The DNG format conversion and loss of the original RAW file?

I was guided to implement my structure of import so that Lightroom would take my Canon. Cr2 files and convert them to DNG on import. Now, I find that for a major competition, they want to see the RAW file origin but while in the preferences panel, I've had 'data fast loading Embed' checked, I had not checked the box for "Embed original RAW file. Thus, it is impossible for me to produce the original RAW file now?

If I check the box to embed original raw file, what are the implications for the sizes of files and disk space?

After you click Import there are choices in the upper part of the import dialog box. If your photos are imported from the camera or camera card select copy. If the CR2 files are already in a folder on your computer, choose Add. LR will bring in the original CR2 files and create a XMP sidecar for each of them.

Create a XMP file does not by default. You need to tell Lightroom to do by turning on an option or by using a command. Some people never use the XMP sidecar files.

  • How to remove the original RAW files after deletion of the intelligent insights?

    Hello comrades!

    I have change my series of photos with smart thumbnails, disconnected my external HARD disk (where the original RAW files). I deleted some pictures from the catalog, and I now have only the best photos of "keeper".

    Could you help me please, how to remove the original rejection RAW from my hard drive external? If I connect my external hard drive and try to sync photos, LR offer me an import dialog box photos refused from the external hard drive, instead delete photos denied the original RAWs.

    Thank you very much!

    John

    Stop disconnect the external drive before you delete the catalog releases and select Remove from the disk.

    Otherwise, you will need to manually, delete them externally or reimport then them select all, make sure previous import is selected, Photos and then delete and remove disk.

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

  • How can I access the original RAW file from the camera of the Iphone?

    Hello community. I work with professional photography. I talked to my colleagues for the quality of the pictures we take with our Iphones.  There are many filtering and strengthen and interpolation in the original photo app process of apples. I wonder if there is a way to access the original raw data to the chip in a camera of the iphone (from iphone iPhone 5 6 for the next Iphone.) I think that a lot of people engaged in photography smartphone could benefit from accessing the original raw (not emulation, no simulations) files.

    I appreciate your answers.

    Currently on iOS 9, you can get the RAW of the stock camera app, or any other application photos. However, the app '645 PRO MKIII' did take pictures and store them in unprocessed TIFF formats, which is as close as possible. However, Apple is expected to push back the FIRST support in iOS 10 with third-party apps, no word on the stock soft well.

  • How to export the library Photos Apple to Adobe Creative Cloud maintaining the original RAW files

    Hello community,

    I feel 'stupid' as I was on Adobe on my Windows system, then when I went to Mac, I used their Apreture and having migrated to their last Photos app, and affected by the many limitations of it, I try to export my library of Photos Apple together (two of them) in Adobe Creative Cloud.

    The big worry here is that if such a device exists on end of Adobe? And, personally, I spoke with support from Apple for the Photos app and I was told there is _no way_ to export their photos app original RAW files!  It's horrible for a photographer!

    Basically, just want to know if there is a way to migrate the library of Photos Apple (keeping the RAW digital files) on Adobe Creative Cloud.  I searched and not found an answer in the FAQ.

    Thank you

    Ramiel

    Using the Apple Photo of Unmodified Original export feature, it seems, the original RAW. CR2 file could export... so looks like I have to export as this manually and reorganize everything.

    Adobe really needs to have this feature/plugin.  Suggest this feature on http://feedback.photoshop.com and suggest others do as well.

  • LR destroyed the original raw files

    I did this as straight as I could.  Here are the facts:

    1. my cameras are Leica M8/9 s and they produce s DNG as their raw format.  So I start with a generated camera DNG.

    2. I used the Mac OS folder structure to manage my originals.  Import into the independent Mac folder structure of the LR.

    3. I have import in LR using reference files without moving.

    4. it is clear that any treatment done in LR, including the use of profiles to camera, develop settings and meta-data are written back to the original DNG.    With other raw formats, the information is written in a .xmp.

    5. it is difficult to know if the file raw itself has been changed and that some people report that the file raw itself has been processed using the available profile.   Other programs recognize the DNG as a processed version and will not apply a profile to the camera.

    This has important implications for the backup process and workflow and it certainly doesn't fit with non-destructive advantage? LR.

    Eric,

    You can generate this problem, for example, have LR write a DNG M9 which is compressed lossless and you try to play as DNG in Capture One 4.8.3. The colors are corrupted. There are other other ways to hear from C1 to throw its toys as well. If you want, I can send you a series of valid DNG files that will read LR, but C1 up to top it (!), but I doubt that it is of no use.

    Just to stress however, that is not a problem Adobe LR as such - the DNG as written by LR is quite valid and a consistent DNG reader will be read correctly. The problem is that DNG of C1 player works properly with native DNG of M9 in camera.

    It is however a DNG problem in that this means that in practice, there are 'flavors' of DNG, and the problem of Roger and others like him, is that LR changes DNG "flavors" in a way that is not widely understood by the work of photographers and can wreak havoc.

    Hi rodaks, george

    Images II 7 d would be directly supported in Photoshop CS5 as requiring a new camera raw.

    So, you must download the free DNG Converter to convert these images to DNG and then open the DNG converted in Photoshop.

  • Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Is there a reason to save the two versions?  The NAVE seems to have no further use other than too much hard drive space.

    Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Why save versions when the DNG is the original and the NAVE seems to just take remote hard drive space?

    I see no reason to keep them, they take a lot of space, one of the reasons to convert to DNG is that they are almost 20% smaller than the ships.

    But it is of course your choice...

  • Can I integrate a video file in the psd and then send the psd to a person without the original video file included?

    I want to send the client just the DSP with integrated video, but it seems that I have to send the original video file as well. Is anyway not to do this? Should not include just put the video file inside the psd so we have bind the original file again? THX!

    Video layers seem to have included the link to the original video file.   I tried to get around this.  I copied a video file on my desktop. Then I have a new opening document 1920x1080px.  I then used the menu file > Place incorporated.  And placed in the video that I copied on my desk. I created a timeline of the video and was able to play the video.  I then save a PSD and close the open document. Then I deleted the video file on my desktop. Then I opened the PSD registered.  There seems to be a link... And the PSD file is small compared to the video file.

    Step 1: Adjust an image in Lightroom, until you are satisfied with its appearance

    Step 2: Use develop-> new preset, select all selections in the new preset dialog box (note: I always uncheck the exhibition here, who should probably be adjusted picture, I'm mostly interested by contrast, vibrance and camera calibration settings)

    Just upgraded to El Carlos Moreira of 10.6.8 on my imac (2010). With the help of pictures 1.5, many are shredded, especially the big raw files. Any solution?

    Select one miniature pixelation and try, if reprocessing RAW format will help.  The last RAW support update that you have installed with the upgrade may have changed you the treatment for your camera RAW format.

    To reprocess the file open RAW image in edit mode and use the command "Image > reprocess RAW."  Does return correct thumbnail?

  • vicious circle to re - install Skype when the original msi file is missing

    I recently had problems with Skype, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall... maybe a newer version, I don't know, but that's not relevant. The point is that when I try to uninstall, it tells me that I can't do it (even when I run the task as an administrator) because it lacks the original installation file. Why and how he disappeared is unknown, but it is really, so how do I uninstall Skype?

    Try to download a new installation file does not work, as it is blocked by the program with the same error messages.

    I tried all the evidence and looked through all the suggestions on board Skype and in the forum, and nothing works.
