Why won't my camera raw photos (.CR2) import? Jpeg won't either. Just installed Lightroom 5. Says files can't be read. Please help.

Trying to import photos to Lighroom 5 from my lexar memory card. Says files can't be read. It will not import any file, CR2 or Jpeg. Will someone please help me? I'm not good with complicated lingo either. It has to be simple for me to understand. Thank you in advance.

Are you using a card reader or trying to import via the camera? If importing from the camera then you can expect problems, switch to using a card reader.
If you are already using a card reader then  the card itself may have problems. Copy the contents over to somewhere on your hard drive and try importing from there. Make sure you regularly format your card in the camera. And switch to using a different card to see if the problem continues.

  • Lightroom will not let me import photos from either camera or desktop. I can see them in the preview part of Lightroom but when I click import, just says they can't be read.  HELP!

    Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read.  SO FRUSTRATING.

    You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
    Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
    If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
    I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder).  Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

  • After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

    need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
    i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
    recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
    for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
    i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
    will appreciate any advise. Thanks

    Is it possibe to return to a RAW image and edit it once I've exported it to another location as jpeg?
    Yes
    I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
    but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library)  I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
    We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

  • Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Hi,
    The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
    Your choices are
    1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12
    2) Use the Canon DPP application to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then import the TIF files into the organizer
    3) Use the free download of the Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 file to DNG files and then import the DNG files to the organizer.
    Note: if you are running on XP or Vista, you need version 8.3 of the converter - the latest (8.4) will not work.

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

    New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.  If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially.  Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time.  How do I fix this?

    If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

    Jim;
         All images are visible on my camera.  I am using fairly new 32GB CF and SDHC cards.  I will see if my card reader makes a difference.  I was going over photos I took in 2012 that I have reviewed before and some of them now aren't readable now.

    THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.

  • In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

    In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

    What operating system are you using?
    Which version of camera raw do you have in photoshop cs6?
    After you select the Adjustment Brush, the New button should already be enabled.
    Then after you draw on an area of the image, the Add button should be enabled, with the option to choose either of the other two buttons; New or Erase
    Could you post a screenshot?
    Maybe all the adjustment values are set to zero?
    (at least one needs to have a value other than zero)

    We are fellow users, we won't know why it's disabled. You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your device by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
