!!! And you are right! I do have CR2 files on the PC and I drag/drop them to the USB drive - where they stay CR2. It is in the importing to IPhoto that IPhoto turns them into JPEG (I notice when the CR2 file goes over, for a millisecond - the resolution of the thumbnail gets a little less sharp - so I guess that is what is happening). At any rate, when I just connected the USB drive and dragged the CR2 file to a folder on my MAC and opened it with PSE6 - all was perfect!!!! It opened with the RAW converter!!! - YOU are absolutely right! Iphoto doesn't know how to handle RAW. So, I guess that is how I will transfer over RAW files from my PC. BTW - in Image Capture - it was set to "no application". Should I keep it that way and just import files from my Canon 40D (which will come over from a card reader) to a temporary desktop folder? Thanks again!!!!

Camera raw won't open my raw files from bridge. Mac user, camera, Nikon D800, latest camera raw update is installed. Help!!

I don't get a photo preview in bridge of my raw files, just the NEF file thing. Then when I click to open them I get a message that says: "If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates" "If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111". I can't seem to figure out what to do! Help Please!?

Usually the problem with a newer Nikon camera is that the NEF files have been transferred or viewed with obsolete Nikon software, like Nikon Transfer for View NX, and those change something in the header of the raw file that makes it unrecognizable to Adobe products.
For new images, the solution is to either stop using Nikon products to transfer and view your files or update your Nikon products to be as new as your camera.
There is a utility to fix this particular corruption here:
