Saving RAW images - uncheck AdobeRGB - saved as JPEG?

my default process is Adobe RGB. If I save a RAW image (Nikon D200) as a jpeg after adjustments in PS5.5, and I uncheck the "save as Adobe RGB" box, will the image be saved as an sRGB jpeg?

No.  That will just save an untagged image that's almost certain to be misinterpreted when viewed.
You probably want to Edit - Convert to Profile:  sRGB IEC61966-2.1 then Save As your image with an embedded profile.  Or use Save for Web and specify the conversion to sRGB there.
But that's not necessarily always the best answer.  Who is going to see these images?  Are they going online?

  • RAW images losing saturation while my JPegs keep the saturation

    i had a PC and now a brand new IMac 4K 27 inch computer. Both computers are showing the same issue. When i shoot in RAW format when i go to look at them in lightroom or a basic PC windows viewer the pic uploads in normal color and then turns to a gray tone. This only happens with RAW pics which lose the saturation and jPegs hold the saturation. I looked at some data and the gray amount in the histogram part of the picture dominates and other colors like greens reds blues yellows etc. barely show any amounts on histogram. Any thoughts?

    Take a look at the red on the engine how it goes from a nice candy apple to dull. Top is before and below is after. I took a screen shot after seeing this happen to many many photos before. It is almost like it processes the photo how it sees fit and looking at the images and how much saturation and color they use i cant imagine why it would do that. The reason why the histogram graph doesn't show anything info in the graph/chart is it is still loading the image and then you can see the results in the second pictures histogram graph/chart once the image has loaded. Once i initially upload this into Lightroom or windows view etc it never goes back to the original great looking color picture it stay in the gray dull look
    a few more RAWS to compare and see the issue
    now you can compare these above which are RAWs to the JPEG below which doesnt change once uploaded and has a much more colorful historgram

  • When trying to export a RAW image from Aperture to a jpeg, the jpeg file is completely black.

    I am trying to share some photos that I have taken.   I shot them in RAW and store them in Aperture that way.   I then tried to export the version to my desktop to be able to send to someone.   The export process went through just fine, but the jpeg file is just a black image.   I have tried this with several different images with the same result.  
    I have done this a million times in the past with no problems.   I don't know what is different now.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    As a work-around: are the jpegs ok, if you simply drag the images that you want to export from Aperture's browser to your Desktop?
    What is your Aperture version?
    And which export preset are you using? Check, if your "Export preset", for example "JPEG original size"  has been changed. Have you perhaps added a watermark, that could be occluding the image?

  • RAW Images using Adobe RGB

    This appears to not just be an issue with iPhoto but more of the RAW image support in OS X itself.
    All RAW images that are opened in preview have the color profile Adobe RGB attached to them - this goes for all RAW images that I export to JPEGs from iPhoto. While this isn't really a problem if I am to keep/view/print images from my MacBook alone - but the colors of my images get messed up when I export some images for my wife to view on her PC - or when I use the Facebook feature of iPhoto to upload images to my Facebook account. The conversion to sRGB makes them look all washed out.
    Is there some way to have OS X use a different color profile when processing RAW images... so I know that what it will look like after I make adjustments and export them? Like I say - this isn't an iPhoto issue - but a OS X RAW Image issue... so forgive me if this is not the correct forum.
    Cheers!

    Thanks TD,
    I think that applies to JPEGs that are brought into iPhoto as opposed to RAW images that OS X processes.
    I am sure Facebook does process the file somewhat... mostly resizing the image to meet its specs. But as for the color I am sure it is to do with the color profile used. As I a say, the images look the same (washed out) when opened on my wife's PC (or my two PCs for that matter).
    I tested this by exporting a RAW image to JPEG in iPhoto... open it in Preview - the color profile used is Adobe RGB (as this is what OS X RAW Processing is using). I apply (convert) to sRGB and the colors become washed out (just as when uploading to Facebook). So it's apparent that it's a Color Profile issue. I just wanted to know if the OS X RAW processing be set to use another Color Profile.... Adobe RGB looks good... but not so great if the file is to be viewed with or exported to sRGB.
    Cheers!

  • How iPhoto handles Camera RAW images

    Ok, so iPhoto can import Camera RAW files from supported cameras. But then what happens to them? This is what I think is happening when I edit imported Camera RAW files from my Canon Digital Rebel (not XT). If anyone has anything to add, I would appreciate it.
    1. When first imported into iPhoto, the image is untouched and shows as "Canon Raw" with its original size (approx 7MB) in the information window.
    2. If you have an external editor (like Photoshop Elements) setup, double clicking the photo causes iPhoto to create a new JPEG image with the same dimensions as the original and about 2.2MB in size. This JPEG image is what is opened in the external editor.
    2a. The same thing happens if you edit inside iPhoto.
    3. After editing a RAW image (i.e. creating a JPEG as above), the iPhoto library still shows the image name with .CRW, but the information window now says the format is "JPEG Image (from Canon Raw)" and the size is about 2MB. The edited JPEG image is what is shown in the iPhoto thumbnail.
    4. If you now Share->Export the image, when "Original" is selected in the Format popup menu, the unedited RAW image is exported.
    5. If you want to export the edited image, you need to select JPEG from the Format popup menu when you select Share->Export. Then your edited JPEG image will be exported.
    6. If you drag the original unedited RAW image from the iPhoto library window to the Photoshop Elements icon in the dock, the Canon RAW image is opened in Photoshop Elements. In this case, iPhoto doesn't create the JPEG image first.
    Did I miss anything?

    I developed a neat workflow around iPhoto's RAW capabilities.
    1. Import RAWs into iPhoto
    2. Open Raws in Photoshop via dragging photos onto PS dock icon
    3. Edit RAWs
    4. Reduce to 8 bit
    5. Save as JPEG in the folder where iPhoto stores the JPEGs derived from the RAWs, i.e. the parent folder of the 'Original' folder where the RAWs you just edited are stored, i.e. overwrite the JPEGs already present there.
    6. Close the file in PS.
    Now, combine 4, 5, and 6 into a PS-Aktion.
    iPhoto recognises the JPEGS, but sometimes one has to click on them show the edited version. Somehow, iPhoto is still at first creating a preview from the RAW file and not recognising that there is an edited JPEG version (understandingly, since iPhoto can't remember it created edited JPEGs).

  • PSE6 - Saving RAW images as JPEG

    I am new to PSE6. I have a Pentax K10D dslr, which can create raw images in either the Pentax proprietary PEF format or Adobe's DNG format.
    I have downloaded the latest version (4.4.1) of Adobe Camera Raw. PSE6 opens and processes either type of raw file with no problem.
    My problem comes when I try to save the file. I click on "File" - "Save As". There is a line to specify the file name, and a pull-down menu with several file types. Standard JPEG is not included in the list. JPEG 2000 is in the list, but when I save the file in that format, the resulting file is more than 3 times the size of the original raw file. None of my other software knows what to do with a JPEG 2000 file, either.
    Have I done something wrong? Am I missing something? Must I save the file in its original format (PEF or DNG) and then use some other program to convert it to JPEG, so that I can send it somewhere to be printed?
    Paul Noble

    You have to convert the file to 8bits/Channel. You can either do that in
    ACR or in the Editor (>Image >Mode).

  • RAW Images Alter When Saved After Processing in CS5 Camera RAW?

    Hi,
    I am currently experiencing a problem in Photoshop CS5, where after processing a CR2 RAW image file in Camera RAW, whether I then decide to open the image straight into CS5, or save as a jpeg or tiff file, the image completely alters from what I was previously seeing in the Camera RAW window?
    The saved jpeg/tiff, or image now shown in CS5 is now very tinted, where objects that were perfectly white in the Camera RAW window are now a dirty yellow colour.
    I was just wondering if there was any advice any of you could give me as to what the problem might be?
    I have made sure that both CS5 and the Camera RAW window are both set to sRGB, but it has had no effect on the problem.
    Thank you in advance for any help

  • Edited RAW files not saved as .JPEG files

    Before I updated to iPhoto8, when I edited my RAW files they were saved to JPEG files automatically. From the Help documentation, I believe that this should still be happening..... but it isn't.
    Do I have a setting wrong? Anyone know?
    Thanks.

    Check the entry "About nondestructive editing" in iPhoto Help. With iPhoto '08 you will not see the "save" progress bar unless the photo was previously edited in iPhoto 6. Here is a portion of the text:
    Nondestructive editing allows you to try different adjustments and effects at will⎯there’s no danger that successive edits and saves will degrade your photo’s quality. You’re never more than one version away from your original photo. Instead of saving a new version over the previous one every time you edit a photo, iPhoto ’08 simply remembers all your changes as an edit list.
    When you reopen your edited photo to view or do more work, iPhoto then reapplies those edits to the original version. You’ll see where you left off, so you can make incremental changes from there.
    IMPORTANT: For photos imported to earlier versions of iPhoto and never edited, nondestructive editing will apply in iPhoto ’08.
    However, for photos imported to earlier versions and edited either in iPhoto or in a separate application such as Photoshop, nondestructive editing does not apply.

  • Shot photos in camera raw and after editing and saving as jpeg photo becomes extremely grainy

    I click open in photoshop and choose my raw image from folder. I edit colors, clarity tones sharpness etc from the pop-up.Then click open image. It opens in photoshop. Photo looks great with no graininess. I save opened file as jpeg. I open jpeg file in a picture viewer program and it is extremely grainy. Help?

    What JPG quality settings? What JPG colour format? Will another picture viewer show better? Are the display options in the picture viewer which might make it worse?

  • Saving RAW Images

    I use a Canon Digital Rebel and usually take my pictures in the RAW format. After editing within PSE 4.0 and then try to "save as" the image the only options I have for format type are Photoshop, JPEG 2000, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, PNG or TIFF. Can anyone tell me why regular JPG is not an option or how I can enable this?
    Thanks,
    D. Hoyes

    Dwight,
    It is probably because the image is in 16 bit mode.
    When you first open the RAW image, at the bottom left there is an option for 8 bits/channel or 16 bits/channel - set this to 8 and you should then be able to save as a JPG.
    Alternatively, you can leave it set to 16 and convert to 8 bit in the editor (Image -> Mode -> 8 bit/channel)

  • Saving raw images to a CD/files are too big!

    I was the second shooter at a wedding, and the primary photographer asked me to send my raw images straight to her for processing. Music to my ears as less work for me!
    However, when I went to burn my 1800 plus images to a CD, I realized the files would fill over 20 CD's. Seems a little kooky.
    Beyond using an FTP site to send them (which I suspect would have similar size issues) is there a way to 'zip' or 'compress' these files to a CD, and still have the images arrive as full size, raw images?

    A service like www.rapidshare.com will let you upload files that are up to 200MB in size without paying or registering, so if you can ZIP or Stuff the RAWs into archives a little less than 200MB in size then you could upload these via the Rapidshare website and the primary photographer should be able to download them.  A program like WinRAR will split up a large archive into whatever size chunks you want.  The drawback to doing this, of course, is that there are likely to be 60-80 200MB ZIPs involved so it could be tedious for you to upload and her to download them, one by one.
    Otherwise, along the same lines are her initial request, if it's an option, a dual-layer DVD burners are available and will store about 9 GB per disc.  I recently picked up a USB external DL burner for less than $90.  You would need to check with her if she can read DVDs, of course.
    Or 16GB SDHC cards are pretty cheap, at least online, and you could put them all on one of those and mail it.

  • Losing Image quality when saving to JPeg and posting on line! Please Help.

    Hi,
    I recently got  a new computer. I use CS3 to edit.  For some reason, whenever I resize the image, save it as a Jpeg and post it to the web, it loses image quality.  Severely.  I've never had this problem before....until this new computer.
    I usually resize the image to 800, then simply click on Save as Jpeg.   Once I resize, it looks fine CS3, but NOT online.
    Just  a picture of my kid. No critiques please! : )

    For blog software, you will have to look under Manage under your admin account. There's an option to define the maximum image size for previews (inline images) and medium image sizes. if they are set to samll, the software will resize them, yet the theme you use may scale them up again to full column width, so they look mooshy. Make sure the image size in the settings panel matches the images you upload. For Facebook it may be similar, but I won't rule out that eitehr of the two services frcibly will change your images to save bandwidth. This should be stated in their terms of use somewhere. If you're merely referring to color shifts, you may wish to check your default color settings and the Embed color profile and Preserve RGB options in the Save for web and Devices dialog.

  • Automatically export to JPEG from RAW images

    RAW images are preferred form of shooting for many photographers. And, Lightroom is great at managing and developing these images. However, we increasingly use/view these images outside Lightroom and away from the PC where we do most of the development. For example, I use a DLNA server which shows off my entire image collection to big screen television (which can act as a DLNA client). The same DLNA server is used to send images to our smartphones (my wife loves to show all kid pictures anywhere she - without having to carry the pictures on the phone).
    Most other applications that use these images, do not work on RAW images and JPEG images must be exported manually from Lightroom. This becomes increasingly difficult to manage and keep track of while developing RAW images. How many RAW images need to be exported? How many images did I touch since the last time I exported them?
    Currently, I am using the following process to manage this:
    1. I created a smartlist which contains images that are edited after "a particular date".
    2.  I select all images in this smartlist, and use Lightroom3's export  function to export them all as JPEG, to the same folder as original.
    3. Once the export is completed, I modify the smartlist to change the "particular date" to today's date.
    I plan to repeat this procedure every so often (once a week or so).
    It would be great if Lightroom had a feature such that it always keeps "JPEGs exported" for all RAW images (with the latest development settings of course). This could be a process that could occur in the background or at a user-specified time/event (e.g. when one closes Lightroom). User should be able to specify where the exported JPEG images should be put to and with what name (I prefer in the same folder as RAW but other users may have other preferences). User should be able to select if this is only done for RAW images or also for JPEG and other formats (in which case, should the exported image override the original or not). The exported images should be (optionally) automatically included in the Lightroom catalogue and stacked with the original RAW image.
    Mainly, the entire process should be completely transparent to the user. A collection of JPEG images - corresponding to the latest development settings for the RAW images - should be always available.

    I've heard many others raising the issue of an auto-jpeg feature - kinda like auto-write xmp, except auto-write jpeg.
    I agree this would be nice, obviously some sort of "stability" check would be needed so it isnt constantly writing jpegs as you edit. Lightroom employs a form of this already for the xmp - meaning it doesn't update xmp every brush stroke, but accumulates several strokes before updating, so its more efficient...
    If you could define multiple jpegs to keep - with the raws, or a separate tree - even better. That would obsolete all the tree output plugins and publishers.
    The publishing feature was intended to fill this need (albeit manual only), but it suffers from the inability to publish to original directory, and/or an external tree.
    I'd like to see a manual mode too, that accompanies a new "Done for now" function - so when you say "Done for now", it saves xmp, jpeg(s), snapshot, and optionally locks the file so unapproved changes can no longer happen to it. Then if you could define multiple "done for now" presets that include initiating publish service and exports, then the work-flow becomes: 1.import, 2.edit, 3.done for now - and thats it (maybe repeat 2 + 3 in the future). i.e. no more manually initiating the exports, publish services, snapshots, saving of xmp, ..., and whatever else you do when you're done.
    In the mean time, I may make some of this part of an up-n-coming "Sidekick" app + plugin combo when I get to it.
    Presently, I dont use publishing services, and I have ExportManager to consolidate exports (which includes TreeSync), so my workflow is: 1.import, 2.edit, 3.done for now (save xmp+snapshot, and lock via ChangeManager), 4. initiate consolidated exports...

    Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
