How to see JPEG images in Lightroom when shooting Raw+

GoldenRGuy · 05-21-2013, 05:07 PM

Perhaps I'm having a "brain freeze" but I was shooting Raw+ this weekend. I imported into Lightroom and can't see the JPEGs. Tried opening in Photoshop Elements as well, but only see the RAW images. Am I missing something? Camera is set to Raw+. K-5 btw.
Please help and call me an idiot if you must!!

I shoot RAW+ and use Lightroom.

The first thing to do is to check on your filesystem (outside of Lightroom) that you do indeed have the RAW and JPG files on your computer. Open Windows explorer and find the folder where the images live and have a look.

Normally LR 'stacks' RAW and JPG's together in the Library display. You can 'unstack' RAWs and JPGs if you want by going menu > Photo >Stacking and choosing your options.

Also when you right-click on a RAW+ picture you should have an option like "make JPG as default" (or similar, I don't remember the exact label).

This explains it better than I ever could.

Perfect! Thank you all. I wanted the jpegs to post quickly for the family, RAW to fine tune the images later. I'll check the Windows File where they are stored to make sure both sets were downloaded.
