Deleting just RAW or JPG

[JAS Photo]

I shoot RAW + JPG - I Delete both for bad pictures, I keep both for selects - But I would like to delete just the RAWs for some and just the JPG's for others is this possible?

Thanks
Joe

Sure.  Just un-join the RAW+JPEG thumbnails.  You can do this by turning of RAW+JPEG mode (Command-J on Mac, Ctrl+J on Windows).  Once they are separated, you can delete however you like.

Once I unjoin them the RAW's are no longer tagged. Would it be possible to make it so that say - I hit Ctrl-Del - PM asks - do you want to delete the JPGs or RAW's? or maybe CTRL-Del delets JPG's & Alt -Del delets RAWs?
Thanks

I take it that your RAW and JPEG files were not always together?  You can do a Select tagged first, then untag them all then tag them again which will synchronize the pairs, then un-join them.

I would also really like this ability. The problem with the suggestion you make is gets really messy with a large contact sheet, as you then would have to go through one-by-one selecting the RAW or JPEG version of each file you want to delete. The time-consuming bit is not the actual deleting, but the selection of only one part of a pair.

What I would like to be able to do is this:

1. Take my contact sheet of say 500 RAW+JPEGs (each viewed as single thumbnail)
2. Go through them and make my "bests" edit of say 50 pictures, tagging them all.
3. View only un-tagged, or view only tagged.
4. Select all
5. Then choose some nice new option to "Delete RAW, keep JPEG" or "Delete JPEG, keep RAW". This could be in a menu, contextual menu, or wherever really. It could I guess be in a dialog window arising from the general delete function, though I would think better to have it separate.

I can't see any easy way to apply the current tools to this situation.

Thanks,
Ben

If this is going to be added, please doit as another menu choice in addition to the current Delete command. I don't want to have to clcik thoguh another dialog box when I am deleting files. I am perfectly happywith the existing methods of deleting one or the other, but not both (possibly because I don't do it that frequently).

Ben,

Taking up your workflow after step 3, do that:

4. Ctrl. + J to separate RAW and JPEG
5. Sort by "type", which groups all RAW and all JPEG's together consecutively
6. Groupe select either all RAW or all JPEG and delete them

That should work.
