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 - 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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...

  • My hardrive just got diagnosed as 'faulty' even though its only 1year8months old!!! I had adobe bridge installed on the computer with many picture files that included raw images. How can I get these raw files back after computer died?

    computer did not start up one day. it was a white screen
    took it to a mac bar and they said the diagnosis was a faulty hard drive
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    they suggested sending it to a data recovery specialist which would cost around $500!
    I am not getting the answers I need on how, why, or what is going to be recovered or if raw picture files will be able to be saved.
    Not sure what to do next because I dont have loads of extra money laying around to pay for something that should have not occured in the first place if I was actually sold a good computer.
    payed $1095 for this imac and it only lasted just under 2 years. I feel cheated and scammed! Has any one else gone through this same thing?? what did you do?

    If it is only 20 months old it is still covered by the 3-year Applecare.
    You did take out Applecare didn't you?
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    Why did you, as a photographer, not make several backups, not just one or a partial one, of your material?

  • Viewing RAW images in full screen - problem

    I have begun to shoot some images in RAW mode with both my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200 - NEF format. I edit in Photoshop Elements, from withing iPhoto so that edited images are saved back to iPhoto.
    When I view edited images in full screen mode from iPhoto, the edited version will be shown briefly and then the unedited version pops up. Anyone know what this is all about and can it be stopped?
    Also, I am wondering why, when I right-click on a RAW image in iPhoto, one of my choices is "Reprocess RAW" whether I have edited it or not. And there is no choice to "Revert to original" as in non-RAW images.
    Marion

    I think you are referring to minor color and other editing done within iPhoto. I am talking about cropping and other major editing done in Photoshop Elements. This edited RAW image, by default, is saved back to iPhoto - but NOT as JPEG - where I can view it along with other RAW images I have not processed in any way.
    Yet, both edited and unedited images offer me the same option when I right click for the contextual menu - "Reprocess RAW." This is the place where "Revert to Original" appears when this menu is accessed from a JPEG image.
    When I use iPhoto edit, which I almost never do, it does indeed save the image as "JPEG image (from Nikon RAW)." And indeed I do then have the option to Revert to Original.
    Reprocess RAW works in the same way as Revert to Original. It was just mysterious to me why I was offered the opportunity to redo something I'd not done in the first place.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Camera raw images change colour in adobe bridge

    I have photoshop CS4 and import my camera raw images into Adobe Bridge.  When I view the thumbnails in bridge my raw images look vibrant and exactly like they appear on the camera but when I go to open them in camera raw edit they change colour and look washed out before I've made any changes.  Can anyone help me figure out how to correct this?

    My camera is set to shoot sRGB JPGs and is set to all zeros for the brightness/contrast/saturation parameters.
    What is your camera set to as far as these basic toning settings, as well as any automatic things like DLighting or highlight compression and perhaps any custom curves or whatever that is called for Nikons?
    First paragraph - so is mine.
    Second paragraph - all other settings are neutral/zeroed/turned off, as per my post to which you responded. That is, no additional tone curves - Active D-Lighting turned OFF (why anyone would let the camera decide what to do do with highlights and shadows is beyond my level of trust) , Jpg compression is Optimal (least possible) et cetera.
    Think I now have an explanation for the different displays in ACR (and Bridge) that I have been experiencing. Took a new duplicate Jpg/Raw shot with the in-camera Picture Control set to Neutral. Now, when both the Jpg and .NEF Raw are viewed in ACR, with the ACR Camera profile set to Camera Neutral, they appear, ASAICT, identical. Saved Camera Neutral as the default ACR Camera profile. Now back in Bridge, the images also appear pretty much identical.
    I think what was happening previously was that I had failed to save Camera Standard in ACR as the default Camera profile, and it was defaulting to Adobe Standard, and hence it was rendering Raw thumbnails for Bridge to that Camera profile - hence the difference in appearance between the Jpg and Raw in Bridge. Unless I have got it completely wrong,  I think my problem is now solved.

    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!!!!

  • LR 4 edit Camera-RAW-Image in PS CS 6 - edited photos are not shown in LR

    Platform Win 7 SP1 64 bit german, LR 4.1 german, PS CS6 german with Camera RAW 7.1, catalog with 66800 images
    When I select a RAW-Image and select edit in PS CS 6 the image is opened in photoshop and everythings seems to work find. But after saving the image (as tiff, using default settings) nothing habens in LR - the image is not imported into the catalog.
    When trying to sync the folder manually, the first dialog shows that one image (this image) will be added, but then an error message is shown that no image has been imported.
    This is  a problem with my big main catalog which has been migrated from LR 3, but it works fine when creating a new catalog.
    Also importing the existing huge catalog into a new catalog did not solve the problem (but the images edited within the old catalog were shown).
    So it seems that LR does only a partial "import" when editing images in CS6.
    Any hints to solve the problem are welcome
       Thanks, Christian

    Some further reflection on this issue.
    If "sync folder" shows the edited TIFF in the filesystem but is then not importing anything, one explanation may be: this image IS already in the Catalog; but Lightroom's current view has filtered it out so it is not displayed.
    This might not be the case - and I hesitate to suggest the too-obvious (though the too-obvious is often what trips us up , even the most experienced). But it does at least fit with having the problem in one Catalog but not in another... if one Catalog happens to be set to show its images in some selective way which excludes these image versions.
    Library screen / Catalog panel / "all photographs"; then Grid view / Filter bar / "None"; then Photo menu / Stacking / "expand all stacks"; then View menu / Sort / "Capture time" (or the same operations done another way) should either eliminate, or confirm. You should then see each and any edit version that is present, right next to its related original.
    It may be that the Catalog, and its contents, are fine.

  • RAW images ... 0KB

    I have just started using iPhoto with RAW images from my Lumix G1... no importing problems so far BUT...
    I import a RAW image (with no jpeg thumbnail). iPhoto lists it as RAW at about 14MB. I have set Adv Prefs to save edits as TIFF, so I open the picture to Edit in Full Screen and do some prelim edits. I then close the picture, and iPhoto STILL lists the picture as RAW, but now at 2.7MB (as if it were saved as a JPEG. After a second or two that size changes to 0KB! with the image still listed as RAW, not as TIFF, which is what I thought the prefs had set up!
    I now open the image to Edit with External Editor (PS Elements 8). When the picture hits the screen it is titled as .tif, implying that though iPhoto hasn't told me, it has been saved as a .tif after my iPhoto edit. This seems to be confirmed when after an edit in PSE I call to save the image as a .tif, and am asked whether I want to overwrite the .tif that is already there!!! And when I go ahead and do so, the image is now listed by iPhoto as a TIFF image, and after yet another open/save in iPhoto is still listed as TIFF.
    Will the image only get saved as an overt .tif after edits by my external editor (PS Elements)? And what is going on after the initial edit with iPhoto? What IS this 0KB extent file that iPhoto is listing as RAW? Can someone clarify to me what is happening? Is my copy of iPhoto working as it should? OR.... ?

    FWIW here is some addition information on using a 3rd party editor, Photoshop, from within iPhoto:
    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.
    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 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 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    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
    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 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..

  • Edit Raw in extrernal editor, will it use the raw image or the JPEG?

    Does iPhoto 06 uses the RAW image when editing it in an external program (like Photoshop) of does it (like iPhoto 05) open a JPEG instead. Opening the RAW file and saving the edited picture back to iPhoto in JPEG would be really handy!
    But doe it do that? I haven't bought iLife 06 yet...

    it depends how you set up preferences. Go to iPhoto -> Preferences, click on the Advanced cog and select "Use RAW files with external editor". That will allow you to open your RAW file in the converter of your choice. It will not, though, update the JPEG back into iPhoto. You will have to reimport it or do like me and continue to search this discussion board for a way to do this.

  • RAW IMAGE EDITING -help required

    I look at my RAW images in Organiser and then I use the EDIT tap to move to the RAW IMAGE edit section with the image I want to edit.
    After I have edited the image- I move the image back to the main EDIT screen and then save as a Jpeg File in another folder.
    The problem I am having is, when I then go back to the Organiser, I cant open the unedited original RAW image again, not sure why this is?
    although I can see a small thamb-nail of the image it does not open but keeps on searching.
    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    To be sure I understand your workflow, I'll put it in my own words...
    - You select a raw file in the Organizer, and you choose to edit it in full edit/expert mode (that depends on the PSE version).
    - The file opens in the specific dialog panel of ACR, with its typical sliders
    - When you have done your edits there, you can either be satisfied with them (case 1) or want to do further editing in the PSE editor with layers or other tools (case 2)
    - case 1  - you simply click 'Done' and you are back in the organizer. The thumbnail is updated to show the edits.
    - case 2 - You click 'Open' and the file opens in the normal editor mode of PSE. You do further edits, and you save the result in the format and the folder you want. When you close the image in the editor, you get back to the Organizer. If you have set your 'save as'  with the right checkbox, the new jpeg is stored in the the Catalog as a version set.
    Your problem seems to be that once you have edited your original raw file, you don't see it in its original state without the edits ?
    If so, in the bar just under the tabs, you have a menu on the right (4 bars icon). You just set the choice to camera raw defaults, and you are shown the original raw image without your edits. Note that if you choose 'Shift + Open', you open a new copy without changing the previous settings saved in the xmp sidecar file.
