Losing Camera Presets in RAW images

I attended a Nikon class a few weeks ago and they were, of course, pushing their own software and workflow. One of the reasons they gave for using their stuff was that many of the settings and adjustments made in the camera and saved as metadata with the RAW image, is lost when the file is imported to Aperture. One of these camera settings I like is Active-D Lighting. (I know this is easily re-corrected in Aperture but it would be nice if I didn't have to do it at all.)
Is there any way to preserve camera adjustments to Nikon RAW files in Aperture?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Short answer is Nope - outta luck.
Don't mean to rain on your parade here but not only is this a pain but NEF's seem to be Aperture's red headed step child of RAW formats.

  • Losing metadata presets applied to images

    I have one basic metadata preset that I apply to images after they have been imported. I've noticed that on a regular basis, every single image in my library loses its applied metadata preset and it reverts back to "none". For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening and I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature.
    My standard workflow is that after I import images, I select all the images in the new folder I have designated for those images and apply my specific metadata preset but it seems that a few days later or after I import new images, all metadata presets are gone again. I have noticed this issue with Lightroom 3 and again with Lightroom 4 after I have upgraded so I don't think it's related to a specific version.

    This usually happens when a change is made to a field in the metadata which is selected in the preset. For example I had a similar problem because my 2012 metadata preset had the IPTC Image section erroneously selected, with all the fields in that section null in the preset. So then when I started adding GPS data and reverse geocoding, and started filling in the location fields, the metadata preset reverted to "none" because I had changed a field in that IPTC section, and thus the applied preset was no longer valid. Note however that even though the preset name reverts to "none", all the original data applied by the preset remains (apart from the one you changed).
    So check your own preset, make sure only the fields that you won't be changing are selected.

  • Just purchased Elements12, can't download Raw images from SD card from new Panasonic Lumix DMC-Gx7. CF card from Canon 5D works fine. I understand I have to upgrade camera raw, does anyone know how to do this and where to fine it. Please and thank you..

    Can you please tell us which operating system you are running on and details of the camera producing the raw images (Make & Model).
    Each different camera model has it's own unique format of the raw file and so the camera raw has to be updated occasionally. Gives us the details above and we can help you further.
    I'm new with windows 8 and brand new computer

    FWIW, my Help/Updates does not work. My ACR is 8.0 and each time that ACR has been updated during the last year I have tried to update it through Help/Updates and each time I have received in the Application Manager window that opens the text, "Your applications are all up to date." I suppose it is possible that the fact that I have an updated copy of LIghtroom (5.6) is confusing the Application Manager.
    Because I do all my Raw processing in LR it does not really bother me that the PSE 12 ACR plugin does not update.

  • Best in Camera Raw Image settings

    Not that the camera model matters, but is there any unique in camera RAW image settings that will improve how the RAW file is interpreted by Aperture?
    For example, I shoot with a Nikon D200. I can customize how the camera "Optimizes" the RAW image by adjusting:
    1. Image Sharpening
    2. Tone Compensation
    3. Color Mode
    4. Saturation
    5. Hue
    Does Aperture recognize any of these adjustments or does it just look at the actual RAW data and compensate just for what it thinks the white balance should be?

    You don't need to do anything "in camera." Most (if not all) of those settings are ignored by Aperture, because they don't really apply to the RAW files (they are processing settings, and RAW files are effectively "negatives.").
    So color space, sharpening, saturation, etc... doesn't matter what they're set to.
    Of course, color space affects how the images are named on camera... the Adobe RGB spec mandates an underscore as first character, e.g. MG1005.jpg versis IMG_1005.jpg.

  • How do I change downloaded raw images to jpeg?

    NIKON D60 CAMERA.  Shoot Raw images at times. These get downloaded to MacBook Pro.  Could someone please instruct me how to change Raw images in the MacBook Pro to JPeg? 
    Also, is raw  the reason I cannot burn images to a disc?
    And, does Nikon NX2 Photoahop 10 interface well with my Apple computer?
    Thanks

    iPhoto, Preview, Aperture and many others will convert RAW images.
    Also, is raw  the reason I cannot burn images to a disc?
    No, the format of the file shouldn't  be interfering with burning them to a CD. How are you creating the CD?

    Sorry can;t answer this one.

  • Trouble opening RAW images w/ PSE v. 3.0

    I use a Pentax *ist DS digital slr camera to take RAW images and tried putting them into PSE v.3.0 but the program will not take them and says the format is incorrect. The format is pef whatever that is. I tried downloading camera raw updates 3.3 and 3.1 but they don't help. I assuming it's b/c of the file format, but update 3.1 says it supports Pentax *ist DS cameras, so I'm confused! My system operates on Windows XP, Media Center Edition, v. 2002.

    A lot of RAW problems are caused by incorrect installation - the plug-in file must be in the proper directory and the old plug-in removed or renamed. Take a look in c:\Program Files\Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats; Your downloaded plugin (Camera Raw.8bi) should be there, and the old one either deleted or renamed. I tack on a .bak extension, making the old file Camera Raw.8bi.bak, in case I need to remove the new one. Camera Raw 3.3 is still a beta release and will need replacement; 3.1 or 3.2 should work with the DS files.

  • Invisible raw images when importing

    I've done some reading of the forum and think I may have a unique problem. After I shoot raw images on my 20D I find that I can import the jpgs directly from the camera but the raw images do not. Any idea why? I can find them using the Canon Viewer utility.

    The same problem on Vista x64 & LightRoom 1.1 with Canon EOS 400D. The only way I found is copying CR2 files into temporary folder & import this folder manually.

  • Raw images in 3200z

    is there a plugin or update or somthing that i can use to force my 3200z digital camera to save raw image files and not jpeg compressed files?

    Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

  • When opening an image Photoshop Elements 12 is opening it in Camera Raw, it is not a RAW image and it is cropped How do I uncrop the opened image?

    When I am opening a .jpg image not an actual raw camera image from Elements 12 it is being opened as a camera Raw image and the image is cropped, I can't find anyway to get the image to uncrop or zoom out so that the entire image is visible so that I can actually edit it to something that is useable. The images were taken with an iPad and copied I suspect using the organizer from Elements 11 but I can't be sure. If I could just uncrop the opened image so that the entire image is visible this would not be a big deal.
    Is there a way to uncrop the image that is being opened by Camera Raw? Am I going to have to get my hands on the source of the images (the iPad) and copy the images again using explorer and not let them be copied with the organizer?

    Uncheck the boxes at the bottom of the dialog Scale styles and resample Image so that only constrain proportions is checked. If you the change the resolution box from 240 to 300 you will get back to your original dimensions.
    This is a meaningless thing to do, you still have the exact same number of pixels, you have only changed the metadata number in the file for ppi, and your prints are not affected by this number.
    You could also use the same method to change the dimensions to 6 x 4 or 9 x 6 etc.
    There are some cases (actually most cases) where you need to CROP the photo to change the dimensions, when the aspect ratio of the original photos is different than the aspect ratio of the final photo; the specific case in 99jon's example is the only case you ever want to change dimensions using Image->Resize->Image Size, where the aspect ratio doesn't change from 6x4 to 9x6 (or 12x8 or 18x12 or ...), and even then, you could do the same thing simply by telling the printer the size you want, you don't really need to do anything in PSE.

  • In Photoshop CS5 why does Camera Raw 6.7 not open a Crw Raw Image?

    I am running Windows XP Pro 32 bit system,with AMD ALthon  2600 processor.When I first installed Photoshop CS5 it would not open at all.After hours on the internet searching for online help from Adobe,L came across a on line chat.They said I needed a update for CS5.I downloaded the update and installed it and Photoshop opened up.Ithought this had solved my problem.Days Later I tried opening some Crw Raw Negatives.They would not open in Bridge or Mini Bridge.So I tried opening the raw image in Photoshop,a box pops up and says photoshop could not complete the task because it was the wrong image type.I have tried to get help in the General discussion forum,so far noyhing has worked.Also I forgot How to get to the online chat site,if anyonehas any ideas or where this site is It would help a lot......Thanks.

  • Loss of thumbnails of RAW images in Photoshop prior to opening them in Camera Raw

    I recently purchased and started using a Canon EOS 7D Mark II.  I found that with my Photoshop CS6 I was unable to open my RAW files in Camera Raw, so I downloaded an update of Camera Raw, viz. version 8.7.1 from the Adobe website.  Now I can open the RAW images from my new camera in Camera Raw.  However, I have lost the capacity to display a thumbnail image of a RAW file when using the open function of the file drop down menu in Photoshop. Now when I single-click on an ID number of a RAW image from the list of images, I see only a blank thumbnail.  I save lots of time using image thumbnails for selecting images for editing in Camera Raw.  Is there some way to restore the ability to see RAW image thumbnails in Photoshop prior to opening images in Camera Raw?

    Which operating system are you using?
    Are the blank thumbnails only for the files from the canon EOS 7D Mark II camera?
    An alternative is to use Bridge CS6 or Mini Bridge to see the photos before you open them in photoshop cs6.

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • Cannot Open Camera Raw Images in PS CR3

    Even though I've been a professional photographer for over 25 years, I finally decided it was time to go digital. Little did I know how overwhelming and frustrating the learning process would be, especially for an old timer like me. Well, the 10 day return period on the digital equipment and software purchase is up, so I have no choice but to move forward in the learning process. :)
    Actually, I'm excited about all the photographic possibilities that digital has to offer over film.
    The first batch of photos were taken with a new Canon 40-D in Raw + JPEG. When I open my picture folder (containing those photos) in Bridge, a CR2 icon appears next to each thumbnail image that was loaded from the camera flash card. The Bridge program is part of Photoshop CS3 that I purchased, and the 40-D has the latest firmware. (If relevant, the computer is a PC using Vista Home Edition.)
    Problem: When I double click on a JPEG image, I am able to load that image into Photoshop. When I double click on the CR2 icon, however, I get a message that says, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." What am I overlooking?
    Also, shouldn't a thumbnail Raw image appear along with its corresponding JPEG thumbnail when the content of the picture folder is opened in Bridge? As it stands now, I get only a CR2 icon next to the JPEG thumbnails.
    I would be grateful for any help you could offer.
    Many thanks.
    Bruce

    Bruce,
    When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
    http://www.luminous-landscape.com
    I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com
    I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
    The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
    I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
    I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
    Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
    Good luck,
    Rob
