RAW files destroyed in Win to Mac copy?

I'm trying to import raw files into LR 1.4.1 but I get an error message that "some import operations were not performed". It worked just fine on the PC.
When I bought the Mac, the Apple Store staff copied my files over to the Mac. I have a sub-folder called Windows PC in my Pictures folder. The names of the raw files appear in this sub-folder, so I thought they were, in fact there. I can't view them but all the metadata is there: camera, focal length, F number, etc. Everything except Dimensions--that reads 0 x 0.
Has anyone else had this experience? Any ideas?
I just took a couple of raw photos, placed them in a different folder, and am having the same problem. I'm betting this is operator error. What am I doing wrong?

You will find that some photos have question mark icons or exclamation point icons on them, this indicates that Lightroom does not know where the photos are located. These photos have to reconnected in Lightroom via this method: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
For future benefit, you might want to consider forcing Windows to not change your drive letter of this external HD, for example by assigning it a letter near the end of the alphabet (like S or T or U) and then reconnecting in Lightroom as described about.

I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

The D610 needs ACR 8.3 so you are easily covered there. I am not entirely clear on the process you are using the bring the files onto your hard drive. The safest way is to simply bring all the NEF files into a folder on your hard drive, then find them with bridge and open from there.
If still stuck, open Photoshop, and go Help > About plugins > Camera RAW and check that 8.7 installed OK.

Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert your files to DNG and CS3 should be able to open them.

Files panel - CS4 Win vs Mac

I'm a Mac user for a long time. Recently, I've done some website work on a PC using CS4. Irritatingly, on the PC, the Files panel [ungrouped] remains ontop of the files when opening them. I have to minimize the panel to see the open files. On Mac this was never a propblem in any version of CS or MX and prior for that matter.
Is there any way to get the same panel behavior on the PC (XP) as the Mac?
TIA

How do I not import RAW files into iPhoto

I shoot RAW + Jpeg with my cameras... Up until a recent upgrade to Mavericks... I would put the SD card in the iMac and it would import all the JPEGs, and then say something like 75 files could not be downloaded.
Those were the large RAW files and I would then just move them to an External Hard-drive and use Lightroom and Canon's DPP to edit them.
After the OS upgrade the RAW and JPEGs now both import into iPhoto and onto the Mac Hard-drive.
I can't seem to find a way to not import the RAW file into iPhoto. Is there something I am missing? I do not want those large RAW files wasting space on the mac, and I have notice iPhoto is really slow since the upgrade.
Thanks for any help

A. To move an iPhoto Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
B. iPhoto and Raw
1. 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).
2. 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:
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.
Further - and this is quite a consideration: Lightroom is not an editor. Like iPhoto it's a database app and images need to be imported, processed and exported from it. It occupies the same place in the workflow (manager/non-destructive processing) as iPhoto does so in makes zero sense to use both...

Why are my raw files being changed?

If I make changes in the Camera Raw window (i.e. change the exposure) and then "Open" it in Elements from the window, it applys those changes to the raw file, but the manual says "To open a copy of the camera raw image file (with the camera raw settings applied) in Photoshop Elements, click Open. You can edit the image and save it in a Photoshop Elements-supported format. The original camera raw file remains unaltered" - so why is it altering my original raw file?
Thankss

It isn't altering your file. Elements can't write to your raw file; it stores your changes in an xmp sidecar file, not in the original file. But if makes the reasonable assumption that the reason you made changes to your conversion settings is that you want to apply them. If you don't want to keep the changes when you open the file, then undo the ones you don't want to keep before opening the file into the editor. You are never opening your original raw file in PSE, just the converted copy.
To return to the basic elements conversion settings for the file, in the raw converter click the little lines to the right of where it says Basic in the converter window and choose Image Settings.
Here:
That's the mac version, but the location is the same in windows.

Retrieving Raw Files after import...?

I shoot all RAW files and have imported them to my iPhoto. How do I retrieve the RAW file from iphoto. If I copy and drag them out of iPhoto they are .jpg... Is it too late and does iPhoto convert them upon import.
Also and clue on if Aperture does the same thing?

File -> Export, Kind: Original
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.
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.
Aperture works in an entirely different way. What are you trying to do, exactly?

Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.
SFR
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

My CS4 will not open RAW files

I just moved my cs4 to a new 15" MacBookPro and now I can not open my raw files NEF I am using Mac Os X 10.7.4 and my camera is Nikon D90 The eroor message says Photoshop does not recognize this file type

You can check to see what version of Camera Raw will support your camera here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You can verify which version of Camera Raw goes with the version of the Adobe application you have here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
For other questions, see here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515
If you find that a version of Camera Raw later than the one you have is required and is supported by your version of Photoshop, usually you can just choose Help - Updates in Photoshop and have the latest Camera Raw release be installed, though if that fails there are downloads available from Adobe that will allow you to install Camera Raw manually.

Incorrect TIFF tags added to raw files

I have observed this on a CR2 raw file updated by Bridge on Mac. I don't know if the same error occurs on Windows as well.
The tags XMP and Photoshop have the type UNDEFINED, but they are supposed to be of BYTE type.

Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
Thanks again,
Kieren
EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
Many thanks!

Import matching raw files?

I'm switching from the discontinued Aperture, but my workflow doesn't seem to be supported in LR. I shoot raw plus jpeg, and store everything off-line. I import the jpegs-only for organizing and culling and for many purposes, they are good enough. For the special pictures, I import the matching raws for detailed processing. Aperture had an "import matching raws" facility. I haven't found anything like that in LR. Any ideas?

Rob Cole wrote:
Well, if you import the jpeg and throw away the raw, then yeah - you save a lot of storage, but if you are keeping the raw for possible import later, then you're still having to store it somewhere - that's all I meant - the act of importing doesn't consume storage, not throwing away raws is what takes storage - whether they're imported or not.
Put another way: when you import a raw image, it just makes a small entry in a database, it doesn't make an internal copy of your raw file. OK, yeah: it'll copy it from your camera card, but you need to do that anyway if you want to have the option to import later, whether importing now or not.
Not my most eloquent description, but does that make sense?
In other words, a raw file takes the same amount of space on your disk whether it's been imported or not, thus you don't save any storage by not importing it (you can only save storage by deleting the raw file itself from your disk).
Yes, of course. But I'm not at all concerned about total hard disk space. What I meant about saving space is saving space on my laptop, where disk space is constrained, especially with SSDs that I'm fond of.
The camera cards can be dumped onto external drives at my leisure, but copying to the laptop is often done in the field, and it's nice to be able to copy the jpegs only and still get high quality without tethering, and then load the raws when you need them. When the projects done, they can all be archived, keeping only the previews.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to suggest there is no value in being able to defer importing of the raw file - there are a fair number of people who want to do it - NOT to save storage, but for "workflow" purposes: start with the jpeg and do minor edits if any, then import raw only if more painstaking editing is warranted.. - that way you don't have raw images cluttering your catalog when you have no use for them, yet.
Right. But they do also clutter your disk and limit your storage if you find it convenient working on a laptop without external drives.
