Still see the RAW files in Finder?

Hi, I'm new to Mac and Lightroom, and there is one thing I'm trying to understand. I imported some images. I converted the RAW files to DNG files. Everything is ok in LR. But I just looked in Finder under ALL DOCUMENTS,  and see those RAW files sitting there, they are not in LR nor my PIctures folder only ALL DOCUMENTS. What did I do wrong? I don't want to keep the original RAW files.
THANKS FOR THE HELP.

The other times I have imported RAW and converted to DNG on import, the RAW files were never saved, like it should be.
Well, this depends if you Added or Moved the raw files in question. If they were converted directly from the SD card or camera, they will not be copied to the target directory you specify. But if you are just making a DNG reference to files already on the filesystem, Lr will rightly not delete them.
I think the "convert to DNG" gesture you can do to existing imported raw imges has an option to trash the originals. Not sure about that, though.

    Are you sure?  I have other devices at home.  The only way I can make them disappear on the tracking list is by turning off location or resetting to factory settings. 
    I just want to make sure I'm not tracking a phantom that I will never recover :-(

  • I do not see the jpg files in Finder?

    I need to be able to see the pictures as files in Finder. I only see the IPHOTO Library. But when I click on it, it does not display the individual files as it used to. Without this feature, I can not upload them to Shutterfly. Can someone help me with this?

    The iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix style package file.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    For Shutterfly and many other photosites check out PictureSync.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • When I add an artwork to a song on iTunes, it is only on iTunes, I mean, When I see the song file on Finder, it does not have the artwork. What Can I do?

    If I open the file on Windows or in a SmartPhone, it does not have the artwork. How can I "paste" the artwork to the song file?

  • Aperture library can't link the RAW files.

    I am pretty much pulling my hair out on this. I setup Aperture so all files are collected and held into the APlibrary files.
    My Aperture library also resigned on an external drive. One day I realized that I needed to reformat the drive so I copied the Aperture Library off onto another drive. When I went to choose the new Library which was the backup, all raw files couldn't be found. At first it was unrecognized file error, and now it just shows the jpg.
    I ran Aperture holding the keycombos to fix permissions, and do a rebuild of the Library. What that did was make it so I wouldn't get an error but it replaced everything with the JPGs and no raw files to be found.
    Next I renamed the aplibrary file to .foo I opened it up as a directory and then started to rename the project folders so I could open those. All of the NEF (RAW) files are there intact which is great, but I need to connect everything so I still have the Raw files with all color adjustments.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great. I don't know what else I can do.
    Thanks!

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • Elements 11 not seeing/downloading RAW files.  HELP!!!

    Hello,
    Just got Elements 11 and when I put the card into my pc the download box pops up and it reads the card, but it does not see the raw files, only the jpg files. If I use windows explorer to view the card it sees the raw files fine. I can open raw files from the card into elements 11 editor fine. It just will not see the raw file in the downloader box. I had Elements 7 before 11 and it worked fine.
    I have windows 7 and Elements 11 is updated to the latest version.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    David

    Thanks for the reply.
    Thats right, not seeing any raw thumbnails. If I just have raw files on the card and put it into the PC's card reader or a USB exturnal card reader all it says is"This divice does not have any supported media". It will show the jpg and tif files. It's a really weird problem. Elements 7 worked fine. All my cameras are old, D700, D3, D300s, D1x so it's not a problem being a new camera thats not supported yet.
    I'll try the organizer way and see if it works or I may just use the Nikon transfer software.

  • I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

  • Unable to see raw files in Finder and therefor can't import in aperture

    I have loaded my raw files from the CF card (Canon 4DII) into a directory on the Mac. I go into Aperture, select import and select the directory where the files are and none of the raw files appear.
    I go into iPhoto and they appear and I am able to import them into iPhoto.
    I need to import the files into Aperture. How can I get Aperture to "see" the files in the finder directory?

    Hi New
    It doesn't look like your camera is supported, which is why your raw files don't show up to import.
    (Check the list here, for sure
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html)
    Mine isn't either.
    I use DNG Converter from Adobe (Free) to convert my RAW files to DNG. The .DNG files ( not '.dng') are then readable by Aperture.
    You can get the app here: (or just go to Adobe's website)
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16064
    What I do:
    Open DNG converter
    Select the folder with the raw files
    Save in new location:
    Select folder: and create a DNG folder inside the original folder with the RAW images)
    File Extension .DNG
    Convert.
    When i import into Aperture, I choose the option to 'Store files in their original location' (which is an external drive foe me) ... this way i'm not getting duplicates and taking up more space.
    Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

    The support for that camera was added in the very latest release of Lightroom, version 5.7.1. Having downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.1 will have no effect on Lightroom because Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. You need to make sure you have updated Lightroom to the very latest release in order to have support for that camera.

  • I down loaded ACR 6.7 for CS5 so that the raw files for Nikon D800 would work. But they still don't open

    What else do I have to do so the raw files will open in bridge?

    Well, it says I already have the most recent version. However Google Plus still says my version is out of date.
    A friend suggested I back up my bookmarks, then try uninstalling & reinstalling Firefox the traditional way, and rebooting my system afterwards.
    I'm going to try that to see if there is some kind of other issue going on between Google Plus and all of the websites that say my browser is out of date (ie. version 3.5) when it is not.
    Thanks!
    ps. I did try what you suggested, and that's where I found out my browser version is current.

  • When will finder show a thumbnail or preview of the raw file images from the Canon 5d mark iii?

    I am wondering if anyone has an update on when finder will show a thumbnail for the raw files from the Canon 5d mark III? I've done all the updates possible and nothing has changed, I can't do a quick preview either, it just shows the extension image, not the actual image taken. (The symbol for crw).

    I had the same problem for a Canon EOS-1D X and finally got around it by viewing the images in Adobe Bridge. Worked beautifully!

    When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it.  I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.

    please have a look at the folllowing link about the isntallation of the camera raw plugin.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407344.html
    be sure not to have the older version of camera raw plugin in the same folder as that of new one. dont even rename it. Remove it and store it in some other location in case you need to revert back the changes. The camera raw plugin is called : Camera Raw
    thanks

    Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button.  Also get error message on launch:  An error occurred when attempting to change modules.  I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files:  System Library/Application Support/Adobe.  Any ideas?  I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro.  This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens.  Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you for attempting to help.  I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem.  Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem.  I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom.  The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery.  Only a few days left on my trial version!  I hope I have time to try it out!

  • I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.

    It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.
