• Convert previously converted from raw with Adobe DNG converter files?

  It seems that I'm not able to convert my raw files that have already been previously converted to DNG with the dng converter.  I am wanting to start editing everything new with the raw image, but before I can start editing a raw image, I have to convert it to a .dng.  Why doesn't the converter program let me convert the raw file again and give me the opportunity to appoint differently than the first file?  What I am doing wrong?

  If not, is it possible I can say ACR (whether in bridge or photoshop) to get rid of all the changes made on the first converted .dng file and start over again with image in camera?

  Thanks for any help!

  I don't know why your DNG Converter has stopped working.  You have successfully updated to a later version?  But you don't need to go through this process again.  In Bridge, just click on the images and there is an option to reset the Camera Raw settings.  Or, inside of Camera Raw, press the Alt key and a button will change to "Reset".  In both cases, all the camera raw settings are erased, giving you the image as it has been downloaded.

• Should I keep the old windows after the re-installation?

  Original title: Reinstalling windows

  I have re-installed windows on my pc. He kept my old windows, but I want to know if I should keep or remove it completely.

  If you ask on the folder Windows.old so if you don't need all the files stored there, for example Documents, etc., then you can remove it.

• What version of files into a double film should I keep/delete?

  A lack of space on my Macbook Pro! Identified a large number of pictures and duplicate movies, and I have no idea which you want to remove.  You want to be able to continue to view/use in iPhoto and keep their keywords, etc..  Tried a few tests but does not appear to match or I'm embarrassed myself.

  If each film (or photo) is at three locations, the file which should I keep (and why?)?

  1 - user/pictures/iphoto...ibrary/masters/...

  2 - documents / my videos

  3 user/library/applicationsupport/mobilesync (guessing the synchronization of the iPhone)

  10.9.5 OS

  iPhoto 9.5.1

  Thank you very much! I google and read and google some more and I'm just very confused.

  Are those iPhoto in iPhoto Library/Masters.

  No idea what Documents / my videos. But no Apple app does this folder.

  Mobile Sync is usually the bak to the top of your phone.

• I'm new to Lr, can someone tell me if there is a limit of size PRACTICE to a Lightroom catalog file? Should I keep the file size within a certain range of size of GB and then create a new? Thank you I would be grateful of any advice.

  I'm new to Lr, can someone tell me if there is a limit of size PRACTICE to a Lightroom catalog file? Should I keep the file size within a certain range of size of GB and then create a new? Thank you I would be grateful of any advice.

  He has no such limit, and in fact some users in this domain and other forums report catalogues over 1/2 million pictures works well.

  The idea to create multiple catalogs because you don't want to get too big catalog file size is a bad idea that you should never think of it again.

• How to convert XMP files in JPEG ones?

  I need to convert the files xmp 16 jpeg or tiff ones.

  The XMP files are metadata files, if you are wanting to print the text on metadata associated with these 16 images? You will usually see them once a raw (like the NAVE or CRW) file is processed by Adobe Camera Raw. The XMP files are not images.

• How can I safely convert CR2 files to DNG after importation of the catalogue

  Images on my laptop of 2 photoshoots in the studio today were EXPORTED from your cell phone as catlog and imported on the desktop in the catalog.

  I imported without moving the files anywhere because I was instructed to move this folder to its final resting place.

  The 125 images were importred in LR4, but I see that they are always CR2 files.

  Is there a way to convert these guys here inplace DNG? or is it safe to reimport these. I don't want the concert of side car.

  Convert to DNG (Menu library) - do not re - import.

• What metadata are cooked in the vs file stored on the XMP file?

  I have read articles and even the cc manual and learned that some of the metadata is cooked in the file itself, I have to confirm that (which don't have the manual, but I am parinoid I read as bad now), as well as understand what information is. Reason: The company that I work has had problems with files that have been moved around location and I hope that the bridge is the answer for that. So if the information is cooked in the file itself, and the file is moved, a quick search in bridge will always evoke the file. Thank you for your time.

  Hi akjackson,

  > The company I work for has had problems with files that have been moved around location and I hope that the bridge is the answer for that. >

  You can see for yourself in Bridge by selecting "View > Show Hidden Files." The XMP files are sidecar that store settings for the raw files of most of the cameras. Files NEF or CR2, for example, will the XMP file in the folder even if you kept the default Camera Raw default preference to save the settings of the image in .xmp sidecar files. If you copy or move your file to another location, however, the XMP file will go with it. Just do not use the option to save the image to a database of Camera Raw settings if you want to be as sure as possible that metadata from anywhere that the file will go. The XMP file should not be visible to travel even if you are burning a DVD with the main file, or move it on a network. It will simply go with the parent file.

  Nothing can be written as a normal raw file, so the XMP file is needed. However, you can save in the DNG raw with your changes intact Camera Raw, as well as key words that you've added, without losing your XMP data. DNG is a special wrapper that keeps the file raw inside.  Other file formats also store metadata in the file itself, rather use the XMP sidecar files.

  So basically, if your business loses its files, it really has nothing to do with the XMP sidecar files. It has to do with the not not using metadata, including keywords, to search for files, and/or a good system to organize the files themselves within your network. Bridge, btw, can only see the drives that are connected, so make sure that you do not send your files offline readers and optical media, and bridge to know where they are still waiting. It will not. If you need that, you need a digital asset manager.

  If you are still feeling paranoid, or need to prove to your bosses (that is the company, after all), prove it to yourself by the fire from the Finder, a DVD with files camera raw, DNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc. files, after adding keywords or make changes to the image files. Remove the DVD and put it into another computer running the bridge. You have moved the files and you should be able to see their metadata always there, and files camera raw will have their files XMP on the DVD if show you hidden files in the bridge while viewing.

  If 64-bit Vista - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

• Can I save changes PS in an xmp file to be read by LR?

  I ask this because I have hundreds of photos that were taken on a 5 d with a striped filter, so I'm treat brands as the dust bunnies and get rid of them in the same way, using spot healing and for scratches, whtever function is called when you use the spot Healing Brush tool but you 'draw lines '.
  However, I am one of those who has deplorable performance in Lightroom edits then after that maybe 20 spot heals the computer slows to be unusable. So that I can send the file in PS/CS6, as the same thing can't here.
  I quickly fix all my spots and stripes and then I seem to have only the option of saving the file as a TIF to LR.
  What I'd like to do, is save the xmp file, and then have LR update the image given these changes xmp.
  Is this possible or should I continue to have the additional TIF file?

  If the photos are in RAW format, you can open them using Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6 to use the spot Healing Brush tool and the changes will be written in an xmp file, which can then be read by Lightroom.

• Camera Raw does not read the previously saved XMP files (Canon 60 d)

  Hello

  I want to ask if this is a real problem or just me something wrong.

  I open the RAW with Canon 60 d (Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw 6.6) files, then I do what has not (cropping, exposure changes, hone... etc), then I click on the done button. Camera Raw saves XMP files with RAW files. After that, I want to make some changes more, I open the RAW files, but Camera RAW doesn't "remember" what he did a few minutes before. I guess that it isn't read the XMP files it created.

  If it's me or it's some sort of bug?

  I don't have this problem when editing with Canon 400 d RAW files.

  Thanks for your time!

  There is a difference between not remembering your changes and you see do not the changes you did just.

  If you use embedded thumbnails you will not see any changes, but you can see a shield in corner superior human resources indicating the changes.

  You will see the version published in the preview.

  If you want to see montages in the thumb, you should use one of the options HQ.

  I hope this helps.

• XMP file for JPEG files are ignored?

  I just exported all my original files from Aperture so I can use them in Lightroom. While exporting the files to open, I also did the XMP sidecar files.

  Now, I have imported all in Lightroom and to my surprise, no JPEG files has a note on it. I know not all metadata can be handled by Lightroom esspecialy adjustments through the opening, but I would have liked an arbitrary value as a side of support files. After that some research, I discovered that one of my RAW (canon CR2 file) files had a side, so it's very strange.

  So now for my question, can I force Lightroom to watch the XMP files for JPEG images? Or y at - there a plugin for that? It would be a great addition to Lightroom aswel if this could be just an option selectable by the user.

  Thanks in advance for your time!

  I tried to load up my aperture via lightroom library, but that has not worked as it crashed a few times.

  Depends on what you mean my "loading". Lightroom has a command file > Plugin Extras > Import to library opening which is the best way to do the job.

  Alternatively, the Aperture metadata > IPTC write to Original will save keywords etc back to the files. The opening file > originals to move can then put all managed files (ie the pictures in the Aperture library) records standard Finder and you can then import into Lightroom from them. I have a lot more information here.

• I do not want the XMP files

  Hi guys, I'm relatively new to Lightroom, and I have a problem about the XMP files next to my CR2 files. Basically, before, when I exported, all the metadata and the changes I made to the photo in lightroom will be in the photo, but now all the changed data are on the XMP file, and the CR2 file is just the same as before. I DON'T want to have a (XMP) file and want to just have everything stored in the CR2 files. How could I do it?

  Thank you

  Unfortunately, it is said that if I can save only the metadata of the original with JEPC, FFT, PNG, PSD, and DNG file. However, my camera shoots with CR2, he said that if she is CR2 it would be 'saved to the sidecar beside the original photo files,' I don't want. Where is the settings to make the metadata save inside my original photo, or even create a new photo with the same format?

  Basically, Lightroom, like other RAW processors, is a non-destructive editor and WILL NOT change the original image but keep all changes in the catalog.

  The option you have in Lightroom's export as DNG or use the XMP sidecar for CR2 files

• Dear Adobe... Why should I keep 2.2 GB of useless Patchfiles on my expensive SSD?

  c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\AdobePatchFiles\

  Why should I keep these old patchfiles on my expensiv intel SSD 750?

  OK, it's "only 2.2 GB" some would say... but if every company has a strategy of ugly coding I lose 30% of my storage for useless old patchfiles.

  I read somewhere that the files are necessary for soft adobe know what updates are applied.

  Come on.. I mean there's probably a smarter alternative then lose this amount of data.
