Oly E-PL2: How do I override in-camera crop in imported RAW file?

When I import RAW files from my Oly E-PL2 for which I have set an aspect ratio other than the native 4:3, Aperture reads this and displays the set ratio in both the thumbnail and in the viewer. How can I revert to the original 4:3 (the full RAW data)? I know the original RAW file still has all the data because if I export the original and open it in Olympus Viewer 2, the full 4:3 is there with the crop overlayed.

So how could I solve this?
In Lightroom, select "Save metadata to file" in the metadata menu in Library for the image you want to edit. Then Right (or control) click on it and from the popup select "Show in Finder/Explorer". Then a Finder (or Explorer) window will open where you can double click the RAW file (if you have set up Photoshop as the default editor for them), or you can drag the RAW file on Photoshop. ACR will open and you can do any edit you want. If editing the point curve is all you wanted, click on "Done". Now go back to Lightroom and for the image, select "read metadata from file" from the metadata menu. Lightroom will read in the new recipe in the xmp sidecar and update your image, including the point curve! You can only not edit it in Lightroom, but it will use it just fine.

    When I try to import, I get a "Preview Not Available for this File" message.
    I thought LR 5.7 would contain a Camera RAW converter.  If not, when?
    Please help  me....

    Support was provided in record time with the LR 5.7.1 update.
    Profiles for new camera models can only commence being created after the camera has been released to the market.

  • PSE11: How to import Raw files from Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera? [was: Dear Sir,]

    I have just purchased a Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera. I have Photoshop Elements 11 and I cannot import Raw files. How do I download the latest version of Camera Raw into Elements 11?
    T.W. Gasby

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    With Elements 11 you cannot.
    The SX60 HS was first supported in  Camera Raw 8.7 which is only compatible with Elements 13 and later.
    Options:
    Pay to upgrade to Elements 13
    Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all SX60 HS Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Elements 11

  • How do I get CS5 Bridge/Photoshp to handle RAW files from my D800E?

    How do I get CS5 Bridge/Photoshop to handle RAW files from my D~800E?

    There are many who would say, based only on empiric data (boo) and not opinion (yay), that the most accurate raw conversions would be obtained using the Nikon software and not secondary processors like the Adobe converter. The DNG process makes irreversible changes to the raw data which may or may not matter but the DNG is not the same as the original raw file.
    You can do the experiment yourself, for FREE, and compare different methods of raw conversion. You may be surprised at what you see. You have to be because different converters tune to different image characteristics. Don't be taken in about claims Adobe makes for its convertor without proving them to yourself. Adobe has made deliberate pre-set choices for its converter and they may not be the best for you. Or they may be, as we have all become so used to what Adobe chooses we think we chose it ourselves.
    If I were able to afford, and had the energy to lug around a D800e, I might not want to compromise the image quality I just shelled out such massive bucks to obtain using the Adobe converter without proving that was the best option for me, but I don't do it for a living. Also, if you can shell out for a D800e and are enamored of the Adobe Converter realize it only costs $10/month for a CC subscription, possibly tax deductible, and you can still retain your older version of PS. The CC version of PS allows use of the ACR as a filter layer, if you are fond of the converter tools (which are much improved in the latest version).

  • How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

    How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

    Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have  been in the latest update, 4.02.
    In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
    While I can't say for sure  Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.

    And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

  • How do I stop aperture from reprocessing my my raw files on import

    how do I stop aperture from reprocessing my my raw files on import

    Here's the thing: You didn't shoot in B&W and the Raw is in colour.
    Your camera shoots everything in colour because that's what the sensor in the camera is - RGB. For B&W shots what happens is that the camera adds a display tag to the shot - and this is written to the Jpeg you shoot, and so it displays.
    But a Raw is a sensor dump from the camera. This is all the data that the camera has, and all of that is in colour, so it shows in colour on Aperture.
    Convert to B&W in Aperture or shoot Jpeg.

  • How can i change date and time after importing a file

    hello
    i'm importing AVI files first in iMovie because Final doesn't support (other question i put in) but when i see the scenes form 1993 they have the date 2004.
    i believe 2004 is the date i put them on the computer.
    Now i looked in the help files Final Cut Pro but cant find anything to adjust the date and time.
    it works well in iMovie using the help files:
    Right-click the clip you wish to edit and click Adjust Clip Date and Time from the menu that appears. Or click on Archive and than adjust date and time
    But as i said i cant import the files in FCP have to import them to  iMovie files adjust the date and than import to Final Cut Pro but than de changes i made to the date and time  are gone and in FCP 2004 is again the date of the file!!!
    Question how can i Change in Final Cut Pro the date and time in a same way as iMovie does?
    Jemajoro

    OK, I think I understand what you are saying but it still does not look like it is doing it as you describe.
    Here is another screen shot.
    Note that all clips in "2007 August" event have the date of Aug x, 2007.
    Yet, the event "2007 August" still shows up under the 2012 "folder" (is that the right terminology?).
    The newest clip in this event is Aug 31, 2007 so shouldn't it be categorized as 2007 and not 2012?
    I think you know this but I am using the following feature:
    Go to the sprocket icon under the events.
    Select "Group events by date" and then by "group events by year and month"
    Thanks again for all the help

  • How do I apply a texture to an imported .stl file in 3D Picture Control?

    Hi, I'm trying to apply a 2D image as a texture to an imported .stl file in 3D picture control. It works fine if I'm using a standard shaped mesh created in LabVIEW, however is there a way in which a texture can be applied to an imported model that isn't a standard shape, in my case a balloon. I've attached the an image of the Sub vi where I apply the texture. The object just shows up as a flat colour. Do I need to define how the image is applied to the mesh due to it being a non-standard shape? If so, any pointers would be appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    Oh, I'm using LabVIEW 2009 SP1.

    Apologies, been trying all afternoon and then a couple of minutes after posting, I figured it out. Using a property node for the Scenemesh reference, I set the property TextureGenMode to Spherical and it appears to now display the texture on the mesh.

  • How do I install a camera profile into CS2 raw converter

    I recently purchased a ColorChecker Passport and along with the software, created a camera profile for my Olympus E-300. The CCP software crated a camera profile that was duly placed into the c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\adobe\cameraraw\cameraprofile\olumpus e-300 Directory. When I open an olympus ORF raw file from cs2 or bridge, and select the calibrate tab the only thing that is available in the camera calibrate box is ACR 2.4. Clicking the drop down arrow doesn't show anything else.
    I have turned off colormanagement in photoshop.
    Can anybody tell me how I can get photo shop to recognize the new camera profile?
    I have tried restarting photoshop and Bridge after the DCp file was added to teh directory.
    ACR verssion 3.7(?)
    OS is windows home 64
    8 gigs of ram
    Photoshop cs2 version 9.0.1
    adobe bridge cs2 version 1.0.4.6
    I have also performed the same tasks on photoshop cs3 on my work computer with the same results.

    The earliest version of Camera Raw to use DNG Profiles was version 4.6 in Photoshop CS3...so, you won't be able to use that DNG profile in ACR 3.7.

  • How do you change a color on an imported tif file in adobe illustrator?

    Hi, I have put together an illustrator file by importing various tiffs and putting them togetherfor a figure in a scientfic journal.  I have to change the red in all my images to magenta for those that are colorblind.  I was hoping someone could help me figure out how i can change red to magenta in illustrator off of imported tiff files (not objects that were created in illustrator - i know how to do that).  I have tried to get the answer from technical support over the phone but they keep disconnecting me?  Can anyone help?

    Thanks for the input.  I do know how to do it in photopshop and am trying to export my files into layered .psd-s but the layers don't always export perfectly and the journal needs me to send a layered file (doesn't matter .ai or .psd).  The figure should have been put together in photoshop originally, but unfortunately it wasn't.  The Phantam CS seems interesting but you alos have to buy it and I don't want to have to purchase something to do it.  Especially since Adobe says there is a way to do it.  Just don't know what that way is....

  • How can I import raw files from nikon d810 to elements 12

    How ca raw files be imported into elements from a nikon d810

    If the images are in iPhoto for iOS use the Share to iTunes feature. Then connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with, open iTunes, select your iPad in the left column of iTunes and in the right column select General. Ten scroll down to find the File Sharing area and select iPhoto. You will see a pane where your photos are listed and you can copy them to your computer. I'm not completely sure the copies will be RAW files but at least you have saved a version of the photos.
    I use my iPad to review, display and post photos but I use my computer to actually process RAW files. While I often connect my camera to my iPad to transfer photos I never delete them from the card and ill eventually copy them to more than one hard drive.

  • How can ACR 5.2 be set to open RAW files as 16 Bit as default?

    When I open RAW files in ACR they always open as 8 Bit. Is there any way to set ACR so that RAW files always open as 16 Bit as default? How?
    Lightroom 2.2/ PS CS4

    In the middle/bottom area of the Camera Raw window is a 'hyper link' type of line showing some default info. Clicking on that link brings up the Workflow Options dialog box. The 'Depth' setting should be set to 16 Bits/Channel. Then press OK to accept the changes then press Done to close the ACR Window and save the changes.

  • Anyone know how to fix problem of not being able to import RAW files of Nikon D800 to Lightroom 5.2?

    Hi there, am failing miserably to import NIKON D800 RAW files into Lightroom, have updated to version 5.2 which Adobe website says is compatible, but still no luck. Can import PDF files of Nikon D800, and my RAW files are fully accessible via Nikon proprietary software such as ViewNX2 and Capture NX2. Have Microsoft OS Windows 7 (if that helps..). Anyone any idea how to fix this problem? Grateful for any ideas, Ruud

    Dear Jim, you have set me on the right track, thanks! I have updated my Nikon View NX 2 software (which includes the transfer software from camera to hard disk) and this has done the trick. Many thanks, also to Keith for showing interest in my problem. Downside remains that the files previously loaded with the old software remain 'un-importable', so if anyone still has a good tip how to try and correct that...
    .. all ideas are welcome!!
    But as said, many thanks for helping me solve the issue for future downloads

  • How to get thumbnails to indicate whether JPEGs or Raw files?

    In earlier versions of iPhoto I could look at a photo thumbnail and immediately tell whether it was a JPEG or a RAW file because the description below the thumbnail indicated such. With iPhoto version 9.2 the thumbnails do not include this information. Is there anyway I can cause this information to be displayed beneath the thumbnails? I shoot JPEG + RAW and would like to distinguish between JPEG and RAW files by merely looking at the thumbnails.
    Bob

    Try this from a different perspective:
    Why are you shooting Raw?
    In order to obtain the highest quality images my D700 is capable of producing.
    When a camera takes a shot a Raw is generated, this Raw is processed by the camera into a Jpeg and that's goes onto your computer.
    High end cameras allow you to step into that process. It stops the Jpeg being processed and allow you to bring the Raw data directly to your computer so that you can do the final step yourself: process and out put the Jpeg.
    But the point of the exercise is to produce a Jpeg that can be used/shared/printed etc.
    The point of shooting Raw is that you prefer the results when you process the Raw compared to what the camera does.
    If you think the job the camera does is good, then don't shoot Raw.
    If you think it's not, then shoot Raw and don't shoot Jpeg.
    Shooting both makes little sense - excepting the scenario detailed in my para above.
    On my iMac monitor I’m looking at the thumbnail of the last RAW file I processed.  Since a RAW file is not even an image I presume that what I am actually seeing is the JPEG preview you referred to. Correct?
    No. The thumbnail is different again. Usually, it's actually a thumb copied from the one created by the camera and stored in the Raw file.
    To see the Preview drag the shot to the Desktop from the iPhoto Window - that's it. Open it in Preview and compare that with the Jpeg version from the camera - just visually, not file sizes etc. (I'll come to that later on.)
    I do all of my editing in Photoshop Elements, so in order to convert this RAW file I right clicked on the thumbnail and selected “Edit in External Editor” whereupon the RAW file opened up in Adobe Camera Raw.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, have you selected to 'Use Raw when using external editor' ? If not then you're not processing Raw at all, just the Jpeg preview.
    Yes, I selected "Use RAW when using external editor."
    That workflow is quite convoluted
    Camera to iPhoto, iPhoto to ACR, ACR to Elements, Elements to Finder (tiff), Finder to iPhoto (Sharpening), iPhoto to Finder (Jpeg) and then Finder to iPhoto.
    At the end of it you're left with the Raw, Camera Jpeg, iPhoto Preview, a tiff and a couple of Jpegs, right?
    Only one JPEG.
    That's too complex and worse, there is no connection between the Master Raw and the final Jpeg. They're not even linked in the iPhoto database. You can't revert from the Final Jpeg to the master Raw.
    I can't think of a reason why I would I want to revert from the final JPEG to the master RAW. The master RAW is already available.
    Even though my workflow gives me good results it is more complex than I would like it to be. Since acquiring my new iMac last January I have been seriously thinking about downloading Aperture 3 from the Apps Store for a mere $79 and using it to manage and edit my images. Presumably that would give me a less convoluted workflow. A big question will be what to do with all of the thousands of images I have stored in iPhoto--leave them where they are as referenced files or move them into Aperture where they will be managed files. My initial inclination is to leave them in iPhoto.
    To use the iPhoto preview just... use it. If you import a Raw and then try do anything with it, email, upload, print etc then it's the Jpeg Preview that is used.
    If you process the Raw in iPhoto then the Preview is regenerated incorporating the decisions you made.
    If you export (File -> Export) you can use many settings to set the level of compression, size and so on of the resulting file.
    Put it this way: I'd be 99% sure that the iPhoto preview will be good enough for sharing by email or online. It may also be perfectly good enough for printing too - but if it's not that's when you export to the quality you prefer.
    This is good to know. Sometimes I just want to quickly e-mail a group of JPEGs without having to go through the process of generating JPEGs by processing the RAW files. I previously mentioned that by dragging the thumbnail labelled RAW to my desktop it becomes a JPEG which can then be dragged back into the iPhoto Library. If I'm shooting only RAW is that the best way to quickly obtain a JPEG? By the way, I just did this with one of my thumbnails labelled RAW. The size of the JPEG thereby obtained was 6.3 MB. This is larger than the size of the high quality camera-generated JPEG which is 5.8 MB. This would seem to indicate that the iPhoto-generated JPEGs are of high quality. In a side-buy-side comparison the two images looked very similar except for the iPhoto-generated JPEG being a little brighter than the camera-generated one.
    So if I am understanding this situation correctly it appears that I can cease shooting JPEG +RAW and instead shoot only RAW. Then for best results I will process RAW files to produce highest quality JPEGs and for less demanding requirements and for quick responses I can use the iPhoto-generated JPEGs.
    Question: Even though I have been shooting JPEG + RAW for a relatively short time I have managed to accumulate a goodly number of camera-generated JPEGs. How can I most readily delete these JPEGs without having to go through my iPhoto library and tediously deleting them one-by-one?
