kepstein Posted July 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have begun using the iCloud Photo Library. The RAW files from my M 240 do not render properly. They appear at a very low resolution. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks, Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

azuled Posted July 21, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 21, 2015 Importing to the iPad from iCloud. So, you are copying them into photos app on the desktop from the memory card, and then from iCloud to iPad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted July 21, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 21, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Why don't you shoot dng + jpgI put JPGs in my iPad when I am far from home to look what I have done (or for customers) with a toshiba flashair WIFI W-03 you even don't need a cable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Livingston Posted July 21, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 21, 2015 I do the same... I shoot DNG+JPG and download the DNG files to Lightroom and the black and white JPG's to Photo and sync the album to my iPad. That way I have the convenience and speed to check through the JPG and decide what to keep and what to go back and PP properly using Lightroom and/or SFX. It's just the fastest and most convenient method I've found to really check through images... And it means I can play with cropping or basic PP if I think something gets close to a decent image. Once I've spent some time looking through and evaluating and reevaluating the files on my iPad, I can go back to my MacBook Pro and do any real post processing on those chosen images, then file and save for printing or publication and delete the remaining images out of Lightroom (well, that last bit is the theory anyway, I tend to keep all the original but unused/rejected files although I keep telling myself there really isn't any need...). The point is, DNG for Lightroom and all heavy PP... JPG for iPad to evaluate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustafasoleiman Posted July 21, 2015 Share #9 Posted July 21, 2015 Why not simply use LR on the iPad and shoot DNG only? shoot DNG only copy to iPad via Photo (images will look horrible... Ignore) go into LR and add the new images you can now view and edit the images images with all the edits will also automatically copy to your main computer (if you have the $10/m CC subscription) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted July 21, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 21, 2015 Wait, have you missed a step out? Can you please rewrite that workflow with more detail - mobile or desktop Lightroom, how the dngs get from iPad to desktop.

kepstein Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted July 21, 2015 So, you are copying them into photos app on the desktop from the memory card, and then from iCloud to iPad? Yes, this is my workflow. I am using DNG compressed on the 240. Is this the problem; perhaps the compressed format is causing this issue on the iPad. but not the desktop.

Kwesi Posted July 24, 2015 Share #15 Posted July 24, 2015 Yes, this is my workflow. I am using DNG compressed on the 240. Is this the problem; perhaps the compressed format is causing this issue on the iPad. but not the desktop. I think the issue is that when shooting DNG only, the associated jpeg is meant for viewing on the camera screen only and as such is quite small when viewed on an iPad. This was the case with the M9.

Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks, Ken Oops! forgot you were seeking a solution and not just a cause. My suggestion would be to shoot jpegs along with the DNG if the photo app is your viewer and storage solution of choice. A word of caution, the Photo App is very crippled-you get almost no exif info so basic stuff like lens used is missing and its not color aware. You are much better of exporting resized sRGB jpegs ( a good starting point is twice the resolution of the iPad so you can zoom in ) to the cloud from a Mac or PC via Lightroom or Capture 1 and then viewing on your iPad. You will use less cloud space (cheaper in the long run) and the color images will look much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adobe says that they don't support copying full sized DNG files from mobile devices through their cloud service this way, and they say that they don't store full sized DNG files for LR-Mobile at all (on the cloud). I would be seriously concerned about this workflow resulting in you not having the actual DNG files from the camera. Unless I'm wildly mistaken. I have all the requisite components so I can try this out when I return home next week. I spent a long time trying to figure out if this workflow was workable with the iPad and an m9 and came to the conclusion that it was not, but it's possible that this has changed since I initially sought it out (April 2015). If I'm wildly mistaken then that's great, and I'm happy because that's a much better workflow than the one I ended up having to use (camera->iPad Photo app->Dropbox->Desktop->Lightroom->LR-Mobile).

Exodies Posted July 25, 2015 Share #18 Posted July 25, 2015 This workflow does handle DNG only images on the SD card. However I'm not sure where the DNG is by the time your picture is available on the desktop. The pictures appear in a collection "from mobile" not a folder.

The DNG files are copied to the desktop and they are in the folder of Lightroom inside the mobile downloads file, which you can open by using the SHOW CONTENTS pop up menu, or by selecting the SHOW IN FINDER pop up option in Lightroom.
