RAW images (free database or other) for explore

Hi,
At this moment I have a simple camera Panasonic DMC-FZ8.
Before buying a step better I am curious to see the quality-difference of RAW-images of some other cameras like Nikon DX or Canon etc.
And (not for buying, but to see the difference) may be some FX RAW images of a professional camera.
I would like to experiment with the RAW-files of those cameras.
Question:
Where can I find some free un- edit RAW images (for download) to experiment with it in ACR .
Images with the theme like those below...also: nature / vacation / landscape.
Thanks Fred K

I put square brackets around something Google should search for to designate the words would be in the Google text box, but the web-forum email-intake process must use square brackets for link delimiters which wasn't what I meant.  It wasn't a link it was just three words.
The suggestion would be to Google for the three words:  Sample RAW download, along with the brand, model of camera.

  • HT5182 How can I convert Raw images from iphoto to jpg for the web?

    I have some pictures in Raw mode stored in my Iphoto that I need to convert in JPG for the web and to print in business cards, I have been going around e-mailing the pictures to myself in large or medium size and then saving them again to my iphoto. Is there a way to do this from iphoto directly?

    Are your pictures on your iMac or on an IOS device?
    On your iMac use "File > Export " set the jpeg quality and size you want:

  • Remove images from database...

    I prefer to import images by reference to Lr, that is, keep the original files where they are. On occasion a mistake happens and an image is fully imported into the database. If I remember what these images are it is easy to remove them from the database and re-import them by reference. However, if one does not remember the imported images, how can one identify them? Is there a flag or something that identifies images that were imported fully into the database?

    Antonio, you are using the word "import" differently than LR does. To LR, import means that it should show the file and be responsible for managing the file. The RAW file stays where it is and is not affected by this. Don't make the mistake of assuming that because you can see the raw image on the hard drive, that LR has not imported it. It either leaves them where you put them or it moves them to a new directory structure, depending on the Import options you choose - but either way, the raw file still exists on the hard disk and is still accessible to external tools. This is by design.
    LR then generates preview images for import files, and updates them as you work with the image in the Develop module. It *can* use a JPEG preview if such exists as an initial preview image, but that is solely a matter of convenience. The key point is that previews are LR's way of showing you the file, since it can't show you a RAW file directly.
    But the previews are not really considered to be what LR imported; they are instead the byproduct of the fact that the original RAW image was imported.

  • Recent issues downloading RAW images to iPhoto from EOS 40D

    Hi,
    I've been using iPhoto to process RAW images from my EOS 40D for ages without any issues, but I'm now getting an error message saying it can't import the files from the camera as they are in an unknown format. I've reinstalled iPhoto, but no change. I can't recall the last update to iPhoto, but I get the feeling it was fairly recent, and this may coincide with that. Is anyone else having the same problem, or has anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks

    What version of iPhoto? What version of the OS?
    Shooting Raw? sRaw?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How to convert RAW images to JPG in Imagebrowser EX 1.4.0.5

    I installed ImagBrowser EX so I can view my raw images.  It works fine for viewing but I can't find how to convert them to raw images.  The manual and help file says to go to Edit > Process RAW Images but when I go to the edit menu, there is no such option.  There is only Correct red-eye, auto correct, adjust color and brightness, increase sharpness, crop imae, insert text, edit movies and extract multiple images from movie
    Help?

    You need to install Canon Digital Photo Professional from the camera-supplied CD.

  • Dodge and Burn on RAW images

    Looking to start using RAW files more often to process my images.
    Tried to use the dodge tool with a RAW file over the weekend and recieved a notification saying somthing along the lines of "Cannot use this function with a 16bit file, must convert to 8bit"
    I also recieved a similar message when trying to use the magic brush tool.
    I would like to be able to adjust exposure, color, contrast (clarity) etc. when working with a RAW file. Would like to be able to adjust these parameters using the select tool, and would also like to be able to "brush" theses adjusments on. Also, if there is a Gradual ND filter function available, i would like to know where to find it.
    Is it possible to do these things (with a RAW image) using PSE? If so, how?
    Or do I have to purchase Lightroom if i want to work with RAW images?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    I don't believe you can dodge and burn on a RAW in PSE.
    You can do it in the PSE Editor, after converting the file to 8 bits. For dodge and burn, there's probably no noticeable difference between doing it 8 bits vs 16bits. However, I would definitely advise you to do as much editing at 16bits before you switch to 8bits, because you can't switch back.
    You could, if you want, use Lightroom to dodge and burn RAW photos.
    The Magic Brush tool won't work on RAWs in PSE, you'll have to convert to 8bits; and this tool doesn't exist in Lightroom.

  • Urgent : how to put an image into database and how to get it from it?

    hi,
    in the database i made a longblob type for image, and in my java code i have the path of the image (String): "C:\............." and i want to put this image in my data base.
    also i want to know how to get the image after put it in the database.
    please help me, it's so urgent.

    This is a way of getting the image out of the database.
    class yourClass{

    byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int length = bin.available();
    buff = new byte[length];
    while ( bin.read( buff, 0, length ) != -1 ) {
    byteArrayOutputStream.write( buff, 0, length );
    bin.close();
    catch(Exception e){
    The class about is used to take the image out of the database and store it in an object which is then streamed out through a servlet to display on the jsp page.

    while ( iterator.hasNext() ) {
    pro = ( Product ) iterator.next();
    response.setContentType("image/jpg");
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = pro.getImage();

    This is a little messy but if you search the forums you will find out more on it. Search for Images and database.

  • Can I create DNG files while at the same time keeping the original camera RAW images?

    I wish to create DNG files for my existing Lightroom catalogue, but also wishe to retain the original camera RAW images. If this can be done can you please advise how I go about it as I seem only to be able to find an option for conversion to DNG only.
    Thanks

    In the Conver-to-DNG dialog, you have the option to have the original Raw file deleted or not:
    But, after the conversion, only the DNGs will show up in the catalog, not the original Raw images also.

  • Poor Quality RAW image in iPhoto

    Anyone else having these issues? I'm shooting with the Nikon d70 in RAW mode. In the thumbnail mode the pics look great. When I go into edit mode the quality of the image decreases significantly. No detail in the shadow (blotchy) and it looks posterized. Yet, when I open it in ACS it looks fine.
    I've contacted Apple about this a couple of months ago, but nothing's been done.
    Just curious if anyone has had poor print results etc.. if dealing with a RAW file in iPhoto.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Mary. I recall seeing this after I recalibrated the color on my display, some time ago. I thought that would help with the darker color on iPhoto pictures. I went back to the original color profile (in display preferences) and the problem went away. Seems odd that simply changing your color profile would do this, or maybe it was something very specific, like choosing the advanced option or a different white point/gamma value.
    I'm not a color expert and this was mostly just experimentation hoping to rid my pictures of the darker tone in iPhoto, so I'm sure I did something iPhoto didn't like. It only happened to my RAW images, I think.

  • I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

    Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
    I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

    Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day.
    There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

    I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5.  I've been using this for years.  I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message.  I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work.  I checked import menu and nothing has changed.  I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card.  Any thoughts?

    The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
    The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

  • GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6.  I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw.  Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence.  The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
    Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
              - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
              - save those as TIF files
              - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
              - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
              - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
              - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
    If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
    I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied.  If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects.  It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects.  Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all.  I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
    There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions.  I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG.  I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
    Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw).  I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files.  (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
    Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)?  I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8.  I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
    I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings.  As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
    If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while.  I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete.  Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)?  If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

    I am using Lightroom 5.7, 64 bit with Windows 7 Professional. For no apparent reason, I now get an error message when I export a photo, say a raw image to a JPG. However, the exported image seems to be OK. But now I notice that my LR directory of folders in Library view does not show images correctly: If there is a folder with sub-folder(s), the folder will indicate 0 images, but the sub-folders show the proper number of images. What happened and is there a fix? I tried uninstalling Lightroom and re-installing, but problem persists.

  • My Canon Rebel is no longer recording RAW images but set for RAW in manual mode.

    I've tried changing memory card. My card's been recently formatted. I tried setting quality as RAW only not both RAW + Jpg...but still not getting RAW images in upload. Lightroom settings are fine and able to upload RAW from my Canon G12. I tried clearing setting but no affect. Is a factory reset a possible solution?

    Tahdah, tahdah and just plain dahhhh!!! I figured it out and if I share the answer I'll sound just plain stupid. But here goes in case someone else has the same problem, or should I say the same misunderstanding. In short, as it turns out I didn't have the quality set on RAW. I had checked, and rechecked the menu>quality window several times and each time misread it until I was just looking in the manual. In it the list of quality options is in a single column. In camera RAW is in a second column next to L with a quarter circle. I thought I had RAW selected. I'd been saying that the letter L was there. The manual, thank goodness, had the single column and said that was a JPG. Here I was reading about battery checks etc and there it was. I had been checking settings a while back and managed to change from RAW to JPG and not figured that I'd not changed back correctly. Whew!!! Call me dumb but I'm stupidly delighted right now ;o) Thanks to all those who tried to help.
    OK, Debbie, maybe you'll feel better after I confess to doing something every bit as stupid. Recently my wife and I were driving home from a visit to our daughter's house in Philadelphia, and I used the opportunity to drop off my two 7D's and a couple of lenses at Canon's Jamesburg service facility for their usual cleaning and inspection. (I'm a CPS Gold Member, so it's an included perk.) I knew from previous experience that this would result in a partial clearing of the camera's user settings. Some items, like my name and copyright notice, would be left intact; but others, like my autofocus microadjustment settings, would be wiped. I was ready for that, had long since committed the AFMA's to a spreadsheet, etc.
    But alas, I overlooked the fact that the quality setting that you cite above was one of those that would revert to its factory default. And the default is high-resolution JPEG, not RAW. (I always use RAW, and my favorite photo editor, Digital Photo Professional, does a crummy job on JPEGs.) So a week later I blithely walked into a moderately important photo shoot with one of my cameras set to JPEG. Fortunately, the other camera I was using, an almost new 5D Mark III, hadn't been to Jamesburg and was correctly set to RAW. But about two thirds of the photos I took were JPEGs, so I'll have to block out a few hours, sit down with Irfanview or some other editor, and try to fix things up. It doesn't much matter when I get it done, and the world won't come to an end, but it's pretty damned embarrassing.
    So there you have it. We all make mistakes.
