"Shrinking" when importing RAW files?

I save RAW (CR2) files to a folder on my hard drive.  I then import/copy them to the catalogue (No. DNG conversion).  Most of the files are 18-20meg.  However, when I mouse over the image in the library, it shows that most of them like 15meg yet CR2.  What happens here?  I also don't create previews (yet), in most cases.  Also I use LR 5.5 on OS10.9.

Yes, I need to learn how to store / organize photos more efficiently. In the meantime, I want to assure you that i've got full access to data for editing. After all, that's why I'm shooting in RAW.

Can someone help me out here?

Where you see the size of the file in the library?

Are you confused Megapixels with Mo?

The megapixels are determined by the width and the height of the sensors and data relatively constant for a particular configuration of brute, while the megabytes would vary based on the compressibility of the raw data and embedded preview JPG which are more compressible than if there are smooth areas and less noise due to the ISO settings, so the size of files themselves may vary considerably.

  • I see my .nef being adjusted automatically when importing raw files

    Sorry if this is a stupid question or answered before, but when I import files from my CF card in lightroom, import the files I can see them coming as I pulled on them and then adjust automatically to be darker.  I import with no presets.  Is this a function of lightroom see what camera images where shot with it and then make an adjustment based on the camera?  Is there anyway to eliminated adjustments because the files are imported.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Develop settings when importing RAW + jpeg

    When you import my D700 NEF files, I apply the sharpening preset landscape and I'm happy with the results.  However on my Fuji X 20 I import RAW + jpeg rather than just RAW, in this situation if I use the landscape sharpening sharpening preset is applied for JPEG and RAW format, leading to the already sharp in-camera jpeg being much more sharp.  If on the other hand I have not to use any to develop pr - game no sharpening or noise reduction is applied to the jpeg format and a minimal amount applied to the file RAW, more or less what I want but I want the sharpening of landscape higher applied to RAW files.  Is - this here anyway to change pre-sets frame so that they have only applied to RAW files when importing RAW + jpeg pairs?

    Dave Rosser

    In my view, the answer is no, you cannot apply a preset upon import, depending on the type of file.

    What you can do is after import you, filter on the Type of file and place it in JPG format and apply another preset that changes the sharpening of the filtered set of files, then go back and disable the filter and works with both sets of images you want.

    To filter by file Type, you must go to the library network, activate the filter with the backslash bar-key if necessary, then select metadata and change one of the columns existing filter to tell the Type of file or add a new column of file Type.

    Once you have created and applied the filter, you can save it as a preset filter that can be applied by the predefined filter selector to the very good and just above the strip of thumbnails at the bottom, same mode develop.

    You could do one for raw and jpg in case you want to swap between the two, and if you shoot jpg with more than one camera model, you can add the model of camera for the filter criteria.

  • Horizontal lines on my screen when opening raw files in ACR

    Hello!

    I have a Macbook Pro to the end of 2013 with El Capitan installed 10.11.2 retina and all the latest updates for Adobe Photoshop CS6. I'm having problems when opening raw files in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). I have lines of color on the screen when maximize/minimize the window cab. I've been in contact with Apple, but they couldn't find anything with the material, but my problem is still there. This could be a software related issue?

    I'd appreciate any help or advice as soon as possible.

    Thank you very much

    Kind regards

    David

    Hi David,

    It seems a problem with the graphics card on the computer, as the display is based on the graphics card drivers.

    I suggest you to please go to the Photoshop preferences, then the performance tab.

    Then please click on "Advanced settings", under the GPU settings and change the drawing in "Basic" mode

    Also uncheck the option for "Open GL/CL', restart Photoshop.

    and then open the images in Camera Raw and see if the lines still appear or not.

    Kind regards

    Running OS 10.10.3, Photoshop CS4 do not open or import RAW files. Someone knows how to fix this? I've done the update of JAVA, but no luck.

    This camera needs Adobe Camera Raw 5.2 to read these raws, and I'm not sure what has your CS4 installation.

    Then go here Adobe - Photoshop: for Macintosh: Camera Raw 5.7 update download and install the update and let me know if it works.

  • Is it possible to import Raw files into the LR catalog...... including all changes in an external file raw editor such as Capture One?

    Is it possible to import Raw files into the LR catalog...... including all changes in an external file raw editor such as Capture One?

    I can import the Raw file successfully, but can't see all the changes that have been applied in Capture One. IM assuming not, but just to check.

    Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own exclusive process and profiles to render the raw data.

    They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and save changes to a .xmp file or to a Lightroom catalog file.

    Lightroom - can I import RAW files, re - order, then change the numbering of the original RAW file?

    I used two different cameras and several memory cards to shoot a recent wedding. Unfortunately, time of the camera were a different time, so the time of capture does not correctly order them. Obviously neither does the name of the file...

    Thank you

    Natalie

    Yes, after you use Lightroom to correct the capture time in the files themselves, in the library the library module > rename Photo allows you to rebuild all the filenames selected from scratch. Just customize the preset file name. Use the chips here, you can set up a change of name that begins with a numbering sequence (so that they appear in the order you want) and including the Date, hour, Minute, second in addition to other chips or custom text to add to each file name.

  • Could not import RAW files or jpeg in Lightroom 6

    I deleted the old version of Lightroom, as I had problems to import photos.  However, he must now be worse after downloading Lightroom 6. I can't import anything into Lightroom at all! Here are the error messages I receive. Can anyone help? I looked everywhere on this site but nothing of all the work of other suggestion (by dragging photos into Lightroom and changing permissions, etc.). I downloaded 6 Lightroom on my MacBook which has OS X Version 10.9.5. The first image is when I tried to import from my memory card. The second is when I tried to import the RAW files from my Dropbox account - they all files are "grayed out on ' so I can't import them. I'd appreciate really any advice on how to solve this problem!

    I'm not a MAC person, but I don't think you want to import into System\Library.

    You want to select a folder somewhere that is not in the directory system, but a directory that is designed for users to actually put their files, as in the Photos, Documents or an external HD.

  • I'm not able to import RAW files in my LR, HELP! Thank you!! :)

    For the wedding I'm actually now I hired a 2nd shooter and it's her I'm not able to download the RAW files. (previously I had another 2nd shooter and had no problem downloading the RAW files and I shoot in JPG, so do not treat RAW too) I don't know what is the question, but I get this error when importing:

    "The files are a camera which is not recognized by the RAW format support in Lightroom." (247)"and then it doesn't matter these images.

    I need to solve imports RAW question as soon as POSSIBLE and think about the upgrade (this can even be the cause?), is the creative cloud my only option? It is possible to buy just a licensed copy? Thank you very much!!!

    Devices supported by Camera Raw

    The link above lists camera makes and models supported by Lightroom and what version of Lightroom takes supported only the camera.

    You need not necessarily upgrade Lightroom - although this isn't a bad idea and the $9.99 / month, Plan of photography is a great value for a photographer wedding and guard you up to date with the latest version and features at any time.

    If you aren't ready to upgrade, then you can use the free Adobe's DNG Converter to create DNG files from Raw images, and then change the DNG in your version of Lightroom"

  • Import RAW files as a b & W images?

    Hello

    I'm a long-time user LR and just upgraded to LR4, but who have a camera (Panasonic Lumix LX3) LR import raw such as bw images. I can't understand why?
    I checked the import settings (DNG imports) (apply predefined > None) etc. When I look in the history panel after importing it just said the imported date, no indication of conversion to body weight.

    Of course, I can just convert them to color in the Panel to develop, but I do not understand why this is the case and only this camera files (my guns all import them as usual)?
    Thanks for all the ideas.

    Alan.

    It is likely that you have changed the default settings inadvertently develop Adobe (which can be applied for specific devices only). To check, take one of these 'B & W' images in the develop module, press on and hold that the SHIFT key and the reset button on the bottom right will change... on "Reset (Adobe)" click on it and the image should go back to the color. If so, yes you have changed the default settings. To fix, go to develop > set defaults, then click on restore default settings Adobe.

  • Mail crashes when importing MBOX files

    Mail crashes instantly when I select a MBOX file to be imported. In the brief moment before crashing it creates a folder to import and an MBOX, but the MBOX is empty.

    A few days ago I had a MBOX to import. It appears in the Library/Mail/V3/boxes to the letters/folder, then the MBOX container keeps messages from work. However, this MBOX does not appear in the sidebar.

    I went to a backup clone made shortly after the installation of El Capitan. I have replaced Mail and every file relating to mail that was in my user library. This leads to crashes instantly every time instead of intermittent partially blocks by an import.

    I made a secure boot boot. The problem remains.

    Reason 49 on why it is wrong to let the snow leopard. I wouldn't have moved to the Mail except that Outlook 2011 cannot search for emails or run unread simple as filters. (Recommendation from Microsoft is to buy Office 2016).

    Any ideas on how to fix the post other than to reinstall El Capitan?

    I have more information. I started in Snow Leopard and opened Mail 4.6. He had no problem importing the files MBOX to Outlook emails and attachments. I started to El Capitan. I deleted the folder/Library/Mail. I launched Mail 9.2. He created a new folder/Library/Mail that had obviously, no emails. I imported into the Mail 4.6 Mail folder. Everything imported perfectly. Yay! I then tested the capacity of 9.2 mail to import a MBOX to Outlook-created file small. Immediate crash.

    I hope that the problem was that Outlook 2011 on El Capitan generates corrupt MBOX files, but appears not to be the case. They looked good in BBEdit. Outlook had no difficulty to import.
