Can Lightroom3 use the Lightroom 4 RAW file loader?

For those who can't run Windows 7, who bought a new camera and wrongly assumed that support for that camera wouldn't require an upgrade of LIghtroom AND an upgrade of the operating system (and RAM and graphics card and ...) is there a way to use the LR4 RAW loader in LR3 ?
And no, the thought of adding another workflow step by going through DNG does not appeal in any way.

Both, the graphics hardware wasn't up to it and there are hardware components there aren't drivers for - and it can't be upgraded.
Seems the computer is well past its sell by date.
Every system at work I try the MUA tells me it can't be upgraded and needs a fresh install, even the HP XW series workstations.
But my own computers seem to be too old and bandy-kneed to run Windows 7 at all.
I guess the pace of change in laptop hardware has been faster than I thought.
Now, if I could use work's computer that'd be a temporary solution until I have a budget.
But it's in Belgium via remote desktop from the UK

  • To test how can we use the opt  'logical file name' to name the file based

    Hi Sir/Madam,
               to test how can we use the opt  'logical file name' to name the file based on the selection made in the dtp run for extracting data as flat file.

    Hi Vishali,
    In the DTP select the file location as application server and give the logical file path. The actual file and logical path can be created using transaction "FILE" and "AL11".
    Rest of the process is same as that of extraction from local file.

  • How can I display and use the full RAW file?

    Hi,
    my camera (Canon S95) has a sensor with 4:3 aspect ratio and thus saves all RAW files in this format. Additionally, the camera can automatically create JPGs with a cropped ratio (e.g. 3:2 or 16:9). This is very helpful because you can see the target format already on the camera screen (with black bars on top and bottom), which helps the composition. However, when processing the photos on the big screen afterwards, it often also helps the photo to adjust the ratio a little bit and therefore use the additional information saved in the bigger 4:3 RAW file. This works very well with many of the freely available software tools.
    The problem found in Lightroom is now that it only shows the RAW photo in the cropped format and up to know I have found no way to display or use the full RAW format. So my question is: Which settings do I have to change to use the full format? What do I need to change?
    Searching a little bit on the web I found many other photographes having the exactly same problem with many different cameras. However none of them reported to have a solution for this. Still I am pretty sure that there must be a solution, since otherwise this would be a really heavy bug within Lightroom and I cannot imagine that Adobe would leave this matter unsolved.
    So I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
    Many Thanks

    Hi Jao, Victoria, Lee Jay,
    Thanks for clearification. Do you have additional information about when this fix will be available and whether at least some popular old cameras will be supported?
    What I do not get is why Adobe would need to redo all existing cameras. I think this is a more general issue, where Lightroom misinterpretes the exif data which includes both the exif image height/width as well as the cropped image height/width. Intepreting this information correctly, any software should be able to display both - the full image and the cropped area (as shown by many cheap or free software tools). In the internet I found another workaround for the issue in Lightroom, which is undermining this point: When setting the cropped image height/width to the numbers of exif image height/width manually (e.g. with exif tools), Lightroom actually is able to display the full 4:3 picture.
    So this bug should be easily fixed for all cameras and I have no clue why Adobe still has no fixed it with Lightroom already available in version 4.2.
    Cheers

  • How can I use EOS 6D RAW files with Aperture 3.2.4?

    The EOS 6D RAW support for Aperture requires Aperture 3.4 or later. I tried to update to Aperture 3.4 but that requires OSX 10.8.3. I am stuck with OSX 10.6.8 for a while because I use Adobe CS5.5 and it is not compatable with newer OSX. So i do not seem to have a path for 6D RAW support. I can use my EOS 20D RAW files just fine. What is it about the 6D RAW file that necessitates OSX 10.6.8 or Aperture 3.4?

    The common way is to try converting to DNG and then use the DNGs with Aperture. The drawback (other than the format conversion) is you lose camera specific optimisations with the DNG (mostly noise reduction tweaks for specific ISO values and colour tweaks).
    In the past it would have been easy to edit a few config files to get Aperture to recognise new cameras with similar sensor tech as existing cameras, but this data is now encoded so can't be changed. It is a bit frustrating when you know there is nothing special about the sensor and Aperture would be able to process the data just fine.

  • Can I use the Lightroom 5 Upgrade on a Lightroom 4.4 Student and Teacher edition?

    Hi there,
    I currently own a Lightroom 4 Student&Teacher edition. I am pretty happy with it, but thinking about upgrading to the 7D Mark II which is not supported by Lightroom. I am only a student for a very short while longer so I either have to buy a LR 5 Student&Teacher now (which could be a close call due to my student status running out in two weeks) or buy the upgrade version later. (They pretty much cost the same) But I don't know if my version of Lightroom can be upgraded. I do remember there used to be limitations in place not letting you upgrade, but as far as I remember this was a Photoshop limitation. Couldn't find any hard facts about this however, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Manu

    To be clear, you only need to qualify as a student to purchase your initial version of Lightroom. Once you have that serial number that begins with 1160, you qualify to purchase any and all upgrades in the future at the upgrade price. If Lightroom 4 is still installed on the computer, then the upgrade installer will find the Lightroom 4 serial number and you will only be required to provide the new serial number for the upgrade. If you decide to purchase a new computer, which will probably happen at some point in the future, then Lightroom 4 will not have been installed and you will need both the Lightroom 4 serial number as well as the serial number for the upgrade installation.
    We see a lot of people coming to the forums and say that they no longer have their serial number and want to install Lightroom on a new computer. Serial numbers are critical, and should be recorded in multiple places. One of the best ways to make sure that you can always access your serial numbers is to register your software after it has been installed. Then you can always access your Adobe account and retrieve required serial numbers. But as a safeguard, it would be a good idea to store serial number files on multiple hard drives and even in a physical card file. Without the serial numbers, it's like having a new car and no key to start it.

  • Can Prelude use the MXF preview files instead of the full size files?

    It takes forever to load and view my full size MXF files from an XDCamHD disk. (It can also cause Prelude to crash)  It seems like it would be very helpful to be able to view the tiny preview files contained in the "Sub" folder.  You could quickly review your media, decide which files to transfer and then do so with the originals.  Has anyone been able to see those files in the Prelude Ingest window?  I only see the file icon, not the video media.
    I had been using the Sony XDCam Transfer App with Final Cut, but am now trying to create a better workflow all inside Adobe software.

    Hi AEDave -
    Thanks for your post.
    Wanted to share that we have been working on the performance with the XDCAM optical disc thumbnail load times (as well as other performance enhancements for this format). We are seeing a nice improvement on that front in our recent testing. And as Wes mentioned above we are also looking into how to best handle the proxy files the camera generates as well. Just wanted you to know we have improvements in the works for your workflow!
    Thanks -
    Michael

  • Can I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

  • How can I use the m4p music files in e.g. Power Director

    Power Director cant read the m4p format and converting them in a readable format like wav is blocked by the itunes software. Is there any possibility to import these files in Power Director ?
    Thanks fo help.

    The only way to use a track purchased from the iTunes Music Store in other applications is to burn the track to an audio CD. You can then use that CD just like any other audio CD.

  • How can I use the iCloud backup files?

    Recently I lost my passcode and I had to reset my iPhone. Some of my data is on iCloud but I don't know how to use my camera roll again in my Photos. All I want is to know how can I store my pictures and videos from iCloud to my Photos.

    Your camera roll is included in your device backup by default, unless you excluded it in settings.  However, you can't view the photos and videos (or anything else) in the backup; you can only restore it to your device.  Later this fall, iCloud Photo Library will be introduced along with iOS 8.  At that time, you can start storing and accessing your photos and videos in iCloud (see https://www.apple.com/icloud/preview/).
    If you want to store your camera roll, import it to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

  • If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

    Hi Folks,
    I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my  Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
    So is that doable?
    Thanks in advance

    And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

  • Can I use the same tpz file from PI 7.0 to PI 7.1 ?

    I have configured JDBC sender (Oracle 10.2) to ABAP proxy receiver scenario using PI 7.0
    The customer now wants to install PI 7.1 and they want this to be a fresh installation, not an upgrade.
    If I export my configurations to the tpz, can I import the same in PI 7.1 as it is?
    Also, please let me know is there are any other risks that I should consider.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Prasad

    I was able to get some helpful answers in this thread
    PI 7.0  & PI 7.1
    What I understand is that it is mostly prossible but minor adjustments may be required. I guess I will understand the intricacies when it is actually done.
    Thanks all for your replies. I have awarded points for the helpful answers.

  • How can I transfer my edited RAW files to a flash drive?

    I have 30 RAW files (NEF) from a holiday party that I have edited, and would like to give to a friend for further editing. We both work on Macs. I selected the 30 photos in Bridge, went to "Copy to" and selected the flash drive. The raw files along with their xmp files show up. But unfortunately when I bring up the files on the flash drive using the "View as Cover Flow" option in Preview, they show up in the original RAW form - as if I'd just downloaded them off my camera again - without edits.
    Many people have mentioned exporting and DNG conversion. With regard to the first: when I select photos, right click, and go to "export to" my only option is "hard drive". Once I select that, nothing appears to happen. No new folders or files seem to appear in my hard drive. With regard to the second: I am nervous about losing information via the DNG conversion. I want to make sure my friend has all the information pertaining to each photo in the event that she needs to do a more significant round of second edits.
    How can I achieve this transfer? Also, should the fact that my friend plans on using Lightroom for edits bear any significance on my decisions? Thank you...

    The Save as DNG is not in Bridge, It is only available in Camera Raw.
    Open your file in ACR, at the lower left click the SAVE IMAGE button. From there you can select several different formats.
    Select DNG and adjust the options. You can also embed the original raw file inside the DNG (but gives larger file size)
    It's not clear if you are opening the files directly from the flash drive or saving them first to the hard drive.
    I would recommend always saving files to the hard drive, eject the flash drive, and then open from there rather than directly from flash drive
    We've all had flash drives that go bad or act wonky.
    Not trying to work on the files while they still reside on the flash drive is just one less problem to worry about.
    Good Luck

  • How can i use the project code instead of project xml?

    hello
    i use the sessionbean+toplink structure,after i finish the o-r mapping by using the mapping work bench,i generate the project xml file,then in the "session.xml" file,i refer to the project xml,then i can use it from sessionbean.
    i hear that if i use the project code instead of project xml file,it will be more performant,is that true?
    otherwise,how can i use the project code instead of project xml file?i mean, in "session.xml", i can use the "<project-xml>" tag to refer to the project xml file,then in my session bean,i get the server session by read the "session.xml" file.but if i use the project code,how can i refer it from the "session.xml"?the examples that come with the toplink installation only tell me how can i use the project xml file within the session bean,it don't give me any clue about using the project code in the sesion bean,who can give me a step-by-step instruction and code snippet?
    thank you very much?

    There is a slight performance gain during session load at startup but there is no difference at runtime. The choice of which to use is dependent upon you build process. Whether it is easier to submit a new version of the class into the comile build process vs an XML file. In most cases it is just a preference of the development team.
    When you use the project-class you'll need to generate the source code and compile it into your system. Typically it is packaged with the persistent classes. You may need to configure your environment so that the class-loaders have access to these classes (same for the XML case).
    When using the project-class you simply replace the project-xml entry like this:
    <project-class>oracle.toplink.demos.employee.relational.EmployeeProject</project-class>
    The DTD for the session.xml file is found at <TOPLINK_HOME>\core\sessions_4_5.dtd. It is also in the documentation at:

  • How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

    How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

    Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.
