Difficulty importing image files

I am trying to import image files (jpeg, psd etc. ) into Adobe Premiere but an error message keeps coming up, "The video bit depth of this file is unsupported". I know for certain that these type of files should be supported but I am still getting this message.

It means what it says - your files are 16bit or 32bit or have unsuitable color profiles/ color modes. Convert them in PS.

Cannot Import Image Files

Hello, I'm having a issue that has suddenly and unexpectedly happened. After Effects will no longer allow me to import image files. I'm running a Mac with Yosemite. I've deleted preferences, I've restarted the computer. The only thing I haven't done is uninstalled and reinstalled.
Any thoughts on this perplexing issue would be great. Using After Effects CC14

That's bizarre. A reinstall used to be the first thing we'd do (back in ye olde AEv1.0 - v4.0 days). It's the last thing to try these days. But, AE is one of the more complex apps you'll ever have on your machine. I suppose it's possible still as brittle as the olden days.
There are many dangerous methods Mac people try when trashing an application in Yosemite. Most of us have no clue where all of the fiddly bits are hidden. How did you accomplish your reinstall?
I wonder if any of the AE wonks or Adobe folks have an opinion on when reinstalling is simply the easiest thing to do. Is reinstalling only a reasonable option for specific issues?

Is there some way to import image files directly into an open document?

Is there some way of importing a series of image files, say jpegs, directly into an open document, rather than having to open all the image files and having to drag and drop each individual one into the open document? Specifically, I'm a dentist and I often get digital xray images emailed to me from other offices. But they come as 16 or 18 individual image files and I have to put them into a virtual "xray mount", so I can view them all at once, rather than having to open all the images and toggle among them. So I open a blank document in PS (CS4), then I navigate to the folder containing all the image files I received, select all of them and open them all. Back in PS, I now have to select each image tab and drag the image into the blank "mount" and close the image. That new image then becomes its own layer in the "mount" document. But I have to repeat this 18 times for each patient! I was thinking if there was a way to open the new "mount" document then select all the image files and somehow "import" all the image files directly into document - essentially "automate" the process - that'd save me BOATLOADS of time and aggravation! Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks alot!! Dr. G.

Thanks, Curt! When u say "animate" do u mean File | Automate...? Inside Automate, I can't find "Make Frames from Layers"...if you do mean "Animate" I can't find that menu. Zeno replied with a BRILLIANT clarification:
<<Yes, but after you've got all your images as layers in a new document you can simply Select->All Layers and then drag them all to your document in one fell swoop.>>
I tried that and it works like a charm! I select all 20 layers in the new document that "stacking" creates and just drag them all onto the virtual "mount" document. That's it! Then I just move each of these layers around as I would otherwise...it's just 1 click and 1 drag/drop. Unless someone comes up with a way to actually "import" all the images directly into the "mount" document, I think this appears to be the most efficient route to follow.
I really appreciate your guys' assistance! It's so great that you guys monitor the forum and help us out with our Photoshop problems! What an awesome program it is, right?
Thx again!

IndesingCS2 server scriptable pluign: how to import image file into a frame.?

Hello I am creating a scriptable pluign for indesingcs2 server. Now I am stuck at importing a image file in a image frame on a document. The code which was running fine for indesingcs2 desktop is given below. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////// IDFile sysFile = SDKUtilities::PMStringToSysFile(const_cast<PMString* >(&ImageFileNamewithcompletepath)); InterfacePtr<ICommand> importCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss)); if(!importCmd) return kFalse; InterfacePtr<IImportFileCmdData> importFileCmdData(importCmd, IID_IIMPORTFILECMDDATA); if(!importFileCmdData) return kFalse; //db is input.I got it using the techniques mentioned in the indesign-server-plugin-techniques.pdf //page 18.. importFileCmdData->Set(db, sysFile, kMinimalUI); ErrorCode err = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(importCmd); if(err != kSuccess) return kFalse; InterfacePtr<IPlaceGun> placeGun(db, db->GetRootUID(), UseDefaultIID()); if(!placeGun) return kFalse; UIDRef placedItem(db, placeGun->GetItemUID()); InterfacePtr<ICommand> replaceCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kReplaceCmdBoss)); if (replaceCmd == nil) return kFalse; InterfacePtr<IReplaceCmdData>iRepData(replaceCmd, IID_IREPLACECMDDATA); if(!iRepData) return kFalse; iRepData->Set(db, imageBox.GetUID(), placedItem.GetUID(), kFalse); ErrorCode status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(replaceCmd); if(status==kFailure) return kFalse; return kTrue; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////// I used the same code for making scriptable plugin for indesignCS2 server as it doesn't involve use of any UI element.

I request if anyone gives me solution to this i will be highly grateful to him. Thanks and Regards, Yogesh Joshi

Actually, your code is working fine, as there are no returned errors, asserts or crashes.
The reason you are just seeing a gray box, is that the display performance is set to the lowest level in InDesign Server for performance reasons.
Hint: Open the document in "desktop" InDesign, right click on the image, and look at the Display Performance settings for the image.
See
Ken Sadahiro, "[CS2 Server] Controlling display performance, how?" #1, 23 Feb 2006 8:01 am
You can of course programmatically change it to the normal or high res settings from within your plug-in, but it might slow down the performance of InDesign Server a bit.
One additional comment:
In your code where you do this:
importFileCmdData->Set(db, sysFile, kMinimalUI);
I would do this, just to be safe:
if (LocaleSetting::GetLocale().IsProductFS(kInDesignServerProductFS )) { importFileCmdData->Set(db, sysFile, kSuppressUI); } else { importFileCmdData->Set(db, sysFile, kMinimalUI); }

Using Power Query to import image files for Power View

I am trying to use Power Query to import image data from a SQL Azure database for use in Power View. I've selected both the source image table and the ?images table in the workbook query. The files seem to load as binary data in the Power
Query editor but when loaded to the data model with Power Pivot, the field becomes "text" type rather than binary. Does anyone know the procedure to use PowerQuery to load image files into PowerPivot?

Hi,
We currently do not support loading binary data from Power Query into the Power Pivot data model. This is something we'd like to address soon. For now, you will need to use the Power Pivot import capabilities if you want to achieve this.
Sorry about the inconvenience - we will try to enable this feature over the coming months.

I can't import image files from my camera to Photoshop Elements

My iMac recognizes my camera (a Canon Powershot S100 Digital Elph). I know this because it automatically starts iPhoto and loads the images. The problem is, I am sick and tired of iPhoto, and I want to use Photoshop Elements instead. When I connect the camera to the iMac (via a USB port), I do NOT get a camera icon signifying a new volume or drive on my desktop. So when I open Photoshop 4.0, I can't find the files to import. I could allow the computer to import automatically into the iPhoto library, then manually drag the image files into a different directory for use by PSE, but that seems way too complicated. Why should I have to do that? Please help if you can.
John

I'm using OS X 10.4.11.
Maybe I didn't explain it very well. Let me try again:
I would like to be able to connect my camera to the USB port of the iMac, turn on the camera, and then view the images from the camera memory on the screen using Bridge (the subroutine for file management in Photoshop Elements). I have not been able to do that.
Instead, my iMac immediately displays the camera images by opening iPhoto. There is no option in iPhoto for importing the images to anything other than the iPhoto library. So I have to go find them there, copy them into the directory were I want them, and then erase them from the library (which is a little tricky by itself). Then I can manage them in Elements/Bridge.
I thought when I bought Photoshop Elements that I would be able to open it and then tell it to import the images from my camera, into a directory of my choosing. That would be less error-prone and a lot less work.

Apple Motion 2.02 can't import image file

It always shutdown when import any image file( .jpg .tga so on)
I have even delete that file user>lib>preferences>com.apple.motion.plist
still can't resolve that situation
some QuickTme Decode problem or another?

Does AJA I/O support a desktop? If so, upgrading to 10.4.4 might fix the problem...

Adobe LR3 will not import image files. Running on Mac OS 10.6.4

When I try to import images into LR3 I get the errors show on attached screenshots. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having the same problem and I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4 as well.
I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)". They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter. I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either). I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then. The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
Any suggestions?
Update: I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error. I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
Update #2: I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images. Lightroom 2 imports just fine. This is becoming infuriating.
Anyone have any suggestions yet?

How to import image file of OS

I was give an .img file of a server......I didn't receive a vm.vfg file at all, I the image was just simply copied from the running_pool on the oracle vm server after it was shut down. Now...can I import this image into another oracle vm server using vm manager or some commands on the oracle vm server itself? I was also sent the following information...
more dns
# Automatically generated xen config file
name = "dns"
memory = "256"
disk = [ 'file:/OVS/running_pool/dns.img,xvda,w', ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:2a:4d:73, bridge=xenbr0', ]
vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
uuid = "4f91b207-a6a5-5bec-9ada-d60cc9254ce5"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
This was generated on the original oracle vm server....should I edit that to reflect the uuid of the new oracle vm server and can I create my own vm.cfg file? The server where this image come from does not have oracle vm manager controlling it, the admin has simply been using the oracle vm server interface itself to mount the domains..is there a way to generate a template from just the oracle vm server and not using the manager?

I would change the name if the image file to something meaningful and simply copy the image file to the storage repository /OVS/Repositories/[YOUR Repo]/VirtualDisks and then simply rescan the storage repo. That should "import" the new image to your repo and make it available for use.
The information shown about the VM indicates that the boot loader is pygrub - that would make this guest a PVM one, so you could simply create a new PVM in OVMM and choose the just imported vdisk as its first disk. The info for this guest also suggests that it's MAC-Address is 00:16:3e:2a:4d:73, so you will need to adjust the settings inside the guest once it is running on you new OVMs.

Sudden difficulty importing wmv files

Hi, I'm using a trial version of CS4, am under the gun, have strong working computer knowledge but limited technical knowledge, and am new to video editing. But I had a great guy teach me the basic ropes of video editing in CS4 and I'm doing a pretty great job of creating clips from downloaded wmv files and have about 7 clips of 12 done for a presentation I need to deliver today. Suddenly, however, I can't get the final wmv file to load into Premiere. The only difference I can see between the two prior files that imported fine and this third one is that the two prior files show on my desktop with the wmv "filmstrip" icon, and this third one shows with the "first frame" icon. All 3 wmv files were downloaded from the same source, are about the same size (250MG), etc. I've tried dragging and dropping, importing from menu, and right-clicking. Nothing works. I deleted and re-downloaded the third just in case it was corrupted. But for some reason, every time I try to import this third file, CS4 gives me the message "Not Responding," and then Premiere crashes. I really can't stop working on this now, and I need clips from this file. How can I get it in there? Thank you.

Well, WMV is a streaming, delivery-only format, and not meant for editing. However, some will Import and edit, to a degree, in PrPro, with some major processing overhead required.
Also, WMV is a "wrapper," in that it can contain all sorts of "stuff." Likely, your one bad WMV has something that PrPro cannot handle, or does not like.
Open up Windows Movie Maker (should be installed on most Windows machines), Import that WMV, and drag it to the Timeline. Export as DV-AVI w/ 48KHz 16-bit Uncompressed WAV. Import THAT file into PrPro, and edit away.
With WMV files, conversion is always the best workflow.
This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers."
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] I see that you got things sorted out, and that's good news. The above will give you some of the info that you seek now.

After Effects CS6 won't import images files, get an error.

HI,
Problem with AE CS6 and importing .png files in a folder. Please see the YouTube video, I took a screencast of the problem in action to show what it looks like, any help would be greatly appreciated.
The video will explain it in more detail, you will see the error:

Thank you

Had a tech connect to my computer, tried a number of things, this was the culprit:

What file format is needed to import images files from Lightroom or CC directory?

I have tried accessing psd, tiff and jpeg files to import them into Adobe Shape. All have received an error message saying that the file format isn't supported. What file format should I be using for my images in order to import them?
Thank you!

If your not going to do any individual layer effects or animation then TIFF's would be generally easier and faster to work with. If you are gong to do some effects and layer animation you should do that in Motion then bring the Motion project into FCP.
My Opinion, My Two Cents, That's might be what its worth.

Correct Lens Profile Not Available for Exported/Imported Image Files

Any help with this would be appreciated. I just noticed yesterday that when I have RAW (DNG) files in my LR5.2 library, I can select the correct lens profile to apply. When I take three of those files and merge them together in Photomatix Pro they come back as a single TIFF file. Now LR only has one lens profile available, and it is the wrong one.
This is happening with my Sony NEX-7 and Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR DI-III VC. With the RAW files, I have a list of Tamron lenses from which to choose, and the correct one is available. For the merged TIFF file, however, only a single Tamron lens is available for selection, and it is not the lens I used.
If anyone has any ideas about this and can get me past it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
~Steve

Here's my workflow for this particular situation: After importing the original RAW files, I apply lens correction using the correct profile. I export to another application that creates a new (TIFF) file that comes back into LR. Even though I already applied the correction to the original files, I can see that there is a difference in distortion between the original files and the new TIFF.
If your other application is opening the Raw file directly, it will likely be disregarding either most, or all, Lightroom adjustments even if they are somehow communicated to it. It will come down to whatever independent Raw support is built into the other application.
The other application would still need to (a) "understand" about Adobe lens profiles etc, (b) "know" where to find the appropriate Adobe profile on disk, and (c) be equipped to do the specific and proprietary processing that they refer to. The same applies for all the other Adobe-proprietary processing instructions. The only software I am aware of which can do all this reliably, in partnership with LR, is Adobe Camera Raw plus Photoshop.
I've trained myself that whenever a new file is created in an application outside of LR (including PS), I always re-apply lens correction upon first returning to LR. If I'm interpreting the above responses correctly, I shouldn't need to re-apply lens correction if I applied it to the original files. But again, it's not my observation that this is the case.
If your particular workflow is failing to reflect the first application of lens corrections (as well as perhaps, other specific adjustments) - then what returns to LR will not have undergone those kinds of corrections yet.
I'm also hearing that I may need to download a lens profile for this lens for a TIFF file format. I've never needed to do that before, so perhaps I'll give that a shot.
As I understand it, Photomatix can also accept converted TIFFs or JPGs from LR - instead of Raw fles. I am skeptical that you will realise any "clear water" advantage from sending Raws rather than TIFF (or even, high quality JPG in many cases) from LR into Photomatix - assuming the LR conversion is already optimising the images for the required purpose. You would be doing that step in an interactive environment rather than blindly via a generic converter. Such intermediate bitmaps are in my experience perfectly good candidates for HDR processing, or for exposure fusion (which I prefer - though I don't use Photomatix in particular).
Any workflow which causes LR to in effect Export suitable bitmaps that incorporate all current adjustments, will embody lens corrections as part of that. By the way, the workflow into Photoshop HDR is similarly done by way of converted bitmaps - though in that case it is ACR rather than LR which achieves these converted bitmaps, and into memory rather than into separately saved files, but the outcome is effectively the same.
The only downside is the "cleanup" is to get rid of intermediate TIFFS or JPGs afterwards. I usually put the completed "merged" image at the top of a "stack" containing the component exposures, and collapse the stack down. But the (disposable) intermediates don't get imported to LR, and by setting these to occur in a subfolder or with a distinctive name suffix, they are easily found and deleted in due course.

Aperture 3 will not import image files on hard drives (need bug check).

For the past several days, I've been encountering an issue where Aperture will not recognize photos on a local hard drive (internal or external) for import, but will recognize the exact same image if it is located on a flash card. In fact, I can drag an image from a card to my desktop and it will not be recognized. If I drag it back to the card, it is available for import again. It is not a 100% occurrence however, but doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Restarting Aperture does not help, but this is not to say it won't be working fine the next day.
I am investigating whether anyone else has this issue for a possible bug report.
Thanks

I'm having this problem right now. If I switch to a flash card reader with a card inserted, it immediately shows the thumbnails of files available for import. I just finished importing a backup folder of images and that worked as expected, but going back to other folders show nothing inside of them to import.
The File Types panel from Import Settings shows no exclusions checked and the RAW+JPEG Pairs settings do nothing (in any case, this should only apply to RAW+JPEG pairs, which I don't have).
Anybody else find anything that worked?

FCE for Slide Shows - Can Import Image Files Without iPhoto, iMovie?

From posts and the manual it sounds like yes, you can import files (of the right type, such as TIFF or JPEG, and even Photoshop with layers) directly into a project in FCE. Is that so? No need to have them in iPhoto or iMovie or somewhere?
Thanks,
Rich
Context (repeated for a number of questions about FCE I'm asking separately): Trying to escape the Windoze world where I've been using ProShow Gold to make still images (and video) slideshows somewhat easily, I'm thinking I'll be fine with the "more work" to build slideshows in FCE, and would enjoy using the increased power of the program eventually for working more with video. Already hip to the Tom Wolsky posts and links that look great for how to preprocess still images via Photoshop to ready them for FCE, along with lots of other info. Also have looked at all the free Apple web tutorials, as well as the FCE 4 Manual.

Thank you. I've kind of been thinking that I'd use the info found at http://www.fcpbook.com/Photoshop1.html and hopefully with a batch type process precondition all the images so they'd be more video-ready. But before I do much I'll experiment with just bringing in the full-sized, straight out of the camera image and how it looks after applying the De-interface filter.
