Raw & Jpeg import into LR3.3

Hi,
Just upgraded to LR3.3; I can now import RAW files from my Sony A33. I shot the images using the RAW & JPEG setting. The import was sucessful and the file extensions on the image shows ARW & JPEG. My question is, how can I access the images separately; the RAW and the JPEG. In IPhoto the images show up separately. I'm a newbie to LR; any help appreciated.

If you have "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos" checked in your preferences, LR will import ARW and JPEG completely seperately and you can access (and work on) both of them. But there won't be any automatic synchronization of metadata and such.
If you have this option not checked, the JPEGs are only imported as so called "Sidecar Files", which you cannot look at or access for development.

How do I delete the jpeg from raw+jpeg imported images?

Hi,
Back in the day, I shot lots of images using raw+jpeg and imported them into Lightroom. Now I realize those jpegs add no value and I'd like to recover the disk space that they're collectively occupying.
Is there a good way to:
1. Identify all images in a catalog which have raw+jpeg?
2. Remove just the jpeg for these images?
Thanks!

I'm very hesistant to take the chance on any 3rd party script.
Just so ya know, what the deletion feature in RawPlusJpeg does is ultra simple:
1. Identifies extraneous jpeg files.
2. Presents them for you to review.
3. Deletes the extraneous jpeg files, if you approve. (puts them in the recycle bin if possible).
It does nothing to the database nor anything else.
You sync folders with 'Treat JPEG files next to raw files separately' afterward, which is what sets the database right.
The only potential for trouble is the criteria for determining which jpegs are extraneous.
It has no direct access to the database, so what it does is check for jpegs with same base name as raw (which *must* be present in catalog, and on disk), that aren't in the catalog, which includes the jpegs associated with RAW+JPEG (imported as a unit), *and* any jpegs that were imported separately, but subsequently removed from the catalog, or had never been imported.
So, what it does will be the perfect thing to do, *if* you first synchronize folders (with 'Treat JPEG files next to raw files separately' checked) to pull any jpegs in to the catalog that were previously imported separately, but may have been inadvertently removed from the catalog (or had never been imported), before invoking the delete feature of the plugin.
Note: You must do that for any manual procedure too, or you will have the same problem, except in the manual case, you won't have the benefit of the plugin checking your work, and presenting the files to be deleted, before you commit.
It's your call, obviously, and to save Geoff the Kiwi from pointing this out: the plugin comes with no guarantee, warranty, or any other kind of tea.
Consider backing up catalog and photo files before doing this maintenance, whether manual, or plugin-assisted.
In my opinion, the plugin-assisted method is much safer than the manual method, which is the only reason it was written, *not* to save steps, although it does that too. For example, you can not, with the plugin, delete any jpegs that do not have a corresponding RAW in the catalog and on disk, period. - unless there is a bug of course, but there probably isn't , at least not one that would change the aforementioned assertion... - it wouldn't take much of a bug to cause it to barf, but it would take a big bug to cause it to delete files that weren't on the list, etc...
Seriously, I don't think you have to wait for Adobe on this one. I wouldn't (I didn't - my catalog is all clean now!...).
PS - there is *very* little recorded in the database about the jpeg sidecar - it's existence upon import (when "as a unit") - that's about it. Most of the funny business about updating that we were fumbling with above, stems from the software (and the person at the keyboard), *not* the database. Syncing folders with 'Treat JPEG files next to raw files separately' checked, once the jpeg sidecars have been cleaned up, *will* set the database straight!
Cheers,
Rob.

Raw+Jpeg import shows 2 files

I have run into an issue when importing photos from my IPad. When I am working from remote I import my images to my IPad using the connection kit and then import them when I return to work on them in Aperture. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.3.2, the files are no longer attached to each other and show as separate images. This is creating 2 images for every RAW+Jpeg file I import. Is there a way to get Aperture to join the two images back together? Is anyone else running into this issue?

Did you check your RAW+JPEG import setting? (see below) It sounds like yours was set to Both (Separate Originals). Set it to one of the first two to have them joined.
I don't know of a way to join them after import (nor separate them either).

Bug? Raw+Jpeg imports from an iPad mini

Hi Everyone
I've come across a very strange importing issue with iPhoto 9.6 (910.29). I'm always on the go so I use my iPad mini as photo storage until I gain access to a computer. I’d take my pictures on the camera and then I’ll plug the sd card to the iPad and copy everything that is on the card (via the Apple Lightning to SD card Camera reader).
I take pictures in (1) RAW only, (2) RAW+Jpeg and (3)Jpeg only.
When I import from the camera to the MacBook Pro directly via USB:
all the 3 formats are properly imported.
When I import from the iPad in iPhoto:
The pictures shot in (1) RAW only and (3)Jpeg only are imported properly
But when I import the (2) RAW+Jpeg ones, iPhoto will only import the Jpeg versions and will give me the error message "Unreadable file: The following files could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format" for the RAW versions of the same image.
Here is what I do not understand:
- The RAW format that my camera uses (.RW2 for Panasonic FZ1000) is supported so there shouldn't be any issue.
- (1) RAW only pictures are correctly imported
- all formats are correctly imported when importing directly from the camera.
It seems this bug only affects RAW+Jpeg imports from the iPad?
Has anyone come across this issue before and if so, is there a fix or workaround? It is not that much of an issue as the RAW only files can still be imported from the iPad but I find this issue very curious.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Not sure about the fix but the workaround is to not shoot Raw+Jpeg, which is pretty pointless anyway, as importing the Raw to iPhoto means it creates a Jepg preview, so you end up with Raw +Jpeg+Jepg...

Picture auto-rotation on import into LR3 ?

Hello !
When importing directly from a card into LR3, vertical pictures are displayed correctly in the library, but JPEGs are not rotated in the file system.
That's not too much of an issue if you edit with CS5, or export the pictures. In those cases they are handled appropriately.
However if you edit with something else (in my case Topaz's filters via Topaz Fusion Express), the pictures aren't rotated appropriately.
Context: W7x64, LR3, Cameras (EOS5D, G10) set to Auto-rotate "on"
Any idea about how to fix this?
Many thanks!
Jean-Paul

Ok - bear with me...
Workflow1: import pictures from camera, with Canon EOS Utility or Canon CameraWindow. Both of them activate ZoomBrowser.
Result: jpegs and raws stored in the file system.
View with Windows explorer, all thumbnails have correct orientation.
Edit with CS5 orientation is correct.
Workflow2: import pictures from card, with Adobe LR3.
Result: jpegs and raws stored in file system.
View with Windows explorer, vertical photos are not displayed correctly (not rotated).
View in LR3 library, orientation is correct.
Edit in CS5 (called from LR3) orientation is correct.
Edit in Topaz Fusion Express (called from LR3) orientation is not correct.
I moved from 1 to 2 because of Canon's inability to provide a driver for W7x64, and, more importantly, because of the workflow improvement with LR3. The incorrect orientation is of course not a showstopper, but an annoyance...
Thanks

JPEG import into After Effects 6.5/7 over Xsan

We are unable to import any type of .jpg file into After Effects over the Xsan file system. When attempting to do so we only receive a slew of bogus error messages and the files will not import, tiff files or other formats are fine. This issue plagued us back in Panther and we scratched the Xsan file system and went to plain apple share to get around this.
We went back to Xsan with Tiger because we were told the issue had been resolved, it hasn't been fixed, and now we're back to square one.
Being an effects department, all of our photo librarties are jpeg so we have to convert everything to tiff to get it to import into AE. Apple told us to contact Adobe and Adobe tells us to contact Apple. Has anyone else experinced this joy?
P.S. Has anyone had trouble importing .tga files into Photoshop CS2 over Xsan, we are also having this issue?
Xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Xsan 1.4
Xserve G5
Xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Xsan 1.4

I brought in an Xsan expert to set this system up and I do not know what block size he set, I will check with him. We are running Xsan 1.4 w/10.4.7 on all of the clients and servers and we still have this issue.
I am hoping the block size is the default but if it isn't at least that would be a good explanation. It took five days the last time to do this and I am not ready to do it all over again, especially when it cost so much to bring someone out to do it and they said that the issue has been resolved since previous versions of Xsan.

Image sequence of jpegs import into Premiere Pro CC 2014 out of sync!

Ever since I left CS6 to CC 2014, image sequences as jpeg files do not properly import into Premiere in sync anymore. I use Blender 3d to export render scenes as jpegs then convert them to h.264 mpeg4 video clips in Premiere. What happens is that the images upload into Premiere's project tab out of order, even though they are correctly ordered in my hard drive. Improper naming conventions are probably ruled out since their files extensions are _000 types, and I never had a problem importing sequences in CS6 anyways. Still image default duration is set to 1 in the general preferences. Does anyone know what is suggest? Thanks.

Good point, I am importing as separate jpegs each set to one frame, so it's not an image sequence as I thought.
My indeterminate media timebase and sequence are the same (29.97fps), though I have to say that even if they were different I don't see why that would be a problem.
Here is a screen shot of my images just after uploading them into the project tab, it is seen from first to last that file numbers appear out of order such as 066, 054, 072, 058...ect:
Is there anything else I could try?

RAW+JPEG Import Question

I switched from Windows/LR to Mac/Aperture last year and have a question about importing RAW and JPEG files.
My camera (Olympus EM5) finally has RAW support and I have been shooting RAW+JPEG. I got a preset that I like to apply to the RAW files during the import. But I don't want the preset applied to the JPEG files. What I have been doing is importing the RAW and JPEG separately.
Is there a way to import them all together and have the preset only applied to the RAW files on import? Thanks.

What import settings have you tried? What configuration do you want the library to have (Both RAW + JPGs as separate masters or only one of them as master?).
If you want the RAW as master try importing as Both (RAW as master) to see if the preset is only applied to the RAW.
If you want both as masters, that is you're importing Both (Separate masters) then I don;t believe it will be possible to restrict the preset to just the RAWs on import. But instead of importing the images in two separate batches it might be easier to import both and to apply the preset after import using Metadata->Batch Change. It would be easy to filter just the RAW images to apply the preset to.

Aperture Raw & Jpeg import Problem

I'm on the current Aperture and face the following situation: I have a memory card containing photos shot partly as jpeg-only and partly as jpeg&raw.
No problem one should think since Aperture has the option to only import either raw or jpeg if there are more than one format per photo. Unfortunately, that is not working. If you select raw only, which I do for the raw&jpeg photos, Aperture does not import Photos which only have a jpeg-version at all.
This is not consistent with the options name and at all renders the whole import options useless in my case.
Am I missing something or is Aperture having an issue here?

I shot raw and jpeg since I was on a trip through the US and my Macbook broke so I had to use my iPad to upload the photos to my blog. Unfortunately the iPad software (iPhoto etc.) does not allow to change the resolution and with that the filesize of the photos. Uploading of hundreds of photos of more than 2 mb over public wifis on campgrounds etc is simply not possible, so I used the following workaround: Set raw+minimum jpeg size as file format and upload the small jpegs to the blog while keeping the raw on the memory card for later use.
That's why I shot both raw and jpeg and why I have photos shot as jpeg or raw only (before the laptop crash) and both raw and jpeg (after the crash) on the same memory card.
I'm Aperture user from the the very first version (when it was like hundreds of Euros), and I sadly cannot say that I'm surprised of the lack of support for non-standard workflows.
Well, so be it. Thank you for your help!

RAW + JPEG Import Settings Confusion

I recently bought a new camera which allows me to shoot in RAW and RAW+JPEG mode. I have at present set it to the latter, partially to be safe, and also for allowing quick image loading when out and about and can quickly upload the JPEG files to my ipad.
But having just purchased Aperture 3, I am really confused over the RAW+Separate import brick's choices.
I really cannot work out which is the best option,
Both (Raw as Master),
Both (JPEG As Master),
Both (Separate Masters) or
Just RAW.
I have been reading a book called "Aperture 3 Portable Genius, but to be honest, it has only made things even more confusing!
Can someone please advise which are the best settings to use, and under what circumstances I would use the particular setting.
Thanks :-)

"best settings to use" is hard to answer, since it depends what kind of photography you're doing and how you like to work.
It might be useful to understand that if you import 'jpeg as master' aperture treats the jpeg/master pair as one entity. When you edit the photo in AP you'll be editing the jpeg. If you want to get to the RAW, you'll have to choose "Set Raw as Master". Vice-Versa if you import 'raw as master'.
If you import 'both (separate masters)' you'll see both jpeg and raw in AP as 2 separate files which can be edited separately. I've never actually used this option, so I could be wrong about that.
I guess the first thing to decide is which format you most want to work with in Aperture. If you only want to work with RAW in AP, then choose 'RAW files only'. In this scenario the only reason you're shooting raw+jpeg is for the quick upload to iPad.
Maybe it would help if I explain how/why I use pairs. I shoot a lot of architectural interiors and most of the time I work closely with an art director who needs to see what the shots are looking like as the session proceeds. I shoot raw+jpeg for this and send the jpegs to my laptop over wi-fi for review. This is the *only* reason I'm shooting pairs, as the tiny jpeg makes the journey so much quicker than the large raw and is of sufficient quality for the purpose. I have the camera set to produce the smallest jpeg possible for fastest transfer.
Back at base I'll import the raw files only. Even if I was using a higher resolution jpeg I'd still only import raw. For me it's what Aperture is all about, and unlike say... wedding photography, this type of shoot is low volume so there's no advantage in working with jpeg, and many advantages in working with raw.
Actually, I use another import option for pairs: 'matching Raw files only'. This is a huge timesaver. It means that during the shoot we can rate the photos (jpegs) as we go, and I'm only importing the raws that meet that rating. IE I don't have to import the entire shoot and try to remember which lighting set-up (for eg) the director liked best.
Hope that helps. Also, take a look under "more like this" upper right on this page. Some good stuff in there.

Why won't my RAW files import into LR4?

Hello all,
Something very strange is going on with LR4. I have been using LR since version 1 and never had this happen before. When I have an SD card filled with jpegs and RAW files from my Fuji X100 camera and try to import all of them into LR 4, ONLY the jpeg files get imported. None of the RAW files get moved into LR at all. I have to create a new folder, move all the RAW files so that they are alone, and do a second import. Why is this? Why cannot I import all at one time, not even thinking about the difference?
Seems absolutely stupid that my RAW files are being ignored.
Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.

treborsetag wrote:
Sorry, I assumed that you were shooting RAW + jpg. What I think you are now saying is that you have a shoot in which some of the files were shot in RAW and some in jpg? In that case, I don't know why it would only import RAW on the first go round and jpgs on the second. When I have mixed files (I shoot only RAW, but panoramas are by definition only jpgs), they all import on the first try. In fact, even video files come in at the same time.
If you did shot RAW+Jpg then you could either check the box, in which case you will see two files, or uncheck it, in which case you will see one (with the other hidden). But since that's not the case, that check box doesn't apply to you.
Right. Most of my shots are jpegs. But on rare occasions, I want a RAW file so I hit the RAW button on the X100 and then shoot RAW for one shot. This last import I had 10-15 RAW shots and they would not import along with all the jepgs. This happens everytime I have mixed file formats. Very frustrating.
Thanks for trying!

HT1229 Location of Raw files imported into iPhoto

I have imported some raw files into iPhoto but I cannot locate them in finder. I want to import them into another machine. I can find all other photos but nothing recently

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

As RAW images import into LR I watch as they post but then they seem to update and darken. Help!

I'm shooting in RAW on a Sony a900 and the images look fine on the back of the camera. When I import the raw images to LR, as I watch them come in they look fine, but once all of them get into the library I watch as something seems to update and darken all of them. I have the imports set as default settings. It's taking a lot more time for post-processing and driving me crazy. Anyone got some insight on a setting to change to fix it?
Thanks!

Panasonic LX5 RAW not importing into iPhoto 09

I cannot import RAW photos taken with my Panasonic LX5. I assume that they are not supported yet. If i upgrade to iPhoto '11, will it support panasonic LX5 RAW?
When I search iPhoto help to see what camera's RAW files are compatible with iPhoto, I am redirected to Aperture 3's RAW compatibility listing. The help page says that the compatibility is the same for both Aperture and iPhoto and that listing says that Panasonic's LX5 is supported; however, there is a footnote that says Aperture 3 is required. Based on the fact that my RAW files won't open in iPhoto 09, it seems that the compatibility is not the same for iPhoto and Aperture.
I would much rather continue using iPhoto; so before I upgrade to iPhoto 11 or purchase Aperture 3, I would like to get a straight answer about iPhoto 11 supporting LX5's RAW.

It can't be done anywhere if you shoot Raw.
The workflow in your camera is as follows
Step 1: Take the shot - this creates the Raw. The Raw is the data from the camera sensor and by definition this has no processing done on it.
Step 2: Process the Raw using the settings you have chosen and save it. That's saved as a Jpeg.
The Raw is what happens before processing. After processing it's not a Raw anymore.
The point of shooting Raw is that you decide what - and how - the effects are applied to the data, not the Camera. If you want the camera to do it, why are you shooting Raw?

Jpeg import into fcp

Hello,
I have to import jpeg into Final Cut Projects and I would like to understand globally what to consider. Is there any tutorial?
One project is 1920 x 1080 Pro Res
The other 720 x 576 Pro Rex
My graphic designer offers me jpegs in 300 dpi.
What to tell him to get the best jpeg for my project? I want to add some motions, too (in Final Cut, not Motion)
Thanks a lot,
Paula

It depends on the aspect ratio you are going to use in your project. If you are using DV NTSC 4:3 you should use 720 x 540 (no moves) or 1800 x 1350 (for moves). If you are using DV NTSC 16:9 then use 853 x 480 (no moves) or 2133 x 1200 (for moves). In additon, I would convert my JPEGS to TIFF or PNG as well as create the above image sizes using Aperture or Photoshop. As for the tutorial, I would take a look at what Lynda.com has to offer. For my money, there is no better site that offers that quick lesson which will get you started right away with what you want. There is a cost but I believe it is worth the charge. There are any number of tutorials on YouTube for FCP which will help you with image size and FCP as well. Hope this helps.
