RAW photo files in Mavericks

Hello!
Since I've installed Mavericks I do have very long loadtimes for photo-files in Preview. While it was easy to browse through my pictures before it's now nearly impossible to work with. Does anybody have a solution for this problem?
While working Preview uses up to 700% of my CPU activity..
Thank you.

Make sure the color profile is sRGB before bringing in Muse, take a look at a similar thread here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1399746.
Thanks,

How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

Hello briggiebunny
If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

How can I move one years worth of Raw photo files to a different hard drive and perserve the edits

How can I move one years worth of raw photo files to a different hard drive (to manage space) and preserve the develope module edits and still see them in the Library module?

The easiest situation, is where this year's worth of images is grouped physically inside one parent folder (something many people build in from the start, in any case).
If there is a parent folder on disk, but you are not currently seeing that inside LR's Folders panel, you can make this visible to LR by right-clicking on one of the folders which live immediately inside that, and selecting "show parent folder". This gives you a single "handle" by which to manipulate the whole grouping.
Then it is just a matter of moving this parent folder. It's usually as simple as dragging it from one place to another inside LR's Folders panel, however this is a little more difficult when it's a question of another drive which does not yet appear there.
So an alternative method will likely prove more straightforward: physically move the whole year folder into the other drive using your operating system's Explorer/Finder. The folder (and subfolders, and all the contained images) will change with ? icons inside LR, and it all goes "offline". This is because LR's records of where everything is, are known not to currently work (the former location is now not available). But all the edits, thumbnails, keywords, collections etc are still in place because these things are still remembered in the Catalog - and the fullsize previews are still cached also.
Then right-click on the parent folder in LR's Folders (the top folder which shows a "?") and select Update Folder Location. Then browse to the other disk and identify where this folder is now to be found. LR updates all its records and the whole grouping carries on just as before, only using a new storage location for each image concerned.

Using photoshop elements 6.0 - converting raw photos files to dng, how/where do I add metadata?

Metadata can be added in Properties panel. select a file and hit Alt+Enter. It will open up Properties panel. You may drag drop tags on the media and do File > Write tags info to files to write tags in file metadata.

What's a good solution for cataloging DNG raw photo files for creative teams?

Does anyone know of a good solution for cataloging DNG raw photo files for creative teams? I'm looking for something that will extract previews as well as be searchable by category and keywords?

Trouble Downloading Raw photo files and JPEG photo files in CS5

PS CS5 will not download raw photo files and JPEG photo files. The software will not recognize these files coming from a Canon G12 camera. How can I remedy this situation?

It should recognize the jpg files, but witht the G12, you need to update your camera raw. I believe there is a version what will work with CS5 and the G12.

Support for RAW photo files under iOS8

I have an iPad Mini 2 which I've been using as a temporary back up of the JPEG and NEF raw files from my Nikon DSLR while I'm traveling. When I got home, I would always transfer the backup photos from the iPad to my Mac Pro. This worked flawlessly when I had iOS 7 installed on the iPad. However, it has stopped working now that I've (accidentally) upgraded my iPad to iOS 8.1.   I can still download my JPEG backup files from the iPad to the Mac, but the download of the raw files fails every time with a system error message. It fails whether I try to download the photos in iPhoto, Lightroom, or even Image Capture...the error message is always the same. From the size of the raw image file on the iPad (42 MB), I know it's not just a null/empty file of 0 MB in size. Has anyone else experienced this problem since upgrading to iOS 8 on their iPads? Can anyone sugge a fix for my problem? On the Mac Pro I'm running OS 10.9.5, Mavericks, not Yosemite.

Here's more information on this issue.
As an experiment, instead of loading my photo files onto my iPad Mini via Apple's camera kit (the memory card reader), I emailed myself two test files, one JPEG and one NEF. I opened the email msg on my iPad and saved both files to the iPad.   Both files showed up in the Photos app. I then brought up Image Capture on my Mac and used it to transfer the files over from the iPad. This worked perfectly and both the JPEG and the raw NEF copied over correctly to the Mac. What this suggests is that the problem is probably isolated and occurs only when the raw files are copied from the memory card using the Apple dongle.
I've been in touch with Apple Support and had two on-line chats with them so far. The issue has now been kicked over to the "engineers" (not sure exactly what that means). They are now aware of the problem but I received no other information.   It might help if you also contacted Apple Support to let them know more than one person is experiencing the same problem.

?unable to open raw photo file after downloading camera raw 7.4 update?

Can anyone help please.
I recently had my lap top wiped and have had to re load CS6. I have also downloaded the camera raw 7.4 update (I use a Nikon D7100 camera) The update downloads without any problems, I go through download, install and then finish, but I still am unable to open my raw photos. I get the following message... 'if you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest raw camera update installed'. I have no idea why it is doing this, or how to combat it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Gail

Hi Benjamin,
You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
Many many thanks! Cheers

Can apple tv2 show raw photo files

Using Apple tv2 in a windows 7 home network environment. Music files and photo files (both JPEG and RAW files) stored on Synology network disk.
Typically I shoot photos in Canon Camera Raw format and store. My wife shoots in JPEG format.
We are using the screensaver in apple tv to show our photos, and it's not obvious whether I need to convert the raw files over to jpeg in order for those photos to show on the slide show when apple tv is operating.
Can apple tv display raw format photo files?

Whatever iTunes does to populate the AppleTV2 with user photos I have no doubt it will not be sending the original images, only derivatives thereof - if Windows can natively decode these RAW files I suspect iTunes uses them 'As Shot' and then downscales to a lower quality compressed version to send to the AppleTV - if it did not do this AppleTV would not be able to hold many photos from modern cameras due to their resolution and file sizes which would particularly be an issue with RAW files.
AppleTV has 8GB of solid state memory - we don't know how much is available for photos and other tasks, but depending on the camera I doubt you'd get that many RAWs to it if it transferred them as is.
Bear in mind AppleTV 2 can only output 720p quality max which equates to a resolution of 1280x720 so having photos much larger than that (maybe add 50-100% to allow for zooms) is probably not going to help in terms of visual quality.
You might not want a set of redundant smaller JPGs just for AppleTV but they probably wouldn't that much space if you batch processed them to a suitable size.

Can Aperture V. 3.4.5 read Panasonic GH4 Raw Photo Files? Is problem using Vintaged MacBook Pro 8 years old?

Have vintaged MacBook Pro 15" running Mac OSX 10.7.5 but can't view downloaded GH4 Photos and all available software upgrades loaded?
My GH4 photos show in aperture running on my iMac 27 at home (2-3 years old)?
Anyway to get the Vintage Macbook Pro and Aperture 3.4.5 to view the GH4 photos/

That camera is not yet supported, see the list of currently available RAW support:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
It usually takes a few month after the release of a new camera for the RAW support to be available.
But even, when the RAW support will finally be released, it will probably require the latest version of MacOS X Mt. Lion or Mavericks - all recent RAW support has been released only for the newer versions of Aperture or iPhoto.
As a work-around, use the software that comes with the camera (SILKYPIX) to convert your RAW to a different lossless format (e.g. TIFF)
(Download SILKYPIX Developer Studio for Mac - RAW photo ...)

IDVD doesn't process AVCHD video and high definition RAW photo files

Hi everybody. I have a brand new Canon VIXIA HF S10 and 5D Mark II. I tried to make a movie out of video shot with the camcorder using iMovie and then I burned a DVD with iDVD. I also made a slide show out of RAW photos made by the 5D. And I encountered such a situation when the movies I made seem to be missing some frames. For instance people move discretely instead of smoothly as in the original video. As for the photos they come out not to be of high definition and don't fit to the whole TV screen. I mean if I burn the photos to a DVD in Jpeg they look perfect. I set all the setting to HD but still get poor quality.
Have anybody dealt with the same situation or I should try more professional soft like Cut pro or DVD pro?

IDVD can't process AVCHD. I use Toast to do that. Import your pictures or slides into IMovie and export them via Quicktime if you want 1920x1080 or via browser if you want 720P. Than you can us the browser in Toast to create a DVD in AVCHD. It will play in a blu ray player but NOT in Mac OSX. You will need to use Native Windows via Boot Camp and a Blu Ray player in your mac if you have one. Otherwise a Blu Ray player in you TV system should work.

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.

RAW photo files

I am ordering 5x7 prints through iphoto "share". After I alter the image and I crop in iphoto the next step is to resize in photoshopCS2 for correct size and resolution. What will the results be with a file that is 7"x10" or 1505 ppi high and 3000 ppi wide?
I would prefer no boarders.

WOW! You might be in the wrong forum but I think I can give a few hints...
I don't use any of the online services offerred through iPhoto/Apple, but I do use 2 different online services. First, you can send in an image with a resolution of, for example, 3072 x 2304, I have never had to adjust any resolution for any prints ranging from 2 x 3"s to 20 x 30" enlargement. You cannot send in an image of a resolution of 640 x 480 and expect to get a good 8 x 10" print. Almost every printer out there, can work with a large image file and print small photos. I always send in the largest possible resolution I can. There are exceptions, but these type of printers are not usually found in homes or even in photo processing stores. They are specialized printers...
It is important to crop your prints to the right contraints. Most online services will also 'auto adjust' every image your send unless you specify no auto adjust, this will be an available option at almost all online photo services. If you do not select 'no auto adjust' and you've already adjusted your images, the result is often dissapointing...

Can't import raw photo files to iPhoto from my new Canon S90

Just bought a new Canon point & shoot, the S90. It allows you to shoot raw, which I did. When I went to upload the image files to iPhoto, I got an error message -- files could not be imported; they may be an unrecognized file type.
I've uploaded raw files from my Canon 40D SLR to iPhoto successfully.
Why the error message with raw files from a new point/shoot?
Greg

RAW support is specific to each camera and until Canon gives Apple the specs and Apple sees enough demand to move that new RAW above the others
See this Aperture thread for a long discussion including several hopeful long term solutions to teh entire issue of each RW being different - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2267766&tstart=0

PS - it took about 10 seconds to fond a google thread indicating that Apple does not yet support the S90

I can't access raw photo files created with my Nikon D750?

the NEF files are not recognized by photoshop elements. I just upgraded from version 9 to version 13 thinking this would solve the problem... but still no luck in getting elements to recognize the files.

The nikon D750 isn't supported yet in the shipping version of camera raw, though the 8.7 camera raw plugin should be available soon.
In the meantime you could use 8.7 Release candidate dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 13 should then open.
(the 8.7 camera raw plugin on the following page won't work for pse 13, so you want the DNG Converter 8.7 Release Candidate)
