Processed RAW images revert to "original" view in iPhoto

iPhoto brings RAW images in from my Nikon D70 just fine. I choose "edit in external editor" and process them in Photoshop Elements 4, saving them back to iPhoto. So far, so good. The edited version always shows in thumbnail view and shows also when I click for full view...at least for a moment. It then "reverts" to the original image view, though I still see the edited version in thumbnail and that is the image that is sent when I e-mail.
It's just irritating not to be able to view the edited version singly or in a group comparison. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround? Has anyone else experienced this?

This issue has never been resolved, but I am marking it as solved just to take it out of the queue

Quick preview looks better than processed raw image...??

Hey all, probably a bit of a "newb" question here... so forgive me, and thank you...
Using a D7000 and often times when I shoot - the preview image on the camera looks BRIGHT, VIVID and ROBUST ... after import however - when reviewing my shots, JUST as I arrow over to the next shot - many of the preview images tend to look better than the processed image that aperture displays once it's done spinning it's wheels.
Perhaps I've messed up a Raw Fine Tuning setting?
When I click on quick preview and browse through an import, the pictures truly look nicer to me than the when aperture processes them.
Without question, the display on my acer monitor is a far cry from the miniature compressed image on the back of my nikon, however the more i shoot, the more I realize a disconnect between what I think I should see, and what I'm ultimately seeing in Aperture.
Are their specific settings to fine tune the import of raw d7000 shots?
Thanks much.. gk

I take it you're shooting and processing RAW images?
It's worth remembering that if you have a picture style selected (i.e. vivid etc), your camera might be applying extra contrast and saturation etc to the image you see on the back of the camera. Camera manufacturers do this so that we can give our pictures some extra punch and colour automatically.
I'd also be wary of comparing what you see on your camera to what you see on your monitor. Unless both are calibrated, you shouldn't trust either of them 100%. The best example of monitor calibration is going to look at TV's in an electronics store. You'll probably notice that in a wall of TV's, some pictures will be darker, some lighter, some more vivid, some more saturated. Using a calibration tool adjusts the picture your screen and monitor displays so that it is 'accurate'.
It's a bit like having a room full of scales and adjusting them so that they all read 1 kilogram when a 1 kilogram weight is placed on each of them. Calibrating monitors will mean that when you display an image on it, it will always look the same rather than getting the some light/some dark problem you saw in the TV store.
It's a tricky subject to explain (don't worry if it doesn't make sense), but you might like to have look around YouTube for videos on the subject.

Hi there
Unfortunately, CS4 does not support the Nikon D7000. You'll have to download the Adobe DNG converter (links below) to process RAW files from your camera.

I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?

I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?

I think you'll note that Google found the list for 10.8, amazing, isn't it
No, neither are supported for Raw on 10.5.8
You'll need 10.6.8 minimum for the D5100
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
and for the D3200 you'll need 10.7.4 plus compatibility update 3.1.3

Bear in mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too.

Before purchasing Elements 12, I would like to know if it will process RAW images from an Olympus OMD-EM1. Can someone advise? or tell me how to find out?

Before purchasing Elements 12 I need to know whether it will process RAW images from an Olympus OMD-EM1. Can someone advise or tell me how I can find out?

Hi,
This document defines the supported cameras
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
According to that, the OM-D E-M1 is supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12. You should try the trial download first to make sure you are happy with it.
Once you have downloaded and installed the trial version you will need to go to the help menu and select Updates..
If you decide to buy it, you can convert the trial version to the full version by supplying the new serial number.
I would avoid the Mac App version and don't get the upgrade version unless you have an older version.
Good luck

Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

Hi everyone..
..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them using canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
anyone else had similar problems....Andy

I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like? Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

Aperture 3.4.3 cannot read/process RAW images from Canon EOS M.

According to the information provided by Apple, Aperture 3.4.3 is capable of reading/processing RAW files from the Canon EOS M. I do not find that to be the case. I can see them in the preview when they download but as soon as I click on them I am met with the message that the files are in a format that Aperture does not recognize. ***** because I usually ONLY shoot RAW. Am I alone here?
Thoughts?

It sould work in Lion also according to this page from Apple. Are you sure you have the latest version of Aperture?
I would double check just to make sure you have the latest OS and Aperture.
What happens if you open the RAW file in Preview?
If you go to /System/Library/CoreServices you'll see the RawCamera.bundle file. Select it, right click on it and choose Get Info from the menu. The Info window will look like
You should have version 4.01

Universal Binary programs for processing RAW images

Hi,
Are there any universal binary programs for processing RAW files (from my Nikon D200)?

I currently use a D-70 and have had no problems importing and manipulating NEF files with iPhoto 6.0.1. I would assume that the D-200 uses the same file structure as the D-70, doesn't it?

Imoprting RAW images from my Nikon D90 into iphotos

I'm sorry I know this must be pretty basic but I am having problems importing my RAW images into iphotos. I have a Nikon D90 and I shoot in both jpeg and RAW - when I import the images from the camera into iphoto it imports two images but they are both jpegs and of course when I upload the either of them into Photoshop - Photoshop does not open up with the RAW convertor because the image has come across as a jpeg.
1) Have I lost my RAW images - if not how do I get them back, and
2) What should I be doing in the future to avoid this?
Sorry to trouble you with such basic info - but you know what it is like - it can be so frustrating until you get it right,
Thanks
Ray

when I import the images from the camera into iphoto it imports two images but they are both jpegs
They're not.
Processing Raw in iPhoto
When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a jepg preview of the file. Why? Because you cannot do anything with a Raw: you cannot print it, use it a slideshow and so on. However, with this preview you can work with the photo immediately. (Which kind of makes shooting Raw and Jpeg perhaps a little pointless?)
You can, however, also process the Raw in iPhoto simply by editing it. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut). The output from the processing then replaces the preview. You can choose to save your output as either jpeg or tiff in the iPhoto Preferences.
When you are processing Raw in iPhoto you will see the Raw badge on the bottom of the iPhoto Window
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Note: After you have processed a Raw, subsequent edits to the photo are carried out on the processed jpeg (or tiff) not the Raw. If you want to go back to the original then you need to use the Photos -> Reprocess Raw command.
Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots. Add that to your jpeg from the Raw and Jpeg shooting and now you'll have three versions of the shot...

Import RAW images to Pictures file instead of iphoto

I am trying to import my RAW image files onto my MacBookPro, but they go directly into iphoto and only display as small file JPGs. How can I get them to import into a Pictures file or Desktop?

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but lets see if I cannot give you some idea.
If you got to \User\yourname\Pictures\iPhoto Library\ Right click iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents.
In there, you will probably see 2 folders titled "Modified" and "Original"
In those folders, you will see your pictures categorized into Years.
Good luck. Hope thats what you were looking for.

Hero Images Revert to Original Size After Being Resized

Hi,
I have read many forum questions about resizing hero images in slideshows, but I'm having a slightly different problem:
In order to have larger images in my slideshow I have been resizing the hero images to 500px height one by one (as I can't seem to find a way to edit all hero images together).
But now I am finding that images I have already made larger have reverted back to their original size. This is without exiting the program or even changing windows.
This is already a time consuming process as I'm working on an artist's site and there are multiple slideshows with dozens of images each.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Problem processing RAW images with Lion and 3.1.3

Images that have "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing. Attempting to send to a plug-in or Photoshop results in a dialog "Editing Error This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format." Images that were previously processed with the current version of RAW processing work correctly.

There is another discussion for problem with raw and the new 10.7.3.1 : my Raw from Panasonic GH2 are green and Aperture says : treatment with old version
I find the solution to correct my RAW : they are green because of the bad WB applied by Aperture.
I put here the solution but I have to correct manually and ask to treatment in the RAW windows for each picture. If it doesn't work, I correct manually the WB.

Processing RAW image using Lightroom 3

Hi,
I am shooting RAW with my Nikon D90. One thing that I am not sure is that, when we first import the pictures to a catalog. Once the import is done, I go the library and click on any of those pictures, I first see the picture looks pretty sharp and bright for 1 to 2 second, but then seem like some preset has applied on top of it and the picture looks different. Anybody know if I can disable any default preset that come with lightroom 3?
