RAW on iPad

I understand iPad won't let you view RAW (NEF) images, but can you still load them to iPad when you're out shooting and download to your computer when you get home?

Yes, the iPad can't display raw-only image files but it does import them from a camera/SD card. I think there may be some apps that can display them on the iPad. The description of piRAWnha says it displays RAW files.

  • Workflow of ipad 1 with camera connection kit

    Hi, I am very new to ipad and wonder the following is possible:
    I know ipad can view photos in memory cards with camera connection kit (CCK), but can I view the photo and delete it straight away from my ipad without copying all the photos into my ipad? I shoot raw, will this make a difference?
    The answer will be very helpful as I am deciding whehter I should get a CCK.
    Thank You

    if shooting raw, 16G iPad wouldonly store 5xx photos if shooting in raw and leaving at least half of thecapacity for apps & videos... which is useful but not quite helpful, that'swhy I want it to work like a bigger screen instead of the 2.5".
    Besides, Idon't have that many backup at home and some are very obvious can be deletedthrough big screen (e.g. out of focus) but not the small one (the crappy screen in 40D will notlet you recognize any out of focus photo..)

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • How can I import only jpeg and not jpeg plus RAW into Photos on iPad?

    I capture both on my camera.  I do post-shoot processing on computer (Lightroom/Photoshop) but want to see larger previews on iPad (the "new" version with retina display) than my camera LCD allows.  I am using the Apple hadware adaptor to load from an SD card.  The RAW files are taking up way too much memory on the iPad--it seems Photos imports both files at once.  I can't figure our how to tell it to import only the smaller JPEG files.
    If there is a better App than Photos for this, please advise.  Note I will not be doing any serious editing on the iPad.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    It doesn't matter what App you use it will copy all the photos from the SD card.
    But I have a workaround;
    All you do is import your JPEG+RAW images using the camera connection kit.
    Go to Albums in the Photo App, choose Change, Choose New Album, give name, choose Last import, choose Select all photos, choose Finish.
    Now go back into the photos app and delete all the photos from your "Last import" Album. It will say that it is going to delete them everywhere but really it doesnt because it leaves the JPEG in the new album. The result is that you will only have your JPEGs that you imported in your camera roll and the RAW images get deleted.
    First try out before you delete photos from SD card!

  • My D800 SD card is not recognized by my new IPad. I have the lightning connector and tried but RAW and small Jpeg files...nothing!! Why not?

    Cant use my IPad lightning connector for SD card with D800 even though I have tried RAW and increasingly smaller files with JPEG. Nothing works...HOw can that be that the files are recognized on a Mac but worthless for using an IPad??

  • 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.

    How do I import RAW photos from canon 7d to my new iPad 4?

    Use the Apple Camera connection Kit and connect your camera directly to the iPad. Turn on the camera and you'll get an option to import.

  • Please Please Please:let me rating my raw files in the iPad and then sync with LR.

    Please Please Please:let me rating my raw files in the iPad and then sync with LR.

    definitely the battery wont be the problem.
    The important thing is that the IPAD already can see the RAW files;)
    would be very useful to make the rating in it.
    have the option of cataloging all the pictures of a event 
    anywhere !!!! even in standing up position
    hope I explained correctly (English is not my primary language)

  • What happens to Raw files when importing Raw+JPG from camera to Lightroom Mobile on iPad? Only JPGs are showing up.

    Hey I am Brian, and I was wondering how Lightroom mobile works again as in when importing photos directly into iPad using the camera connection kit.? This is for IPad 2.  I . Like when importing raw files. now I just did a photo shoot. and I just uploaded them into lightroom 5 on desktop. the raw files are being pushed as smart priviews acroos ipad and iphone. its kinda cool seeing cr2 file showing up on lightroom mobile. when its coming from lightroom 5. but what about coming from camera to ipad.?
    I thought you can import a Raw plus jpeg into ipad and it shows up as a jpeg plus raw file. well its not doing that. shows up as just jpeg.
    cant wait for next update  of lighroom mobile.

    With this version of LR Mobile we not support the direct RAW import.

  • Fuji raw files from iPad Camera Roll to Lightroom Mobile

    I can not transfer Fuji XE2 Raw files from my iPad Camera Roll into  Lightroom Mobile. They will transfer from Lightroom 5.4 into mobile and can be edited which proves mobile can handle them. However not a lot of good for location use!
    Does anyone else have this issue? Is there another way of transferring files within the iPad other than from camera roll?

    Thanks for the quick response, although disappointing to hear. Surely that rather defeats the object!
    Once you have them on your regular computer why would you then want to transfer and edit them on an iPad? I'm off on a weeks holiday and want to work on them while away.
    There are other iPad apps that can import raw files but as I already use Lightroom I was hoping to use their mobile app.
    What a let down!!

  • HT5182 If I have made edits, how do I get my raw file off of the iPad?

    This article explains how to get the RAW version of unedited photos off of the iPad, but how to I get the RAW version of edited photos? This makes iPhoto and a workflow that includes iPad seem a little silly if I can't get the RAW version out of the iPad....
    Thoughts?

  • RAW images onto iPad?

    I'm about to purchase an iPad for an upcoming vacation and wonder if I can download RAW images?
    And if I can do so, what applications do you suggest to process RAW?
    Thanks in advance.

    Be careful here.  I've researched this quite a bit and concluded the iPad is not the ideal device for storing or editing RAW images.  It's too much of a closed system, and the 64 GB of memory is not enough for storing large amounts of RAW files.
    That said, tthe iPad will show the JPG embedded in the RAW file, but not the RAW file itself.  I've downloaded images from my Canon S95 shot in RAW mode, and they display fine.  I did not attempt to process them.  However, there is an app called "piRAWnha" that can process RAW to some extent, but it gets mixed reviews.
    Are you copying your RAW images from an SD card or CF card?  Apple's Camera Connection Kit works fine with SD cards, but obviously cannot handle CF cards.  MIC makes a CF card reader for the iPad, but it's gotten mixed reviews too.
    http://www.padgadget.com/2011/03/26/mic-gadgets-compactflash-card-reader-for-ipa d-photographers/
    Connecting a CF reader to the iPad using the USB connector in the Camera Connection Kit has been a mixed bag.  The problem is that the iPad only works with low power devices such as SD cards.  A USB card reader takes too much power and may not be recognized by the device.
    Think about this carefully before you attempt to use the iPad as a storage and editing device.  IMHO, if you shoot JPG on an SD card and don't care about heavy editing, the iPad can be a good tool.  However, if you are a serious photographer looking for a backup device for RAW images shot on CF, the iPad isn't it.  Better to get an 11 inch MacBook Air with a backup drive instead.
