I recently changed the setting on my camera to take both a RAW and JPEG image. I now have a large number of photos in both formats in the same event. I'd like to separate all the RAW and JPEG photos into separate events. Is it possible to do this in a batch process versus trying to move individual files? I use iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3.
Thanks,
Peter

Yes. Create a smart album with the criteria Photo is RAW:
Then you can select all of the photos in the smart album and use the Events ➙ Create Event menu option to move all of the RAW photos into a new event.

However - there generally s no reason to shoot RAW plus JPEG since as soon as yoou iport a RAW into iPhoto a JPEG preview is generated - shooting both greatly increases disk storage rquirements and generally have no benifit - I suggest you reconsider yoru wrok flow

I know that both are unneccessary and do take up too much space. I was going on vacation and shooring RAW for the first time. I decided to shoot JPEG as a back-up ... somethng that I was used to using. In the future I will only use one format .. and probably JPEG because it's fine for how I use the photos.
Thanks,.

This is very helpful. I have two questions additional questions:
1) When I create a new event with just the RAW files I will now have two events with the same photos; the original event (w/ RAW and JPEG) and the new event created using the smart album. Can I delete the original event or would doing so also delete the RAW photos in the new event?
2) The process of creating a new event using the smart album pulls information from all events in the library (i.e. it pulls any RAW file from any event into the smart album). Is it possible to create a smart album from just 5 events?
Thank you,
Peter
1 - That would move the RAW files from their original Events into a new, all RAW event. The jpg files would be left in the original Events.
2 - Yes. The criteria would be like this:
Can I create separate events for RAW files and JPEG files of the same photo?
