RAW file processed in PSE doesn't show up in iPhoto library.

I'm new to digital photography and last night decided to process a RAW image for the first time. I opted to select a NEF RAW file in my iPhoto library and process it in PSE 4 for Mac. I did a right click on the image and selected "Edit in external editor." After processing the RAW image I saved it as a DNG file. However, when I returned to my iPhoto library I could find the DNG thumbnail. The NEF thumbnail from which it was derived is there but not the DNG thumbnail. This was totally unexpected, because after editing JPEGs in PSE 4 and saving them I have always found the thumbnails of the edited JPEGs in my iPhoto library alongside the original unedited JPEGs.
I can't do further editing of the DNG image if I can't find it! I would appreciate an explanation by some experienced hand as to what is going on here and how I can make contact with my newly produced DNG image! Also, how do I get it to show up in my iPhoto library?
I noticed that instead of saving the processed RAW file I had the option of opening it, presumably to do further editing in PSE. Had I done so and performed additional editing I would have saved it as a JPEG file. What procedure would I employ to make sure that the JPEG file ends up in the iPhoto library alongside the original RAW file?

The catch with working on a RAW file is that you cannot save it in its' original format. Your NEF file became a DNG file. iPhoto has no idea that this new file exists, so you'll have to import that to iPhoto.
This is also true any time you use a 'Save As' command.

Aperture 2.0 doesn't show all of iPhoto library

The first time I pulled up the iPhoto browser within Aperture, it didn't find any of my photos and then after a few minutes, it finally loaded in about half of my events. So not only is it showing an incomplete view of my iPhoto library, but I also can't get into any of the events or any of my iPhoto albums...nothing I click on responds..the browser just freezes up.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
Just tried it again, and this time it allowed me to click around but it still is only loading in half of my events.

I eventually found what the problem was on my end...
I tried lots of different things (placing my iPhoto library on another volume, rebuilding it, renaming all albums/events names which contained special characters (even not so special, such as é, à, ë), recreating the AlbumData.xml file, etc.), nothing worked.
Finally, I found that the problem came from one single picture that was included in the Event which was the first that was not shown in the iPhoto browser (in other words: the browser showed 14 Events out of a few hundreds - the picture was in the 15th Event). I guess it was corrupted or something.
I deleted this picture and now, the iPhoto browser in Aperture shows ALL my Events. Happy

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Saving a file with Dreamweaver it doesn't show up finder view of folder

Since I updated Mac Leopard it seems that when saving a file with Dreamweaver 8 it shows up in the files list but it doesn't show up in the finder when I look at the same folder.
But if I save to the desktop the file is visible and if I save to another folder it's visible. Any ideas why?

Hi harvey waxman;
It was my understanding that anything prior to DW CS3, which is version 9, is not compatible with Leopard.

I purchased a movie from itunes on my ipad but it doesn't show up in my library. It shows up in my history of purchases when I open that page but it is not noted in the list of purchases with all my other purchases. Any idea why?

I purchased a movie from itunes on my regular ipad but it doesn't show up in my library. I am able to view it via my movies icon on the Ipad I used when purchasing it but it does not show up in my purchases listing to download to my ipad mini. Also if I access my itunes account it does not show up in the history of purchases listing like all my other purchases but it does show up when i open that page at the very top; separate form the list. I've tried everything to get it to show up so I can download/view it on my ipad mini.

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

Raw file edited in Lightroom don't show edited in PSE

I have edited pictures taken in raw format in Lightroom, and imported them later in pse 7. When I import them, they are not edited, but the original file.
How do I make PSE read the edited information instead?
Thanks in advance
Kanolsen

Thanks for a very quick reply, and congratulations with passing 1000 postings!
I tested it again, and I upgraded to LR 2.4 today, and it didn't create an .xmp file. I found this article which makes LR create an .xmp file. Now PSE can see the changes I've made in LR.
I tried to install Adobe Camera Raw 5.4, but got an error message "Photoshop Camera Raw (64bit), Can not install. Click cancel". I have camera raw 4.5 and I don't have a 64bit system. I can't find any 5.4 for 32bit system?
I didn't see any edits I had previously done in Lightroom in PSE's organizer, nor did the raw file have any modified timestamp.
I really like PSE organizer for tagging pictures so I find them easily, and I have gotten used to Lightroom for editing my files after I got more interested in taking pictures, LR is a lot easier to quickly modifying a lot of pictures compared to PSE where you have to open editor for each and every picture (making sure I can't be bothered fixing up the pics). So my workflow is to import to LR and modifying the pictures to my liking, and then importing them in PSE organizer for looking at them later. I don't use LR for looking at pictures later on. Is that an OK way of doing it, or is there an easier way?
Perhaps I should import as .DNG file to reduce the dependency on the .xmp file?
Thanks again for a quick reply, I have been slower to reply as I had to check and recheck what was happening.

EPL5 RAW FILE IMPORT TO PSE 10

Hi. I have just moved over to an Imac and have PSE 10 installed, but cannot get EPL5 files to be imported. I cannot seem to get a plug-in to work. Is it possible to upload EPL5 raw into PSE10?

Is that the Olympus PEN E-PL5?
It looks like you would need at least camera raw 7.3, which unfortunately pse 10 doesn't support.
Pse 10 only supports up to camera raw 6.7
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1030798?tstart=0
Other than upgrading to pse 12, you could use the 8.2 dng converter to convert your camera raw files to dng copies, which pse 10 should then open.

Running elements organizer 12 on mavericks can't import iphoto files since the option doesn't show up

Running Mavericks 10.9.3 with iphoto 9 loaded Elements 12 and went to import iphoto files - but the import option doesn't some "from iphoto" and the file/getphotos and videos/from iphoto doesn't show - what is the issue

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying, but you probably don't want to use "from iphoto" anyway. That's only for when you want to import your entire iphoto library (like when you decide you want to use organizer instead).
The first question is what are you trying to do? Do you just want to open photos from iphoto into the PSE editor or do you want to import them into the organizer for something?

RAW file processing with Elements 9

When I open a RAW image taken with a EOS 5D Mk III with Elements 9, I receive a message saying - cannot process file as it is the wrong file type?
When I attempt to re-open the same file, I receive a message - Could not complete your request because of a program error
The file size is 24 mb
Any help wopuld be appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi,
The 5D MK III is not supported by PSE 9. It requires ACR 6.7 or 7.1 which will not apply to PSE 9.
You can either :-
1) Update to a newer version of elements
2) Use the Canon software to covert the raw files to TIF files and then import the TIF files
3) Download and install the free Adobe DNG Converter. Convert the raw files to DNG files and then import the DNG files into elements.

Raw files uploaded to photo stream not showing on devices

I have Aperture set to automatically upload all the photos I import from my Canon 50D. In the past month the photos in RAW format, have not been showing up in my photo stream. When I look in ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub I can see all the CR2 files and I can see Aperture uploading in the activity window, but nothing is showing elsewhere. The only exception is my iPad that has some from two weeks ago, but the none of the raw files from yesterday are appearing on any device or iCloud.com. I can see jpg taken via iOS but not RAWs.
Any ideas? Has the OS X 10.10.1 or iOS 8.1.1 changed something, is there a new check box. Just slightly (very confused)
Thanks for any help.
Justyn

Justin,
can it be, that you activated iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iOS 8 devices? That essentially disables all easy ways to upload photos from your Mac to iOS devices. My Photo stream will stream from iOS devices to other devices and your Mac, but the Mac will no longer stream to the other devices. and iTunes Photo sync will no longer sync photos to the iOS devices. If you enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta), either disable it again in "Settings > Photos"on your iPhone/iPad, or use the page https://beta.icloud.com and and the Photos.app on that page to upload your photos from the Mac to your mobile devices.

Editing RAW files processed in iPhoto in the Windows version of Photoshop?

Although a fairly competent photographer I am new to digital image making/processing. Happily a professional photographer friend with a great deal of expertise in the digital area has offered to help me make some 13x19" prints I need for a job I'm completing. My friend as a very sophisticated facility for processing images and making prints so I pretty excited to have this opportunity.
Trouble is he uses a Windows version of Photoshop and has no experience with iPhoto, or for that matter Mac stuff in general.
My question is that I have some images shot RAW in 8 Megapixle Olympus E-300 and tuned up a bit in iPhoto 6. As I understand it iPhoto first converts RAW images into jpeg before processing and then outputs the edited images in that format. My friend, on the other hand, prefers to work with TIFF files.
How should I copy both the RAW and TIFF format images I have in iPhoto to a CD that will allow me to transfer the images I wish to print to my friends Window machine for editing in Photoshop?
Thanks!
Win

I suggest that you export the photos with kind = original which will give your your unedited RAW files - if you want the edited versions export with kind = TIFF if you want TIFF copies of the edited versions
Export these to a desktop folder and then burn that folder to a CD to take on your adventure

Canon 7D Raw File processing

Has LR3.6 addressed the poor processing of 7D raw files ?

You can view the Process Version of each photo using either Develop / Settings / Process, or as the Process item in the Camera Calibration panel at the lower right in Develop. When I import a new 7D RAW into LR 3.6 I get 2010 as the PV so I don’t think anything changed in LR 3.6.
Somehow the PV has become set to 2003 for the photos with the exclamation point. The factory default for LR is to use the most recent Process Version as a photo is imported, but perhaps you’ve inadvertently set the PV to 2003 and saved the LR defaults or are using a Import preset with a PV of 2003 stored in it, or accidentally synchronized one photo’s settings onto others with the PV set to 2003.

Fuji X-Pro 1 Raw file processing updated in 4.2?

With the release of 4.2 now supporting Fuji X-E1, does anyone know if this update fixes Fuji X-Pro 1 raw files?

I come across these sorts of post all the time while searching up information on a particular subject. You get some big shot in the community throwing a non-helpful reply out there.
The big shot with their non-helpful reply always seemed a bit… I don’t know, careless, smug. A lot of times I’m trying to research a subject and the reply comes across a lot like, well, I know it and so should you. Not always the case though. (In my job I’m asked a lot of simple questions, what I consider obvious. Things that are in the manual. I never brush people off so hastily though. I sit and help them because I don’t know… that seems like the proper thing to do)
Perhaps it’s just me, that I don’t think it’s appropriate to just brush someone off so easily. Perhaps it’s in my nature to put a thoughtful reply up. That even if I don’t fully understand the subject, I’d take the time to do a little research and see what I can find to help someone. I don’t subscribe to the mentality of just telling someone to “Google it”. I understand that Ian didn’t tell OP to google it, but I feel his replies are based in that same mind set.
It’s not just about brushing people off because they ask a question you feel they can answer themselves. I understand there’s a lot of information out there to those that know how to seek it. Not everyone does though and it’s wrong to assume as such. It’s better as a community to help people, even if their questions seem straight forward.
All I’ve found concerning raw files for the X-E1 so far are lab pictures. They don’t really correlate that well to real world performance and images. Though they may exhibit some of the problems, it doesn’t feel like I’m getting a clear image of the situation. Most of the threads I’ve found on the subject only have one image propped up as an example (Typically an image I don’t consider to be all that well shot, so what I can judge from it is still debatable)
Plus, I’d want other people’s experiences. Especially as a potential owner. I can only gather so much from a few sparse raw files.
Lastly, I’m not in a position at the moment to download random raw files and put them through lightroom. Even if I have a few moments to share, I’m not at a computer where I have access to lightroom/can install lightroom trial. This will change, in time, obviously, but at the moment this is the spot I’m in.
Sometimes there are problems like this, but at some point they get fixed. It can be difficult to sort through months of post of people complaining before you find the post where they say it’s fixed. People tend to quiet down after problems are fixed, so mostly what you still come across is the hordes of people that complained about it being broken.
Dog me if you’d like over the fact that I replied to a post that was a few months old. I don’t care. Obviously it reached someone.
P.S. Sometimes it’s really nice to talk to another human being when you have a problem or question. I think a lot of people are conditioned to do that. Questions may not always be necessary, but that doesn’t mean they should be shrugged off. There was a time where we didn’t have this magical land of porn and cat photos and in those days it was quite acceptable to ask each other questions, even on simple subjects.
