![]() The majority of these are just raw formats from a given camera manufacturer. CR2 which is Canon’s proprietary format, along with. Raw itself actually has a few extensions including. PlayMemory and DPP are functionally equivalent to the Lightroom import process to copy data files from the camera card to the disk drive for safe keeping.Notice no “RAW” there. You only need one copy of the original file managed by Lightroom and (at least) one copy held in reserve (backup) in the eventual event that recovery is needed. The only other time that Lightroom will used this original image file is when it needs to read the original data to print or make a derivative export file.Įfficient practice is to use Lightroom to import all image files and manage those in the location that was assigned by Lightroom. Lightroom will make a note of the location (path) where the exact copy of the original file has been stored during import. ![]() ![]() Only then is it safe to erase the data on the camera card and reuse the camera card. When you system backup has done its job, you will have two exact copies of the original file in two places for safety. If at first opportunity you import the into Lightroom, Lightroom will stop an exact copy of the original file at a place that you designate on your disk drive. while the only copy is on the camera card. At this time this is the only copy of those files and they are vulnerable to loss, damage etc. When you take a photo with your camera, the images are stored on the camera card. It is important to have (at least) two copies of your original images for safety of those files. And you should have a system backup in place to make sure that all of your critical user data including those copies of your RAW files are backed up and recoverable when you have a disk storage failure. Where they remain exact copies of what was recorded by your camera. (Save the image Ian ARW file and import into Lightroom)Ĭlick to expand.Your originals are indeed copied to your local disk drive. This replaces the 10 processing steps that you outlined earlier with two. The result is one original ARW Raw file and optionally one pr more derivatives of the image edited with LR. When you chose to create a derivative, then you export to create a JPEG or TIFF that is a combination of the image captured RAW and the develop edits that you make in Lightroom. Once imported into Lightroom, LR uses a version of ACR to create an RGB image from the RAW data file. You do not need to convert to DNG although some choose to do that IN Lightroom on import. You can import those images by inserting the camera card into a suitable attached card reader and importing directly into Lightroom. Why are you shooting tethered? You can capture the same ARW file in the camera on the camera card. Your Workflow seems a hodgepodge of pieces most of which is unnecessary. ![]() ![]() The size of the original RAW in MB is irrelevant. RAW images have no pixel dimensions until converted to RGB. Since you are shooting RAW the crop window is only applied in settings and the full RAW image is available to LR by changing the Aspect ratio in Develop from "As Shot" to "Original". Where do I find the file size to verify I am about to process full RAW pics?Ĭlick to expand.If you have not applied any crop window in your camera settings, your a6600 (as example) will produce a full 24mp image that is 6000px X 4000px. So, I've either screwed up the conversion process, or the metadata is alluding me. Now, and here is where my logic is screwed up, I find reference to the file size for both JPG and DNG conversion ( I am looking at the thumbnails in grid view) to be the same 24mp for example. I then go into LR to Import these photos, and do so without apparent issues. I then:Ī) select the file folder with all the ARW to convertĬ) add wording to the picture files to identify the camera usedĭ) click "Change Preferences" and then: "raw 11.2 and later", Medium sized preview, uncheck compression box, skip the Embed Original RAW File, leave UI Scaling on "Auto" This leads me to the converter's menu selection. When tethered, the pics go to PlayMemory program.įrom there I select any ARW photo, right click, hover over "Develop RAW Image", select "Adobe DNG Converter". I have newly purchased the Sony a6600 and Sony a7 III and capture both JPG and raw ARW. It appears I am mistaking some data for anther that I seek. ![]()
