LR won't convert my raws to jpeg

This problem started a couple of days ago. When exporting. I naturally chose 'jpeg' but it doesn't convert the photos which of course means they are unusable. iPhoto is able to convert them, so it's an issue with LR.

Thank you Thomas! Renaming the folder seems to have done the trick. I have to admit as a new user, I'm baffled by LR's filing system, especially since filing organization is supposedly it's strong suit. Based on what just happened, how would I get all my photos that are related to the same subject in one folder?
Perhaps a clarification is in order ... "Filing organization" (in my opinion) has never been Lightroom's strong suit, and Lightroom offers no improvement in "filing organization" over your operating system.
Lightroom does offer ways to organize photos that have nothing to do with the file location or folder location/name. These ways to organize include keywords, captions and other metadata. These are Lightroom's strong suit. These allow you to organize and search independently of file and folder location, for example, you can find all photos of waterfalls, regardless of the folder they are located in, via assigning keywords to photos as appropriate and then searching for all photos with keyword "waterfall".
Thus, to answer your question, you can assign a keyword to all photos "that are related to the same subject", rather than moving them to folders. Then, when you want to find them and/or do something with them, you would search for all photos with the specified keyword. As I said, this allows you to find these photos and do something with these photos, even if they are located in many different folders.

  • Saving from bridge and converting from raw to jpeg

    why can I not convert from raw to jpeg in bridge (camera raw) and save to a location different from the  original

    Yep sure can.
    In bridge select your picture(s) then edit in camera raw.
    In camera raw look in the bottom left of the camera raw dialog box and you will see a save as button.
    This will allow you to save your raw files as jpg, tiff or pngs.

  • Hidden file when converting from raw to jpeg. How to delete this?

    I just found out that when converting raw into jpeg in Photoshop there is a hidden file enclosed starting with ._ Computers don't see them but televisions do. I discovered this because I want to show a batch of my images on a television with a usb of a sd card. It shows my images and after each normal image I get a black image with a questionmark. It says 'cannot read this file' and it shows the name of the image but with a ._ in front of it. For instance garden.jpg and then -_garden.jpg. Computers don't read images starting with ._ but televisions seem to do so. I want to delete these ._ images because I cannot show a slide show of my images on a television. Anyone can help? It seems that this hidden file is incorporated into the jpeg file.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks. I have thought of this solution but these files are not showing when I set it this way. I had a specialist helping me to find this problem and he was very surprised that these hidden files didn't show up in his special program for showing hidden information. Only when going deeper and deeper into this program these files showed on his computer. As they are incorporated into the original file (the jpeg version) you don't seem to be able to delete them. What do people do when they want to show (jpeg converted from raw)images on their tv?
    I have a Mac if that helps.

  • "Convert" from RAW to JPEG?

    I normally shoot in RAW so I have the power to make more accurate corrections, if needed. 90% of the time I don't need the RAW image after I've made adjustments, however. Here's what I would like to accomplish using Aperture 3:
    -Import RAW images
    -Make adjustments to photos as needed
    -"Convert" all images 3 stars and below to JPEG and replace (i.e. DELETE) all associative Master RAW images.
    What I've been doing is exporting all the images to my desktop after I've made the adjustments, delete all the photos out of the album, and re-import the JPEG images into the album.
    Obviously, this is not a very efficient method and a "convert" option would be nice to use if it's present.

    The answer is 'No'.
    There is no way of doing what you want, many of us in the real world would love that. I for one understand your question from the stand point of I don't want to save every image I ever take in RAW because of the file size.
    If you camera can support taking photos in RAW+Jpeg, then there is a route to take that is discussed in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2375402&start=0&tstart=0
    In essence, with RAW+Jpeg, you take a photo in both formats. Note the Jpeg version captures the photo with your camera settings intact (i.e. Creative mode settings, saturation, picture style 'stuff' as an example).
    You import (have to choose in import, bottom right corner...outlined in above thread) and then choose which you want to keep Raw and which to keep in jpeg.
    That is, for the moment, the best route to take....if you can. Not all cameras offer Raw+Jpeg.
    Best of luck! I know your pain!

  • Convert from RAW to Jpeg on iPad?

    Do any of the 3rd party photography apps let you convert RAW images to Jpeg on the iPad itself?
    Do any of them let you change the resolution, especially resize to 72 dpi for Web viewing?

    I don't know of any applications that can access the actual RAW data.
    Even the iPad photos app doesn't really understand RAW ... I believe that it is just showing you the embedded jpg that exists in all RAW formats.
    I believe that some of the photo apps (such as "Photogene for iPad") can also read in the embedded jpg and resize / adjust / etc. the photo and then let you send the photo to other apps such as Facebook. How well this will work will depend on the size of the embedded jpg in the RAW format you use. My camera is the 5D mark II which has full resolution jpg files. Other cameras (like the original 5D) have much smaller embedded jpgs.

  • How do I convert multiple RAW files to JPEG with the same settings?

    I have a considerable number (800) RAW files to convert to JPEGs. I am happy to convert them in batches requiring similar settings to save time whilst of course, leaving the original RAW files to make more individual adjustments if required later.
    I thought there was a way of doing this in small batches to save time but can't recall how to do it. 
    Can anyone help?

    Many thanks Barbara and dj_paige.
    What I didn't mention is that I'm using PSE 5 with ACR 4.6, if its relevant.  I'm thinking of updating to the next version when its out in the hope that it will run with Windows 7 64 bit or I may go to Lightroom.
    I can now see that I can batch convert a whole folder of files using "process multiple files" as dj_paige suggested but that is too many at once as the settings I choose won't be relevant for all the pics in the folder. 
    I was hoping to batch convert say 5 or 6 similar photos at a time with the same settings. I'm not quite clear what you're suggesting but I'm hoping that its a "work round" using two stages to achieve this. 
    I can't see a list of open files within ACR to ensure that they are all selected as you suggest. 
    What does clicking Open rather than Done mean?  Does this amend the original RAW file to the settings selected so that if I then "process multiple files" on the whole folder to convert from RAW to JPEG they will in fact have already been processed in smaller groups so I can convert without applying any further changes?
    If so, what settings should I apply to "process multiple files" to ensure a simple conversion of file type rather than any further adjustments?
    Any further help on this would be much appreciated.

  • Crashing when exporting Raw to Jpeg Windows

    when converting from raw to jpegs sometimes my computer crashes completely, a complete stop!!!!
    other times it comes up with problem and needs to shut down listing
    AppName: lightroom.exe     AppVer: 3.6.0.10   ModName: msvcr100.dll
    ModVer: 10.0.30319.415      Offset: 00010b90

    ModVer: 3.6.0.10   Offset: 001fc314
    no phone was connected to my pc,  the problem is when i run up lightroom, sometimes i can use it then it may suddenly crash the computer switching off completley, other times it says lightroom has a problem and needs too shut down the bout info is what is shown as the problem. hope this helps.

    I know this is an old thread, but I have the same problem and am hoping perhaps to get some new feedback.  I also have used all the same settings,
    the best quality settings that I can do on export, but the quality I get when I convert to JPG is very poor. I do save at 100% because I want to send some of my images to stock agencies that want JPGs but at the very best possible quality.  I have experimented in changing the resolution to 300, resizing to 18MP (which is the native size from my camera (Canon 7D), leaving the resizing box unchecked, and tried all all levels and types of sharpening, and none of these settings makes any improvement.  I honestly do not think this is an issue of color calibration.  The images that I get when I convert from RAW to JPG are are very poor quality, but not so much noise as they appear pixelated.  I am going to try to attach a screen capture of a RAW image and a JPG that has been converted.  Realize there is a bit of loss of quality in both of these images as they were done by the print screen function, then saved as BMP and then JPG..But doing it this way actually produced a much better quality image than exporting the RAW file to JPG in LR3. Both of these images were saved at 100%
    The image at the top is a small segment of the RAW capture at 100% and the bottom one is a segment of the same area of the exported JPG at 100% Note the writing and how it is very pixelated. I think you would agree that it is quite a deterioration in quality.  Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I'm sorry that the images do not appear to be showing up on the thread.  They do show up when I uploaded them and when I edit them, but I don't see them once I do the update.  Any suggestions there would be appreciated as well.

I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out.  How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
    Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
    I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
    Advice desperately needed

    Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    According to this excerpt:
    To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
    which is at the bottom of this page:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
    I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

    Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • How do i convert a RAW photo to JPEG in elements 12??? Thanks for any help!

    How can i convert a RAW photo to JPEG using Elements 12??

    In general, you open and edit the RAW photo in Adobe Camera RAW, and then either
    click on Done and then in the Organizer, FIle->Export->As New File and select JPG
    click on Open and then in the Editor do a File->Save As and select JPG
    You would NOT want to convert an un-edited RAW to a JPG in general, as you would lose all the benefits of RAW (superior image quality) and while retaining all of the disadvantages of RAW (larger file size, extra steps needed, specialized software needed)

  • How do i convert raw to jpeg in aperture

    How do I convert raw to jpeg in Aperture 3 ?

    I find all this rather strange! I often convert RAW to Jpeg if I want to keep an image for reference but it doesn't merit or require the 8 to 10MB of the RAW file (on my computer, my external drive, or anywhere else). For example, I take photos of artefacts in museums, and I also photograph the labels/legends beside them, for reference. I can keep those solely as quite small Jpegs since I'm never going to want to print them.
    (No, I don't want to switch settings on the camera while I do this - I'll only forget to switch back, and then have loads of low-res Jpegs that were meant to be glorious RAW).
    In other software I've used, there's a batch convert that makes this very simple. Seems that in Aperture I'm obliged to export and then re-import. Not a big deal, but a slight pain in the arse all the same, and a little odd.
    Anyway, thanks to the above posts, I now know how to do the export-import malarkey. I couldn't find it in the manual.
    cheers,
    Helen

  • I need to get the Adobe Camera Raw to convert my Raw shots to jpeg.  Do I buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop CC?  I am not a professional photographer and am only using photoshop sparingly.

    I need to get the Adobe Camera Raw to convert my Raw shots to jpeg.  Do I buy Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC or can I just get simply the ACR?  I am not a professional photographer and am only using photoshop sparingly.  I currently have an old version of Photoshop, the Photoshop CS4.  Thanks.

    The program would stop, but the files would remain on your computer. Before stopping, you could do a batch convert to tiff or png, with a strong recommendation for tiff. Png only support transparency whereas tiff supports layers, live type, transparency, etc.
    Keep in mind the app you open the tiff file in may not support all of those features, but it could if they tried.
    The psd files I would backup to a cd or dvd before removing for space, but if you have the room, keep them as some apps do support psd files.
    Best part is when you are ready, you can start your subscription again and use all of those files once again.

  • Convert RAW to jpeg

    Hello,
    I'm using Aperture to organize my photos and have been shooting in RAW. I'd say that out of 100 pics, I might take advantage of the RAW format to edit 5 of them. I'm new to photography and during the learning process have taken a lot of pics of, for example, my dog that I really don't need in RAW format but don't want to delete altogether. I intend to continue shooting in RAW, but would like to convert my older pics to JPEG as I've filled up my external hard drive that my library is kept on (I'm using a 2006 core duo macbook). I know the usual advice is "never convert raw to jpeg to save space, just buy a new hard drive," but I really don't need 500+ pics of my dog in RAW format, jpeg will be 100% fine, and don't want to shell out the money for a new hard drive right now (although eventually I will.)
    My question is: is there a way to selectively convert my photos or even entire projects from RAW to jpeg and maintain the organization structure? I know I can export to JPEG, but then I have to re-import and re-organize them all, correct? Either way, I then have to go through and delete the RAW versions, right?
    Thanks,
    John

    I have a desktop PC with 4 internal drives that I'm backing up my images to over my wireless network on a (somewhat) regular basis, so if/when the external does crash, i've got the images backed up. The problem is that I've only got a 60Gb in the laptop, and a 320Gb external that is partitioned to allot 90Gb for time machine and the rest shared between music and photos, which has filled up pretty quickly. I'm looking into a 1TB external for the future, but I really like my 320 western digital as it is USB powered and really great for on-the-go. Maybe I'll think about a smaller library on the 320 and the permanent library on the 1TB. In the meantime, I need to free up some space on the external one way or another.
    Thanks,
    John

  • When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there anything I can do about this ?

    When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there any way to prevent this ?

    Hi Joe , Thank you for your quick response . I am viewing the jpeg in Microsoft Picture Manager and Flickr. It 's not always really noticeable , but for example if I shoot into the light with dew on the grass , the dew glistens in LRoom and I'm happy with the shot but when I convert it to jpeg ,it looks dull. I have changed the setting to sRGB - from Adobe 1998 ,but don't see much difference.  Kind regards   Alberto.
