Small Raw Files

This is kind of a weird issue. When I import Raw files to Aperture it seems that it re sizes the files tiny and I mean really tiny to to like 120 pixels out of no where. I checked out my camera first to see what my setting were but those were fine and imported the same raw files to Lightroom to double check and they imported fine. I looked at the preferences in Aperture and nothing looked out of the ordinary. I don't think I changed any setting or at least I don't think I did. Any ideas or suggestions?

Use the Migrate Images command on the 7D files. It will force Aperture to re-render them and you'll get full sized renders instead of work with the camera-generated JPEG files.

  • Aperture does not support Small Raw files from Canon EOS 5D MK II

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new Canon EOS 5D MK II camera and started shooting on SmallRaw format, but Aperture simply refused to process those files. It only shows a preview of around 3 inches only. I don't know what's wrong either with my OS 10.5.6 or Aperture 2.
    Now that I've returned to Digital Photo Professional from Canon to process the image. Please help, I don't want to break my workflow.
    regards,

  • Cannot open SRaw files from my Canon 40D can open Large Raw files

    Hello,
    I use Windows XP. I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I use Canon 40D. I have run updates in Photoshop and all is updated (I have ACR 4.2). Camera raw only appears once when I look at About Plug-In. I am not able to open the small raw files, but I am able to open the large ones with Camera Raw in Photoshop.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone help?
    Thanks! Linda

    Jeff,
    I also put a level of responsibility on Canon
    "Please be sure to place _ALL_ of the responsibility on Canon...it's THIER firmware. "
    FWIW, I did lace into Canon Tech support today about two major pieces, first the lack of any information regarding the update. Spoke to a supervisor. He claimed that being only out there a week was not enough time for them to get informed. I reminded him that he should probably add another week to that allowing build time to get the cameras loaded with the new FW and out to distributors, and that 2 weeks was more than enough time for them to hear something. With regard to the "responsibility of the RAW software company to be code to new cameras" I reminded him Adobe already had and it was working fine with the 40D and that their "point release" which no one seems to be able to find (except on the cameras) broke what was working. The Saga sadly continues...

  • Nikon D1x - raw file size and sharpening in Aperture

    Good day all:
    I have looked for several hours but can't find the answer to two questions:
    1) How to set Aperture to use the full file size for the D1x, approx. 10.7 MB, vs the smaller Raw file size of 7.7 MB. The Nikon software all allows this function. Can aperture do it?
    2)Aperture greys out the shrapening buttons for my D1x files, but allows it for my D100. I have tried every permutation I can think of, no luck. I wonder if it might be related to question #1? Thanks so much. I really need to do some sharpening!

  • Nikon D810 9mp raw files won't open

    Apple released an RAW update for Nikon D810 cameras. How long until the 9MB RAW files have an update?

    Yes, you are correct about the small RAW files.
    The primary problem that I have is that I have already taken the photos. In other words I'm looking to edit/process photos that I have already taken. The shoot is done. Finished. And I can't open them in Aperture.
    Once I figured out that the smaller raw files can't be opened with Aperture, I switched to the full sized raw setting. So I'm good for processing future photos.
    Anyone have any news about raw update for small, 9mp d810 raw files?

  • No RAW files from iPhoto 9

    I have a Canon 5D Mark ll and iLife 09.. At first iPhoto would not accept RAW files; then a friend fixed the situation and it did. Now, once again, iPhoto says the RAW files are unrecognized in that format. The JPEGS download just fine. Any insight anyone?

    Thanks, everyone, for your responses.
    After an hour at the Apple Store Genius Bar and the thoughts of three different Geniuses, my problem was solved. I had changed from shooting the largest RAW files to smaller RAW files; apparently, iPhoto only accepts the largest RAW files. Too, there's a firmware update, hjell, that you might want to check out. You have to go on the Canon website to get it. This firmware is very recent, I think: 1.0.7; if you have anything less that might be your problem. Good luck!

  • I noticed that when I develop in light room 5 that the raw files are larger and the finished product is 80 percent smaller

    anybody have an idea why or is that the norm
    my raw file was 11,2 and my JPEG was 1.26

    The RAW files are the same size as the camera made them. Lightroom doesn't change the file size or image size.
    The JPG size depends on a dozen or so things, some of which you can control and some of which you cannot control, but almost always the JPG is smaller than the corresponding RAW.. I see no particular problem with a JPG that is smaller, depending on the export options you chose, and I have never yet seen Lightroom produce an incorrect size JPG
    By the way, normally numbers have units, you did not mention any units, so I really can't comment further without knowing the units for the numbers you show

  • Why are my RAW files so small/ruined?

    I just imported a few hundred photos from my camera into my computer using iphoto version 6.0.6.
    They are now useless little 2x3" jpegs with file sizes of about 16 to 50 kb.
    And of course, I used the convenient 'delete files from camera after import' feature so the originals are gone.
    Please tell me my photo files aren't ruined.
    gg

    Hi, guy. Quite apart from resolving the present problem in iPhoto, two pieces of advice:
    1. Never use the "delete images from camera after importing" option in iPhoto.
    2. If your RAW files are not found anywhere in the iPhoto Library, you can almost certainly recover them from the camera's memory — but ONLY if you haven't written anything to the card since it was erased. So don't use that card again until your pictures are found or recovered. Applications made specifically for data recovery from flash memory cards include:
    PhotoRescue
    MediaRecover
    CardRaider
    There's a demo version of each.

  • Why are my files exporting so small? (15 mb RAW files exporting to 2 mb JPEG)

    I'm trying to export RAW files into JPEG for a client and haven't experienced this issue before. I shot on large format RAW and original files are around 15 mb. When I export them in lightroom they end up around 2 mb. I know that I can still print large files from this but I'm worried that my (wedding) clients will see the file size and worry about enlarging prints, etc. Is there a way to export them so they are larger? I'm currently exporting at 100%. Help please!

    File size really doesn't provide useful information. And since JPG is compression, I see nothing unusual about a 15mb original RAW exported as 2mb JPG. If you are worried about file size, then you are not looking at the right numbers.
    You need to look at number of pixels in the original image, and number of pixels in the exported file. Anything else will lead you in the wrong direction.

  • Photoshop CS4 smart object template just overwrote a raw file - HELP

    So.  I've been working in Photoshop extensively for about 6 years now and I am well aware that nothing we do in Photoshop or Lightroom is supposed to overwrite a raw file.  I'm not talking about changing it to something a little lighter or darker, I'm talking about replacing a picture of one baseball player with another one - and the original? Gone. 
    Here's what happened: I have a poster template that contains several layers, 7 of which are smart objects.  I change the pictures in the template by right-clicking the smart object layer and selecting "replace smart object," browsing to the new image, selecting, and here is what SHOULD happen: the target picture opens in Adobe camera raw, I make some small edits, click done or okay or something similar, and that new image has replaced the old one in the template.  What DID happen was this: I followed the procedure above and selected my target raw file, the picture that was already in the template (the one I was trying to replace with my target file) opened in Adobe camera raw.  I thought - Hey, that's wierd!  Closed the ACR dialog and tried again.  Same thing happened.  I opened lightroom and saw - to my HORROR - that the target file had been changed to the same image that was in the template.
    If it clarifies: pictures of player A (who played in 2009) is in all of the smart object layers in my template.  I want to make that poster be of player B (who played in 2012) so I begin replacing all the smart objects.  When I get to the 3rd image in the poster template, Photoshop overwrites my raw file of player B with the smart object photo of Player A.  There were no photos of player A on the network drive that the picture of Player B was on.  But there's one now.  My raw file shows that it was modified about 10 minutes ago. 
    We tried undoing in Photoshop.  That did nothing.  We tried deleting the xmp file.  That did nothing.  We removed it from the lightroom catalog and reimported it.  It is now a picture of Player A from 2009 and my picture of Player B from 2012 is just gone. 
    Anybody have any idea what this could be and how we could avoid it in the future?
    Best,
    Jamey

    Now - JJ - when you say "overlay files" - what do you mean?  Because that feels like a good description for what happened.
    We performed no save operation at any point during the sequence of events that ended with the image in one raw file being replaced by the image in the smart object.
    As I wrote Smart Object layers embedded object is a copy of the original  and if you replace it you replace it with a copy of some other object. Embedded object are copies and independent from the original.  If after creating a smart Object layer who's embedded object is a copy of a raw file and its conversion settings. You change the original RAW files RAW conversion settings the smart object layer raw conversion setting are not changes for its a copy with independent raw conversion settings. When you replace a smart object layers contents you will replace the embedded object and you should replace it with an object the has the same pixel size and orientation. Because there is an associated transform for the object in the layer that is not replaced. The replacement is also a copy.  If the original smart object was created using  File Open where you choose a RAW file  ACR would open with the RAW files current conversion settings.  In ACR you can changes the setting then hold down the shift key to change the open image button to an Open Object button.  Using that button ACR will open a smart object layer in Photoshop the contents of the embedded object is a copy of the RAW file and the current ACR settings.  No File is written Photoshop is not a File Editor its a Document editor that has many data structures for different layer types.  When you replace the contents of a smart object you will be put into a "Place" file selection dialog if you choose a raw file it should have the same orientation as the image being replaced because of the associated transform. When you choose a RAW file ACR will open and you can change the conversion settings however there will be no Open Image button instead there will be an OK button.  There is also a save image button and you can save a RAW file that is a DNG file not a CR2 file. Like the DNG converter. If you click the OK button the embedded object in the smart object layer will be replaced with a copy of the selected RAW file and the current ACR settings. Again there is no file written Photoshop is not a File editor just the embedded smart object data is replaced in Photoshop smart object layer's data structure.
    I do not think the use of smart objects in you process caused what you are experiencing and because it only happens once an a while I feel its more likely caused by some human error made during the processing in those cases. I would look elsewhere for what causing the overlay. In the place file selection dialog it is possible to rename files perhaps even by accident. Programs like LR and Bridge can rename and copy files perhaps overlay other files.

  • Opening RAW files in Bridge - not recognized as "Camera RAW files"

    I would appreciate any help with this as I am frustrated after spending hours trying to figure this out:
    I use a Mac OS X laptop
    I have a Panasonic (DMC FZ8) camera that I've been taking RAW pictures with. I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera using Bridge (I have Photoshop CS2)..I have also tried copying the files to a folder on my desktop and opening from there. The problem is that Bridge doesn't recognize my .RAW files as actual "Camera RAW" files and the icons remain as the Preview icon and not actually a preview of the image. If I click on it to open it in Photoshop the "Photoshop RAW Options" come up set on 8 bits and when I open it, it's just a gray screen. I have checked the settings for RAW Camera and the Panasonic RAW files .raw is selected. I have also tried selecting "show only camera raw files" in my window that is open and my .RAW files that are there gray out - so the program isn't recognizing them.
    I just downloaded the Plug-in 3.7 Camera Raw and had to create folders for it in Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats. the only folder I had was Application Support/Adobe so the rest I created.
    I'm now lost as to what I should do next. Nothing I try seems to be working.
    PLEASE HELP!

    >I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera
    Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
    That is a monumentally bad idea. Transfer the closed files to your local hard drive first.
    This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
    Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
    Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
             Drains the camera battery
             Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
             Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
             Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

  • Importing, copyping raw files as DNG files - copy to location choice, and more ???

    First:
    When I copy raw files as DNG files, the right hand pane shows where the copies will be placed.  (I use Windows 7) I do not have much of a choice, and cannot set a default.  The default choice is "My Pictures" on the C: drive.  I have an Solid State Drive, SSD, and do NOT store my photos on that small, 256Gb drive.  I store my images on an internal hard drive. 
    All i want to do is set the default "Copy To" location to where I store my images.  I would like to copy them to the original folder, in a separate folder (for example, LR DNG).  Instead, I have to open the SSD, find the files, and copy them to my preferred location.  This is very irritating.
    Second:
    Worst, it appears that the Copy function puts the copied images into multiple folders.  I had 11 images from raw files that were put into three separate folders.  That seems quite silly to me.  It causes me to do more work opening the folders and copying them to the root folder.  That is very irritating.   What is going on here?
    can these two issues be resolved? Thanks, in advance.

    My apologies.  I thought it would open the selected folder and reveal the images to be converted.  That would be the most obvious thing to do, but it does not behave that way.  I made a couple folders with test images, CR2 and RW2, and the converter converted them. 
    Again, the navigation was funky, inconvenient, but it works.  i complain because we pay a lot of money to use Adobe products, they have huge resources, and  they seem to release products that have obvious flaws, especially navigation.  Maybe they just hate Microsoft.  Sorry for the rant.
    Thanks for getting me to use DNG converter. 

  • CS5 is opening raw files as a smart object to files im currently working

    I just bough new CS 5 and find this big error. When i open raw file in Camera Raw and i have opened some jpg in CS5, it always opened as a smart object to this small jpg i have opened before. The same is doing my CS 5 when i drag some file from desktop, it always ended as a smart object in file im currently working with. Normaly it has to open as a new file not as a smart object in this file im already working with.

    How are you opening your RAW files? If you are dragging and dropping them onto Photoshop, on top of an already opened file's workspace -  all files will be placed as smart objects. If you drag the files to anywhere else in the interface, for instance the grey area on top of the workspace, they should open as usual. If you are opening them via Bridge or by double-clicking them in Explore, they should open as normal.
