Original .JPGS

I dont want to view my pictures in iphoto and I cant seem to find the folder with all my original jpgs in my finder. Does anyone know how to access that folder?

Your iPhoto pictures are located in the iPhoto Library (usually in the Pictures folder). You can right or control click on the iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents. Look for the Originals folder.
HOWEVER...
It is a very bad idea to muck aroung in the iPhoto Library! You can easily mess thing up if you not very careful.
How do you want to "view" your pictures? You may want to just export the desided pictures to a temporary folder.

How do I recover the original jpg photo files from my computer? They are embedded in the iPhoto Library and I cannot see the actual file.

I am trying to locate the original jpg or photo files that I uploaded from my camera. I know that the photos are there, because they show up in my iPhoto Library. Where can I go to find the original file ex: DSCN1242.jpg or OLM4564.jpg ?

Select the photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Export" and set the "Kind" in the Export panel to "Original". That will write a copy of the original to a folder you can access in the Finder.
The command "File > Reveal in Finder" will show you the original inside the iPhoto Library, but you must not access the files this way. If you access them from other apps using the Finder, you will corrupt your library.

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images. How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images (I think to 72 dpi from original 600 dpi).
How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

We are still trying learn how to use Pages to build ePub documents with high resolution graphics that will expand clearly when they are tapped. Very large screen shots are my example here.

How to delete raw files while keeping original jpgs/later versions?

I'm using Aperture currently, which apparently can't do this -- if Lightroom can, I'm switching.
What I'd like to do is shoot everything in raw + jpg (using Nikon D200), and then keep the raw files only for the important shots.
I really like having the option of raw processing, but the storage demands are obviously very big. If I could just make a selection of multiple photos, and have a command to delete all the raw files from the selected photos, while keeping the original jpgs, that would be great.
Also, it would be great to be able to manipulate a raw file, and then when I'm satisfied with the image, to generate a full-size jpg & ditch the raw file. The jpg then becomes the master for that image.
Basically, I want the raw file safety net for everyday images, without gobbling up gigabytes of disk space every time...
Can Lightroom do this?

I am unable to hide RAW files in Bridge.
And I can't delete or rename them in Windows Explorer.
I'm using XP SP3.
Rejected RAW files appear in Bridge as unlabeled files. They are not hidden. "Show Hidden Files" is not checked; "Show Reject Files" is NOT checked. I've got the Label settings on. I created a subfolder and moved a batch of rejected RAWs there. They still show up, but at least they're labeled "Rejected."
Delete: I have a big sort to do, and I'd even be willing to delete these RAW files to avoid seeing them in Bridge.
I tried deleting them in Bridge using several methods, but I get an error message that tells me I don't have the "sufficient permissions." This happens even when I try to delete just one file.
I also tried deleting them in Windows Explorer. There, I got an error message that theyare in use by another program. I cannot re-name them in Explorer either. I got the same error message even when I shut down my computer and opened ONLY Windows Explorer. In Properties > File Attributes, neither Hidden or Read-Only are checked.
This is a big and important project, and I'm TOTALLY STUMPED!

Maintain Original JPG Numbers on LR Processed Files

How do I maintain the same image numbers (e.g., IMG_1234) from my original JPGs onto my LR processed JPGs when I save them via "Print to File"? Lightroom wants to renumber them consecutively starting with 001. I need to keep their original digital number (which may not be consecutive) so that I can reference them back to the original photos.

You can’t with Print to File.
The files you are printing to correspond to pages, and in the general case there can be multiple photos per page so it doesn’t make sense for LR to use an image name since there could be more than one image name associated with one page. Also, since they are pages, people number then in the order they are to be in a book of some sort.
Is there a reason you’re not just Exporting rather than Printing to create copies of your images?

UIImage and original jpg file data

Hi,
i've encountered a strange behaviour in my iphone app that i didn't expect when using UIImage.
I would really need your expert help.
Assuming i have a jpg file (lets say.. somewhere in my app sandbox).
I load the image to UIImage using - UIImageInitWithContentsOfFile.
After that i use the UIImageJpegRepresentation and NSData object to write the image back as a file.
when i compare the original jpg file to the new one i just saved i see that the images are NOT the same !
Well, they look the same, but when i take a close look at both images i see a drastic change in the image's data (such as color space differences).
So, my question is - every time i use the UIImage object the original jpeg file data will be replaced when i write back to disk the same image ?
Isn't there a way to pass through the UIImage object but obtaining the EXACT same jpeg as a result ?
will my jpeg file data will change everytime i use UIImage ?
my app is really depended on jpg data consistency and i would like to know if that's possible..
please... need help.
thanks.

Hi,
thanks.
i still don't understand - is it possible to hold the jpeg data as raw data of an image which was picked using the ImagePickerController (i.e an image from the photo library). as i understand, since the picker controller gives me back an UIImage, the original jpeg data of the image file (the image from the photo library) is not available anymore because the UIIMage representation of the image is a bitmap (which means the photo library image was decompressed to be held by the UIImage).
what i really need is to hold the original jpeg raw data of the jpeg file of the image that was picked from the photo libray. it seemed to me that after i get the UIImage from the controller and save it to my sandbox as a jpeg, the original image from the photo library and the new saved image are not the same in terms of size and color space.

Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport. Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru. How do I avoid this?

Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto

PSE8 Can't save changes and replace original .jpg with edited

Hello,
After editing any .jpg, can't save the changes and replace the original with the edited one "because the file is already in use or was left open".
I have to save it with other name.
I'm working with PSE8 and OS X 10.9.1
Any help would be welcome! Thank you in advance

Thank you Barbara! no, I didn't know I had to do that... I'll try it
Thank you again!

Why is the saved JPG file much bigger than the original JPG file??

I used Image Processor in Bridge CS5 to open a jpeg, apply sharpening action and save as a jpeg. The bit size, color space and pixel dimensions are identical. However, when I save at Quality 12 I get a Jpeg file that is nearly DOUBLE the size of the original jpeg Only if I drop it to Quality 10 do I get a file that approximates, but doesn't equal, the original jpeg.
1) Isn't 12 the same as saying 100% and as such the file size should be the about the same?
2) why would it increase so much? Example about 6 mb to about 12mb???
Does this sound right? I am sure I am doing the steps and setting the parameters correctly. The action simply applies unsharp mask:
I can set the quality to 10 and get an approximate equivalent file size...but I want the higher quality of a 100%/12 setting.
WHAT AM I MISSING???
Thanks - Kevin

WHAT AM I MISSING???
The simple fact that JPEG is always a fully re-compressing format. Your newly created files bear no relationship to the original ones - no binary data structures are retained; the compression algorithm is always applied fresh upon the fully decoded original image and if you use different settings, the result is different. Moreover, since the initial compression artifacts become "valid pixels" once decoded, the successive compression has no way of knowing that they actually are "bad pixels" and those fine disturbances agfain result in different compression patterns. That is, after alll, why consecutive saves to JPEG will always degrade quality even at the best settings...

Why does iPhoto only import digital photo files at one-half or less of the original jpg file size?

My 24" 2008 iMac, running 10.5.8 and iPhoto '08 (300 GB harddrive, 67 GB avail, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MH sdram), only imports my digital photo images directly from the camera at about 1/2 or less of the original file size. I thought it might be my 12.2 mgp. Samsung camera, until I just a 14 mpg. Lumix, and its doing the same thing. A 5 mg. images imports at around 2.4 mgs... a 14 mg image imports under 6... Its always done this, but until I bought the new camera, I assumed it was my peripheral issue.

Hi, I wonder if it's just maybe compressing them, highlight one in iPhoto & click on the little i icon for info, what is the size in Pixels compared to the original?

How do I export jpgs as tifs with the original resolution ?

Hi,
I am very new to Lightroom 5 (I only installed it today (on Windows 8.1) :-)) but I have read Victoria Bampton's Quick Start Guide and have read a number of forum posts over the last few weeks to get an idea about how the program generally works.
I am embarking on a project to scan and archive my family's photos and videos, and I will be using Lightroom to manage the collection. To start the project, I have just imported over 10,000 digital photos taken by a variety of cameras (36 of them, according to Lightroom !) over the last 12 years or so into a new Lightroom catalogue.   These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I started by doing an Export of a small number of photos to save the .jpg files as .tif files, but when reviewing the results, I noticed that the image's resolution was changed during the export. For example, one original jpg is only 96ppi but the exported tif is 240ppi. Another jpg is 180ppi and the tif is 240ppi. At least, that's what the metadata seems to be telling me (via the Details tab of the Properties dialog in Windows), so I assume it's true...
I understand that the 240ppi that I am seeing in the .tif file metadata was specified in the Image Sizing section of the Export dialog, so that's not the issue.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.   It would be great if the resolution setting in the Export dialog was controlled by the Resize to Fit checkbox, like the other settings in the section, but it doesn't appear to be (it's enabled even if the Resize to Fit checkbox is unticked).
I then thought about using the Library Filters to filter by the Horizontal Resolution metadata, so that I could select all the photos with the same resolution and export just those with the Resolution setting in the Export dialog set to the right number, and then repeat that process for each different group of original photos with a different resolution. Unfortunately, I have not been able to work out how to filter by the horizontal resolution metadata field - it doesn't seem to be available in the dropdown list of fields shown when I click on the up-down arrow next to the "Date" or "Camera" (etc.) columns in the Library Filter pane.
Finally, here's my question (or three):
Is there a way to export .jpgs to .tif files while keeping the original resolution ?
Alternatively, is there a way to select groups of photos by their horizontal or vertical resolution (so just those photos could be exported in a group with the right resolution specified) ?
Or is there any other way to do what I want (convert jpg to tif with the same resolution and keeping all the metadata) ?
Thanks for reading all the way through to the end.
John.

These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I'm not sure why you say this. In terms of long-term archival format, I think the two are equal, I am not aware of other reasons to do this, and thus in my opinion, the task of globally turning all your JPGs into TIFFs seems unnecessary. You don't gain anything by doing this. But you sure will spend a lot of time and take up a lot of disk space doing this.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.
Again, I think you have embarked upon an unnecessary task. The ppi in the file is essentially meaningless. A photo that has (for example) 3000x2000 pixels saved at 240 ppi is the exact same photo as the same photo 3000x2000 saved at 180ppi, not a single pixel has changed. You are placing a meaning and importance to this ppi number that just doesn't exist.
To answer your questions at the bottom, I would advise you to not do the things you are talking about, it seems to me that you have greatly misunderstood things.

Edits to a JPG Smart Object in a layered TIFF file: DOES NOT Save to the originally placed file?

When placing a JPG as a Smart Object (and even multiples) into a layered TIFF file: If I open each layered Smart Object JPG, make changes as a JPG and SAVE the file, I expect the ORIGINAL SOURCE JPG file that was placed to also be saved- I thought that is the file I was editing!
This SUCKS! To capture my edits to the original individual files: I now have to open each layed TIF file, Edit each smart object JPG and SAVE AS to overwrite the original and capture my changes? Is this the way its always been- I don't think it has. How can I edit a Smart Object file in a layered document and ALSO update the SOURCE file?

You should edit the original jpg, and then replace the smart object. There is a utility that makes this easier, if you do many of these. Looks liek this

Can't import jpgs from original file

I installed iPhoto6 (previous was 5) and it put my original photos into an original file (all jumbled together... not very nice of apple). I want to put some original jpgs from the original photo file (I made sure I own it and it is not locked) into iPhoto go get ready for iMovie. But, a box appears with "Unreadable Files: 1
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)"
I would like:
#1 my old organization back so I can fine a folder with my original pictures from my camera by date
2# at least be able to drag a picture from an original file to iPhoto
3# within iPhoto, view my photos from the date of 2001, month of 2 and day of 23.
Thanks

Searching for original image size of jpgs inserted into iBooks Author.

Does it matter or does iBooks filter and change the jpg within program after inserted? Does the jpg become part of the iBooks Author file or read the original jpg until collected for publishing?
I'm creating a full-page layout with images for a children's style book. The jpgs insert small and I've been dragging each one to fill the page. Look great on my MacBook Pro but don't know how they translate into iPad as I don't own one. The jpgs' outer boundaries cross onto the next page to fit as I want it too.
If I knew the exact size of the iBooks Author page and the pixels allowed, I could crop in photoshop and insert it meeting the dimensions. Can't find dimensions of the page size in all my reading.
Thank you!

You should size/crop outside and then bring in...

Exporting JPGs with their Original Filename

So, I have these sets of cropping documents with images laid out in them taking up the entire frame, no text or anything else. At the end of the day, I need to export the crops with the original JPGs' naming convention. Right now, I am going through, exporting and then renaming. Sometimes I get sequential images with the same prefix in the same document which is super easy. However, other times there are images with different prefixes, a couple image numbers missing, or even the sequence being out of order. I was wondering if there was a way(maybe a script) out there that would allow me to export JPGs of each page while using the placed JPG's filename. So if page 1 had a JPG named image_1 and page 2 had a JPG named image_4, when I export them, I'd end up with two files, image_1 and image_4.
It might sound silly, but it would be super helpful when exporting documents with 30+ images, sometimes laid out in the incorrect order or with different prefixes. Any one have any ideas? Or even if it would be possible?
