RAW files in LR 3.2 from D5100

I used my D5100 and shot RAW but when I went to upload them into LR 3.2 it does not recognize the photos. How can I get my pictures into LR?

Support was introduced in LR 3.4.1 and the latest version for Lightroom 3 is version 3.6. Update to the latest version and all should be fine.

  • Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

    For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
    "Unreadable Files
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
    Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

    I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
    Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
    Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
    It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
    'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
    The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
    My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

  • Raw files missing in import direct from canon eos 350D

    Hi,
    I realise that files missing for import is fairly common, but I still haven't been able to find a reason. I can load jpg and cr2 from a folder no problem, but when I attach the camera, using the latest canon WIA driver on windows xp, the window that comes up shows only the jpgs on my camera. I realise that a workaround is to get the files on the pc and import from there, but I don't have my canon software anymore to do that, and besides, I'm using the trial version to decide whether or not to buy. Is this a LR problem? a canon one? and is there a fix in the pipeline?
    Apart from that, really like the product.
    Many thanks
    Dave

    Dave
    There was a problem with version 1.0 about importing JPG's and RAW's because although they have a different suffix i.e. JPG or CR2 they have the same file name. LR, as primarily a RAW converter sees these as one and the same file and only imported the RAW file. The work round for this was to rename the JPG's slightly outside of LR using a name that you could yourself identify with the original RAW e.g. RAW 0000001.crs with the JPG being renamed to 0000001A.JPG followed by Importing. I had thought they had cured this with the update but as I don't shoot JPG + RAW haven't tried this for myself. What's strange about your post though, is that if memory serves me correctly the problem lay not in the Importing of the RAW file but in the JPG file as described above. Perhaps someone with more up to date knowledge of this will jump in here.
    The importing directly from the camera I referred to earlier was a known problem with Canon cameras - perhaps something to do with the folder structure although I couldn't swear to it. Hence the reference to using a Card Reader. In any event downloading from a Card Reader is faster as I'm sure you know.
    If you right click and explore the Card you'll find that not all of the files are empty. The top folder will be something like DCM and by double clicking on this top folder it will open up the others.

  • RAW files exported to PS CS5 from LR2.7 LAG DOWN CS5

    I recently installed photoshop cs5 and have been using it with lightroom 2.7 and lightroom 3beta.
    The other day I downloaded and installed adobe camera raw 6.1.  now every time I export a raw file into cs5 for editing, I get EXTREME levels of lag when I try to use filters like smart sharpen or surface blur.  I checked my CPU performance, and it spikes to %99 CPU usage while CS5 tries to apply a smart sharpen filter.
    When I export files into cs4, I have no problems applying these filters.  They're fast and quick.
    When I directly import a raw file into CS5 using photoshops raw converter, I dont experience this lag running filters at all.
    So i'm concluding that the ACR6.1 update is somehow incompatible with lightroom 2.7 when used in conjunction with photoshop cs5.
    can someone please help!?
    I use lightroom exclusively for my photography workflow.

    I suppose that would help...
    thanks for the response:
    2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    Crucial 120GB SSD
    scratch disks 1TB  7200rpm, 3 x 300GB 10,000rpm raptor drives (I store my raw files and edit them from this drive)--it's a raid 0 array
    i'm running lightroom 2.7, as well as lightroom 3beta
    photoshop cs5 running in 64bit mode.
    the RAW files are canon raw .CRW  files from a 5D mark II, approximately 22MB.
    i'm exporting them at 300DPI into cs5 from lightroom.  I'm letting lightroom do the converting.
    with ACR6.1 installed, any raw or tiff file i export from lightroom into cs5 causing cs5 to lag down in general, and experience extreme lag when i apply filters like smart sharpen and surface blur---under the utility manager, it appears that the CPU is at %99 usage when these filters are being applied--hence the lag.
    I reintalled cs5, but didn't install acr6.1 this time.  the problem has been solved, at least as far as I can tell.
    so my conclusion is that ACR6.1 doesn't work with lightroom.

  • Can't open NEF raw files in Elements 12.1 from my Nikon D610.

    I have the trial version of Elements 12 and updateed to 12.1. The Camera Raw version is 8.4 and I'm running a Windows 7 computer. Then I try to open NEF files do I get the error message that my Camera is not supported. I tried to install the DNG converter ver 8.3 but that dosen't recognize the NEF files either. Elements opens the NEF files from my Nikon D5100 without problems and so does the DNG converter. I have tried both 12 bit and 14 bit NEF files from the D610 with no luck.
    As I understand it so should Elements 12 with Camera Raw 8.4 support Nikon D610. I hope I get get this to work so that I can update to ver 12 from ver 9 that I use today.
    Best regards
    Daniel

    Yes I used Nikon Transfer NX that came with my Nikon D5100. I downloaded the NEF file directly from the SD card to my hard drive and now can I open the NEF file in Elements. I guess I need to update Nikon Transfer NX with the version I got with the D610.
    Thanks 99jon for the quick reply and for solving my problem

  • Cannot upload raw files to lightroom 2.0 from my Canon Q10

    Lightroom says the CR2 files are corrupt - but I am quite sure they are not because: a) I can view them on the camera and, b) Picasa downloaded them just fine. I originaly tried downloading to LR directly from the camera. When that failed, I downloaded the CR2 files to the hard drive and then tried importing them into LR2. Same error message - the files are corrupted.
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    I am going to contact Canon as well.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Peter,
    I'm having trouble identifying the "Canon Q10"... does it have an alternate model designator in the US, as many Canons do?  Is it a relatively new release camera?  Have you previously been able to upload RAW photos taken by this particular model camera into Lightroom 2?
    If not, the issue most likely is that Lightroom and Adobe's Camera Raw 5.2 don't support this camera yet.  A future release likely will.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    If that's your problem, the interim solution is to use Canon software to download the RAW photo and convert it to TIF, and import the TIF to Lightroom.  Or shoot RAW+Jpeg, and import the Jpeg to Lightroom and await proper RAW support.  Sorry.

  • How can I import raw files from nikon d810 to elements 12

    How ca raw files be imported into elements from a nikon d810

    If the images are in iPhoto for iOS use the Share to iTunes feature. Then connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with, open iTunes, select your iPad in the left column of iTunes and in the right column select General. Ten scroll down to find the File Sharing area and select iPhoto. You will see a pane where your photos are listed and you can copy them to your computer. I'm not completely sure the copies will be RAW files but at least you have saved a version of the photos.
    I use my iPad to review, display and post photos but I use my computer to actually process RAW files. While I often connect my camera to my iPad to transfer photos I never delete them from the card and ill eventually copy them to more than one hard drive.

  • Why are the DNG files from my RW2 raw files are so large (37MB)?

    I have a fairly new Panasonic Lumix LX5.  I've recently converted a few files to DNG.
    They're turning out to be @ 37MB, over three times larger than the original file.
    I'm not embedding the original raw files in the DNG.
    NEF files I convert from my Nikon D2x are around 9.5MB.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8,  DNG v 6.6 and also use PS CS5.5 and Lightroom 3.0.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks R_Kelly!
    I was using the DNG converter app.
    I just tried converting a RW2 raw file by saving it in from the ACR window in CS5 with your recommended settings:
    Compatibility 5.4 and later
    Jpeg preview:medium size
    without orginal raw file embedded.
    This yielded a 9.7MB DNG file.  Yeah!!
    So I went back and tried a couple using the DNG converter app.
    With compatbility set to 4.6 & later, the converted files are 37MB.
    But with compatiblity set to 5.4 & later files are 9.7 MB.
    This is the same when using either the app or  from ACR.
    So the difference here is the compatiblity setting.
    Does anyone know why this happens??

  • Can I "cache" large RAW files imported from network drive on local drive?

    I've seen discussions similar to this topic, regarding "offline" editing, but not exact answers I'm looking for.
    I'm copying RAW files from a shoot onto my network RAID drive in a per-album folder, from where I then import into a new LR catalog (I'm using LR 4.1) on my Windows laptop for that album.
    I'm finding that editing RAW files on a network drive from a wireless laptop is awfully slow (not to mention not being able to continue the work offline somewhere else), so I'd like to cache those files on my speedy SSD drive just until I'm done editing and exporting/publishing that album.
    I back up my per-album catalog onto the network folder alongside the RAW files since that's my IT-managed master repository. When I'm done editing, I'd purge the cached files and just keep the catalog previews on my limited capacity SSD.
    So, is there a way to tell LR to, for one/all files imported from a location (in my case a network folder), look in an alternate location for the identical files? Since I create per-album catalogs in per-album folders, there wouldn't be filename clashing. Either LR can provide this caching behavior on its own or I'd manually copy files from the network folder to a local folder and tell LR to look there first.
    I don't really want to make copies of files into secondary folders within LR since then it's a hassle to merge edits on the cached copy to its master copy (I haven't done this, but I'd imagine so).
    Thanks for your workflow tips.
    Erhhung

    Have you tried locating your ACR Raw cache on this SSD drive, also ensuring that the size limit of this cache is large enough, to keep a goodly chunk of these Raw images all in play at the same time?
    My understanding is that for performance reasons, LR will be caching your Raw data locally in any case - on conventional hard disk by default. And it will be doing so in an intermediate half-converted form (demosaiced into "sensor RGB space" but not translated into "picture RGB values" - the latter process varies depending on your live Develop adjustments).
    So long as this cache has not run short, and reallocated space for something else, LR should (as far as I know) not be needing to go back to the network drive to re-fetch actual Raw content. And keeping that cache somewhere fast rather than somewhere slow, should improve responsiveness.
    I imagine, though, that LR will continually check the availability and the unchanged timestamp of the real source file; and wouldn't let you carry on working from automatically cached data otherwise.

  • Adobe XMP Files not deleted with Raw Files in ACR

    I am using Photoshop CS3 on a Windows XP platform. My camera raw files are mostly kept on a Windows 2003 file server, which has a gigabit connection to my workstation. However, I have the same problems when using PS CS3 on my Windows XP laptop.
    I take many hundreds of 'technical' photographs using an Olympus E1 and Canon G9 cameras. I usually bracket the exposures on the E1, specially when photographing white painted yachts, and then rate and select the images that I want in ACR 4.1.1. Unwanted images are deleted at this time.
    The problem I am having is that the associated *.xmp files are not always deleted with the camera raw files, with the result that I now have literally thousands of these 'orphaned' files cluttering up the server. The only options I have are to delete the files manually, which is a pain, or to leave them on the server, wasting unnecessary space.
    I have the same issue with Canon and Nikon raw files, so this problem is not specific to Olympus files.
    This is a long standing problem, and I would be grateful if anyone has any answers?
    If any Adobe programmers are watching, it would be handy if you could provide a simple utility to delete orphaned *.xmp files, or at least compress them into some kind of archive.
    Thanks,
    Nigel.

    [quote] As far as Photoshop and ACR go, ALL raw files are treated as read-only.
    Your original raw files remain untouched, no matter what you do to them.
    Any adjustments you make to a raw file are kept only as metadata (flags, if you will) in that XMP side-car file. Every time you want to re-open that raw image file, ACR will reach for the XMP file and apply the adjustments automatically, transparently. [/quote]
    That is not quite correct. Camera RAW files can be permanently deleted from within Adobe Camera Raw. The problem with ACR 4.1 to 4.4 4 was that the XMP files were left behind. This now seems to have been rectified in the latest version (ACR 4.5).
    Thank you Adobe!

  • Open RAW file as linked layer

    Hi!
    I know that when I open a RAW file as a smart object in PS I can convert it to a linked layer afterwards. But during that PS asks me where to save the RAW file.
    Now that seems terribly inefficient to me as I already have the RAW on my hard disk (where I just opened it) and I don't want to create another copy of it.
    So is there some way that I can open the RAW file so that it is linked to the original from the start? And I certainly don't want to overwrite the original RAW file with the one extracted from the smart object (I don't like touching originals, messes up backup etc.).

    I'm half way there, but stuck at:
    Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
    Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
    Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
    Any help would really be appreciated.
    I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.

  • RAW files not launching

    After a system crash I reinstalled Lightroom 3.6 and subscribed to Creative Cloud.
    Downloaded and installed without issue Bridge and Photoshop CS6 - 64bit Windows 7 system.
    Some (NOT ALL) of the RAW files (ORF) that I restored from a backup will not display thumbnails or launch in Bridge or Lightroom.
    Bridge gives me the error "Could not complete your request because its not the right kind of document"
    Lightroom gives me the error "Preview not available"
    I've checked the knowledge base and reviewed similar issues with CS3 but none of the solutions make sense since this is a new install and my cameras have been supported in Adobe Camera Raw since v5.3 or earlier.
    I did download and install the camera manufacturer's editing program and it will display the files without any issue - I had throught this may have been a Win7 issue but since I can launch a raw file from this viewer it suggests the issue is with the Adobe products and not a Win7 problem.
    Really not sure what to try next and would appreciate some suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    After additional investigation I have resolved the issue via a combination of removing the camera raw file from the 32 bit plug-in folder as suggested here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/generic-icons-camera-raw-files.html
    As well as it appears that when I restored my backup from Carbonite all the files came back without the proper security settings which was preventing these items to be viewed in Lightroom and Bridge because file editing was not enabled even through the "read only" checkbox was removed.

  • Raw files not showing in PSE12

    I recently upgraded from a Canon T3 to a Canon 70D.  I had been using PSE11 with my T3 without any trouble.  But when I got the 70D it would no longer load my raw files.  I did some quick research and saw that I needed to purchase PSE12, so I did.  However, my files still aren't showing even after doing an update.  I'm running on Vista and while my computer is 7 years old it really is working great so I would like to avoid getting a new system just to upload the raw files.  I read about DNG but I really don't want the extra step of having to convert my files.  I just want to be able to import the raw files and work with them from there.  I read somewhere that it's possible to do a manual upgrade to camera raw 8.3, but I can't find any directions.  Would love some help.  I'm about to pull my hair our.  What's so hard about them offering the update through the program I just shelled out $80 for.  I shouldn't have to spend hours getting PSE12 to work.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Sure, it's not too hard to do the upgrade to camera raw 8.3.
    First download and install the 8.3 dng converter to install the required profiles for camera raw 8.3
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.3
    Then download the Camera Raw_83_GM_32bit.zip from the following link
    (it's under where it says Revert to 8.3 on Windows 32-bit Windows XP and Vista)
    (since pse 12 is a 32 bit program on windows, you want the 32 bit camera raw plugin)
    Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
    Extract the contents of the Camera Raw_83_GM_32bit.zip and copy the enclosed Camera Raw.8bi file to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats (64 bit windows vista system)
    or
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats (32 bit windows vista system)
    It's a good idea to delete the old camera raw plugin before pasting the new one into one of the above places.

  • ACR 4.1 Issue - Lightroom Issue with Nikon D40x Raw Files

    I am running Windows Vista and CS3 and am trying to process Nikon D40x raw files (NEFs) using ACR 4.1. The images come up properly in Bridge. However, when I try to add metadata using a metadata template, I get the error: "There was an error writing metadata to DSC_130.NEF." When I try to rotate an image in Bridge, I get the same error. If I try to do a Batch Rename, the name does not change. If I double-click on the image, it opens properly in ACR and the image can be rotated in ACR, and it then appears rotated in Bridge.
    I also tried importing the D40x images in Lightroom. The following error appeared: "Problem Importing Files. The following files were not imported. The files appear to be unsupported or damaged."

    Jeff,
    I installed camera raw.8bi (size is 10,187kb)in
    c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    I'm beginning to think this is a Windows Vista issue. I just installed ACR 4.1 on my XP laptop and it works fine. For both the Vista machine and the laptop, my raw files are on an external drive. If I move the raw files on the Vista machine from the external drive to the c: drive, there is no problem. I'm exploring whether there is some permissions issue in Vista that is not allowing me to write to the raw files if they are on an external drive. Ain't new operating systems just great fun!
    Thanks!
