LR1.4 and Raw import

Replaced Nikon D80 with D7100 and now RAW files will not import, suspect Raw plug in is out of date but my PC Windows Home XP is quite old with only 960MB of RAM, will i need to upgrade to LR4 and upgrade PC too?
Help?

I am sure that would be the best option. There is a workaround use the latest DNG Converter from Adobe (free download) to convert the raw files from the D7100 and then you will be able to use LR 1.4 with the dng files. Make sure you retain your original raw files as you will need these to be able to use the software provided by your camera manufacturer.
That said the raw processing engine in LR version is the equivalent of ACR 3.x which uses a process engine developed in 2003. The latest version of LR 4 and ACR 6 use a more advanced and superior engine Process Version 2012.
Your new camera deserves more for you to experience the true quality it can provide.

Difference in TIFF and RAW import with ACR (how to fix)?

I'm experimenting with a workflow, so whilst this may seem like an odd thing to want to make work, I have a geniune reason for doing what's described below:
I have Canon CR2 RAW files from a 7D, Photoshop CS6 13.01 64bit, with ACR 7.1.0.354, running on Windows 7 64bit.
1. I import a CR2 image via ACR, with no changes to any sliders; opening it as Adobe RGB (1998); 16bit
2. I then save the image as a TIFF file, leaving "ICC Profile: Abode RGB (1998)" selected in the Color section of the file save dialog
3. If I then close all files, and reopen the CR2 and TIFF image, they (as expected) appear to be identical
4. After closing all files again, I then open the CR2 and make an exposure adjustment (e.g. -1.00)
5. Using Bridge, I select the TIFF file, right click and select Open in Camera Raw. I make the same exposure adjustment as for the CR2
6. Now, the adjusted CR2 and adjusted TIFF are different. A colour shift is noticable, and for a severe exposure change (i.e. +4.00) the shadow detail in the CR2 is a lot lighter
Here are two cropped areas from the files (with a 4 stop push), showing some branch/leaf and grass detail respectively. The TIFF has a greener colour cast for the grass, but much darker shadows:
TIFF
RAW
I appreciate that the CR2 is still a RAW file, and as such has the original Bayer pattern data, but is there any way I can make ACR adjustments to a TIFF (taken from a CR2) to behave in the same way as the original CR2?

ssprengel, Jeff, JJMack - thanks for the constructive replies
station_two - after your use of mildly aggressive language ("What seems to escape your grasp") in your first post, I had money that your subsequent response(s) would be on the lines of "I'm too busy to explain it to people like you". Thankyou for confirming my expectations (sometimes I wonder if some people engage in forum discussions for the sole purpose of trying to get themselves [and possibly others] riled)
So... back to trying to find a construcive solution: If the algorthirms for the adjustments in ACR do operate directly on the Bayer data (before demosiacing to RGB per pixel) then operating on the TIFF (or any other demosaiced RGB data) will indeed be a non-starter. Without (probably unlikely) input from an Adobe developer however, we can't know for sure.
> So RAW numbers after debayering to RGB are linear with numbers of photons within a particular color (R, G or B), while TIF numbers are assumed to be linear with human-vision sensitivity
Understood (I'm familiar with gamma, camera sensor behaviour, exposing to the right etc). Ultimately though, it should be possible to produce an RGB file that is also linear (i.e. not adjusted for human vision) to then bring back into ACR. However, if that's simply not possible with ACR, then that's also a non-starter (and wouldn't help anyway if the adjustments operate on the Bayer data directly).
I did look briefly into opening the RAW as a smart object, but sadly I didn't think that'd help. The goal I'm trying to achieve is an experimental idea to blend parts of images together from multiple exposures; but to achieve a single RAW file with that data as if it came from the camera (thus it could be brought into ACR to get the benefit of - from my point of view - the useful and intuitive adjustment sliders). Clearly that would require reverse engineering the particular RAW format for the camera being used (and each and every camera you'd want to support) - thus, it's not really practical.
I'd hoped to be able to convert (without edits) the RAW images into TIFF (or some other lossless RGB container that I can read programmatically), do the blending to produce a single TIFF, and then bring that back into ACR.
Whilst it's more convoluted, I suppose it might be possible to generate the unedited TIFF files purely for the purposes for getting data about the images, then using that to create a set of masks. Then, as Jeff suggests, perform adjustments to the RAW files in ACR, and use the masks to blend the imported (and now corrected) RAWs into one image. Not ideal, but perhaps worthy of more experimentation.

Export and Import Of Tables having BLOB and Raw datatype

Hi Gurus,
I had to export one schema in one database and import to another schema in another database.
However my current database contains raw and blob datatype.I have exported the whole database by the following commnad
exp SYSTEM/manager FULL=y FILE=jbrms_full_19APR2013.dmp log=jbrms_full_19APR2013.log GRANTS=y ROWS=y
My question is if all the tables with raw and blob have been exported properly or not.I have done one more thing after taking the export , I have imported to local db and checked the no of rows in the both the envs are same.As I have not tested with the application to confirm.
I am using this version of Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
not able to attach the complete log file but for the schema jbrms which has the blob and raw datatype.
Please let me know if you find some potential concerns with the export for BLOB and raw

You could see the 'QUESTIONABLE STATISTICS' warning for a couple of reasons. I don't remember them all but.
1. If the target and source character set is different.
2. system generated names (I think?)
the best solution if you don't need the exact statistics that are on your source database would be to add
statistics=none
to your imp command and then regather statistics when the imp command is done.

I have a new camera and cannot import RAW files into lightroom.

I have a new Sony NEX 5 and have tried importing the ARW files into lightroom. The files are recognized when I import photos from device. When I choose the .arw files to import, I receive an message "unknown errors occurred" and files won't import. I have never had a problem importing files from a card or directly from my older camera. Any suggestions?

Check here to see if your camera is supported yet.
If its a camera launched in the last month it won't be. But you can try LR 3.2 RC and see if it has been added. Otherwise you will have to wait until LR supports the format. This is a problem caused by manufacturers constantly using their own formats which require Adobe to investigate every new format before adding it to LR. In 99.99% of the cases the so called new format from the manufacturers is just a line of code with the name of the camera in it. You can use a EXIF editor tool (just google, lots of free ones) to change the name in the RAW file to one presently supported and then convert to DNG. If you do go down this road then ensure you also keep a copy of the original files just in case something has actually changed.
If you are still using LR 2.7 and the format you need was introduced with LR 3 you don't need to upgrade, you can just use Adobes standalone converter to convert the files to DNG and then import them.

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

How is the Raw data used in iPhoto. I currently shoot both jpeg and raw and import them both into iPhoto.

How is the Raw data used in iPhoto? I currently shoot both jpeg and raw and import them both into iPhoto. What do I gain by collecting Raw data?
Thanks

You get more parameters for making adjustments to the image. This is not really an iPhoto question but more a general photography one. In rather simple terms here's how a digital camera works:
You expose an image. A lot of data is gathered in by the sensor. But it's just a bug lump of data and not very useful in that form.
In cameras that shoot jpeg that mass of data is interpreted/processed into an actual image, and the image is stored in a jpeg file. (that's a process broadly analogous to developing a film). The decisions that go into making that interpretation are all made by an engineer somewhere, back when the camera was developed.
If you shoot Raw, then what you do is take that mass of data, and rather than working to the decisions made by that engineer, you develop the shot - you run the digital darkroom.
Why would you do this? Take on all this extra work? Well one of three reasons: a: you think you can do a better job than that engineer. b: you just prefer the result you get when you develop yourself or c: you're a hopeless shooter and raw means you have more options to fix the mistakes you made in the camera. (That's why I do it.)
Here endeth the two dollar tour. So, basically, if you're happy with what your camera produces in Jpeg then there's really no need to shoot Raw.
There's no need at all to shoot Raw+Jpeg as iPhoto creates a jpeg preview when you import, so you're just wasting space.

Can "jpeg+raw" imported single file be split into jpeg and raw files?

I manage to choose to import my jpeg and raw pictures as single jpeg+raw files accidentely. What means with this format? can I split this "jpeg+raw" pictures into jpeg and raw again? If you edit a jpeg+raw picture are you just working with the raw file, I mean I saw that I could change the exposure on the file which you only can do on raw files. Is it a bad idea to import jpeg and raw pictures as a single file? I really don´t understand the properties of this "jpeg+raw"-file
/Magnus Lightroom rookie

With RAW+JPEG, the JPEG is only used for the initial Library view, prior to generating previews from the RAW file. Once you have generated previews and/or developed the image, the JPEG is unused. The edits you make won't affect the JPEG at all. It is, however, still tied to the RAW as metadata, so deleting the JPEG will flag your image as having problems (and list it as "missing" even though it's very clearly in your catalog). Tuning off the option to handle RAW+JPEG together in preferences won't fix past combo images, but it will avoid making this idiotic mistake in the future. After turning it off, export your metadata to the RAWs, then delete them from the library (not the disk) and then reimport them without the JPEGs. Peace will rule the world.

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?

In Library Grid view, on the Tool Bar (T), change "Sort:" to "File Extension"

LR4 Importing random jpeg and raw

I've had LR 4 for a week now and have a serious problem with the import.
I am usually shooting raw+jpeg so I quickly can send my clients some of the photos on location.
When I get to my office and start importing from the memory card the first 200 images or so will work fine, and show up in LR as raw+jpeg.
After that LR starts importing some of the files as jpeg only - seems to be completely random.
The biggest problem is that earlier both jpeg and raw would be copied to the library. Now that's not happening. If a file is imported as jpeg it is not copied to the hard drive.
They're just gone - and I deleted the memory card for another job before I found out about this. Nothing to be done about that, and luckily I still have enough shots to get the job done.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
I'm using a 5dMKII and a 7d - same happens with both cameras.
I use an iMac with OSX Lion.

I'm having the same problem, and I'm curious to see if there will be a solution. I am also working with a 5dMKII and OSX Lion on a MacBook Pro.

IPhoto 6 and RAW files a hint of what's to come?

Anyone notice that iPhoto 6 can send a raw file to an external editor?
Set up an external editor in the preferences and then go to advanced and set the preference to send raw to external editor.
Choose photoshop as your external editor and the image is opened in ACR. However, once you have done this there is no way to save it so that iPhoto recognizes the changes. You must save it and then import the tiff, jpeg, or psd. The images are not tied together as original and edited version. To get that, must allow core image to convert the image and then send that to photoshop. This is half the solution needed to have great Photoshop integration.
I would think (hope) that this is an indicator of things to come. If Aperture gets the ability to send a raw original (master) out to photoshop and then "import" the resulting file (tiff, psd) as a "second" master (some thing iPhoto currently can't do), well, that would be progress.
We could then choose which raw processing engine to use. Choose apples and you save on space, choose Adobe and you get ACR quality at the cost of a BIG tiff or psd in your library. I do think it is way to much to ask that Aperture understand Adobes sidecar files or instructions imbedded in a dng.
Additionally, iPhoto 6 can be set to use "external" files instead of coping everything into the library. It does make a full size jpeg of raws at import time, so space becomes an issue quickly.
And, oh yea, this is not an opportunity to start yet one more flame apple thread, we've heard it all and it has grow tiring.

This has worked since iPhoto 5 but just a slightly different set of options. You could always for the first edit, open the RAW file in any editor (as RAW). However, and as you have stated, you can't directly save it back to iPhoto. Aperture kind of reversed this a bit by not allowing you to directly open the RAW in an external editor.

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.

RAW import parameters in external service

Hi all,
I'm extending an application that has been written by somebody else.
I need to connect to an RFC using CAF external services.
In this RFC one of the input parameters (GUID) is of the type RAW. When I import an external service (based on this RFC) into the NWDS. I then add is as a dependencie to my Application service, generate a webservice of my application service, build and deploy the CAF project.
When I now go the the wsnavigator, open my application service and select the operation I want to test. I fill in the paramters and send submit but the RAW import parameter GUID is not being passed on to my RFC.
In fact when I look at the SOAP message that is being sent, the GUID parameter is empty (it fills in 'AA==' while I inserted '4A53589C71132123E10000009959C278' as value).

I think this has something to do with the conversion of the input field to the RAW dataformat. Does anybody know how I can solve this?

Lightroom 1.1 + Vista = No RAW import direct from canon 400D

My laptop runs on XP and my desktop on Vista and I have a 400D, lightroom 1.1, PS CS2 and camera raw 4.1. I've just migrated my workflow into lightroom which i'm enjoying.
Both computers read and edit RAW files fine and i've exported and imported catlogs between them.
My laptop imports RAW files from my camera but my desktop (vista) says that there are no files to import. Either i've done something wrong in setting up lightroom or there appears to be some kind of driver problem.
I can see them in windows, copy them off my camera in windows and then import them in lightroom from my computer, but not directly from my camera

The same problem:

Iphoto v5.0.4 and RAW Nikon D1X files

Iphoto will not import Nikon D1X RAW files, only TIFF's & JPG's. Is there an update for this problem ?As I always tend to shoot in RAW initially.
Dan Rose

Hi Jack!
If you're new working with RAW files, your right, it just doesn't make sense. RAW <imho> is a bit overrated. One thing you will need to keep in mind when shooting in RAW, is you will still need to take a well exposed image. What RAW files will allow are CHANGES in all areas of the image v. JPEG which may allow you to ADJUST a few settings in the image. My only suggestion would be to kepp playing around with PSE until you get the hang of it, it is an excellent image editing software. But realize, a well exposed JPEG and RAW file are hard to tell apart...
Personally, I do not directly download RAW files through iPhoto but will create a folder and download to here, and simply drage folder to iPhoto to import (which are then 'converted' into JPEG files). This way I have the original RAW images safely located outside of iPhoto as well as in iPhoto. You should set Elements as your choice of application to edit files inside iPhoto.
Good luck, Rick

IPhoto 8 and Raw

Hi everyone,
I recently took 600+ Raw photos (Nikon D70...roughly 3.85 gig of pictures)and imported them into iPhoto 8 as RAW photos.
I understand that it (iPhoto 8) automatically converts them into jpegs and leaves the raw photos untouched, but it is REALLY bogging down my system.
What I would like to know is this...as iPhoto has already converted the RAW photos to jpegs, and that is what I am working on in iPhoto (jpegs, NOT RAW), can I simply burn a CD with all of the jpegs that are in iphoto, delete all of those photos from iphoto, and then go through and Delete all of the original RAW images (I already have them backed up on a DVD) and then reimport just the jpegs into iphoto?
My goal is to delete all of the RAW photos from the computer, and leave only jpegs in iPhoto. If I ever need to use the RAW photos...for example if I am editing them in PS, I can just put the DVD in and pull it from there.
Also, is there a way for me to do this in the future...i.e. use iPhoto to convert the RAWS to jpegs, and only import them...not to import the RAW photos?
I'm guessing that the RAW images are what is bogging down iphoto, not the number of pictures (I have about 5,000 in iphoto already.)
Thanks,
Tom

Setup iPhoto to use Photoshop as the editor of choice in iPhoto's General preferences pane. Next, go to iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and check to the box "Use RAW when editing in external editor". Now you don't have to find the RAW file and move it to the desktop to edit. HOWEVER, you will have to save the edited file on the Desktop and import as a new photo.
If you occasionally just want to use PS to edit the jpg version see the following:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
