As RAW images import into LR I watch as they post but then they seem to update and darken. Help!
I'm shooting in RAW on a Sony a900 and the images look fine on the back of the camera. When I import the raw images to LR, as I watch them come in they look fine, but once all of them get into the library I watch as something seems to update and darken all of them. I have the imports set as default settings. It's taking a lot more time for post-processing and driving me crazy. Anyone got some insight on a setting to change to fix it?
Thanks!
This is a common question. If you go to the LR FAQ:

I recently purchased a Canon 7D. I own Adobe Photoshop/Bridge CS5. I cannot open my raw images in Bridge. I have tried to download the plug in but does not seem to work. Please Help, I need to be able to open my raw images in Bridge ASAP. I do not want to upgrade to CS6 at this time.

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?
When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

Hi. I saved the contacts from previous phone onto the sim. I'm going to 'Import SIM Contacts". After I've imported the contacts and go to Contatcs after that they are all there, but they seem to disappear again as if they're not saved. This happens no matter how many times I import them.

Importing raw images (.CR2) into iPhoto'08
I am trying to import 17Gb worth of raw (.CR2) images from an external hard drive as JPEGs, but in iPhoto I find I have to import them first before I convert them to JPEGs. Does anyone know how I can import them into iPhoto as JPEGs or tell me of a software that can convert them without importing the photos first? (Keep in mind that this software needs to be *leopard friendly*.)
Thanks, Supernova329Supernova329:
There is a way to batch convert the cr2 raw files to jpgs with the demo version of iView MediaPro. Launch iVMP and import your folder(s) of raw files. Then select a folders worth of file and use the Action->Convert Image files menu option. In the settings select JPG as the format, Size=use image size, Settings=color =best, and Resolution=use image resolution. Then hit the Convert button and pick or create a new folder to put them in.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
RAW image import (problem in iphoto and aperture)
either the problem is me (my understanding of what I am trying to do) or something has gone awry with both aperture and iphoto...
when importing RAW images (canon 40d camera) many of which are shot in monochrome and show up as such on the camera (they even show up in b/w on the preview import in iphoto and aperture) ALL images once imported to both iphoto and aperture are in full color. This was not the case on two previous imports (shots taken in b/w RAW imported as b/w RAW images) but now seems to happen every time. I have restarted computed, reimported, checked all settings and nothing is working.
I am missing something, yes? Thanks for any help.no ... you will have to export it as a .tiff or .jpeg ...
and then import into aperture ...
although aperture does have a great monochrome tool worth checking out ...
something to consider is to shoot your monochromes in RAW+JPG and import into aperture ...
see here for working with RAW+JPG:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=380111&tstart=0
when stacked you will have the B&W from in camera and the colour RAW file ... tweak the monochrome mixer until the RAW is to your liking ... you can use the B&W JPG for a baseline ... -
More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder. I would like to edit these into a single video production. I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them). However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work? Or are these files incompatible with iMovie? If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro). Suggestions???
Many thanks in advance for your time and considerationYes, I tried that. The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size. I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence. I clicked on the first one and opened it. The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go. When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie. The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.

Why are my RAW images imported in to Lightroom 5 being de-saturated?
Lately, in LR 5.3 and 5.5, every time I import RAW images they show up de-saturated. In the thumbnail they look right, but in both the library and develop mode main screens they show up very flat and de-saturated.
This is the first time I have had this problem.....never had it in V2-4.
I am shooting with a Canon 5D MIII.
I thought that there may be a preset during import that is doing this, but I do not think that is the case.
I need some help, any ideas what is causing this? I cant process all my weddings with this issue.....it would take forever to fix.
JPImages can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area. Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram? -
Shortcut to open RAW image directly into Photoshop
Isn't there a keyboard/mouse shortcut that will allow someone to open a RAW image from within Lightroom directly into Photoshop...and in the process, bypass the 'Edit Type Options' dialog (i.e. Edit Original; Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments; Edit Copy)??
I could have sworn that I had read somewhere in Martin Evening's Lightroom for Photographers 1.1 addendum that there was a way to do this (I recall it was something along the lines of holding down the option/alt key while choosing 'Edit in Photoshop from the contextual menu, or maybe it was a direct hotkey that could be entered simply by selecting the image and pressing the defined hotkey) - or maybe I am crazy and I am totally making this up :O
Anyone know what the magic password is for this?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!Wow!
Michael D Sullivan...Part of me really wants to strangle you right now...but, I will resist, as I am not the type to flame people on forums/chat groups...those people are lame...
Nonetheless, you are completely missing my point...STILL!!
You had mentioned:
>The only way to open a RAW file in Photoshop directly is through Camera Raw.
Really? Come on dude...You don't think I knew that...my grandmother who has never used Photoshop in her life knows that much...Try to extrapolate meaning from someone's post prior to writing back with a ridiculous response like that...
Then you went on to say:
>It's that or convert it to a TIFF/PSD file and edit in Photoshop.
Yahtzee! Someone give this guy a cigar! (i.e. Yes Michael, this is what I meant)...Let's review my response to the initial (legitimate) confusion about the post I'd started this thread with...shall we?
I responded to the intial confusion (Posts #2, #3) about my original post (Post #1) by saying:
>I would like to have a way in which, using a keyboard/mouse shortcut of some sort, I could open a RAW file
WITH THE LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS APPLIED, directly into Photoshop, thereby bypassing the 'Edit with Photoshop CS3' options window all-together (and in the process of opening this RAW file, obviously Lightroom would convert the RAW image into a TIFF file...)
I am sorry Michael, but I don't think I can dumb this down any further...I even went so far as to state:
>"(and in the process of opening this RAW file, obviously Lightroom would convert the RAW image into a TIFF file...)".
I hope you were in a bad mood and just felt like being a d&#k when you responded to that post with:
>"Read my post, #2. There's no copy involved. The only way to open a RAW file in Photoshop directly is through Camera Raw."
Do you honestly think I didn't understand that? Do you still honestly not get what I am talking about?
Let me give you a visual...
Have a look at this screenshot
Then view this one
Have we reached Nirvana yet? Do we feel enlightened? Have we gained any more clarity on the situation yet?
If not, then you're wasting my time!
If so...well...there's not going to be an if so, is there Michael? I figure that the chances of you responding to this post with anything meaningful is unlikely at best...
Oh well...Have a nice day! -
Article - creating complimentary colour groups / colour matching images imported into Illustrator?
greetings all.
i have a number of pictures that i have imported into illustrator.
some are live traced vector images
some are bitmaps from photoshop
here is my question. i want to take an image and create a swatch from the range of colours expressed in the image. alternatively i'd like a workflow that allows me to match complimentary colours to what is already there.
i am pretty sure that it can be done via a live trace but often it doesnt give me all the colours i would like to use?
are there any other ways in illustrator, 3 rd party programs or other recommendations that you recommend?
thank you kindly

Images imported into Pages are blurry when sent as PDF
Just got Pages and am trying to produce my first newsletter. Using a template, I dragged some images over an existing image in the template. I also added some images on my own and used the masking tool to crop them. Pics varied in size from 1200x1600 to 3264x2448. They looked good in Pages, but when I used the Send via Mail as PDF function, all of the images appeared blurry in the PDF.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong and how I can get clear pics in my newsletter?
Thanks.Pages '09 v4.2. and 10.8.2.
I just selected the Fashion newsletter, then dropped a 1920x1200x72dpi sRGB image onto the woman's image. It automatically resized to fit the frame. Saved the Pages document. Then, used the Send via Mail as PDF option.
In Mail, I selected the PDF, and then tapped the spacebar to bring the PDF page up in QuickLook. I then dragged this adjacent to the open Pages document and could not detect (at 72 dpi) any visual differences in color or resolution.
From QuickLook, you can view the PDF in the default PDF application. Does it still resolve differently in Preview or Acrobat Reader?
I think it was mentioned here in the Pages community earlier that Pages and Preview use different OS X imaging libraries than Mail. Anyone care to comment? -
EXIF time difference once images imported into Organizer in PSE8
I have been frustrated for a very long time and did some reading on the web - The solution: Sorry it is a bug
in PSE* and cannot be fixed!!!!!
The problem: Once I have imported images into PSE8 Organizer the EXIF time is converted to exactly two hours earlier, i.e. to GMT whereas I am at GMT+2. Note that the time on my Canon 7D and my computer (on windows 7) are correct!!!!!! If I do not use organizer, I do not have the problem!
From what I have read it is a bug in PSE and there is no permanent fix, but really.... How can Adobe not solve the problem?
Will it help if I purchase another copy of PSE8, is there a PERMANENT fix available and if so, what?
I am really frustrated, as I want to use the organizer, but cannit do it as the time is of great importance to me in my wildlife photography!!!!
Anyone?
RudiWonderful! This EXIF standard, 2.2, http://www.kodak.com/global/plugins/acrobat/en/service/digCam/exifStandard2.pdf explains to me that the original form of the material digitized could be a "slide", "paper", "map" and so forth; so it's a standard for many types of digital still "cameras", not just a standard for typical, portable consumer cameras. EXIF time recording is first described on page 55.
Most of the time (or all of the time for me?), in Lightroom, the "date time original" and "Time Date digitized" has been the same and changing the original date will obviously (?) change the digitized date, too.
Thanks!
PS: re-reading my post, I don't want anyone to think I was really getting RAW data from my Sony. It's a great little pocket camera but it only produces JPG's. -
Why won't my RAW files import into LR4?
Hello all,
Something very strange is going on with LR4. I have been using LR since version 1 and never had this happen before. When I have an SD card filled with jpegs and RAW files from my Fuji X100 camera and try to import all of them into LR 4, ONLY the jpeg files get imported. None of the RAW files get moved into LR at all. I have to create a new folder, move all the RAW files so that they are alone, and do a second import. Why is this? Why cannot I import all at one time, not even thinking about the difference?
Seems absolutely stupid that my RAW files are being ignored.
Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.treborsetag wrote:
Sorry, I assumed that you were shooting RAW + jpg. What I think you are now saying is that you have a shoot in which some of the files were shot in RAW and some in jpg? In that case, I don't know why it would only import RAW on the first go round and jpgs on the second. When I have mixed files (I shoot only RAW, but panoramas are by definition only jpgs), they all import on the first try. In fact, even video files come in at the same time.
If you did shot RAW+Jpg then you could either check the box, in which case you will see two files, or uncheck it, in which case you will see one (with the other hidden). But since that's not the case, that check box doesn't apply to you.
Right. Most of my shots are jpegs. But on rare occasions, I want a RAW file so I hit the RAW button on the X100 and then shoot RAW for one shot. This last import I had 10-15 RAW shots and they would not import along with all the jepgs. This happens everytime I have mixed file formats. Very frustrating.
Thanks for trying!
