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.

Suddenly, when I attempt to edit a RAW photo in iPhoto it turns a dark shade of green and won't allow me to adjust exposure.

I have an iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and running OS X version 10.9.5. I have iPhoto 9.5.1.
Suddenly, when I attempt to edit a RAW photo in iPhoto, it turns a green shade and won't let me adjust exposure. I can view the pictures in the events page just fine. However, I'm noticing that when the RAW pictures turn that green shade they tend to stay green regardless of when I'm in edit mode or not. Please help.

Did you install RAW update 5.07 recently? Mine was installed 9/18 - look under updates in the App store.
As to TM I suggest you not mess with its backups - it manages them and makes space as required - it builds a complex set of data so it can restore any file at any time for as long as possible - if you mess with its data you may cause problems for future restores - see Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
If your backup drive fills up
As your backup drive begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones. It also alerts you if the "Notify after old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences.

Transferring RAW photos to Iphoto

I know this has been asked a lot before, but there's an ocean of variations of answers out there. I can't make any sense out of it so I'm hoping somebody can give me a fundamental answer without overwhelming me with hi-tech stuff.
I have a Canon EOS Rebel T2i. It comes with their software for downloading and importing the photos but it won't send them to Iphoto. I tried to download the photos using Iphoto. I noticed they preview them first. However, these photos are very large files (RAW in camera). I tested one photo in a transfer to Iphoto and it is a .jpeg but it is 5.5MB too. That seems too large to store in Iphoto, and if I download all 250 photos I will surely fiill my HD space on my computer.
Isn't there a simple way to download these pictures as smaller files to Iphoto? Or do I have to download a few at a time and resize them one by one? If that is the case, then some "hi-tech" thinker out there is not so bright. I just want to download my family photos to Iphoto and share them but 5.5mb is too big to send out.

When iPhoto imports a RAW file it creates a JPEG preview file for iPhoto to use to display in thumbnails, slideshows, etc. RAW files are just sensor dumps from the camera's image sensor and need to be processed before they can be viewed. That's what the preview files are for. When you edit a RAW file the edit must be saved as a new, jpeg or tiff file leaving the RAW file untouched.
To reduce the file size for sharing export the files out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind = JPEG. The file size is determined by the Quality setting (i.e. JPEG compression). Large is usually only a big smaller than the original file. Medium is about 40% smaller. I'm referring to the file size here and not the image size. The image size will remain the same size in pixels as the original.
If you want to reduce the pixel dimension of the exported photos set the Size option to the maximum dimension (width or length) you want.

Can I edit Nikon D5100 RAW photos in iPhoto '09?

I recently shot photos for an event with my Nikon D5100, using the RAW + jpeg setting. I uploaded my photos into an iPhoto event, and both the RAW and jpeg photos appeared in the event. I have read that iPhoto '09 supports lossless RAW file editing, so I selected one of the RAW photos and attempted to edit it. iPhoto entered the edit window, but the image appeared blurry and all of the editing tools were grayed out. Photo editing works fine with the jpeg files in my event. Also, when I double click one of the RAW images it opens it as a gray exclamation point icon.
More information: I am running OS X 10.6.8, and iPhoto 8.1.2. The page at the below link indicates that the D5100 is supported in 10.6.8, without mention of a specific RAW Compatibility update that must accompany the OS. I am assuming that since iPhoto '11 requires OS X 10.7.5 or later this information applies to my use of iPhoto '09, though any RAW compatibility updates on the Apple site for download are either only for iPhoto '11 or already installed on my computer.
Any insights on what may be going wrong? Thanks.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825

I believe that the 5100 will work on iPhoot 09 and 10.6.8 and these issues:
I selected one of the RAW photos and attempted to edit it. iPhoto entered the edit window, but the image appeared blurry and all of the editing tools were grayed out. Photo editing works fine with the jpeg files in my event. Also, when I double click one of the RAW images it opens it as a gray exclamation point icon.
are due to the fact that iPhoto cannot find the Raw file - that's what the ! means.
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.

RAW photos in iPhoto?

Will iPhoto store raw photos shot from a Canon or Nikon camera?
Thanks.

No - and they can be exported later if you want them: File -> Export and set the Kind to Original
No - It does make a Jpeg preview on import, that's all. When you process the Raw this preview is updated in lght of your changes.
No - you can process the files in iPhoto or any other app you choose.

Corrupted RAW photos in iPhoto 9.6 (Yosemite) from Nikon D800

Since upgrading to Yosemite (OS 10.10.1) and iPhoto 9.6, all my RAW photos imported into iPhoto from my Nikon D800 appear to be corrupted.
The thumbnails contain pixellated boxes over the image. It appears that if I go into Edit mode within iPhoto and adjust anything (such as Enhance, etc), the pixellated box goes away and the image is restored. That's one way to fix the problem, but in researching I see that others have fixed the problem by removing the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle from the System Library and downloading a newer version (OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support)
The problem is -- the latest RAW Compatibility Update version for Yosemite 6.02 appears to be the one I currently am using (in my System Folder).
In that same article referenced above, my Nikon D800 is listed in an earlier version simply titled "Supported by Yosemite 10.10".
Could it be that the RAWCamera.bundle 6.02 is causing my problem and I need to go back to an earlier version?
If so, how do I do that? The upgrade to Yosemite and the subsequent upgrade to its compatible iPhoto 9.6 was done at the same time - no backup in between.

You could try to downgrade to RAW support 6.01. It helped for the same camera in this case:
Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

How can I transfer RAW photos from iphoto to a separate folder. I want to send RAW photos to someone to process.

Hello I use iphoto as my place of storage of my photos.
I want to take some of my RAW photos out of iphoto and plac e them in a different folder to " send" to someone who wants to " edit".
I am not the one who will process the RAW i just want to get the RAW to the person that needs them. But my RAW are in iphoto
It seems that if i just drag a RAW picture from iphoto to dektop it does not retain its RAW size.
please advise
I just want to be able to send RAW photos that i have in iphoto to someone who will edit them.

Where are my raw photos and how do I get to them (if anyone knows please explain in very simple terms).
File -> New Smart Folder
Photo -> is -> Raw
will find all your Raws.
As described above, exporting with the Kind set to Original will get them to the Finder.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto? I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5. I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it. If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera. Thanks in advance.

The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

Importing RAW photos into iPhoto 6

I recently upgraded to iLife '06 for the sole purpose of working with RAW photos. I kept getting error message "Unreadable file(s)", so I thought i'd upgrade to OS 10.4.5. Still I receive the same error message. I can click on the file and see it's profile and a thumbnail by using "Get Info", but I cannot import the RAW files into iPhoto 6 at all. Online and phone tech support keeps telling me to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as it may have something to do with deleted RAW photo in the Library. Well, I even tried to import these same RAW photos on a friend's brand-spankin'-new G5, which only had 10 photos in his Library and no deleted photo at all, but sadly this was to no avail. The same error message comes up when trying to import.
Background; the camera used is supported by iPhoto 6 (Nikon e5700), and the files are not corrupted as far as i can tell. I was able to import jpegs from the same camera card at the same time I attempted to import the RAW pix.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Solved: This response has solved my problem completely.
Actually, only Apple's engineering staff can solve my issue, but you answered the question as completely as possible. All that time on the phone and on the chat support and no one could give me that straight answer. Sad to think I upgraded iLife and my OS for the sole purpose of reading RAW photos from a camera they claimed to have supported on their own website. Someone at Apple better get on the stick.

I have downloaded RAW photos into IPhoto but they show up as JPEG, please help

Why do my RAW photos show up as JPEG when I download to IPhoto 11?

Betty,
do you have a camera with supported raw format? What is your MacOS X version?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5371
And where exactly do you see your raw files as jpeg? When exporting? After editing?

Can we import RAW photos into iphoto?

My brother-in-law has many photos from past reunions that are in RAW format. Can we import these into iphoto and have it work? I really want the photos but he thinks it won't work.
What are the steps? He says the file sizes are very large

That's not enough.
The Raw format of each camera model - not make, model - is different. So the Raw of the Nikon D40 is not the same as the Raw from a D60, which is different from the D80 and so on.
But hey, have you tried plugging it in and seeing if it will import?
Regards

Corrupted RAW photos in iPhoto 9.6 (Yosemite) from Canon 60D

Early 2008 iMac, 4GB RAM, Yosemite 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.56 (910.29), Canon 60D. Downloaded images/thumbnails from camera via cable, card reader or backup hard drive are partially to fully blacked out in iPhoto. This does not happen with cable down load to MacAir or on iMac with older Canon camera. Have formatted and changed memory card in camera, reinstalled Yosemite and iPhoto to no avail. I need iPhoto to work seamlessly with my camera the way it used to or find an alternative. No work arounds, please. I can do that. I'd like my system and software to work the way it's supposed to work. Thank you.

Which version of the RAW support do you have installed?
If the problem directly started after installing the latest RAW support, try reinstall the RAW support by downloading it from Apple's download page.
That helped in similar cases, e.g.: Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:

I can read NEF and RAW photos in iPhoto but not Aperature. What's up ?

How do I read and print NEF and RAW files ? Aperature is saying that the file format is incorrect but iPhoto reads them fine.

What is your Aperture version, Mac OS X Version, and your camera model?
The raw support is specific for each camara, and it will depend on you Aperture version, if the raw support is available.
See this list for the raw formats, that are supported in Aperture.
Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
Is your iPhoto version newer than your Aperture version? If both versions are current, they should be able to read the same raw formats.

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.
