Raw photos lost?

Already had some photos imported from my camera (Canon T4i) in iphoto, I seem to have lost (?) 110 photos from yesterday.
The folder they were in is not showing them anymore. Photo stream doesn't help bring them back, in fact dropping them into a new album within iphoto only corrupts them to the point that they are completely black or heavily tinted green! Control-click and going to 'show in library' doesn't get me anywhere, just gets me to the Event where the photos were.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 didn't help.
Picasa didn't help.
Canon's Digital Photo Professional software seems to be the only place they appear uncorrupted.
- I just need to figure out how to get them back on my ipad.
All other JPG images and other RAW images seem to be ok.
Anyone come across this before? How did it get resolved?

Ok you go around the horn several times - can you describe what you were doing
I seem to have lost (?) 110 photos from yesterday.
The folder they were in is not showing them anymore.
What exactly are you saying here - in iPhoto folders do not contain photos, they contain albums or other folders - are you speaking of events?
Photo stream doesn't help bring them back,
What does that mean?  PS is a tool to move photos between Macs and IOS devices - it has no meaning on a single machine
You say the photos are missing then you say
in fact dropping them into a new album within iphoto only corrupts them to the point that they are completely black or heavily tinted green!
If they are missing how are  you "dropping them" anywhere?
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 didn't help.
What did you do using PSE? Is it set as the extrenal editor?
Picasa didn't help.
And what did you do using Picasa? Have you been using both iPhoto and Picasa on teh same photos in the iPhoto library? Is so that may be the problem - iPhoto and Picasa do not play well together and yoou should never access your iPhoto library or make any changes to it from other programs including PSE and Picasa - you need to use either iPhoto or Picasa - not both
Canon's Digital Photo Professional software seems to be the only place they appear uncorrupted.
Where are the images you are lookng at using Canon DPP?
- I just need to figure out how to get them back on my ipad.
Again this is confusing - moving from iPhoto to your iPad is done using PhotoStream or iTunes
So I am not at all clear on what you are seeing or what you are trying to accomplish - or if the photos are in your iPhoto library or not - or what you have been doing to the contents of you iPhoto library using outsideporgrams

  • Can't open NEF (Nikon Raw) photos in CS2

    Using CS2 on a Power Mac G5, running 10.5.8 with plenty of ram. Photos taken on a Nikon D700 in Raw format and transferred directly from camera to computer using Nikon Transfer. When I try to open a photo marked NEF in Photoshop's Bridge, I get a message that " Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file".
    Next, I downloaded Camera Raw 3.7 from Adobe's website and when I click on the icon in my applications folder, I get that same message : "Could not complete your request..."
    The only way I can view and work on my raw photos is to convert them to tiffs or jpegs in my Nikon View NX program; But I want to process them in the raw convertor.
    Help!!
    Bob S

    You'll need to covert the NEF to DNG to open in Camera Raw. CS2 will never support the D700.

  • Opening RAW photos in PSE 8

    I have recently bought PSE 8. When I had my Canon 350D I could use it to edit RAW photos. I have just bought a Canon 550D and PSE 8 cant open any RAW photos now for editing.

    I went to the Adobe site and from new downloads found the Camera
    Raw 5.7 update for windows. Here is link
    to the pdf instructions
    http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.7_ReadMe.pdf
    I created a new folder on desktop and moved the current Camera Raw.8bi file to that folder. then copied the new file in its place. opened elements and bingo it worked perfect.

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • Send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object"

    how to send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object" not a flat "image" so it does not flatten the image but so I still get all the adjustments i have made in lightroom to show up in photoshop?

    Select the image in Lightroom, choose 'Edit in' from Photo menu then choose 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop'. The file will transfer to Photohop (Ps) complete with Lr applied edits which can be refined in Camera Raw by double clicking on icon in the Ps Layers panel (see screen shot).

  • RAW photo into Photshop CS5 as a Smart Object.

    I am trying to open a RAW photo in Photohsop CS5 as a Smart Object.  I have the photo selected in Bridge.  When I go to execute File>Place in Bridge CS5 the menu entry indicates there should be a menu displayed.  However, clicking on Place does not bring up a menu. 
    In Photoshop there is open a blank file to receive the photo. 
    Why do I not receive a menu?

    Are you not seeing all the buttons?
    Normally I have ACR set to "Open Image" in Photoshop. By temporarily holding down the SHIFT key the "Open Image" button will change to "Open Object"
    This is what I did while creating this screenshot. There is also the tool tip showing up in the screenshot.

  • How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

    How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

    See if any of this info will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • 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

  • Editing raw photos in CS4 and returning to a specific event in Iphoto '09

    I wish to edit raw photos in CS4. I have set CS4 as my preferred editor in preferences. When I am finished editing in CS4, I wish to to return the edited photo to the same event from which it came. How do I do this without saving the photo to the desktop (or where ever) and then importing to Iphoto and then dragging to the appropriate event. Please be specific.

    I don't use CS4, but I may be able to help. I also shoot in RAW and use iPhoto and I use NX2 as my external editor. Here's how I do what you're asking about.
    (1) In iPhoto->Preferences: select send RAW to external editor.
    (2) In iPhoto->Preferences: select Capture NX2 as external editor.
    (3) Import all RAW photos into iPhoto.
    (4) Double click on a photo to send it to NX2. (iPhoto sends a link to the original RAW file in this step.)
    (5) Make any desired edits in NX2.
    (6) in NX2 select "save". This overwites the original RAW file in iPhoto's library.
    (7) in NX2 select "save as JPEG". Navigate to the iPhoto "modified" directory and overwrite the existing JPEG (The one that iPhoto made when it initially processed your RAW file). You should always get and overwrite warning at this point. It means your in the right place!
    All done. After this iPhoto automatically updates the corresponding thumbnail to match. At this point, you modified RAW file and it corresponding JPEG are both stored in iPhoto. I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't also work with CS4.
    If at any point you'd like to go back to the RAW file and edit it some more simply select "reprocess raw" or "revert to original" in iPhoto.
    In order to be able to navigate into the iPhoto library you first need to make an alias to it by right click and "create alias". Then just place this alias anywhere you like. Browse here in Step 7.
    This solution is not for everyone. If you mess up and save your JPEG in the wrong place you may get unexpected results from iPhoto because it's library is not supposed to be messed with by users. But if you are careful you will be fine. It all depends on how comfortable you are with computers. The choice and risk is up to you. I just wanted to make sure you knew a solution existed.

  • Problems viewing RAW photos properly in Photoshop/Lightroom/ACR

    Hey folks. New here and looking to find some assistance with a  problem I'm having in Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2 and Adobe Camera Raw  5.7 when attemtping to view RAW photos straight from my Canon 450D. My  computer is a Mac PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.8 with a single 1.8Ghz  CPU and 3.5Gb of RAM. Photoshop CS4 is version 11.0.2. Lightroom is  version 2.7. Adobe Camera Raw is version 5.7.
    What I am  having problems with is viewing RAW photos from my camera in all of  these applications. No problems are encountered with any other file type  such as PNG or jpg.
    I have attached a screen capture of  what I am seeing when I open a .CR2 RAW image in Camera RAW before  opening in Photoshop. As you can see, the software seems to be having a  difficult time rendering the photo properly. I can view these files on  other computers using the Canon software that came with my camera. I get  this same problem if I view the image in Lightroom.
    As  far as I know, I can't upgrade to PS CS5 or LR 3 because I am still  running on the PPC architecture, so I need to find how to fix this  without having to buy a Mac Pro and the newest software.
    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? If the screenshot is too small, I can provide the full-res version.

    I'm well-versed in forum ettiquette, thank you. I do, however, see no problem why posting about this problem once in each forum covering the software involved in my problem would be an issue. If I posted about the problem in only one forum, let's say in the Lightroom forum, and the problem was experience by another person who did not use Lightroom and would not be browsing the Lightroom forum for help, how would they have come across this post? Unless they also looked in the Photoshop forum, they might not have seen this post. So where's the harm in having it viewed by a greater number of individuals?
    With that aside, my problem is now resolved. After looking around a bit more on the forums here last night, I came across a thread started by a fellow who was experiencing the same issue as I, except he had newer versions of the software. Someone had replied to his post suggesting that it could have been faulty RAM modules and that they once experienced similar issues which were resovled by replacing the RAM. This was good news to me, since I had just purchased additional RAM for my Mac last week. It arrived today and I installed it and booted the Mac up. I purged any cache files used by these three software titles and then reattempted opening a RAW image in Photoshop. I took my latest RAW images from my camera, exported them to a USB thumb drive, and then from there exported them to my Mac. I tried to open on of the images in Photoshop and it opened successfully with ACR along with a complete and pristine preview of the image. Open the other RAW images in Lightroom, no problems.

  • Unable to preview raw photo on adobe bridge cs6 taken from Canon 6d

    Hi!  Hope you all can help me with this problem.  Some raw photos taken by the same camera (canon 6d)  on the same memory card can be previewed on adobe bridge but other raw photos cannot.  The setting for all of the photos are the same.  The photos that I can't preview shows a gray screen with CR2 icon.  Jpeg images can be previewed. 
    Your help is appreciated!

    Did you use a card reader for the download? 
    Are all the 300 files relatively the same size?
    Did you ues Tools/cache/purge and rebuild the folder cache?

  • Can't view Raw photos in CS

    I just installed upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and can't view my Raw files in Bridge or have access to Camera Raw as getting not right kind of document. I have no problems with my prior CS2 showing my Raw photos. Does any one know the fix to this.

    The download for the Windows version of Camera Raw 5.3 is a zip file. You'll need to unzip it to locate the 5.3 "Camera Raw.8bi" plug-in. Once you do that there should be an existing older plug-in located as per the instructions from Adobe:
    Manual installation on Windows:
    1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
    2. Open the download file, double-click CameraProfiles.exe, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    3. Open My Computer.
    4. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
    5. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
    Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats
    6. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
    7. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 5.
    8. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
    If you don't have the directory "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats" you either don't have a normal proper install or you've got some block to seeing the directory such as an admin issue. You need to be running under admin level to do this. It's also possible the the location is different because you have a different boot drive letter or you are running under a language other than English in which case you'll need to navigate to the proper location based on your language which I can't help you with.

  • ?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.

    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
