LR doesn't auto import Jpegs after editing in PS

I have searched the internet and cannot find an answer for this.  When I am in LR and right click and choose to edit in photoshop, then retouch it and then save as a jpeg, LR does not automatically import the jpeg into the catalog.   So I synchronize the folder and it imports them in but then won't put by the original, even when I sort by name.  I want this to be automatic.  It was on my older version of LR but the new one I downloaded doesn't do it automatically and I can't figure out how to auto import the jpegs.
I am not tech saavy so go easy on me.

Ah, I think I have it figured out. My Canon software was also setup to push the image into LR as a registered application. With that disabled the auto import seems to be doing what I want. For anyone reading this later... Simply set the current image view to the preview size you want and all the imported images should open up at that preview size.

  • How to Delete imported JPEGS after matching RAW files are imported as masters

    Using a 5D Mark III and shoot JPEG (SD) and RAW (CF).
    Aperture 3.5.1, using a managed library
    Perviously, using a 7D so new to shooting JPEG and RAWs from an aperture Aperture workflow standpoint.
    I know that i can import the JPEGs > delete images that do not make the cut > then import the matching RAW files in the import dialogue that correspond to the JPEGs in the Aperture Library.
    I use the RAW files as my Camera Master images and once the RAW files are imported, the smaller resolution JPEGs are no longer needed or viewed in my normal edit workflow.  I only need the JPEGs to quickly go through the images to find out which RAW files i need to import at a later time to increase the speed of import > edit > deliver.
    My Assumptions:
    1.  Logic would lead me to believe that after import the user should see a stack like image representation with whatever file type is considered Master to be on top and the viewable secondary file type on the bottom.  clicking on the image stack should allow you to see both file types as you would normally see with image stacks with the same files types.  This is not the case...  What am i missing here?
    2.  Logic again would lead me to believe that when i have the ability to delete one of the 2 image types as i do not need both in the end.  After the import process is complete and RAWs are backed up, I want to delete the JPEG files as they are just taking up more space on my DAS drive array...  There is no need to keep a duplicate of every file in both JPEG and RAW format.  This is not the case as when i delete the JPEG or RAW, both files formats are deleted simultaneously.  What am i missing here?
    Problems: (correspond to Assumptions above)
    1.  I do not seem to have access to both images (JPEG & RAW) in a stack where i can expand and close the stack to see both?  It seems like i only have access to the image type i have selected as Master?  This seems counter intuitive to what the workflow should be as why would aperture 'lock the secondary file types away' so you can't easily view both file types as the same time for comparison?
    2a.  Reality seems to be that i do not have access to the JPEG and RAW image files.  I can only see one at a time by selecting the images and choosing 'make JPEG master’ and then respectively... 'make RAW master', but you can't see both at the same time for file comparison.
    2b.  Also, I can't find a way to delete the JPEG images after the RAW files have been imported.  I would presume most professional photographers shoot RAW and do not shoot JPEG as their camera master or editing master images.  I do not understand why aperture has captured both as a pair in the library that does not allow me to delete the JPEG (in this case) as i have selected the RAW as my master.
    If someone can please help...  The function seems like either i am missing something obvious or that the implemented function of using RAW + JPEGs files for import is broken from a real world workflow standpoint.

    leonie...
    thank you for clearing that up for me.
    I think that at this point it is silly to use the JPEG+RAW import functionality as it seems that it takes longer to do the above steps than to just import only the RAW files and press on from there.
    I seems what i have done in the past of only importing the RAW files and then using the quick preview functionality to reduce image load times is the best thing in can come up with without keeping 'duplicates' in the database.
    That really baffels me that there is no built in functionality to remove the JPEG from a RAW+JPEG pair and i wonder how the real world photographers who help Apple test and implement software to solve real world workflow problems thought the JPEG+RAW import was going to be used.
    I do understand that i can use a smaller JPEG file size to reduce the bloat of the database, but used over hundreds of thousands of images is certainly going to make a dent in my total aperture database size and therefore storage needs down the road.
    If you have any other workflow thoughts, or know of a 3rd party plugin/ etc... to fix this obvious shortcoming then i am all ears..
    thank you again Leonie and have a great week

  • Importing jpegs for editing

    Sorry to start this thread because I have read
    some of the past replies to my same question that others have submitted but I can't
    seem to get a handle on my problem.  I have some pic/jpeg fi
    les that I want to import to my video.  After reading your replies to others with questions I have learned that the files should be edited down to 1000 x 750 px's.  I received these pic files in an email.  I have tried to edit them or import them to my project and I get this error message that they are not in the correct format although they are in jpeg just heavier than they should be.  Any help you can offer is appreciated.  I read one of Hunt's articles but his explanation is way over my paygrade in this matter lol.
    Jim

    It appears that Jim's client used an e-mail client program, like Outlook (though they are on a Mac), that structures Image Attachments a bit differently. They are put into a .DAT wrapper. I encountered those some years ago, with one client using the then-current Outlook. I struggled with them, but found a utility from the UK, that was cheap, and did batch extraction of the files from the .DAT wrapper.
    While experimenting, I tried doing a Save_As of the .DAT files, as [File Name].JPEG, and got [File Name].JPEG.DAT. In Windows Explorer, I just went in and deleted the ".DAT" from the file name, and then the JPEG files Opened fine in Photoshop CS2. I did not bother to Scale the Images in PS, but just Imported them into PrE 4.0, where they were fine, with no interaction, or changes in PS. I did have to Scale to Frame Size, to fill the Video Frame, in my test Project,but all was fine.
    I hope that this helps others, if they get JPEG Images wrapped in the .DAT container via e-mail.
    Hunt
    PS - I do not know all of the e-mail client programs, that use the .DAT "wrapper," and have not seen similar in some years. Please note: those .DAT files are NOT the system .DAT files. I would NOT try getting those into PrE.

  • IPhoto cannot convert Tiff to Jpeg after editing.

    I have a set of very high resolution scans made on an 11" x 17" Epson scanner that I would like to edit in iPhoto. iPhoto imports these files (which are 450 MB or so in size) (sometimes) allows me to edit them - - and sometimes it crashes when I attempt to edit these files - - but when I attempt to export them as maximum resolution jpegs it says it can't do so. Once I've quit iPhoto and then start it again the edited image disappears when I double click it. My guess is that file is simply too large for iPhoto.

    I Additionally, when I convert the file using the save as command in Preview, I can convert it into a jpeg or jpeg2000 and it is much smaller (71GB for example), but the same anomalous behavior occurs when I finish editing the file and quit iPhoto- - when I double click the thumbnail, the full sized image appears briefly and then disappears. leaving in its place a completely black window. I would be most appreciative of any insights.
    Thanks.

  • How can I tell LR not to automatically import pictures after editing and saving?

    Whenever I open a RAW file from LR into Photoshop and save it within Photoshop as a tiff or whatever, it gets automatically imported to the LR catalog. Is there a way to avoid this?

    Jim,
    I know that it`s not a raw as soon as it`s in PS. That`s why I open it as smart object.
    One more question: In the preferences there is an option "stack with original". I would expect the tiff or psd to be in a stack with the raw file. But it doesn`t get stacked with it. So what is the option supposed to do?
    It does stack with the original on my computer. Opening the raw image in Photoshop as a smart object does allow you to go back to the raw file in Camera Raw. And it adjusts the raw file. But when you close Camera Raw you are back working on the image in Photoshop. All the work you do in Photoshop is saved in the TIF or PSD. If you then go back to Lightroom and delete that TIF or PSD file you have thrown away all the adjustments done in Photoshop. Of course the raw file will be impacted by the adjustments that you made in Camera Raw, and it affected the TIF or PSD. But you're still throwing away all the Photoshop work.

  • Problem saving files as JPEGs after editing them as CR2 files

    I took some photos in RAW format and used Photoshop CS2 to make my lighting adjustments (in the Photoshop RAW viewer). For most photos, I just clicked the "Save" button, and I had the option to convert and save the file as JPEG, TIFF, etc. But I had some additional changes to make in Photoshop using layers, so I clicked "Open" first before saving, and worked in the general Photoshop window. But after making my changes, I clicked "Save as" and the long list of file options to choose from was no longer there, and I only had the option of saving the file as: Photoshop, Cineon, Large Document Format, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, PNG, TIFF. I really need to save it as a JPEG, but it is not one of the options. I have flattened all the layers, and am working in RGB color mode.
    If anyone could help me understand why I can't save this as a JPEG, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

    Convert the files from 16 bit to 8 bit and you be able to save your jpeg.

  • SE07 doesn't show Import status after upgrade to ECC 6.0

    Hi,
    we were on 4.7 and we recently upgraded to ECC 6.0 EHP4. When we were on 4.7, after a release, we used to monitor the import status of all the transports going in, using transaction SE07. Looks like this transaction wouldn't work anymore in ECC6.
    I can access the transaction, but I cannot expand the "Execution" to see the status of the transports which went in today. 4.7 used to show all the transports which were impoerted on that day.
    I know we can check the import logs by pulling up each transport, but SE07 will show you a consolidated list with all the detail and will be very easy to find what we are looking for.
    We are on Oracle 11g on Solaris 10. Please help.

    I donot think it is an authorization problem. I have tried with a test user with full permissions and also with DDIC user, but still the same.

  • After Edit Library Item-  "Premature end of JPEG file"

    Hello, I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  In DW CS5 after editing a Library item and saving, DW asks if it should update pages containing the item.  I tell it to go ahead, and after some processing I get an error box titled "JPEG Library Error."  The message is "Premature end of JPEG file."  Nothing else except "OK"!  I can't imagine what this is referring to or if the error is causing the pages to not be updated with the edited lbi.  I don't have any JPEG images i nthe Library item.  Here's a link to the Libraty item:
    http://www.techno-archive.com/Library/bottom_menu.lbi
    After I dismiss the error in DW the Update Pages dialog sits there with the Done button grayed out.  The bottom few lines of the log look like this:

    An answer to this thread dated April 30, 2009 of the same subject by David_Powers, community Professional, did the trick.  I wound up renaming the DW Configuration folder in C:\Users\dmckeen\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration (where dmckeen is my username) and letting DW rebuild it.

  • After unarchive a repository, the auto import is not working

    Hi All,
    I've met a problem when I archived a repository and unarchive it using another repository name:
    I can login to it by Console, and Data manager, etc. But when I put a input file to the Ready folder of its port, the file is not processed by the Import Server. On the other hand, all the other repositories on that server remain fine and the auto-import is normal.
    Could any one tell me if there is any other Config shold be done to make the import work?
    PS: still the 5.5 version, not 7.1.
    Thanks,

    Hi Angela,
    If you are using any password for Admin user then same needs to be mentioned in MDIS.ini file. Check the below steps
    1. Open MDIS.ini file located in <MDM Insallation directory>/Import Server
    2. Navigate to your repository section
    3. Remove the character 'E' from the entry PasswordE
    4. Write the password of Admin user i.e. Password = abc
    5. Restart the Import Server once and check the same password entry, it should get converted to PasswordE and the value should be some characters.
    6. Now check the Auto Import

  • Imports from Photoshop CS2 after editing

    I frequently use Photoshop CS2 to edit my digital photographs; however, I like to use iPhoto to view or otherwise manipulate the images into different albums, slideshows, or uploads to my .mac account. When I open iPhoto to import a photo edited in photoshop, I get an "Unreadable file" error message stating that the requested image is "an unrecognized file type or that the does not contain valid data." I can't get the edited photos added to the iPhoto library.
    I've tried importing photos saved in several different formats - jpeg, RAW, TIFF - with no luck.
    Is it possible to import an image into iPhoto from Photoshop? If so, what am I doing wrong? thank you.

    Kyle:
    Also if you set iPhoto to use PS as the editor of choice by going into iPhoto's General preferences and selecting PS in the "Edit photo:" menu. Then when you double click on a thumbnail, PS will open, you can edit the picture and save it. This way the thumbnail will be updated as well.

  • Unable to Edit Imported Jpeg files.

    I'm currently using iPhoto 9.6 and OS 10.10.   I have created jpg stills from .mov projects using QT Pro and imported them successfully into a previous version of iPhoto where I was able to crop them and make rudimentary color and exposure adjustments.  With the new iPhoto 9.6 I cannot.  I get an error message "Image Cannot Be Edited.  The original format is not supported."
    So I am assuming the only way to edit these imported jpegs is to open them in Lightroom or Photoshop make my adjustments and then attempt to re-import them into iPhoto or maybe just stop using iPhoto all together for this kind of file?

    Yes "master" copies of files - those located in the iPhoto >>package contents >> Masters folder organized by import date - once they have been edited from within iPhoto (exposure corrections, cropping, straightening, etc) become the master copies.
    Bewilderingly vague. They are the masters. They are never edited. The photos are edited and the results recorded in the SQL database. The never "become the Master copies". They are the Masters and never become anything.
    To prove this I have selected a master file from with this directory and created a copy of it on the desktop where I gave it a new name, then re-imported it to iPhoto and re-opened it there.  It is a virtual clone of the original edited file - edited from within iPhoto save for its name - an "edited master". 
    If you made a copy of a Master then it's not a virtual clone it's an actual clone. "It is a virtual clone of the original edited file" Huh? What's an "original edited file"? It's a Master or something else? Which is it? There is no concept in iPhoto of 'edited Master'. There are Masters. That's the file as imported from your camera. It is never edited. End of story.
    Subsequently from within iPhoto I have chosen the original photo - the one that had been modified to begin with - and reverted this file to its original version.  So then I had two masters of the same shot - one edited and one in its originally imported state.  Why did I do this (and originate this post)?
    No you didn't. You had two masters to begin with and thereafter you had two masters at the end. When you reverted to original all you did was delete the edit decisions for the database and destroy a preview. In no case was the Master touched.
    The terminology is important because it explains how the app works. You're conflating photos (which are edited in iPhoto) with files (which are never edited in iPhoto), all photo edits are virtual until baked in on export. That's why the concept and the term Master is important. Edited Master means nothing, Master of an Edited Photo does, but that's a different thing.
    Because I could not re-edit or export these affected photos unless I first re-imported them to iPhoto by either locating the original files from storage media or making copies of them from iPhoto's package contents>>masters folder as above and importing them back into the iPhoto library.  Once I did this - there were a lot of these affected files - I could edit and export to my heart's content.  Remember, these files were modified from within earlier versions iPhoto itself.  Yes, some files had been converted to jpegs from original PICT exports out QT Pro using Photoshop Elements.
    Because your database was corrupted. It has nothing to do with Masters/Versions or anything else. It was broken.
    How do I explain this apparent corruption of the iPhoto library database?  Disclaimers to the contrary, I put the onus on having to convert the db every time there is an app iteration which is sometimes coupled with an OS upgrade (like with Yosemite).  I suspect that the file metadata is susceptible to corruption during these upgrades.  It is the only variable in an otherwise static and stable environment that could possibly result in library corruption short of hardware failure.
    That's one possibility. Here are some more: anytime the app is interrupted writing to the database - by a crash, hang or even a power surge, bad blocks on a disk - there are many possibilities..
    And again, there is no need to convert the db "every time there is an app iteration". There are updates when it is not necessary. And, as I keep on saying, OS upgrades make no difference. It's app upgrades only.

  • PSE 10 will not edit large picture files after it accepts them. After editing it either changes jpeg to psd or greys out the file.  What must I do?

    PSE 10 allows large picture files into the organizer and editor but after editing, saving, and closing, the jpeg returns to the organizer either with a psd file extension or as a greyed out broken photo icon . Why does it cause users to waste time editing files that are too large. How do I solve the problem?

  • After editing a project, my imported files disappear.

    After editing a project, my imported files disappear.  White page with yellow triangle alert.  Instructions say I need to relink my files, but I can't find that option anywhere.  Version 10.0.  Using OS X 10.9.2

    Can I share and export from the 10.1.1 Trial?  My son downloaded the original for me under his apple id, I don't know what his password was so I can't upgrade.  He was killed a couple years ago so I don't have anyway to recover it.  But I'm working on a project that I need to get out right away.  Figured I'd try the new version before I buy it.  I clicked to upload to youtube, but can't tell if it's doing anything or not.

  • How can I use Auto Import to name files after the folder they are dropped into?

    I'm camera tethered on a new Macbook Pro Retina, Lightroom 5, all latest software and OS. Using  EOS Utility to connect and drop into a DROP folder. When Lightroom Autoimports, I would like it to rename the file after the destination folder. Capture One has this feature and I could have sworn I saw a drop down menu on one of the naming tokens in LR5 about a month ago.  ANY IDEAS?

    The closest you can come is to create a File Naming Template that includes "Custom Text" as a part of the file name.  Then, you will have to change the Auto Import Settings to use this Template when auto-importing and manually type that folder name in every time you change folders.  There is no "Folder" token of which I am aware.

  • When is my RAW file changed? Upon import? Upon viewing? Only after edit list started?

    All:
    I now have a "second copy" made in a separate hard drive when I import files from my camera cards. I want an untouched file for possible comparative "developing" or rendering in DxO or PhotoNinja. Might convert everything to DNG someday.
    Asking LR to do this at the top of the Import pane is I assume, creates a copy *and* makes NO changes to the RAW data.
    OTOH, Lightroom will offer me the image in Camera Raw to view, create, and interpret my edit/develop decisions. But I have been thinking about this and need to ask all of you: Is that CR2 file in my dated Lightroom database folders a changed file in any way from the RAW file while it was still on the card? The decision to hold edit data in sidecar files plays a part in this, right?  External sidecar files means even after edits I can copy the CR2 file and use it in other [RAW]converter's software?
    jonathan7007

    Being a "non-destructive editor", Lightroom does not (cannot) change your CR2 files....with one exception, which is when/if you choose to edit the capture time of an image, in which case the changed date is written back into the file header's EXIF field. But apart from that, it is never ever changed.....all edits are stored primarily in the catalog's database, and optionally you can have them written into XMP sidecars. Having the XMP sidecar would allow you to open the raw file in another XMP-capable Adobe program, outside Lightroom, and see the edits applied. Not sure if other non-Adobe raw converters would be able to interpret all of that XMP info.
    For non-proprietary raw files (e.g. DNG, Tiff), you can also choose to save the XMP data but in this case it would be written directly into the files header, not into sidecar files. The underlying image data is still, however, unchanged.
