Match jpg with raw

IS it possible to import jpgs to my mobile and then match with the raw files on the desktop?

with one option it let's you know the jpg exists, but you can do absolutely nothing with it, even delete it easily from within lr. The other treats them both seperately, and all controls can work on either file. To each their own I suppose but I see no compelling reason NOT to import them as seperate files, it only adds confusion to the managing of digital assets for me, as lr provides no means of seperating the combo designation after import.
Many times I leave camera on raw+jpg mode even for snapshots, and decide the jpg is good enough and I don't desire to do any processing on the Raw. Other times the raw is easily superior, and the jpg is garbage. Treating them seperate puts me back in control of what I use and how. But, as I said different ways of working call for different ways of handling it; I'm glad we at least get an option to do it either way.

  • Importing High Res. JPG with RAW?

    Is there any reason to import JPG images with RAW images? I sometimes shoot high res. JPG with RAW just so I have some high res. JPGs for temporary use immediately after a shoot and for archival purposes, but I can't think of a reason to import JPGs into Lightroom when there is a RAW. Thanks for any clarification.

  • LR 1.3 Mac not Importing JPGS with RAWs

    I'm trying to import both RAWs and JPEGS at the same time and LR 1.3 is not doing so well. With previous versions I was able to import both a raw file (converting it to DNG in the importing) and bring along the accompanying JPEG (as a sidecar) at the same time. Now, 1.3 is no longer doing that. I can either import a RAW file only, or treat the additional JPEG as a separate image. This is no good. I need to import both RAW and JPEG at the same time and have LR rename the files (both RAW and JPEG) with the same names. What happened?

    Yeah. I've double checked this several times. When I used to import as DNGs, I would get the JPGs copied into the folder that I designated and, in LR, the name above the thumbnail would be something like "D80_0001.dng+JPEG." So, I know that whatever I was able to do then is broken now.
    The only solution I can come up with is several (tedious) steps:
    1 - Import NEFs as DNGs. This I can do by turning off the "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos" in the Prefs. When the Import box opens, it shows only the NEFs. Then I start importing.
    2 - Go back to the Prefs and turn the above feature on again.
    3 - Go back to Import and select all the JPGs from amongst the JPGs and NEFs in the folder. Then import them into the same folder the DNGs were imported to. This way, the JPGs can have the same name as their DNG counterparts.
    4- Go back into the LR library and open the folder with all the images and selectively delete all the JPGs from the library. You see, I don't want the JPGs in the library; I just want the RAW files. But I do want the JPGs and RAW files stored together on my hard drive.
    Please, can this be fixed. This has put a serious crimp into my workflow. You know what it's like to have to selectively choose JPGs from NEFs in a folder containing 900+ images!?

  • How to supplant JPG with RAW file weeks later?

    Hi there-
    When the Canon S95 came out LR3 didnt recognize or import the RAW .cr2 files. When using the camera I would take photos in both RAW and JPG, use LR3 to import the JPGs and manually copy the .CR2s to a separate directory. I would then tag and otherwise work on the JPGs in my main photo directory in LR3, while the CR2s gathered dust in a different directory.
    Now that LR3 does support .CR2, and I have a slow day, is there an easy way to replace all of those JPGs with the relevant RAW file? What happens to the current XMP data, as ideally with the exception of the file extension they will be named the same.
    Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

    Another way that will recover your develop settings too: Note: I've never tried this - may have missed something, but in case you're game..
    1. Save all jpeg metadata using Ctrl/Cmd-S (saves develop settings too).
    2. Use exiftool to extract all xmp from jpegs to xmp file making sure it will have the same base name as your CR2s.
        The command is something like:     exiftool -xmp -b my.jpg > my.xmp
    3. Import the CR2s, or if already imported, do a 'Read Metadata'.
    That will transfer all settings from jpegs to CR2 but will make them look unsharp and dull, due to differences in default settings for the two (and in-camera settings). Plus, camera profiles and white balance will not carry over, so you'll have to redo those manually. Also, you may have to set the tone curve to medium instead of linear - not sure about that one.
    Then use DevAdjust to adjust the following settings relatively:
    Sharpening +25
    Sharpen Detail +25
    Brightness +50
    Contrast +25
    Color NR 25 (can be set absolutely)
    Then use CollectionPreseter to set luminance noise reduction based on ISO.
    They should look about the same now, since all settings have the same weight, just different starting points, for everything except temperature and tint.
    And you'll probably want to enable the profile based lens corrections for the CR2s.
    Maybe use compare view to see how you did and fine tune...
    If you dont have a lot of jpegs or didnt make many adjustments this may be more trouble than worth, but in case it helps...

  • Replacing JPG with RAW

    I exported a bunch of raw files to JPG with some other raw converter, before getting aperture.
    In my main drive I use the JPGs, and that is what I have imported in my Aperture library (used from their current location).
    I have kept the raw files; since I would like to do some tweaking on these now, it would obviously be best if I worked with the raw files.
    Can I somehow replace the JPGs with the RAWs and tell aperture to look at the RAW as a master file?
    Since I have a lot of keywording, places and faces on these, I would prefer not to input everyting again...
    Thanks,
    Harry

    You can import the RAW+JPEG pair and use the JPEGs for now. If/when Apple supports the RAW files, you can just tell Aperture to re-render the RAW files and use those.

  • Last wish, preset converting RAW into JPG with more contrast, saturation & sharpening

    A close family member is dying and she has still many RAW files, which of course look slightly lifeless as all RAW files do. She asked me to look for a simple Lightroom preset which will convert her RAWs into Jpgs with more contrast, saturation and sharpening. She has Lightroom 3, but has no experience in making presets and neither do I. She needs the preset to make the RAW files as Jpgs available to her partner & children. No fancy effects; just simple. She cannot work on her computer anymore. Can you help me with a concrete preset or if not can you make one for her?

  • BUG:  With same name jpg and RAW in same folder

    OK, we have established that you can't import same filenames RAW/jpg into the same folder, but you can drag them in later. This is useful for stacking.
    Bugs that occur when jpg and RAW with same name together in same folder. (have not tested for psd, tif etc.
    1. If you rename the jpg, the RAW also gets renamed
    2. You cannot move the jpg properly within the folder in grid mode.
    Most of my landscape shots need to go to photoshop. I developed a nice workflow which integrates PS quite well with LR...see post here:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc34679/5
    I created the workflow so that I could retain same name RAW/jpg stacks in the same folder. I have altered the workflow slightly so the jpg gets autorenamed with filename_# ... see the link above.

    It's the same design issue Kevin. Sidecar files get renamed automatically and these are treated as sidecars.

  • I can´t save images in .jpg with "Camera Raw" software from my Elements 6.0

    I have Photoshop Elements 6.0, I bought it last year and untill now, it´s OK. Now I´m beginning working with .RAW files, but I can´t save them as .JPG after I modified them with the "camera Raw" software. I can only save pictures in .DNG. ¿Could someone please tell me how to save it as .JPG?
    I consider this is a basical function wich, for example, Photoshop CS3 does.
    Bye.

    Thank you very much for your answers.
    Daniel.

    The Save button in the raw converter is the DNG converter. To save in any
    standard image format, you must open the image in the editor, then save it
    there.

  • Exporting from RAW to web jpg with selective sharpening

    Hello,
    I want to be able to export a web ready jpg with selective sharpening on facial features from my full size RAW. It seems to me that I need to export twice to get it - once to make the file the size I want, ie: 800px long side and again after applying selective sharpening to the first export. If I selectively sharpen the RAW file and export to 800px jpgs, the sharpening is lost in the resize. Is there a way to avoid this double export? I think I might be able to avoid the double export if I sharpened the first export and then emailed directly from lightroom but I want to instead upload to dropbox.
    Thank you,
    Mark

    Did some benchmark with 1.4 & 2.0...
    To import & generate standard preview for 50 .cr2 raw files from 20d with LR 2.0, it took 1:33 (1 minute & 33 seconds)... the export to full JPG 95% took 5:34
    The same files with 2.0... Import 1:08 / Export 5:04

  • Can I merge a JPG and RAW folder in a catalog and keep the edits?

    I usually shoot RAW plus JPG and always used to copy all of them into the same folder. That worked fine, but was a little pointless as the JPG was only used as a temporary preview before the RAW was loaded in behind it. For speed of editing at events, I started to split the files in to two separate folders and import both, but tag and do basic edits, crops etc on the JPGs so for 'news' website use, then work on any higher quality client requirements from the RAW. It would be nice if I could later merge the two together so that those basic edits - and ratings etc - were then applied to the RAW files. They have the same names - bar the extensions, of course - having be renamed by LR on import. I tried it on a test shoot, but it just seems to add separate JPG and RAW images to the catalog. Is there a way to have it associate the unedited RAW with the edited JPG?

    Hello Guy gswarbrick,
    I am not sure I understand where your current workflow with the JPGs saves you time:
    Do you load them into your LR catalog, and do you do the ratings and crops there?
    Then for selling on the web you export the JPGs thusly edited from LR?
    Do you use a laptop on site/in the field for this?
    I am just wondering, where you would actually loose time if your workflow would be the following:
    General preparation of your LR set-up:
    Define a default develop setting for RAWs that matches your camera's JPG-conversion pretty fine, so that the result would be almost identical without any explicit develop edit.
    Define a default export setting for your JPGs to be sold on the web on the day: choose the quality, the size (resizing rules) fit for web, colour space most probably sRGB, ... (no adding to the catalog)
    Workflow during the shooting day:
    Only import RAWs, no JPGs at all.  [Do you fear this takes longer than imprting the JPGs?]
    Do the quick stuff during the day like you do today on the JPGs, just on the RAWs. Should also be rating/labeling and cropping, nothing more thanks to your prepared default develop settings.
    ...Compared to any option with ExifTool or the like for the final RAW-work (4.) you would definitely save the time there.
    So the question is: would you really loose time during the critical phase on shooting day?
    I guess not, provided your default develop settings achieve pretty much your camera's jpg-conversion. You may need to experiment a little there, make these defaults specific to ISO ranges and camera serial number if you shoot with several cameras, but once this prep is done there should be no more substantial delay.
    Unless you post the images directly from camera to the web without passing through LR catalog. Or your field laptop would be of very low spec.
    Where to start? Let's start with my laptop; it's about the highest spec available, coupled with Sandisk Extreme Pro cards and a high speed card reader. What about my fear that importing the RAWs would take longer than the JPGs? Well, a small, basic JPG is about 500k, the equivalent uncompressed RAW file is 12Mb, so I reckon about 24x as long to import - give or take. Plus the time to render the RAW file, which isn't required for the JPG. And that's assuming I'm not adding default develop settings, which have a small but not insignificant overhead. For that reason, the RAW imports are usually done after the events or during (rare) breaks.
    I've arrived at this workflow through 5 years of experimentation. RAW-only simply does not work for these sorts of events. Most of my 'competitors' shoot JPG-only, for that very reason, but I don't want to lose the RAW option for the print work.

  • When showing JPG and RAW files as one, which do we see and which is edited?

    Hi Guys,
    Hoping someone out there will have the answer to this.
    Just come back from a long trip with thousands of pics in RAW, I like to use Canon DPP to generate the JPGs quickly and to give me Canons interpretation on the RAW image. (Apparently same processing as in camera).
    Once imported into Lightroom 3, I have set up to view the JPG and RAW files as one.
    There are two questions:
    1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
    2.) Which is edited?
    I do not really want to fully develop all the pics in Lightroom as some of the standard shots have come out perfectly and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
    Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

    1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
    Raw only. The jpeg is sort of like sidecar. Cannot set a preference. The only setting you can change is to view them separately.
    2.) Which is edited?
    Raw only.
    ... and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
    Lightroom's Canon-specific DNG profiles are developed to match Canon's picture styles (or whatever they are called). So, if you use, say, the Faithful Picture style in Camera, Lightroom's "Camera Faithful" profile will render your raws very close to DPP, if not identical. That's for default settings. However when you start adjusting, Lightroom's and DPP's processing may differ.
    You may not even need those Jpegs for comparison, after all.

  • How to replace Match library with new library

    Been using iTunes as my music manager/player since 2003. Currently have about 5,000 songs which are a mix of selective CD song rips, iTunes purchases and Amazon Mp3 downloads. Lots of missing artwork, incomplete albums, wrong genres, etc. I use iTunes Match to sync across multiple Macs and iOS devices, including 3 Apple TVs. It all works OK, but I recently undertook a major project to re-rip all of my CDs/Box Sets in their entirety – about 20,000 tracks. I performed the new rips on a Mac Mini running Windows 7 in BootCamp using Roxio Creator to get a 'universal' Mp3 (256kbs) format and keep everything separate and apart from my current iTunes/Match libraries. Total library size came out around 80-85GB, saved on an external USB HDD.
    Recently had my iMac 1TB HDD replaced under Apple’s recall program and looked at it as an opportunity to totally rebuild my iTunes library from scratch using the new, complete album rips. I’ve loaded the new 80GB library onto the iMac and am currently using TuneUp Media to ‘clean up’ metadata and album artwork on the new library. I've turned off iTunes Match to isolate the iMac during this stage of the process.
    When cleanup is complete, I would like to totally replace my current iTunes Match library with the new larger library. I think the songs will sync OK, but I’ve put a lot if effort into cleaning up the album artwork and am afraid that, if I don't take some precautions, iTunes Match will overrule and mess up my new artwork when I activate it.
    My plan is to
    From the iMac, first copy (or should I export) the entire rebuilt library to an external drive as a backup, hopefully preserving all of the artwork and metadata corrections in the process (true?).
    On my MacBook Pro, copy my current Match library to a different external drive to ensure preservation of any unique tracks I may have missed in building the new library. Then delete the entire library – both local and Cloud. I should then have an empty iTunes Match library, correct?
    Then, on my iMac, activate iTunes Match and let it upload/match all the new songs/data to create a new Cloud library with all the new albums, descriptors and artwork.
    Do I need to individually deactivate Match and delete local libraries on all my other devices also, or does the total Cloud library delete I perform on my MacBook Pro then transfer to all my other registered iOS and OSX devices that have Match activated?

    Quick question, Michael
    When I copy the iTunes  folder to an external drive, does all the iTunes metadata and associated album artwork travel together with the raw music file?

  • Help with RAW files and custom white balance.

    ive long had this issue with RAW shooting and adobe photoshop and lightroom, my main subject is a saltwater reef aquarium that is lit by artificial lighting, i shoot canon and use the custom white balance setting to get everything looking proper and it works good.. to an extent.. if i shoot jpg the photos all turn out as shot, if i shoot RAW the white balance in adobe programs is totally messed up and you cant fix it.. if i use DPP by canon, its perfect and looks just as shot or just a a jpg would look.. my question is how can i get adobe lilightroom to render my RAW files correctly.
    below are all 3 images, first one was converted and exported to jpg in canon DPP without any adjustments and is what the photo should look like, second has been exported from photoshop, and 3rd i added a link to the actual RAW file. why cant my lightroom interpret these properly?
    heres a link to the actual RAW file
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/5a39ctllwgrem7a/_MG_8971.CR2
    this was a raw converted in canon dpp, and its what the aquarium looks like, and is what the photo should look like. just to note, any other editing or viewing program besides adobe products all render the image correctly.
    this is what photoshop and lightroom do to my Raw files, theres no way to adjust anything to get even remotely close to correct..

    The white-balance Temperature of this image as computed by the camera is way beyond the 50,000K upper limit as you can see when you open the file in LR or ACR, so Adobe cannot reach the As Shot WB temperature number and stops at 50,000K which is still too blue -- although EXIFtool says:  Color Temp As Shot : 10900, so maybe Adobe's wildly high 50,000K number is based on a faulty camera profile that exaggerates blues:
    However, using the Camera Standard makes things not nearly so garish blue, and it is possible to use Photoshop to neutralize things even more:
    However, as you say, other raw converters do ok with this image despite the high WB temperature, so I think the Canon T3/1100D profile needs some work, but probably won't get it since it is not a high-end camera.
    For example, here is the default conversion from LibRaw that is part of RawDigger, and in my opinion is an improvement on the camera rendering though perhaps lacks a bit of saturation:
    As another example, here is RawTherapee's conversion, after I neutralized the auto-tone and color values it applies by default, and appears to be a bit too saturated but that could be easily adjusted:
    I would agree that Adobe is doing something wrong with this camera in this lighting.  A clue is the bright green color of the top-central coral which seems to be yellow in the non-Adobe renderings.

  • I am able to 'create a new version from original' but when I try to export the original, I only get a .jpg with the XMP file. The original is obviously there but why can't I access it please?

    In Aperture 3 when I right click on an image I am able to 'create new version from original' which suggests that the original is there. When I try to export the original I only get a .jpg with the XMP file. These particular images are from 2010, has the RAW file become disconnected somehow? Please, how do I get access to the RAW file for editing in Ps? Thank you. Thomasrevil.

    Sorry leonie, 'Use RAW as Original' is not an option for the image shot with the Canon.
    Then your Import settings must have been different, when you imported the Canon photos.
    You can check, if there is still a hidden raw file somewhere. If the image has been imported as a pair, you should see the "J" badge in Browser and Viewer, if you enable badge overlays. This indicates a pair, with the jpeg as original.
    Select one of those images, and then relocate the original files "File > Relocate original" to a folder, where you can inspect it. Use "File > Show in Finder" after ward. Look, don't touch .
    Then put it back, using "File > Consolidate".
    Do you see your raw files in the folder, or is only a jpeg there?

  • Opening jpgs as raw... image size

    My office color corrects thousands of images per day for newsprint. These come in mostly as jpgs and some tifs and eps files. Most of these need a lot of color correction work, and I've found that opening jpgs with the RAW dialogue box and tweaking them there can be a huge time-saver (one menu with a bunch of sliders, versus opening curves, shadow highlight, hue/sat, color balance, etc.)
    However! There are two things preventing us from utilizing the ability to open jpgs and using the raw dialogue box:
    1. Image size. We are dealing with images from several customers who need us to maintain their original image size and dpi, whatever that may be. Other customers want us to maintain the width/height and rasample the image down to 200dpi. (example: take this 3x5" @ 956dpi and make it 3x5" @ 200dpi) If I open one of their images in raw, I don't know what the original width/height were because the file has been resized to whatever I used on the last image. I've noticed it defaults to 240. The original jpg dpi changes with each image we get. Is there any way to make the raw dialogue box not change the image size? Which leads me to...
    2. Once I've opened a jpg using the raw dialogue box it will always open up again in raw (always changing the image size.) If I want to just open my jpg as a regular image in photoshop, I have to go to camera raw preferences and disable the ability to use raw on jpgs. Is there a faster way to ignore the raw settings on a jpg once it has been altered as raw?
    So this is why we don't use raw, even though it'd be a huge advantage for us to be able to make these color corrections. If anyone has any ideas how to get around these, or even an easier workflow, I'd appreciate it!

    For #1, if you look at the image in Bridge you can note the dimensions and resolution...you would then need to put that same resolution in the ACR resolution field.
    For #2, no...as you note the ACR Preference controls whether or not Camera Raw will be used to open the image. You can use the Shift key when double clicking in Bridge to open the image directly into Photoshop and bypass the ACR dlog, but Camera Raw will still be used if it's set to be used in the Preferences...
    You'll need to keep your image resizing just in Photoshop because Camera Raw is not designed to do that sort of resize/resampling...it's designed first and foremost as a raw processor and later added the ability to open and process camera JPEGs and TIFFs. Putting those kind of controls into Camera Raw wouldn't make sense since the end result of an image opened into Camera Raw is supposed to be an image processed and opened into Photoshop. So, what you are wishing for is really outside of the scope of the development design...sorry.

Maybe you are looking for
