After Import Dialog?

Greetings,
After importing images from my camera into Aperture, the dialog "Click Eject Card, Erase and Eject Card, or Done" is supposed to appear but it does not. Is there a way to enable this feature?
Thanks in advance - Scrags

When I use my old Pentax, a camera which actually shows as a disc on the desktop, I will get the dialog box even in 2.1. However, when I use my new Canon G9, which doesn't turn up as a disc on the desktop, I don't get the dialog box.
This might be a clue. A lot of cameras have the option to set their USB connection either into 'Mass Storage' or 'Peer-to-Peer (PTP)' mode. Try setting the former on your camera.

  • Attempt Import and after Choose Clicked - No Import Dialog

    When attempting to import pictures, after I select the pictures to import, then click choose, the box closes, but the next import diaglog box does not open.
    Then,the program is locked and nothing works until ESC is pressed.
    All worked fine before with CS2 Premium and Lightroom 1.4.
    However, I now have CS3, and both Lightoom 1.4 and 2.1 don't import photos as explained above.
    Is there a conflict or some routine I have to run to sort this out? Thank you!

    It sounds like the Import dialog is off-screen. Did you used to have two monitors and now only have one, or used to have a higher resolution and now have a lower resolution?
    If it is off-screen, the way you can get it back is to use the Move command that most all Window's-windows have. You can access it by using Alt-Space when the window has focus, which would be just after you do the Choose... command.
    Hit Alt-Space and then M and then use the cursor-arrow keys to move the window in one direction then the other until you see it peek onto the screen.
    You can try this with an on-screen window to see what happens.
    If you're on a Mac there is likely an equivalent command sequence.

  • Creating a new folder starts up import dialog box...

    When I click the plus sign on the folders panel, it takes me to the create folder dialog where I can browse to the location of the new folder.
    Sometimes, after clicking OK, LR then starts up the import dialog box with a heap of images to import which I then need to cancel. I should have checked where the images were from but have not thought to do so before this post.
    Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment.
    As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location.

    >"Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment. "
    I can't duplicate this. Whether I have highlighted an existing LR folder or not, clicking the "+" brings up the create folder dialog, I browse to a location and create a subfolder. That folder then becomes a LR folder. If I do have a current LR folder highlighted, the process (or just right clicking on the folder name and choose "Create Folder") brings up the create folder dialog with the current LR folder as the parent. I can create a new folder and it will become a LR subfolder of the highlighted one.
    >"As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location."
    Actually, the new dialog that opens for me (as described above) places me in the selected folder - all I do is click the create folder button in that window and a new subfolder is made. I think the reason LR won't just create a new subfolder without going to a new dialog is that the folders panel lists the "LR folders" which are a parallel universe to the "real folders" on your drive. Perhaps the LR engineers thought that by providing you with the browser/creator dialog, they were giving you more control. Who knows.

  • After import into iPhoto, originals disappear and only thumbnails remain

    After importing photos into iPhoto, working on them and then closing iPhoto, when reopening iPhoto only the thumbnails remain and can't find the originals anywhere on the computer via a Spotlight. Ran Disk Utility and no problems found on HD. Have rebuilt the iPhoto Library. This has happened on multiple occasions.

    Here's a little more background on this problem. JPGs originally were imported from a CD and had camera given filenames, like 20110428-DSC_0118.jpg. After the import into iPhoto the application was closed. The next day when iPhoto was opened and any of the just imported photos doubled click on, a dialog box similar to this appeared that changed with the different file names:
    I did a little research and discovered that the camera that had given filenames were identical to those by a different group of photos from a different camera that already resided in the iPhoto Library! So I imported them again from the CD except this time I used the utility, Better Finder Renamer 8, to batch change the names to something completely different, like Mary_Spring_2011_Visit_001.jpg, and so on. Those were imported into iPhoto. iPhoto was closed and opened and everything was OK. The next day iPhoto was opened and the newly imported photos when double clicked, the same exact dialog box as above opened and the only newly named photos that could be found were the thumbnails. None of the original full-res images can be found doing a Spotlight search of the entire computer. So to answer your second question the same dialog box shows up. I'm confounded as to where they are going. Plus, why would the original filename that was changed be showing up in the dialog box?? That is why Disk Utility was run to see if there was any directory damage. But no problems were found.

  • Doubled list of Develop Presets in Import dialog?

    Hi all, I'm running a week-old trial copy of LR3.3 on Windows, and I seem to have a doubled set of Develop Presets in the Import dialog's 'Apply During Import' dropdown menu. However, I just get the single list in the Presets panel of the Develop module.
    More specifically, in the Import dropdown menu, I get:
    An alphabetical listing of all built-in presets (with no user presets), followed by another alphabetical listing of all built-in presets, this time with the user presets.
    So for example, if there are 20 built-in presets and 1 user preset, my Import dialog dropdown has 41 lines.
    Any suggestions?

    No, factory presets are embedded inside Lightroom and cannot be removed.
    Well, actually, they can, but this is undocumented and you'll have to do it after each update.

  • How can I re-name a single image after importing it to Aperture?

    I am having a problem renaming a single image after importing it - I would have thought it would be simple!  Does anyone know how this can be done?

    Hi RQ,
    Straight out of the manual
    To rename masters
    In the Browser, select an image or group of images.
    Choose Metadata > Batch Change (or press Command-Shift-B).
    In the Batch Change dialog, choose a naming convention from the Version Name Format pop-up menu to specify how you want the masters named.For example, choose Version Name from the Version Name Format pop-up menu to have your master filenames changed to match the names of the corresponding versions in Aperture. If you choose a custom name format, enter the name you want in the Custom Name text field. For more information about naming files, see Automatically Naming Your Imported Images.
    Select the Apply to Master File(s) checkbox, then click OK.
    The master files corresponding to the selected images are renamed. For more information about working with the Batch Change dialog, see Batch Changing Metadata.
    Hope that is what you are after.

  • Colours trouble with a psd file after import/export through Lightroom 4

    I'm working with CS5, and I just bought LR4. I took a psd file (in Adobe 98 space) and I imported it in LR 4, and the exported as psd file in Adobe 98 colour space. Both files, the original one and the other after import/export, are quite different. The saturation of the res is not the same... When I repeat this experinece with a psd file in sRGB or in Prophoto, I have no difference betwwen both files.
    I then conclude that LR doesn't recognize the adobe 98 pprofile of my psd file.
    Is that normal, have you tried this experience, is there a bug in LR or a bug in the way, I proceed?
    Best regards

    When you import there is an Advanced button in one of the dialogs. Click that and you will be able to Paginate against chosen styles. That will break your document into topics.

  • Lightroom 5.6 Import dialog empty on Win 8

    Hello
    For the last couple of weeks I have problems with LR5.6 import window unable to see any files for import on removable card, camera, local drive or network drive. If I drag files from explorer to lightroom the import dialog opens but the import screen remain empty
    Windows 8 64 bit CC licence.
    Problems appeared to begin after update through CC but since then I've tried
    1 - new catalog
    2- reinstall 5.6
    3 - uninstall and revert to 5.4
    All without success same problem - now reinstalled 5.6 and don't think it was an update problem.
    I'm not aware of any LR options that would restrict filetypes showing in the import dialog
    I'm not aware of other changes I've made that would affect file associations etc. - there have been some automatic windows updates.
    There are no problems viewing / opening the files with windows explorer or photoshop etc. and all the images currently in my catalog are fine and editable in LR - it's just the import dialog that is blank
    It doesn't help with workflow!!
    Any ideas would be great

    As per the below article, you need to update your Lightroom to the latest version and in your case, you have already done that.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/import-dialog-blank-lightroom-5.html
    I would suggest you to reset Lightroom preferences and then check the same.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/recover-catalog-images-resetting-lightrooms.html#id_90 046
    Did you update to Win 8.1? If not, install the Win 8.1 update and try the same.
    Hope that Helps!

  • Delete from memory card after import

    Hi,
    I'm a fresh Lightroom newbie, and I am missing how to delete pictures from a memory card as I am importing them into Lightroom. This seems a glaringly obvious feature, so it must be hiding somewhere.
    The only options I can see in the "Import Photos" dialog are
    - Copy photos to a new location and import
    - Copy photos as Digital Negative (DNG) and import
    There doesn't seem to be an option to delete files after import, just various ways to eject the card.
    I've found one way if I choose "Import Photos from Disk" while in Lightroom, there I have a Move option, but why not from device? Every other photo importer has this.
    Thanks,
    Zak

    Thanks for your responses. I'll go ahead and use "Import photos from disk" and change to my card reader. I personally had no problems in my years reading & immediately deleting files from memory cards. I had a few instances where I inadvertently deleted a fresh imported picture on the computer, I used undelete utilities on the card in these cases.
    That said, I still think it would be a good feature. If the users want to do it (2 years of questions), just let them.

  • Option to erase after import- where is it?

    Hi there,
    I've just switched from iPhoto to Aperture 3 and have noticed that when I import photo's from my iPhone or iPad I don't get a dialogue box asking me if I want to delete the photo's after import. I looked on the help section of Aperture and it told me "There will only be a dialog if you have the preference Show alert when import is complete enabled." The problem is that I can't find that option anywhere in the preferences options. Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    As Ernie mentions, that option is available for camera memory cards. This is the only place it is an option AFAIK.
    It has never been an option for either of my iPhones (first 3G and now the 4) in Aperture 3.
    With the camera card dialog there is no option to 'not show' that dialog when you complete an import. This then precludes the possibility of a preference that could be reset.
    iPhoto handles that one differently for some reason.
    Not sure why the difference between programs.

  • Aperture 3.3.2 Not Ejecting Card After Import?

    Has anyone else noticed that Aperture is not automaically ejecting the SD card after an Import even thogh that option is checked on the Import window? I've loaded two cards since the upgrade and so far neither time has it ejected the card as expected.

    Jim,
    Glad you're happy it no longer ejects the card after import. However, that's not the way it's supposed to work if you have the eject card option checked.
    thank you, I think
    The way it is supposed to work is not described in the manual, for it is depending on the make of your camera. The manual only states:
    Note: The options offered in this dialog depend on the way your camera is made available when it is connected. Some cameras connect as mass storage devices. When you import from these cameras, the Erase and Eject options appear. Other cameras simply connect as cameras, and you will not see either Erase or Eject after the import is completed. In that case, you can erase the images directly in the camera.
    I see for all cameras different controls. For my Lumix camera I see the "Eject" button, but no option to choose, if I want automatic eject. The Canon camera does not show any options at all. The automatic "Eject" option I have never seen for any camera I had - only an automatic "Erase", that I never used, for it is dangerous. So up to now I had to live with auto eject, because there never has been an option to select differently.
    Apple certainly could improve the documentation of this feature in the otherwise very good manual.

  • Trashing images after import

    Hi,
    I must be dense, I can't find help with this anywhere. I would like Aperture to move images to the trash automatically after import. Specifically, I import from a folder, and would like that folder to be cleared after every import. I think the applescript brick on the import screen can help with this, but I don't know enough applescript to do this.
    Any advice please?
    Thanks!

    The following script should get you started. It asks for the folder and then for the extension of the files you want to delete. Then it asks if you want to empty the trash.
    -- Set folder to delete
    set f to choose folder with prompt "Pick a folder:"
    -- Set the file extension
    set ext to text returned of (display dialog "What is the file extension?" default answer "" buttons {"OK"} default button "OK")
    tell application "Finder"
    try
    delete (every item of folder f whose name extension is ext)
    end try
    end tell
    -- Display a dialog window asking whether to empty trash or not
    set theButton to button returned of (display dialog "Would you like to empty the trash?" with icon caution buttons {"Empty Trash", "Cancel"} default button "Cancel" giving up after 10)
    if theButton is "Empty Trash" then
    tell application "Finder"
    empty trash
    end tell
    end if
    I think asking for the folder and the file extension is safer then just blindly going off and blowing away a folder but thats me. You could change it and hardcode in those values.
    If you put this in as the Applescript Action in the import window it wil run when the import is finished.
    If you try this *I strongly recommend you do this as a test situation at first* Make a new empty library and make sure you import the files into your regular library before trying this.
    I offer no warranties, guarantees, or other ees.

    If you leave the folder or the extension empty the scripts does bad things. They need to be checked to see if they have a value before calling the finder to delete

  • TS2518 My RAW (nikon .NEF) files changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import.

    My RAW (nikon .NEF) files are literally changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import. I.e. The correct photo (light/color/etc) seems to be there and then a second later the photo changes. It's almost like it's showing a quick enhanced version then back to basic raw image. Started within last two updates.
    Is there a fix or is this the straw that forces a switch to Lightroom?

    Just recall that Aperture (or any other 3rd party raw converter) has NO information about the JPEG preview and how it was made.  That information is camera-vendor proprietary.
    Also note that there are like 6 "picture styles" in camera and this change you're seeing is entirely dependent on how you have them set.  If you have your camera set to "vivid" or something you'll see more of a change than if your on-camera is set to "faithful."
    That said, people here ALSO complain that Aperture's initial renders are TOO vivid, the exact opposite of your complaint, so you can't please everybody (in some cases, it seems you can't please ANYBODY ;-)
    Aperture provides a starting point.  Again, if you don't like it, you can tell Aperture to go with a "punchier" interpretation at its first render.  In the import dialog, try setting Aperture to use the "auto enhance" preset which is built in.  Aperture will add a little vibrancy adjustment, and it will add a curve, which will greatly add punch to the image.  If you want adjustments in a different direction, you can create a preset and set it at import.
    The only thing Aperture CANNOT do is what you're asking, which is "take the JPEG that my camera vendor generates through some voodoo and try and render the raw file just like that."  It's, unfortunately, impossible to do.

  • Very low resolution previews using loupe in import dialog

    Hi,
    I had connected Canon 6D via usb to import photos to Lr. However in import dialog using loupe view I get very low resolution previews even if I zoom all way up. It doesn't make any changes in preview resolution, it's like 200x300 pixels at most. I shoot both raw and jpeg and it is the same. Tried full card format. Doesn't help. I can zoom normaly in camera screen. Is it related to the fact that I connected camera directly via usb instead of using card reader? I use latest Lr (5.6) and latest camera firmware (1.1.4).

    A raw file usually has two previews embedded in it, a tiny thumbnail preview and a larger zoomable preview.  It sounds like LR is only able to retrieve the tiny thumbnail preview even though you are able to zoom in on previews in the camera.   Unless the camera, itself, is actually decoding the raw file to produce the zoomable preview and none is in the raw file for LR to see. 
    You can use the following website to investigate what previews are available in a raw file:  http://regex.info/exif.cgi  You want to click the Browse button next to Local Image File and navigate to a raw file and click Ok, then click the View Image From File button, then wait for the raw file to be uploaded, after which information about the raw file will be shown including the sizes of the previews and raw image.
    As to your question about whether using a card reader might help, try it and see.  There could be a system driver getting in the way when the camera, itself, is plugged in.

  • How to keep the settings of leica t after import the photo??

    After import the photo(.dng, by leica t), it looks very different!
    This is the original photo before the importing(preview in the import dialog):
    And the following is the picture after importing:
    Brighter, and different color!
    It seems like the settings of leica t is not be kept.
    I want to keep the settings of leica t, just like the preview in the import dialog!
    Does anyone knows how to do it?

    Can't be done.
    What you see when you first open a file in Lightroom is the jpeg preview from the camera that's embedded in the Raw file: after a few seconds Lightroom generates its own preview, with the effect you describe.
    There's no way round this - you'll have to adjust Lightroom's settings to resemble the in-camera results you want, and save the settings as the new defaults.
