Working with RAW+JPEG

I have a Lumix GX-7, and I always shoot with RAW+JPEG. Previously when I was importing photos with Aperture, I have the option of choosing only to import RAW. Having JPEG during the shoot allow me to quickly share (via camera wifi) my photos to my iPhone Photo library using the Panasonic Image App on my iPhone.
If use the Import interface to look at my SD card, I see only 1 copy, and there's an icon with two boxes, the one in front has a "J". Just from guessing that this is probably both the RAW and the JPEG stacked together. When I import those photos, the "J" box icon shows up in my Photos app.
Question:
Do you know how to access my RAW file? I can only seem to access the JPEG file.
Can anyone confirm that Photos is indeed importing both versions of RAW and JPEG?
Note: I do not choose to keep a copy locally on my Mac. My Macbook Air is always running out of space.
Hope someone can help. Thank you.

Yes, Photos is importing the pair.
You can toggle between the RAW and the JPEG, when you go to the "Edit" view of a photo. Then the "Use RAW as Original" will become active.
Also see the Photos Help:
Reprocess imported RAW files
If you import RAW files that were already processed by another app, such as Aperture, the RAW processing of the photos might be out of date. If you’re happy with how a RAW photo looks, you can leave it as is, or you can choose to reprocess the RAW file with the most recent version of Apple’s RAW processing software. Note that your photos may look different after reprocessing, and you cannot undo this change.
Double-click a photo to open it, click Edit in the toolbar, then choose Image > Reprocess RAW.

Working with RAW files in iPhoto 5.0.4 and Elements 4.0.1

I take photos in RAW mode and download them to iPhoto. When I try to edit the photo in iPhoto, the picture is a tiny little file that is impossible to enlarge with any sort of clarity. Also, the word "RAW" does not appear anywhere on the iPhoto window like I read it is supposed to.
When I drag the file to Photoshop Elements, I get an editing window that has none of the tools usually associated with JPEG files. I get a separate window in which I can darken or lighten the image, that's it.
Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. No one in their right mind would ever use RAW if this is how it works.
Any ideas?

Hi Jack!
If you're new working with RAW files, your right, it just doesn't make sense. RAW <imho> is a bit overrated. One thing you will need to keep in mind when shooting in RAW, is you will still need to take a well exposed image. What RAW files will allow are CHANGES in all areas of the image v. JPEG which may allow you to ADJUST a few settings in the image. My only suggestion would be to kepp playing around with PSE until you get the hang of it, it is an excellent image editing software. But realize, a well exposed JPEG and RAW file are hard to tell apart...
Personally, I do not directly download RAW files through iPhoto but will create a folder and download to here, and simply drage folder to iPhoto to import (which are then 'converted' into JPEG files). This way I have the original RAW images safely located outside of iPhoto as well as in iPhoto. You should set Elements as your choice of application to edit files inside iPhoto.
Good luck, Rick

Working with RAW files

I have a Nikon D200 and have been taking some pictures in their RAW format (.NEF) and have some questions. It transfers the pictures fine but then does some other weird stuff.
Sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, when working in iPhoto, it changes the format to a jpeg and while others remain RAW. I looked in my iPhoto Library in my user folder and it looks like iPhoto automatically converts every RAW picture into a jpeg. But in the iPhoto window, sometimes you're looking at the jpeg and sometimes you're looking at the RAW. Is there some way to make iPhoto act more consistently? And can I make iPhoto stop automatically creating a jpeg version of each RAW photo?
Also, I exported some RAW pictures as TIFF's to work with in photoshop. Once there, the pictures only have a dpi resolution of 72 pixels per square inch. That's way too low for my purposes. Does anybody know if there is a setting or something where I can change this?

I don't take RAW, but I can get you started with some info to help you out:

Working with RAW files in PSE9: Doable or better to use PSE12?

I have PSE 9 and will soon get a camera with RAW capability. I notice that Adobe no longer supports PSE 9. Am I in for trouble if I don't upgrade to PSE 12 since I don't know how to work with RAW files? It sounds as if I will need something to convert RAW files? Where do I get it? Is it a big deal for a beginner with no software skills?

You can download a free DNG Converter from Adobe and then convert your RAWs to DNGs which can be used in PSE9.
You don't need PSE12, but if you want to purchase PSE 12, you get the most current features in the Raw processor (which in my opinion is a huge improvement over what is available in PSE9), and you don't need the extra step of converting to DNG.

Photoshop CS2 will not work with RAW images in the Minolta DimAge A2. It use to work fine

I have used Photoshop CS 2 with my DimAge A2 for over 5 years in the RAW format. Now it will not work with RAW with my camera. I am using Vista 64.Any answers ? Thanks

It would seem to me that you have probably had to reinstall Photoshop CS 2. If that is the case, then you should download and install Camera Raw 3.7. The version that was on your install disk was updated several times. And one of those updates probably included support for your camera. Install ACR 3.7 and see if that helps.

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
CS5 is history and it is not longer supported. There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

Working with RAW images without lens profile?

Does it make sense to work on RAW images if no lens profile exist for the used specific lens?
I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion.
How did you work with RAW images?

There are many advantages to using RAW, so yes it makes sense to work on RAW images even if no profile exists for the lens.

How did you work with RAW images?
You can create your own lens profiles. Or you can manually adjust each image. Or you can set up presets for different focal lengths. There's a lot of ways to go.

Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs using Aperture or Lightroom and perhaps Photoshop?

Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs in Aperture and Photoshop, or do I need a more powerful MacBook ? The relative lack of weight of the AIr is what attracts me to it.

For doing Photography with RAW files in either Aperture or Photoshop, the new MacBook Air is fine, but for Photoshop CS6 some of the filters and plugins really need a better graphics card and plenty of RAM.
You'll also want an external disk if you are going to be doing lots of shooting.
Summary:
Yes, you can use an air but you'll want external storage and at least 8GB of ram.
Or go MacBook Pro with 16GB ram with the 650M card.

Working with Raw files in Aperture

I bought a DSL are camera recently and have been shooting RAW
Naturally my library is filling up with raw files
My question is - when I want to export a very high quality image how do I get it out of Aperture and keep it as a large ihigh-quality image in raw?
The export options that I have - from dragging to the desktop to sharing as- all end up leaving me with a JPEG image which might only be two or 3 MB. The raw file can often be 10 or 15 MB
So what is the best way to output the full image?

I have a RAW file (22 mbs), I can see from your helpful guidance that I can go into Aperture/Preferences/Export and set the export format to (for example) Tiff 16 bit. When I do that the exported Tiff file is 53 mbs, sounds like I have a got a pretty full version there with all the information store in it so no compaints.
I have another option, export as jpeg in 'original size'. When I set that and then 'Share as email', the resulting image is 2.2 mbs. Do you think a 2.2mb jpeg can be the full high quality image ?
My knowledge of this area, isas you can see, a bit limited. I do understand that if I was sending the image to a printer to get a high quality image, I would send him the 53 mb Tiff file, but is the 2.2 mb jpeg a lower resolution cut doewn version of the original ?
Regards
Danny

PSE 6 - fixed the organiser to work with raw now editor won't load

Could use some pointers - tech savvy but no expert :-)
Couldn't get the organiser to work with CR2 files from the canon 50D. Download camera raw 5.4 plug-in. Deleted old version to remove the two entries in plug-in issue. Organiser seems to work as expected - except for the odd hang. When I now try to load the editor I get 'file not found'. Which file ?

Ok so I worked out how to get into recovery mode. Turns out I was doing it wrong! I used an external USB drive to access recovery mode.
I ran disk utility which identified and fixed some errors on the HD. I thought this might solve the problem but when I restarted the same problem occurred. I then restored my time machine backup which thankfully worked.
I tried installing mavericks again! Upon restarting and completing the install, I got the message 'OSX has been installed. Your computer will now restart'. After the countdown had finished I got the beach ball which span eternally again, just like last time. After about 10 mins I did a hard reset and again OSX won't load.
Lame...

Working with Raw files from newer camera in CS or CS2

I have a Canon 40d camera. I'm still using CS at home and CS2 at work.
In order to work with these files in these earlier versions of PS, I have to first convert them to DNG files. Though not a complete drag, it is a bit time-consuming. Am I sort of stuck with this unless I upgrade to CS3?
Also, (and I realize it may not be off topic), is there any particular reason Canon can't use the same type of RAW file for all the cameras, instead of a new RAW file type, or why have they not embraced DNG support?
Best, David

freedda,
I know you have probably read this many times before. But ACR in Photoshop CS3 is vastly improved. There are numerous new controls that provide you with much greater flexibility with your raw images. Unless there are other factors preventing you from upgrading, it is my opinion that you would find the upgrade well worth the investment.

Working with RAW Files and JPG

I have a high end digital camera that takes pictures in RAW format as well as JPG format. When I import the photos, it only imports the JPG format. Is there a way to import RAW photo's into iPhoto?

It does (and should by default). However after it stores them in the ORIGINALS folder, it creates a .jpg copy in the MODIFIED folder and uses that by the looks of things. (Use Spotlight or Finder to see if you've actually imported any raw's).
You should see the RAW's displayed in the iPhoto window after import. If not, check the connection settings in your camera menu ... and make sure you are using a program or creative mode (my 20D does not take raw's in the preset or Green mode).
To work on RAW's you'd need to go Adobe Photoshop with Adobe Camera Raw (incl.in CS2) or Apple Aperture.... now significantly cheaper.
