RAW and XMP files

I searched and found questions regarding exporting files with the attached XMP files. I'm wondering how to import RAW files that have XMP files attached to them. I found a bunch of old image files that are pre-Aperture and iPhoto when I stored everything in my folder system. Can I import the RW files along with my adjustments? Thanks.

Simple answer is I don't believe so, but it'll only take a moment to try one, right?

  • Making copies of RAWs and XMP files of select images into a new folder

    I have a group of 120 or so select images from a group of 3000, the selects
    three starred and red labeled. Now I would like to make a copy of those
    select RAW files and their XMP files and place in a new folder in order to
    burn a DVD of just those selects. How do I do this with LR? Export doesn't
    seem to offer this option, I can't seem to copy and paste like a typcial
    folder operation. I can drag the selects to another existing folder but
    then it moves them from their original location.
    Any help appreciated.

    Not currently from Within LR. Among other things Drag and Drop out of LR, which give you a copy w/o XMP sidecar on a Mac, is broken for Windows.
    You have to do it in Explorer.

  • Segregate 3+ star raw and xmp files for cloud backup

    Hi,
    I don't think there is a way to do this, but I thought I would ask.  I have  few terabytes of photo's that are cataloged in lightroom.  Only a few hundred gig are photo's that I rated 3-5 stars and are the only ones that I would want to be 100% certain I don't loose in a perfect storm data loss scenario. 
    I currently use windows 7 import everything into one master folder for my catalog, then sort and rate them all. Is there any way to direct lightroom to separate all photo's with a 3-5 star rating on my actual hard drive into a separate folder or duplicate them into another folder for cloud back-up?  I've tried showing the rating column in window, but it doesn't seem to bring my lightroom star ratings into windows.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thank you for the replies, sorry for the delayed repsonse, I've been in an "Edge Network" area for 2 days.  I am going to check ou the Publish services and see if this will meet my needs.
    You are correct that this is simply my "hell in a handbasket" back-up solution.  I have a very robust local backup, that includes raid along with on and offsite versioned back-ups, so this is simply there just in case.  If I lost everything but these photo's I'd still be okay, it's only 20% of so of my catalog so it's more practical to back up 400 or 500 gb though uploads.  Backing up the whole catalog might be an option, but it's a lot of extra time and bandwidth.  Perhaps it will become more practical in the coming months and years.
    Having said all of that, I would prefer to simply back-up the 3-5 star photo's in their original folders rather than duplicate them though an export.  I get the impression that the Publish services acts like a real-time dynamic filter that throws the 3-5 star photo's in a separate location that I will tag as a cloud back-up.  If I have to do it that way I will, but it's just more storage and complication.  Still it does provide a solution that I don't currently have.
    Thanks for the suggestions!

  • I have uploaded raw and jpeg files directly from my camera to my iPad (latest version) I have processed them in snapseed and want now to transfer back to my pc for further processing. How can I do this will a flash drive work?

    I have processed my raw and jpeg files on my iPad using Snapseed . What format are they saved in on the iPad and how do I transfer them back to my pc where I use photoshop elements. Can I use just an ordinary flaws drive with the USB adaptor? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

    The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files form a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

  • Camera raw and DNG files appear as generic icons

    Camera raw and DNG files appear as generic icons instead of image previews (Bridge CS5)
    What can I do ?

    Hi Yammer.
    First thanks a lot for taking your time to help me. I am really happy about it!
    I will try to answer:
    1)
    I meant by having the Camera Raw.8bi placed in BOTH "C:\Programmer\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5\Plug-Ins" and in C:\Programmer\Fælles filer\Adobe Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" the ACR will be found in two versions - or rather in two places (I know the former shouldn't be, but it solved my preview problem).
    2)
    YES - I do have tried twice starting the Adobe Bridge holding down the Ctrl-key and ticking the two (the third was greyed out but ticked anyway) and with no help.
    3)
    I have tried to do the *.8bi search you suggested, and this gives me the following dump - absolutely with a few more entries than yours. Some are like doubled.
    Do you think I can just delete these?
    Kind regards, Jan

  • Bridge CS5 is Corrupting Raw and JPG Files Right Before My Eyes

    I am using Bridge CS5 on a Mac to work on Raw files from a Canon camera.  The files all looked good in the cameras review, and looked good when downloaded to the computer then the files started to corrupt and become unusable one at a time as I watched.  They became all white or lines of color.  Not all of them corrupted yhough (about 225 of 1100 did though).  I eventually worked the uncorrupted files and even turned them into JPGs and sent them out.  The next day I pull up the pics in bridge to see if they are still bad.  All of a sudden files I opened and worked on yesterday started to corrupt one after another.  Both the JPG and Raw files are corrupt and unusable even though they worked yesterday.  It only happens when in Bridge.  What is going on?  This is riduculous.
    Terry

    Thanks for responding.  What happens is I highlight a large group of files then click on open with Bridge or in Bridge I go to the subdirectory with the files.  All the files are in a filmstrip on the left side of the screen.  All of a sudden the file that I am viewing becomes corrupt (that is it turns into multiple horizontal lines of colors.  Then I can watch as it happens to one file after another.  I would compare it to when you quickly view film strips that were just uploaded and the initial thumbnail is blurry and then slowly all the thumbnails get clear as they process.  But here they appear to already be fine thumbnails but then turn into the files with horizontal lines or sometimes just 30% or so so of the pic is visible and the rest is white or gray.  When I try to open it the file cannot be opened because it is corrupt.  It happens to both the RAW and the JPG file (I shoot in Raw+JPG).  The first day it happened to about 200 of the 1200 files.  So I was able to process the 1000 good ones in Raw convertor and create JPGs with no trouble.  The next day I open all the files in Bridge again to see if the bad ones are good now and files I had already opened and were perfectly fine in RAW converter start to corrupt one after another like the ones did the day before.  So I doubt it is the card or hardware it only happens in Bridge.  Bridge must have the capability to do something to the files.  It isnt making XMF files so thats not it, it is actually corrupting the RAW and JPG files.  Have you ever heard of that.  I found another forum with what sounded like the same issue to someone who had a Canon:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/645620
    But this happened to Windows and I use MAC.....but I do use a 7D like them.  I still wonder if Bridge just doesnt work well with Canon 7Ds or something like that.  The above thread never found a solution.  Maybe someone from Adobe has heard of this from others and discovered a reason or solution.  Until then I cant trust Adobe products at all....which really sucks after how much it cost me, but whole shoots lost is worse, I guess.

  • Viewing both RAW and JPEG files in iPhoto

    If I use the new Apple SD card reader to download image files from my camera, it is my understanding that by default it brings over both the RAW and JPEG versions of the same images to the iPad Mini (since my camera is taking both types with each image).
    Will these then show up as two separate images in iPhoto? The reason I'm asking is because if I have to bring over the RAW files, I want some way of then deleting them off my iPad because they take up to much HD space. 
    No one I've talked to at Apple seems to know if there's a way to bring over just the JPEG files I want when using the SD card reader, which seems like a huge oversight in functionality to me.
    Thanks, David.  

    LarryHN:
    1) your suggestion will not work for the issue I'm describing: if I have both Raw and Jpeg files of the same image on my SD card, the iPad sort of lumps these together, so when I view the contents of my SD card it shows as one image/file, and if I select it and download it, it brings over both the Raw and Jpeg versions of the image, which is what I am trying to avoid and why I started the tread in the first place.
    2) I spoke with sales people at two Apple stores and one person with their online sale, and none of them could addrss my issue. The online sales person said she might have to put me through to their tech people to resolve this or at least get the full, correct info. None of them were janitors.
    I did find a workaround which I think will work:
    Download the files over to my iPad, then use an app like Photo Manager Pro to be able to view the files by type, then select the Raw files and delete them from my iPad. This will work I hope, but seems like a lot of extra work for a device that's supposed to be user friendly--I think Apple missed the boat on this one, opting for making things 'simple' instead of functional for photographers.

  • Turning on 'write xmp files' in LR 5.4 changed the modified date on my old raw and jpg files. Can i stop this?

    On the advice of an article saying XMP sidecar files are a safer alternative to relying only on the catalog, I recently (June 16, 2014) turned on write XMP files. Now all my JPG and raw files have the same modified date of June 16, 2014, making it impossible to know which are the most recent files, etc.
    Is it possible to change this behavior to only create these files for new images - or to stop this behavior?
    I'm reverting to a backup of all my files and turning this option o ff for now.
    Thx

    I assume your raws are in DNG format? If xmp is in sidecar, it won't change raw file date.
    Anyway, saving xmp does not change any dates in Lightroom, so you should still be able to sort by edit time or capture time...
    But if you want control, you have to save manually instead of automatically.
    Two things that might help:
    1. Filter based on metadata status.

  • Raw and CR2 files won't sort by time

    I recently shot a wedding with my Nikon while my second shooter shot with her Canon. We made sure the times were the same so that Lightroom could work its organization magic. After I uploaded them, the CR2 files showed up above the Raw files. All of the images are in one folder and I have it set to Sort by Capture Time, but they will not mix together according to their times.
    When I uploaded my Nikon images I realized that my year was off. It was set to 2010 instead of 2011, so I changed the metadata accordingly and it changed to the correct year for all of my Nikon images. I uploaded the Canon images after that incident, but they still won't sort by time. Do you think that metadata change has something to do with the images not mixing together or it is the file names?
    There are about 1400 images all together it will be quite an exhausting experience to have to organize them myself. So I would definitely appreciate some help!
    Thanks!!
    Ruth

    Check the timezone of each filetype. 
    The US is several hours behind GMT so if the corrected NEFs are GMT-relative while the CR2s are US-time-zone-relative that could explain the issue, or maybe one camera had timezones set on it and one didn’t and the difference has nothing to do with the metadata correction you did.
    Did your metadata correction update the headers of the RAW files, themselves, or just LR’s internal information in its database and/or XMP files?
    If the RAW files were modified, check the timestamps with EXIFtool:
    http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    If only the LR-stored metadata was modified, not the RAW files, themselves, then create an XMP file for one CR2 and one NEF taken about the same time, using Metadata->Write Metadata to File(s), and examine the two XMP files in a text editor to see what the timestamps and timezones say.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 won't open RAW with XMP file.

    Hi,
    I searched for an answer but, could not find an answer.
    I edited a RAW file with Photoshop Elements 6 (mac). I saved the file and closed the program. Next day I fire up PSE6 and open the same RAW file; the file is unedited. How can I open the RAW file with the edits I made the day before? I see the xmp file in finder.
    I'm still on the trial version. Camera is a Canon 50D. I can open and edit the RAW with out problem. When I start PSE6 Adobe update fails and gives me the options: Ignore,Relaunch,Send report to Apple.
    After that PSE opens for me
    Help me Obi Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.
    Thanks.

    Are you hitting the save button? That is creating a DNG file someplace. If you just want to save your edits, that should happen automatically when you click Open or Done. If it doesn't, try going to your username>preferences folder and deleting the Adobe Camera Raw preferences.

  • Photoshelter and XMP file from Aperture

    Hello,
    I exported some Master RAW files from Aperture including the metadata XMP files.
    Then I upload the RAW files and the XMP files to Photoshelter.
    When I look at the IPTC info on Photoshelter all metadata is there beside the "creation date" of the photo.
    The XMP file contains the right information for the creation date as far as I can tell.
    Does anybody know, what's wrong here?
    Thanks and Regards,
    JO

    It's all run through the server or an external hard drive. We think we found the solution though.
    We tried to roll back out Camera Raw version to the 4.4 update since my employer uses Canon cameras and has issues with new version.
    Unfortunately we had to scrap the projects I had finished for him, but we're cutting our losses and moving ahead. Neither him or I can sacrifice more time into solving problems and getting this resolved.
    Thank you for the help.

  • Geotagging raws/ importing xmp files

    I'm shooting exclusively in Sony ARW raw format and look for an solution, now for over a year, to geotag my images inside Aperture - so far with no success. It seems to be an unholy alliance between Sony, not allowing to embed geotagging information into their RAW formats, and Aperture being unable to import xmp sidecar files.
    I can import import a folder containing ARW files with accompanying xmp files (created with an application like Geotag and containing the geotagging information for the unaltered RAWs) into Lightroom, and have all geotagging information incorporated into the EXIF fields of the Lightroom database automatically.
    But so far I found no way to get this information into Aperture, neither natively, nor with the help of Automator actions, AppleScripts or plugins.
    I really hope, the next version of Aperture improves on this. Meanwhile I've downloaded the Lightroom 3 beta to check whether this could become an alternative to Aperture ...

    Sorry for answering my own post, but I figured out a slight work around, and others may be interested:
    I have my photos arranged in folders containing 75-125 photos each. For each photo I created an iView catalog. Each catalog was then imported into the appropriate album in Aperture using Annoture.
    My struggle earlier was trying to load all my images into a single iView catalog. Annoture seemed to double count images, and choke when synchronizing large numbers of pictures (1000+).

  • LR5 and xmp files on import

    Hi,
    I have the trial of LR5 and I trid now to geotag my pictures. To do so, I convert the .gpx file to xmp with geosetter. The XMP are created but when I import them into LR, the GPS position is not imported. But If I embed the GPS info into the raw files (cr2) the position is imported but I'd like to keep the raw file untouched so this is why I use the XMP.
    When I try to "update metadata" it's not working.
    So how can I make lightroom to read the xmp files on import ????
    Thanks.

    Strange

  • Can't import RAW and psd file with same name different extension

    Trying to import a folder of images from desktop that I have been working with in Bridge CS3.
    LR won't import a RAW file that has a PSD file by the same name. Tried renaming the PSD and deleting the one with the same name, but says it is still there and won't import the RAW file - What is the correct workaround on this? Why can't it import same name files with different extensions?

    A forum search for 'RAW + JPEG' will give you more posts on this than you care to read. This will change. For now, import the RAW and PSD's from separate folders and then move them together for within LR.
    LR is seeing the RAW as a sidecar to the PSD. It is an unforseen effect of the RAW + JPEG thing where they decided to not import the JPEG, seeing it as basically a preview image for the RAW.
