Cannot import ORF-files from Olympus E-520

Hi,
One of my friends has this problem:
When he plugs in his new Olympus E-520 to iPhoto '08, and clicks 'import', this output comes:
http://upit.jtw.dk/dl/q29/
Sorry about it being in danish, but basicly what it says is that the files are unreadable, and cannot be imported for that reason. This seems strange to me, as iPhoto should support ORF-files.
Also I have not been able to find anyone with a similar problem on the internet.
Why Apple, oh why ?..

Is your friend shooting RAW format? If so then the camera is not supported. Mac OS X 10.5: Digital camera RAW formats supported.
Have him try using Image Capture or a card reader to get the files to the desktop and see if they will import from there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

DNG Converter.

It's a way of opening the Raw files from your OM-D EM-1 without having to upgrade to LR5.
In short, you open the Raw files from the camera uing the DNG converter, convert the Raw files to DNGs. Then you edit the DNG files in LR4.4.

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

Cannot import video file from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11.

Hi this is my first post on this site.
I am having trouble trying to import video files from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11. The computer does not even recognize this camcorder. When I do a PC connection, iphoto comes up, but all it tells me to import are the pictures that I have taken.
No matter what I do, I cannot find the folder for my camcorder in the device section in the finder.
When I try to import it on imovie, I only get an option for facetime camera and not my vixia.
Please help!

Trouble importing ORF files from E-PL5 into LR5.3

Hello, A small percentage of the RAW files from my Olympus E-PL5 look "blurry" or "out of focus" when viewed using LR5.3 (Windows 8.1). However, most of the RAW files from this camera look fine when viewed in LR (even pictures from the same shooting session). When I view the "blurry" files using Olympus Viewer 2, they no longer look out of focus. I can then edit these files using viewer 2 with no difficulties. Does anyone have an idea as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I mean ORF files. Found out after some reading it's due to the version PS10. Converted files to .DNG and then it can be imported. Thanks

Upgraded to Lightroom 3.6, cannot import NEF files from D700

Hi!
I just upgraded my Lightroom to 3.6 on my MacBook pro running Lion. Since then, I cannot import my pictures anymore, either from the camera directly, through a compact flash reader (SanDisk) or by adding the picture directly from my hard-drive. The standard Mac utility to download images work fine.
Lightroom tells me that it cannot read the files, with Lithgtroom 3.5 it worked (nothing changed in the meantime Camera profiles, OS X, etc.).
You can find one NEF file I cannot import here (dropbox link) : http://db.tt/6zSiNzYK
Any idea?

Thank you Sean,
I'll try that once I'll have managed to get the import working. I created another catalog since last time I thought the import worked but again I got stuck.
Do you know anything else I could try? Ideally, do you know how I could get a better diagnosis? By the way, I already got in touch with the CS but all I got was a lousy answer (update my ACR... for Lightroom -_- )
I'm using Lightroom since the first version and I start to really be discouraged.
Thanks for your help,

Snow leopard and orf file from Olympus OMD EM1

Hello, is there any chance to see the preview of these orf file without upgrading to 10.8.5 or later?
I have Aperture 3.2.4 with Digital Camera Raw 3.13.0 and it works fine with the Olympus E 620 orf files.
I can see the preview of these orf also from desktop. without opening Aperture.
Upgrading to Olympus OMD EM1, the new orf files aren't read anymore...it seems that I need Digital camera Raw 5.03 to see them, but the dmg can't be opened with 10.6.8....
I don't want to upgrade , because I like very much Snow leopard, but it is frustrating not to see the preview of the Olympus EM1 orf files...every time I have to open them with Olympus Raw Converter ( Olympus Viewer 3), that is very slow....
Any suggestion?
Thank You for the attention
Bye
Susanna

Hy Brody, thank You for your kind reply
I think that I won't be able to fix this because I've read somewhere that Preview share the same raw converter of Aperture and IPhoto, but I run Aperture 3.2.4 ( Aperture 3.5 is required for EM1 and doesn't support my SL !!) and a very old Iphoto ( I don't use it since a long time ago), that I can upgrade only to 9.2.3.
Now I must find if Iphoto 9.2.3 can open these raw from EM1, so probably also Preview could...but I'm not hopefully.
Thank U very much again!!

Cannot import .mov files (from JVC HM100) into After Effects CS6

Hi,
I am trying to import .mov files into After Effects CS6. Unfortunately, when I try to import the .mov files, AE tells me "After Effects error: 210_0001_01.mov cannot be imported -- this '.mov' file is damaged or unsupported." The file works in Premiere CS6. I have the latest Quicktime, and even with Quicktime 7 Pro installed, I got that same result. I would appreciate any advice on this problem.
Thank you.

I'm going to set up a new sequence with just the clip I'm using after effects on. I'm going to import that sequence into AE.
Your footage is currently a long-gop codec, which may be giving Mocha fits. So instead of Dynamic Link, you may want to simply export the clip in question from Premiere using a lossless codec. Remember to leave handles on the footage.
To get back to Premiere you would then render in a lossless codec. It's not very handy, but it will get the job done.
Give it a try and see what happens.

CANNOT import RAW files from CANON 40D to Lightroom 1.2

My color setup in 40D is sRGB
my system is windows XP
but when I want to import files from my CF card
it will show the message: some import operation were not performed.
the files use an unsupported color mode.
pls tell me how to solve this problem~

Sorry for the above post. My daughter hit the keyboard. I am having the same trouble and I have tried shooting in Standard Raw and with the attached Jpg. I get a message that states it is a unsupported color format. Any ideas? It sounds like everyone else has got this to work but it simply will not work for me. I am running Vista if that makes a difference.

Cannot Import .CRW Files from Canon S70

I have imported thousands of RAW format photographs from my Canon 20D (.CR2) and 1Ds (TIF); however, none of the .CRW files from my Canon S70 will import. There is nothing wrong with the files themselves, as I can open them in Photoshop CS2 and Bridge. Specifically, I am using the option to import a copy and convert to .DNG. I have not tried any of the other import options. Has anyone experienced this or know how to get past this stumbling block.

On a lark, I checked for updates in Adobe Bridge. It indicated that there was a RAW update available, so I installed it. Lo and behold, I was then able to import the .CRW files from my Canon S70.
Can anyone explain this? Since I had CS2 installed well before ever installing Lightroom, is it possible that the presence of the RAW libraries that were already installed with CS2, prevented the installation of the newer RAW libraries when I installed Lightroom 1.0? And even so, what would be different - I was able to manipulate .CRW raw files in Bridge and CS2 before installing the latest raw update.

Cannot import .mts files from SD card. Never received an error message before, but now it is telling me that DVD content is protected, which it is not.

I always import video files, every week, from an SD card (.mts file) no problem. All of a sudden today I'm getting an error message about the content (says "DVD" contact) is likely protected, which it is not.

What happens if, instead of using your operating system to move the files from the card, you leave your card in the camcorder, attach the camcorder to your computer via USB, then use Add Media/From Flip or Camera to open the Video Importer to get the video from the camcorder to your computer (as teh computer's instructions suggest)?

Lightroom 5 has stopped importing ORF files from my Olympus E5 using a card reader. I have version 5.7.1 with Camera Raw 8.7.!

I was having no problem with the imports until the last update. LR, PS, and CR are all up to date.

There are a gazillion threads on this. Seems like predominantly a Mac issue.
You need to change the permissions on the destination directory to Read and Write.

Cannot import RAW files from Nikon D70

I have an iMac G5 running Leopard 10.5.2. When I try to import to iPhoto '08 from my Nikon D70, I get a message that says "The volume for DSC-xxxx.NEF cannot be found." The program then stalls and I have to force quit to get out of it. This happens whether trying to import photos from a card reader or from a desktop folder. I've tried re-installing both iPhoto and NIkon software to no avail. Any suggestions?

tervguy
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Cannot import jpg files from any devices & files

Everytime I want to use Premiere Elements 11 with importing from hard DD from my computer or camera using usb connection, I get this error message: File Dimensions(Width/heights) too large whereas they work fine with Windows Movie Maker. Therefore, I've never used this software ever since purchased. Frustrating.

Without exact system info and info about your files (or for that matter your camera) nobody can help you.
