Update library after manually deleting RAW files

I shoot both RAW + JPEG on my dSLR. When I tried importing to the iPhoto 9, it imported both files and shows me duplicate images. I figured out how to open the iPhoto package from Finder and delete all the RAW images.
The problem I have now is: There are still duplicate thumbnail images in iPhone.
How do I really get ride of the RAW images?
Is there a way to import just the JPEG images, or maybe just the RAW images?

Best course forward: Restore from back up known to be good. Failing that you can try rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager. IF that fails you can recover your original files and start over from scratch with a new Library.
FYI 1: When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a Jpeg preview - making shooting Raw plus Jpeg pointless. Further, if you're going to trash the raw, you're what's the point is shooting Raw at all?
FYI 2: The correct way to delete from iPhoto is to put the pics in the iPhoto trash and empty it.
As far as why I shoot RAW + JPEG and why I deleted the RAW files: The Mac is not now and will never be my main computer, it is something I play with and in which I port my Photo Parata software. It was not and is not my intent to archieve my images in iPhone, just to play around a bit, get a feel for how it works. I trashed the RAW files because in playing around, there was no need for the RAW images.
Q1: So the easiest thing for me to do is simply delete the library and start over. How exactly is that done? Can I simply go delete the iPhone package I opened to get at the files?
Q2: From your response, I take it there is no way for iPhone to take into account that some of us actually like to shoot RAW + JPEG, correct?

I can't delete raw files in bridge

I can't delete raw files in bridge anymore. I used to and it worked. Now if I click delete button, nothing happens.

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)? I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library. I can click on the Music link under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not. I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue. This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC. These we had loaded into iTunes. I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine. The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync. I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again. 64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

Aperture 3: Deleting raw files and making the jpeg my new master-

Aperture 3 has made some great strides in making the following possible ( I posted this originally in 2007):
What I'd like to do is shoot everything in raw + jpg, and then keep the raw files only for the important shots.
I really like having the option of raw processing, but the storage demands are very heavy. If I could just make a selection of photos in a roll, and have a command to delete any unneeded raw files from the selected photos, while keeping the original jpgs as master, that would be great.
Also, it would be great to be able to manipulate a raw file, and then when I'm satisfied with the image, to render a high-quality jpg from that raw file & make the jpg the new master, and then delete the raw file to free up disk space.
Basically, I want the raw file safety net for everyday images, without gobbling up gigabytes of disk space <<<<<
With Aperture 3, I can finally change the master to the jpg file, which solves part of the problem. But I still want to be able to manipulate my raw file, and render a new high-quality jpg master.
Why don't Aperture / Lightroom do this? To me at least, it seems an obvious feature.

I had a chance to talk to product managers from both Apple & Adobe about this at PhotoPlus Expo in NYC a couple years back. Both seemed receptive, but here we are - years later - no progress.
I think part of the problem is that there's a purist mentality about RAW files. One should always shoot them - and then keep them forever- after all- they're your negatives!
But what about event photography? Or weddings, as you pointed out? It makes no sense to burden your workflow & backup system with 4GB of RAW files of people grinning into the camera. Once the adjustments have been made, the RAW files are just a ball & chain on your data management. And let's not forget, once you really know what you're doing, your jpegs should be good most of the time anyway.
I want RAW files as a safety net for errors in exposure and white balance. Once I know I have good photos, I don't need the safety net anymore- at least not at the price of all that hard disk space and transfer time for online backup. Of course, for my fine art stuff and important documentary work, I'll always keep the RAWs permanently. But not for routine parties/events.
You put your finger on the problem with re-importing jpegs as a solution. You lose your metadata- rankings/album memberships, etc. This is no solution!
What I want is simple, and it would be immediately useful to countless photographers:
1) Let me batch-delete RAW files when the jpegs are ok.
2) Let me do adjustments on my RAW file, render out a high-quality jpeg, and make the jpeg my new master.
Whoever does this first - Aperture or Lightroom - that's the product I'll use.

Can I update Elements 9 to handle RAW files from a Nikon D5200

Can I update Elements 9 to open RAW files from a Nikon D5200, or do I have to buy something?

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.4
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

When will Lightroom be updated to accommodate Canon 6d RAW files?

When will Lightroom be updated to accommodate Canon 6d RAW files?

Its not supported in the Latest version of Lightroom 4.3 Release Candidate or ACR 7.3 RC which expires at the end of Jan 2013 I believe.
Since the 6D is a high end and likely a popular camera model it is my expectiation that it will be supported when the final release of LR 4.3 / ACR7.3 is issued.
I do not know just my opinion.

I have Photoshop CS6. I recently purchased a Nikon D750. I can't seem to figure out how to update my version to read raw files. I am not computer illiterate, but not a IT wiz either. I have a pc with windows 7.

Deleting Raw Files without deleting proxy files

Hello,
Another newbie question, is Deleting Raw Files without deleting proxy files possible? If it is, anyone have done this? I am thinking of implementing this but cannot find a way. Any suggestion / help is highly appreciated

If what you want to do is delete the original file without deleting the proxies, the easiest way would be to set up an device for Archives. Then you can archive the asset, which will move the original file to the archive location without deleting the proxy and database records for that Asset. Once that is done you can just delete the file from the archive location.

Deleted RAW file after "Open with External Editor"

I opened a file in PS using the "Open with External Editor" command and saved and it saved the update in Aperture but I needed to make anothe change so I did the same as before using the "Open with External Editor" command. Aperture created another "version" so I attempted to delete the version and it deleted all the versions as well as the "Master" RAW file. I went into my trash to find the RAW file and PS file that I wanted to keep but the RAW file was not there. I don't understand why it would put the PS file in the trash but the RAW file is nowhere to be found. Is there another place that it would go?

If the master was inside the Library then after deleting it, should be in the Trash, inside a folder called Aperture.
If it was a referenced master it should be still in the location it was unless you ticked the box 'send master to trash', in that case it'll be the same as if it was inside the Library.

Aperture quits, after I uploaded Raw files, the computer shut down during

I am using Aperture 1.5.6. 2j2.. I put in a flash drive in my lexar unit to upload raw files to a new project, I saw the thumbnails images were there, filled in all the information clicked upload.. left the room, came back and the computer was off.. Not sure why.. turned the computer back on and aperture opened, when clicking on the interrupted project, a window opens at the top of the screen for a second and then aperture shuts down, I did a png capture after several attempts to read and the message reads "project untitled 3 is in an inconsistent state, please wait while the inconsistencies are resolved". I can't delete the project because aperture shuts down as soon as I click on the project. What can I do to delete the project? also I tried to upload the images again and it wont upload and get this message, master did not upload, it keeps spinning, I tried another card from the same shoot and the same thing.. Is this a Aperture problem, or could the cards be corrupt from the camera? This was a paid shoot and I have another paid shoot, Tomorrow which I'm canceling until I find the problem.. Also how can I get my raw files off the flash drive? Help my photographer Friends.. I'm going to see if I can upload a card, with images that I know worked..
Oh one more this my Aperture library in on an external hard drive, I have had no problem so far,, until now, that is.

update.. I opened Aperture on my mac book pro, they uploaded fine, so I guess in the external Hard drive. But still my question remains.. What can I do?

Do I need to keep my xmp files after converting my raw files to dng?

I originally set up Lr to automatically build xmp files. Recently, I decided to go with dng files and have converted all my raw files to dng. Can I now delete all my xmp files and change my Lr setting so xmp files are no longer automatically produced?

WDKlein1000 wrote:
I think I've got this straight. My goal is to keep the xmp data with the image file (embedded into the file in the case of dng files) as well as in the Lr catalog. I still need to auto (or manually) save xmp files in order for Lr to save the xmp data internally to the dng file. Right?
Perfectly right.
WDKlein1000 wrote:
I've been converting to dng after I have done my initial Lr processing of the raw files and the sidecar files have already been produced. When I convert to dng, the side car files aren't automatically deleted.
I *think* if you say: do not delete previous raw, it keeps both xmp and original raw files. However, if you say: delete original raws upon conversion, it will delete both raw files and xmp sidecars. In other words, they are treated as a unit. So I suspect your raw files are not being deleted either, right? Note: if this is the case, then whenever you sync your folders, it's gonna wanna pull in all the original raws again. If it were me, rather than deleteing the xmp and leaving the sibling raws, I'd move both to a backup.
WDKlein1000 wrote:
I wonder if the sidecar files would ever be produced if I imported with the option to convert to dng and then wouldn't ever be editting the raw files?
They would not. If you know you are going to prefer DNG, it seems prudent to convert upon import.
WDKlein1000 wrote:
I know the sidecar files are relatively small, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to go back and delete them once the xmp data is embeded in the dng files. Right?
Right again - delete away...

Can't see backup library after accidentally deleting library

In trying to free up some hard drive space - it was almost empty - I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto Library, emptying it from the trash. Thankfully I do back up to an external hard drive, and have moved the backed up library back to my Pictures folder. However, I cannot see the library in iPhoto, even when i Option-start the app and "Choose" that library. I only get 95 photos that i have imported since the accidental deletion and moved to that back up folder after re-copying it.
Any ideas why I can't see the Library in iPhoto even after choosing it? I'm not going to have to go through and import every photo am I? (I hope not as they are stored by year/month/day in hundreds of folders).
I would also like to know how to get this to work as I have ordered a new iMac today, and will want to choose the same Library on it too.
Thanks.

HI roger,
Navigate through the iPhoto Library folder and see if all your photos are in there. I just want to make sure that the backup library does indeed have your photos in there. If it does, and iPhoto still can't see your library, maybe a data file got messed up.
In that case, you can create a new library and import from the old very easily by following the next instructions below.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

Manual delete old files before package installation?

This is more a general or best practice question.
I installed a python program (gnoduino) manually some time ago using:
python setup.py build install
I found out that this program is available via AUR and it would be comfortable to use the AUR version.
So what should I do now. Manually delete everything that the python installer installed, with hope not to forget anything. And after that install via AUR?
Or leave it installed and start the install process via AUR and "overwrite" the old files?
In the first case: How do I delete everything?
whereis gnoduino
gnoduino: /usr/bin/gnoduino /usr/share/gnoduino /usr/share/man/man1/gnoduino.1
And I know that the python files reside in "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnoduino".
Delete these files and I'm fine?

Best practice would be to rebuild that package and uninstall, or use the built but not installed copy to locate and remove the files.
Bad practice and also my method would be to install with the -f flag and overwrite it.
However this could lead to breakage and more work if it goes wrong.
[NEO]Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you. [/NEO]
