Why my pictures only opens raw? they open automatically in jpeg format

Hi all! new here and I would appreciate any help I can get. It's waaaaaaay all over my head and very frustrating for me. I am new to all this and little overwhelmed with all the info. I've been shooting in raw and use a nikon d40. I just noticed when I go into edit my photos, they are automatically converted to JPEG. I have pse6 as cs5. Acr will open automatically as it should if I shoot in raw said. I also noticed when I drag my photos they change all say .jpg?

Can someone help me with this? I would like to change first of all in the cab. I download about iphoto and they read "nikon raw", however bridge cs5 and pse6 all read .jpg. I'm so confused, thanks for any help

Exactly how you open them in elements or CS5 or bridge?

Your real problem is that iPhoto matter the original images of the card and stores inside the iPhoto library. You cannot get the iPhoto raw file without actually digging down in the library. If you right-click on the actual iPhoto Library (prolly inside your user/Pictures/iPhoto Library), you can use the command Show Package Contents. Inside, it will be a subfolder named "Originals", which should contain your original raw files.

Unless you really want to continue to use iPhoto for some reason, (she is Manager of fortune ok but if is not really designed for editing), you should try importing the map images in a folder on your hard drive by using a copy of Finder prolly, then navigate to that folder in elements or bridge.

The other thing to consider is research as a replacement for iPhoto to Lightroom.
