Saving only PNG in Lightroom 4

Hello,
I finally have the plans on how I am going to manage my images, but I am curious why Lightroom saves both JPG and DNG after it imports them.
My camera(Canon 7D) is configured to save both JPG and CR2.  When I import them, in the import window, I do not see duplicate photos, just the CR2 files.  After the import is complete, I still only see one type of files imported, the DNG files and I do not see duplicate image with JPG extension.  However, when I browsed to the import folder, I see both JPG and DNG.
How do I properly import the CR2 files only?  Only ovbious way is for me to remove JPG files from the card before I import CR2 files into Lightroom, but that doesn't sound right... To me, it seems like there might be a configuration somewhere.  Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thank you
Daniel

Cornelia,
You are correct.  I still want the CR2 + JPG option turned on on the camera.
When I import the photos, and select Convert CR2 to DNG, I just want the DNG to be stored on the storage, not DNG "AND" JPG. ", for the reasons Mandhir mentioned.  I can get export the jpegs out from DNG lossless.
When I read you post I swore I thought that was the answer.
I looked at the option you just mentioned, under Lightroom Preferences - General tab - Import Options - Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos.
It was unticked already...  back to the drawing board..
It's got to be something simple like unticking something.....
Thank you all for helping me, by the way.
Daniel

    HSL images can only be saved in the AIPD format. Please see the IMAQ Vision Concepts Manual or the LabVIEW help page for IMAQ Write File for more details. To save the image to another file format, you could convert it to RGB and then convert back to HSL when you are going to use the image later.

  • Pshop CC -- saving JPG & PNG file size bloat

    Saving JPGs & PNGs from Photoshop CC is creating what I can only describe as a obscene file bloat.  Just recently, what should have been a 7k jpg saved as a 1.1 mb jpg file.  PNGs which should average roughly 100-150k are coming out at 1.3mb.  If I use the "Save for Web", sometimes it gives me the proper sized images.
    I have noticed this on 2 computers --- one a mac & one windows with completely different file sets.  So it is not an issue of my OS, the original files or anything specific to one particular common item.
    FYI -- Doing the same thing with pshop cs6, I get the proper file sizes. 
    I have included a sample image here.  This image is a straight out "save" from pshop CC  -- it is 1.1mb.  However, when I saved the same image as a JPG in pshop cs6, it was 7k.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Haven't had a PNG or JPG go wacky here in that way so far...
    I think the issue is revealed by looking in File - File Info in the Raw Data section.  I don't know why, but there are a huge number of <rdf:li> XML elements showing up there with hex values in them.  I don't know what that means, exactly, but I believe the accumulation of that metadata explains the size increase.
    Do any of the terms you see in the raw metadata mean anything to you?  Do you have 3rd party plug-ins that could be responsible for this?

    Hi Karen
    You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
    If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.

  • Script for saving/replacing .png´s

    For Photoshop CS5:
    Hi,
    I need a script, which allows me to take the .png file i am working on, and save and replace it in the existing location with the exact same name:
    Without creating the "copy.png" string and preferebly without have to choose "Interlaced" or "None".
    That would be a huge time saver!

    What kind of png – png8 or png24?
    Save for Web or Save as?
    I suppose one might be able to get that information from the file, but it would be easier if one could omit that and just assume one kind of saving process for all files.
    And if you do Layers stuff that can not be saved as png you would nonetheless be asked whether to save the layered file on closing, I guess.

  • Saving a .PNG in Photoshop CS6

    by the way in PS how do we save something as a .png file these days? it is not listed in the save as options anymore?
    Kind Regards
    David Fellows

    David,
    Check your Save As... dialog box again. You should have an option for PNG in the file type drop-down menu.
    Additionally, you can choose File > Save for Web and you will have an option for saving a PNG!
    I hope this helps you out!

  • Since updating to FF4 my bookmarks have dissappeared from the sidebar. When going to 'Show all bookmarks' there is only a recent one! However they are all listed in the dropdown. Saving only save the single one. Restoring a saved file makes no difference.

    On the previous version of FF the All-in-One side bar showed my Bookmarks OK. Upgrading to FF4 has lost them all, except a recent one, from the sidebar. However they are available from the drop-down via the Firefox button at top left. Then when I go to 'show all bookmarks' the only one shown is the recent one. Saving the bookmarks results in that single one being saved only! Deleting all the bookmarks and re-installing a backup results in the same happening, they list ok on the dropdown but not in the side bar. Any ideas?

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • RFx: Function Module to get unpublished (saved only) items

    Hi there,
    Can anyone please help me out?
    I am looking for a FM in SAP SRM to get not only the published items on a RFx, but also the newly added Items that were only saved.
    If I use FM:    BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL,   I get all items on a published RFx.
    But when I add a new Item, It is not in the E_ITEM  output-structure until the RFx is published again.
    Is there a FM in SAP SRM that also outputs the non-published items (saved only)?
    This must be quit a common requirement I think, but I cannot find it out myself.
    Thank you!!
    Regards, Walter.

    Hi Robin,
    Thank you, that is helping me!
    I am using the Object-ID (5700000xxx) as input for  BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL.
    In the result I see structure E_VERSION with 5 entrie. So from this E_VERSION list I have to find the latest/newest entry or the ChangeVersion.
    Thanx again!

  • Help! When in "graphic watermark" setting, how do I remove white box around my watermark? Already saved in PNG

    I'm trying to upload a saved graphic watermark to my photos in Lightroom 4 but no matter what I do, I can't get the white box around the watermark to go away. I've already tried saving the watermark file in PNG like other sites suggested but it does no good. Other sites tell me I need to save the watermark in another version of adobe and check the box "transparent" but Lightroom is the only version of adobe I have. Any help ASAP would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I have also been trying to solve the same problem.  Where does one take an already created watermark and make it transparent?  I have Photoshop on my old Mac and e-mailed my solid white background watermark to myself, opened it in Photoshop and "erased" the white background.  Transfered it back to my Lightroom on my MacBookPro and exported the test photo w/ the "erased" background watermark.  I had no idea if it would work….it did not.  OR : How does one create a transparent watermark?  I have a graphic I want to use w/ my name.   Please HELP!!!

  • Apple PLEASE Read This!  When using Grab, why does Saving only allow ONE Format...Tiff?

    It would be nice for Apple's Grab program to offer multiple formats for saving.  I understand why they offer only Tiff but when I have a problem and I need to grab part of the screen or even the whole window, most Discussions require jpg or png formats.  It takes too much time to save in Tiff, go to the save file location and open the file using Preview, and then saving the file in another format that I need for my own purpose.  WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME!
    I could use the Print option and first I may need to use Scale  to fit the image on one sheet in stead of 4-6 pages (can be 25% scale for a one page screen save), and then open the PDF drop down button, choose "Open PDF in Preview", preview the image, and if it looks ok, I save as a PDF file.  I could then open the PDF file in Preview and save the image in another format depending on my need.  WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME!
    I am surprised that, in a Search of the forums, no one has brought this up.
    Apple save us a bunch of time and give us other save formats!  PLEASE!
    Others please chime in and maybe Apple will get the message.

    Keep in mind that many (if not most) non-techies will never memorize (let alone use) a 3-key sequence when they have a handy-dandy utility that makes so much sense to them.  Grab does fill a very useful gap for the vast majority of Mac users - why make it so unfriendly in this regard?
    Wow, you should re-think that one. I think the opposite to be true.
    And, if you use a free 3rd party app, i.e. TinkerTool, you can not only change the file format for screen capture, but also the default location for the files.
    I think that most people think of Grab as dinosaur software.

  • Saving same png file gives me image with 10x smaller size

    Hi.
    I would appriciate if someone explained me what I'm doing wrong.
    I have a png image, of 256x128 size. It has 8bits per pixel for color. Now this image's size is 97kB. I open it in photoshop, I save it as different png file, and then... this image is 7kB of size.
    Can someone tell me what's wrong, or what I'm doing wrong?
    Lucas

    Ok guys, thanks a lot for patience. Below is the main cause why I started this topic, but I still can't figure it out. I thought the loss of size is the cause, but you say it's not :/
    I'm not that skilled as you guys, so that's the primary reason why I'm here. I will be really gratefull if someone could give me a hint here, or some small help.
    To cut to the chase, I'm trying to use a program that creates graphics for older games. This program edits particular files, that have different resolutions and different number of bits per pixel. The problem I have however is the transparency and color palette, as I never had dealings with that. The problem is, that someone created before a pictures that are very smooth, and this seems to be the cause of very smart using of transparency levels, for different colors in the palete. However, I have no idea how to achieve the same effect, I tried many things, but still can't figure this out. I will try to ilustrate the problem below.
    Below is a screenshot from this application
    [img]http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5396/41135434.png[/img]
    On the right is the picture that is the root of my question here. It has to be in the format with palette of collors in amount of 16, although I have no idea where it stores the alpha channel information, as there are 4 bits for color per pixel. Well anyways, you can see on the right top corner the palette. It basicaly has only the shades of gray in this case. I can switch now to the alpha channel mask, and this is what I get:
    [img]http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4089/69176653.png/img]
    You can see that each of the colors in the palette has different alpha values. Now what I tried is, I exported the image, I opened it with photoshop, saved it, imported it in the program, and guess what I found in the alpha channel mask:
    [img]http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/7104/51957014.png[/img]
    All the information of the alpha channel for each color is gone!
    Here are the examples with more colors(256):
    [img]http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/2108/84834785.png[/img]
    The alpha channel mask
    [img]http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/4944/25526459.png[/img]
    And now, I do the same as before, export it, save it in photoshop, and guess what, all the info is gone again:
    [img]http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8991/50003321.png[/img]
    Now loosing this information is not a problem, as I will be inputting different pictures, but my question is, how I can achieve the same effect in photoshop for my images that I will try to import. I would love to have as smooth edges as they are seen on those examples above.

  • I don't want to import PHOTOS. I want to get only one into Lightroom for temporary work. How do I do this. (the photo is now in Photoshop Elements).

    Don't want to import all photos from my camera or anywhere else. I only want to work on one image then put it back into Elements. Please tell me how to do this and I would appreciate a detailed answer. Please do not be vague.

    Lightroom is not a file browser, It isn't anything like the organizer in Photoshop Elements. Lightroom uses a catalog, which is a database. That database keeps track of the location of images that have been imported, as well as all of the adjustments that you make to those images using Lightroom. The import process is a process of showing Lightroom where the images are located on your computer. You can't just open an image in Lightroom, make changes and then close it. Lightroom doesn't make changes to the original image. Your images are left in their pristine state. All the changes are stored in the catalog. And when it comes time to share an image that has been adjusted in Lightroom you need to export a copy that includes all of those changes. It's a different workflow, and one that you need to become accustomed to. I suggest that you watch a series of short tutorials that will help you understand more completely how Lightroom works.
