Only thumbnail image appears in Viewer; RAW image inaccessible

I import Nikon D200 RAW images into Aperture project. The thumbnails appear in Browser as normal. I try to view them in the Viewer or Full Page and I only see the thumbnail sized images; and I cannot make adjustments, print or otherwise process the RAW image. The full 15mb NEF image is visible in Finder in the referenced file on the external hard drive and I can access it in Photoshop CS3, but Aperture does not access the RAW file. I have rebuilt the library and created a new library, but the problem persists. Help!!!

Do the thumbnails have a yellow border? If so, type a "P". You're in Quick Preview Mode.

Viewing raw images

I have photoshop elements nine and have had no problem viewing raw images when i use my compact flash, but i recently purchased a camera that uses sd cards and when i load them i can't see the images only a white sheet with a turned down corner. I need to figure out how to view these images in bridge as well.

I don't think card is doing anything here. Which camera is this? Every version supports a limited number of raw files and new cameras are supported by latest Adobe Camera Raw. Check out following to know more - http://bit.ly/IUMGIc
Latest ACR version available for PSE9 is 6.5

Help with viewing raw images in iPhoto 6

Hi:
When viewing raw images from my camera (a Canon 20D) in a large or full screen format, after about 5 seconds I see at least a dozen tiny white dots on the image. These occur 100% of the time.
If I "retouch" the image and save it, they go away.
Also, they never appear if I shoot and import JPEGS from the same camera?
Is this a bug in iPhoto 6 and, if not, can someone explain or help me with this?
Thank you!

I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.

MacBook Pro Retina "Gets Hot when viewing RAW images"

MacBook Pro Retina Gets really Hot when viewing RAW images - somebody has this issue? Solutions?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, download Temperature Monitor and tell us the temperatures of the MacBook > http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
The MacBook Pro with Retina display is made of aluminum, so it's normal that it gets hot. However, if the temperature inside is very high, fans will turn on automatically. If this doesn't happen, it may have a hardware problem

Cannot view raw images in iphoto 11

Hi there, I have just upgraded to a new imac running Mountain Lion and iphoto 6.
Now I can't view the latest raw images I have taken (on my canon eos 550D) - When I scroll through the images they appear for a second or so, then they disappear and are replaced with empty boxes with dotted lines around the outside, when I double click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle.
?? Any idea why this is happening? I saw that my camera is one that is supported by iphoto so am confused as to why this is happening.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Viewing RAW images in full screen - problem

I have begun to shoot some images in RAW mode with both my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200 - NEF format. I edit in Photoshop Elements, from withing iPhoto so that edited images are saved back to iPhoto.
When I view edited images in full screen mode from iPhoto, the edited version will be shown briefly and then the unedited version pops up. Anyone know what this is all about and can it be stopped?
Also, I am wondering why, when I right-click on a RAW image in iPhoto, one of my choices is "Reprocess RAW" whether I have edited it or not. And there is no choice to "Revert to original" as in non-RAW images.
Marion

I think you are referring to minor color and other editing done within iPhoto. I am talking about cropping and other major editing done in Photoshop Elements. This edited RAW image, by default, is saved back to iPhoto - but NOT as JPEG - where I can view it along with other RAW images I have not processed in any way.
Yet, both edited and unedited images offer me the same option when I right click for the contextual menu - "Reprocess RAW." This is the place where "Revert to Original" appears when this menu is accessed from a JPEG image.
When I use iPhoto edit, which I almost never do, it does indeed save the image as "JPEG image (from Nikon RAW)." And indeed I do then have the option to Revert to Original.
Reprocess RAW works in the same way as Revert to Original. It was just mysterious to me why I was offered the opportunity to redo something I'd not done in the first place.
Thanks for your help.

Viewing RAW images in Aperture

I cannot find a similar discussion so I'll post this.
I cannot view RAW files in Aperture since the 3.5 update to 10.9. The files import correctly and then when I try to view them in the viewer they turn into a scrambled mess. I have created a new Aperture library and still the problem persists. Is anyone else having this problem and are there any fixes?
Thanks

Chris,
try two things:
use the command "Photos > Reprocess Raw" from the menu bar
and use the command "Photos > Generate Thumbnails"
It looks like the thumbnails of your imported images are broken.

Is your scrambled mess red and blue? Have you perhaps enabled "View > Highlight hot and Cold areas" or "onscreen proofing" with an unsuitable color profile?
Or any presets interfering? Raw decode preset, or an effects preset in the Import panel?

Viewing RAW images from a Canon 450D in Aperture

I am obviously missing something. When I try and view my RAW images from my 450D, I am just seeing a blank black screen. Any ideas what I should do to view them properly.

Apple's list of supported cameras is at
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Historically Apple loses market share due to poor support for newer cameras.
Workarounds include shooting RAW+JPEG and just using the JPEGs until Apple gets to supporting your camera or using Adobe's RAW to DNG converter. Apple canread the DNGs.

I have Photoshop Elements 9, just installed Lr and can't view RAW images. help please?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and I can't view my RAW images. How can I view them?

you can update your pse 9 and hope for the best, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and you can always use dng converter.
or specify your camera so we can determine whether that will help and if you need a dng converter link, indicate your os.

LR3.6 failing to view Raw images on Canon 5D

Hi, I've just installed LR 3.6 on my new Wins64 laptop and it is unable to view RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark1. This is working fine on my Win32 PC though. It looks like I need to install Camera Raw 5.2 or later but I can only file 'Update' downloads which fail to install. LH says it's up-to-date when I check for updates and theres no Plug-In Extras available..
Any Ideas anyone?
Thansk Andy

Lightroom does not use the ACR Plugin but uses the same process engine which is built in. LR 3.6 is the equivalent to ACR 5.6. If you installed from the CD check the Menu > about to see if you actually have version LR 3.6 installed it should also say the ACR 5.6.
The Lightroom downloads are available at this link.

Exporting only xmp information and not the RAW image file

Hi. I am using Lightroom 3. I imported RAW files from an extrenal disc and then worked on files adjusting the images. Is it possible for me just to export the xmp file instead of exporting all the RAW images again to my external hard drive? I assume the xmp has all the adjustments that I have made to the image? Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks

I tried control s and I assume that is for a windows machine as nothing happens on a mac. I did forget to say that I am using a mac. thanks again.

Not all images appearing in viewer

When looking at the folder location for a particular set of images, it shows 21 images. Although within the viewer I'm only seeing 2 images. I tried synchronizing the folder, but the other 19 do not appear. Tried to import them again from their actual location, LR tells me that they already exist. Any idea what else I could try? I deleted the preference file, to no avail. Other than possibly opening a new library file and starting from scratch. Grrr.

I just double checked the filter selection, it is turned off right now.

Viewing RAW images in Bridge CS3

After downloading a EOS Canon picture (*.CR2) the Bridge shows the picture correct in thumbnail mode (1).
Switching to Viewing screen mode (2) the RAW picture starts somewhat blurry but within a few seconds it switches to a clear picture.
Recently this feature does not work anymore. The picture remain blurry
What have I done wrong or unintentional changed?

In the viewing screen and slide show mode problems frequently point to the video card driver. Make sure you have the latest update. In some cases the latest update can BE the problem. If so try rolling back to the previous version that worked.
Another option you can try is to go to advanced preferences and select "use software rendering".

"unsupported image file" when importing RAW images from Olympus E-PL1

When I try to import images save in RAW format on the camera, the images import but they can't be displayed (all I get is a warning triangle with the words "unsupported image format" below it, though in the import preview the images are displayed properly.
EDIT: just noticed that the E-PL1 isn't listed as being supported, just the E-P1 & 2
Message was edited by: drathquark

Apple have just included RAW support for the Olympus E-PL1 with the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.3 - iPhoto can now import RAW files from the E-PL1.

Strange image appears on my iPhone image gallery, then disappears!

I was thumbing through my image gallery on my iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.3) the other day, when I thumbed to this weird image of a 3D emoticon with large fangy teeth. I paged back to it a couple of times, then it disappeared.
I've never seen this before, my first concern was that my phone is hacked or one of the apps did something. I've Google'd around and read some other similar stories, but nobody seems to know what's going on.
Anyone familiar with this oddity? Should I be concerned....
For the record, I've not jailbroken the phone or done anything strange.

If you have not jail broken there is no way your phone can be "hacked" or compromised. It is very odd that this happened and I do not know exactly what you have been doing that might have caused this, but I don't think it's cause for concern. Perhaps you used an app that added something to your Camera Roll temporarily.
