Comparison and sorting of raw (NEF) & JPG in LR

I am interested in importing raw and jpg and then comparing them.

I want to apply different effects on the raw files to see if I can match or better the JPGs, returned by the camera

(I use the Nikon).

Background:

In the past, I used L:R to view my Nikon NEF files side by side with the camera JPG files and discovered the amazing versatility of the NEF files to solve problems in the image files and so I always preferred to work with RAW files.

But I recently read a discussion of NikonView (or maybe it was different, software by Nikon NX2?) compared to LR in which several people agreed that Nikon is better to render his own SHIP as ADOBE files and they suggested that it was because the Nikon engineers know the exact process (algorithms?), they used to extract and calculate the chip data and thus can better engineer the right to the editing environment even if Adobe uses a "best estimate".  I have no idea if this is true, but it seemed plausible.

Now I do not have the latest version of the Nikon software but I wanted to see if I could compare jpg 'good' of the camera to the image of the raw data in LR.

(Without having to buy the softwareor even open a free demo)

The first thing I did was import NEF files and JPGs as separate importations in the same catalog, by changing my import settings.

.

It was easy to notice the difference on my screen. (How does that translate to print, I don't know.)

What surprised me, is that the jpgs from the camera immediately look better than the NAVE "Unproessed" files.

(When it is properly captured.)  I do not expect to be as easy to improve however as the raw files.

But I couldn't the Raw file to resemble the JPG?

I tried to assign the NEF files my favorite camera profiles (used portrait put in camera)

Even on eidting my first RAW file, I noticed that if I wanted to match the jpg files, I use other adjustments such as contrast, recovery etc.

I intend to make quick mass-settings for RAW files to see if I could match or beat the jpg for the overall image quality

I wanted to use synchronization to copy those affecting each file.so NAVE, I started sort NEF files and JPG files into different groups and soon discovered I don't know how to do this:

Is there a QUICK WAY TO SORT / GROUP of TYPES of FILES IN LR?

Can I select just the RAW file or just the JPG files?

I know that I can sort the metadata files, but cannot figure out how to sort by extension.

I realize that I can do to work around the problem by deleting the entire folder in the catoalgue and sorting using windows explore (XP) and then re-import them separately.

But I think that there should be an easy way to sort directly in LR.  But I'm afraid, there is no.  Am I wrong?

Once I sort, I would be able to mass - apply settings (such as contrast settings) to a set or another and to do some side - to - side comparisons between RAW files and jpg files and make the most of my photos.

To select by file type, go to the metadata Panel in the library filter (if it is not displayed check

( Display filter bar on the view menu). Click on one of the panels of meta data, and then select the file type. Select the type of file you want.

  • I have a Nikon D 810 camera and Photoshop CS5.  I downloaded camera 8.8 Raw and DNG converter.  I can't open the raw (.nef) files, and treat them with the DNG Converter. What's not?

    I have a Nikon D 810 camera and Photoshop CS5.  I downloaded camera 8.8 Raw and DNG converter.  I can't open the raw (.nef) files, and treat them with the DNG Converter. What's not?  Thank you!

    As I said earlier, the DNG Converter works ONLY on files, not on files.

    Do not target the individual files.  Target Of THE FOLDER that contains them.

    Make sure that said FILE DO NOT contain any other files , you have already settled before, or your settings will be eliminated when re-converted to DNG.

    No need to write long explanations.  More messages are, the more chances you have of receiving relevant responses.

  • Separate the NEF + JPG

    I made the mistake of importing files like NEF + JPG in recent years and have a jumble of NAVE, JPG and NEF + JPG thumbnails in my library.  I'm going back through my files, delete all except a few and I want to only keep the raw files.  So, I want to separate the NEF + JPG in the library, so I can keep some of the NAVE with all the Keywords I already have in place.

    This is the only way I can think to do.

    1. Write all of the xmp metadata (filter on the NEF file type, select all and Ctrl S).
    2. Always filtered throughout the nave files add a "jpg" text filter to select only the NEF + JPG inches.
    3. Set the red label (all wire have been cleared in advance).
    4. Remove everything from the library.
    5. Change the preferences library don't combine Raw + Jpg.
    6. Synchronize library and reimport all files.
    7. Filter on the red label and type JPG file, slect all and remove all the jpg files.

    I'm not worried about losing develop the story.

    Is there an easier way to do this?

    Thanks in advance

  • Conversion of CS3 RAW (NEF) for D7200

    I am a continuous user of CS 3 and I just bought a Nikon D7200. The converter of RAW (NEF) files, that I used with my D90 is no longer applicable.

    I checked on the Adobe site and it seems that the upgrade to 9 RAW converter should fix this for me, but it doesn't.

    Is there a solution that does not require an updated version of the PS?

    I tried the DNG Converter and it works and I'm reluctant to create duplicate of 25 MB files.

    I checked on the Adobe site and it seems that the upgrade to 9 RAW converter should fix this for me, but it doesn't.

    Devices supported by Camera Raw

    As you say, the D7200 has been initially supported by Camera Raw 9.0 but versions of Camera Raw are compatible with different versions of Photoshop.

    See the compatibility list here that shows that Camera Raw 9 is only compatible with CS6 and Cloud versions.

    Is there a solution that does not require an updated version of the PS?

    Only the DNG Converter or buying Lightroom then convert to DNG.

    I tried the DNG Converter and it works and I'm reluctant to create duplicate of 25 MB files.

    If you stay with the CS3 version, then convert to DNG is your best option.

  • Save RAW as jpg in the original script file

    Hello

    1.

    I'm looking for advice for the rest of the script process.

    -Make changes to a series of images RAW (multiple files in multiple folders)

    -Save each set of RAW to JPG files in subfolders in the original folders. (plan B - it's ok to save in the original folders)

    -Close Photoshop

    2.

    Is it possible to apply a script when images are added to a directory or something like that, so that I can trigger the script in some way?

    Better and thank you in advance,

    / :-) Andreas

    If the Raw file records are a branch of the file system. in other words there is a root folder where all other raw files folders are subfolders of a branch.  X wrote this script for you. You can search Image Processor Pro download and install it.  Photoshop menu File > Automate > Image Processor Pro...   Its a plugin script and sound where other plugin is in file > controller.

  • I have photoshop CS5.  Cannot open raw (NEF) of my Nikon D 750

    My computer is dell with windows Vista.  I have photoshop CS5 12.0.4, including Bridge CS5 4.0.5 & Camera raw 6.7.  I can't open downloaded raw (NEF) of my Nikon D 750 photos.

    You need Camera raw 8.7 or later to open these files. You can use the free dng or update converter as less PS CS6.

  • Could not import raw NEF images in items 10

    Can someone help me please? I have already installed an update of the plugin and restarted my computer.

    I have a Nikon D 750, which had to be supported with the latest plugin download.

    Melissa,

    I did some googling, and it seems that your D750 needs 8.7 ACR (Adobe Camera Raw version 8.7).  My camera needs ACR 8.3, but apparently 11 elements does not support this update. I have a feeling that your 10 PES is the same (no support ACR 8.7) for your camera.

    So, we can:

    (1) use the supplied software to Nikon for RAW files, convert to jpeg, and then open in PSE,

    (2) download: free Adobe, something called a converter DNG (?) that creates a DNG file to open to post-secondary studies, or

    (3) buy a newer version of elements, where the version supported with ACR IS compatible with your camera

    I'm not sure 100% accuracy of this info, but so far, that's what I found. Personally, I do not have these options.  I want to be able to work in PSE raw, but having to spend ANOTHER $100 or so just for this feature seems wrong.

  • How can I batch save my adjusted raw than jpg in Lightroom 4 images

    I have a job that I imported to Lightroom 4.  I made adjustments 40 images and would like to save as files jpg into lots with the saved LR adjustments.  So far, I know I can save the raws than jpg, but the adjustments are not saved.  I wouldn't have to open each image individually to save these changes.  Thanks for any help!

    Highlight the 40 images, then open the export dialog and set your options. There is no "Save" option or "Save as" option in Lightroom. Given that Lightroom does not modify your original image, it is necessary to export copies derived for any purpose you need.

  • Where 11 items stores settings raw to jpg photos?

    1. 11 items, I use "open as" and select camera raw as the type.
    2. I have to open a jpg image and it will open in Camera Raw 7.4 for elements 11.
    3. After having made some adjustments in CR, I click on the 'Open' button and the image opens in 11 elements.
    4. I click on FILE > CLOSE and a popup asking if I want to save the image.  I click on no.
    5. Then perform steps 1 and 2 again and the jpg image opens in Czech Republic but this time he keeps all the settings that I have done before in Czech Republic.

    I looked in the folder containing the jpg photos, but I do not see a DNG file for jpg image.  So where CR saves the settings I did to jpg image?

    Thank you

    Skyzoomer

    Adjustments will be not visible in the original jpg file, unless you open with Camera RAW.  If you want the changes to be visible in the jpg with all software to look at a picture, you need to open the file with Camera RAW and save it as a jpg file - if you don't want to overwrite the original jpg file or use a different file name or save to a different folder.

    The original jpg file contains all settigs slider Camera RAW and unmodified image data, so changes are non-destructive which means that you can open at any time with Camera RAW and make changes.
