What is your workaround - removing RAW files from iPad without a computer

Hello
Over the last couple days I have searched virtually the entire web for a solution for a photo workflow that would allow me to only have my ipad with me when I am on a vacation and still being able to review my images without running out of memory.
Here's the issue on which I couldn't find any solution:
When using the ipad with the camera connection kit (CCK) then the import function will always copy the raw files along with the jpg to the ipad. There is no way of selecting to only import the jpg files.
(At least if you have only 1 CF card slot - Canon 5DMk2)
I already wrote to apple asking for offering that option in their importing dialogue.
Unfortunately it appears that many photographers also ran into the very same issue - but other than buying a 128GB ipad there appears to be no workaround.
Does anybody know a decent solution?
My goal would be:
1. Import the RAW files to iphoto on the ipad
2. Create smaller jpg versions
3. Delete the originals in iphoto to free up space
4. Use the smaller versions on the ipad for showing/reviewing

You don't need to do raw processing on iPad, if you shoot in RAW+JPEG mode.  Then, you can preview JPEG on iPad and leave RAW processing for when you get home to your computer.  The trouble is that iPad imports both RAW+JPEG and runs out of space; which is difficult to recover because iPad lacks "delete all raw" button.
Thousands of photographers have been asking for this workflow for years.  Apple knows, but Apple chose to do nothing.  I'm giving up on Apple.
Does anyone know of a 3rd party app which can use Camera Connection Kit to import only JPEG versions of photos from an SD card or a camera?  Does this app allow one to select all pictures and delete them after they are no longer needed on the iPad?
Remember: This has to function in the middle of nowhere, using just a camera and iPad.  No computer!  Many photographers prefer to travel light.

    What happens if you remove a profile from iPad? Can you get it back?

    Hi Gumby694,
    You can only get the profile back if you plug into a computer that has the configuration profile in Apple Configurator or get the profile wirelessly from an MDM.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Fuji raw files from iPad Camera Roll to Lightroom Mobile

    I can not transfer Fuji XE2 Raw files from my iPad Camera Roll into  Lightroom Mobile. They will transfer from Lightroom 5.4 into mobile and can be edited which proves mobile can handle them. However not a lot of good for location use!
    Does anyone else have this issue? Is there another way of transferring files within the iPad other than from camera roll?

    Thanks for the quick response, although disappointing to hear. Surely that rather defeats the object!
    Once you have them on your regular computer why would you then want to transfer and edit them on an iPad? I'm off on a weeks holiday and want to work on them while away.
    There are other iPad apps that can import raw files but as I already use Lightroom I was hoping to use their mobile app.
    What a let down!!

  • Will we ever be able to import RAW files from iPad camera roll into Lightroom Mobile?

    Is this a planned feature, or should I look elsewhere for iPad photo editing?
    I only shoot in RAW and I would sometimes like to do a quick edit in the field. As it stands, Lightroom Mobile is a completely useless application for me. Needing to import the photos to my Macbook in order to use a dumbed-down version of Lightroom makes no sense to me. Why do I need Lightroom Mobile if I need to have my computer with me to use it anyways?
    Without this feature, I don't quite understand what Lightroom Mobile is supposed to accomplish. Is it purely for people who only own a desktop and need to perform basic edits on the go? Is that a large enough demographic to develop an entire app? Even if it is meant for only those people, it would still likely be far more useful to them if they could import RAW photos in the field and not have to stop by their studio/home to import and move into a collection first.

    The likely real reason why Adobe doesn't do this yet even though many people have requested it is that it would cost them dearly in bandwidth and storage capacities. Right now only smallish lossy compressed, downscaled dngs or simple jpegs travel to and from Adobe's servers which is tenable. Sending full raw files from 24+ MP cameras is probably not something they can realistically do yet. Having the iPad try to generate the lossy dng will likely show how very low powered they are in comparison to a simple laptop and is likely not yet a realistic solution so you'd still have to send the file online and have the dng generated by a server.
    I use the mobile thing for simple iPad slideshows and simple portfolios. The color is really good as the current generation of iPad screens is very well done with close to sRGB gamut. I'll sometimes do some simple edits but it is really not very useful for that yet. It shows promise but is not useful as a laptop replacement yet on trips. You're better off getting a lightweight laptop (many cheapo ultralight windows ones out there nowadays and the MacBook Airs are great for this) and running the full Lightroom on that if you are traveling.

  • Importing RAW files from iPad into Aperture

    Hello,
    While on the go, I used the camera connection kit to import some RAW files (.NEF from a Nikon D300s) into my iPad directly from the SD card. The files where correctly imported, they display perfectly in the iPad screen and I was surprised to see no lagging when zooming such big files.
    Now the bad thing. When I got back home I tried to import such files into a new Aperture project. When I connect the iPad to my mac, although it takes some time, all the pictures are correctly displayed, but when I hit the import button, aperture keeps turning the task indicator wheel without ever importing a single picture! Cancelling the import task does not work and the only way to get Aperture to work again is by force quitting it.
    Any ideas?
    Ps.: all my software is updated and running the latest versions (Aperture 3, mac OS X 10.6.4, etc)

    The reason why the iPad shows the images so quick is because it is not showing the actual raw data like Aperture does. Instead the iPad does the same as the camera does when showing the photo on your LCD. Each RAW file has an embedded JPG preview. The iPad (and your camera) show that preview image. There is no raw processing happening.
    Not sure why copying or importing to Aperture causes you trouble. As soon as I plug my iPad into the USB to my PC it shows up as a folder. I can copy the files from there to my computer.

  • Export RAW files from iPad to NAS

    Hello everyone,
    I've been a while wondering if it is possible to quit personal computers for my Photo Workflow, that involves RAW file formats. The ideal workflow should be like this:
    Take a photo in RAW+JPEG.
    Import the photo in an iPad Air 2 with iOS 8 via SD Card Adapter.
    Work with the image with the existing RAW editing apps, Like Photogene 4 or SnapSeed.
    Save the original RAW and edited stuff in a Synology NAS.
    The problem is the fourth step. It's impossible for me to extract them intact from iPad to NAS. I had recently a false positive when I found FileBrowser, which is a Finder-like app that let's you take RAWs from an album and copy to a network storage. BUT surprise! The filesize of that files is EXACTLY the same of the JPGs, around 2,5 MB, so these .CR2 files have been altered.
    ¿Is there some way to export RAW files from an iPad?

    The following claims to transfer RAW. Not sure that it will work in the circumstance you describe but may be something to check out: http://www.photosync-app.com/photosync/en/features.html#cluster_1

  • Removing RAW files from iPhoto 11?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently upgraded to Lion and iPhoto 11. I shoot my photos simultaneously in both RAW and JPEG. My version of iPhoto, before switching to iPhoto 11, did not recognize RAW, which was fine because I could directly import the JPEG version on my laptop and then archive the RAW to an external hard drive.
    But now that iPhoto 11 does recognize RAW it imported both pictures from my last shooting in its database...
    How can I safely move those RAW files to my external disc while at the same time leaving the JPEG version in iPhoto?
    Thanks for your help.

    Export them from iPhoto (File -> Export Kind -> Original) and then delete them from iPhoto.
    When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a Jpeg preview of the Raw, so the value of shooting both is debatable.
    Regards
    TD

  • How to transfer files from ipad to new computer

    I am trying to find out how to transfer files, (Music, Videos, Ect.) from my iPad to a another computer. I lost all my files on my computer and it won't let me recover my files from my iPad and save them on my new install.

    Honestly there is no real way unless these are items you have purchased from iTunes.  There is an option to Transfer Purchases from iPad but these are only going to be Apps, Music, Videos, etc. that you purchased and downloaded from the App Store/iTunes (you can also do the same by just opening up iTunes on your computer, going to iTunes Store, then going to Purchases, and downloading your purchases).
    If they are files that you haven't purchased through the App Store/iTunes then you won't be able to transfer those back to your computer.

  • How do I transfer my files from iPad to NEW computer?

    PLEASE help!!!! My old computer crashed so I had to buy a NEW computer. I have all my music, apps and books on my iPad. I trried to do the "transfer apps" in the iTunes but it only transfered my apps NOT my music or books. All my music and books are from 3rd party sites ( not bought from iTunes). My books are mainly PDF files. I just need to get into the iPad somehow and drag and drop my folders back into iTunes. I tried doing the "show hidden folders" but I still get nothing Can anybody help me? I don't want to lose all my books or music!

    I am going to lose everything I spent so much time downloading.
    Don't worry. If you've been backing up your downloads, you can't lose anything. That's what backups are for - to prevent data loss in the event of a crashed hard drive or other unforeseen catastrophy.
    If I KNEW how to restore my Library from the most recent backup of my crashed computer I'm sure I would have done so right?
    OK, so I'll assume from that comment that you have been making backups - which is a very good start - you just don't know how to restore them, right? If you tell us how you made the backups (what software you use, where you back up to), then I'm sure someone will be able to advise on how to restore from those backups. In the meantime, the user guide for your backup software should have a section on restoring from backups.

  • How do I save files from iPad to Dropbox without connecting to computer?

    I understand how to move files from iPad to a computer using email or ITunes. I would like to be able to save a word processing file directly from my iPad wirelessly to my Dropbox folder. I have tried several apps without success, including Pages Copy to WebDav (I get an error even though I think I have entered the user name and password right; is there a special way to designate the server address). Anyway is there a method or an app that will allow me to save a Word or text file from Ipad to Dropbox. Thanks for your help.

    I assume that you have Pages and the DropBox app on the iPad ... so do this and it will work.
    From Pages - email the file to yourself. Tap the Wrench icon and select Share and Print - and then select Email Document. Select the file type from the pop up window - then email the document.
    Go to the mail app - open the email - tap and hold down on the document icon - select Open in - Open in DropBox.
