DO NOT import images with no extension

If you import import images with no extension (I have lots of those from Mac OS 9 days) by reference and then consolidate them with the Move option you will encounter a serious problem (at least with Aperture 1.5.1. on an Intel Mac).
If you quit Aperture and launch it again, the thumbnails for those images will show as being referenced and broken. But another part of Aperture believes that they are in the library. The result is that your images ARE in the library, but are unaccessible to Aperture.
You can repair this by fixing the contents of the apfile and renaming the image file, but it is a major pain to do this on a large scale.
Here is the problem I encountered:

And here is the solution:

Which version?
This is not my experience in 1.5.1: files without extensions are silently ignored, no? That's annoying enough!
Unfortunately, I have a lot of Genuine Fractals files that can't even be catalogued, let alone viewed. I have to keep using Portfolio, which deals with GF files just fine.

If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so
they are at least two versions old.
Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many
other products on the market which do a much better job of creating
and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:

There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop
up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away
from them.
Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

This is what that error means:
-54
permErr
Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
Download and launch BatChmod. Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window. Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group. Everyone will have R only.
Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button. When done try importing the files again.

Lightroom 4.1 will not import files with a backslash in the name

Lightroom 4.1 will not import files with a name containing a backslash "\" I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Under Preferences I have checked and "Treat the following characters as illegal" is set to "/:"

Your preferences and configurations will not be deleted. Of course, I'd advice you to back it up anyway and then completely remove LR.

Importing Images Named Without Extensions

I have a number of archived CD's filled with images that were named without extensions, i.e. "egg" instead of "egg.tif"
The CD's mount on my Mac OSX 10.5 desktop, are correctly read by the finder, can be viewed in preview and open without difficulty in PS CS4. Lightroom 3 reads the CD and the folders but not the images. I copied a CD to my desktop and added the correct file extension to the file's name. Lightroom then correctly recognized the file and was able to import it.
I want to add the images from the CD archives to my Lightroom catalog. Is it possible to get Lightroom to recognize the images on the CD's without copying them all to a hard drive and renaming them with proper extensions?

Rename Lightroom 4.4 imported images with unique numbers?

I want to rename images imported from a card into Lightroom 4.4 with a single set of initials followed by a sequence of unique numbers. I would like the number sequence to continue from one import to the next. However, each time I start a new import, Lightroom starts again at 00001. Is there a way to instruct Lightroom to automatically continue the renumbering sequence from one import to the next WITHOUT manually resetting the "start" number each time?

What you described was my filenaming convention exactly, for a long while.
I constructed the unique numbers using:
shoot-name (enter number)
file-number (aka filename-number-suffix).
Pros: accomplishes the goal, and filenames are *very* short.
Cons: you have to manually manage job shoot number in case image-number rolls over.
If Lightroom supported folder number, then all would be well, since unique number would simply be:
{folder-number}{file-number}.
But, Lightroom doesn't (support folder number).
My new filenaming convention assures uniqueness using a combination of date-time and some other stuff:
{date}{photographer-initials}{time}{camera-designation}{image-number}.{extension}
Pros: supported by Lr native filenaming features (although I don't use Import dialog box for importing, nor native Lightroom for naming). And, alphabetical order is same as capture time order, except divvied by photographer (note: *not* divvied by camera photographer used, unless both were used during the same second).
Cons: *very* verbose, and not very readable.
So to answer your question more specifically: No: I'm not aware of any sequence number which accomplishes your goal exactly, but yes: there is a way without it.

Importing images with Lightroom 2 & Camera RAW 4.5

The following query has been raised with Adobe Technical Support (5 days ago and I am still waiting for a response/reply. They claim to reply within 24 hours but they have not on this occasion......they seem to be ignoring me
Perhaps a fellow user can help to identify or resolve the problem.
Operating System:
Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3)
Software:
Adobe Design Premium CS3 (10.0.1); Photoshop Lightroom 1.4 (which was working fine) and Lightroom 2 (on trial and not working particularly well)
I am using a trial download of Photoshop Lightroom 2 (with Camera RAW 4.5 in Photoshop CS3).
I am having a few problems with editing Lightroom 2 images in Photoshop CS3 but I understand that Adobe is currently investigating a solution to this problem.
I have also noticed another potential problem since I have started to import images from a computer drive to Lightroom 2 and converting the Manufacturers RAW files to DNG (with the option to leave the files at their current location/drive).
My RAW and JPEG files open ok in Camera RAW (v 4.5) for basic editing and subsequently to Photoshop for more detailed work. The problem is that all my images are now opening as Smart Objects by default in Photoshop CS3, as opposed to opening as a Background layer". (I have not knowingly opted to use the Open as Smart Object option.
I am not entirely sure how this came about but I have also lost the capacity to edit images with empty Levels adjustment layers or percentage (%) grey fill option).
I am able to highlight the respective layer and create the empty Levels adjustment layer, change the blend mode to either Multiply or Screen, fill the Layer Mask with Black (Alt & backspace), change the opacity level as desired, select the brush tool and change the foreground colour to white to enable the applicable Dodge or Burn processes.
Unfortunately, it does not function irrespective of the preferred opacity level. The Dodge or Burn feature is static with no effect on the image.
I cannot recall any settings to open all files as Smart Objects in Photoshop CS3 but would welcome some help in identifying such a setting if it exists. Alternatively, I would welcome any other suggested methods of correcting the above difficulties.
The same difficulties are evident when I try to use the Dodge or Burn features via the Edit and Fill option with a percentage of Grey and the Overlay Blend Mode.
The "Common Denominator" of the above difficulties appear to be Lightroom 2 and Camera RAW 4.5 (individually and or collectively) and now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Are any other users experiencing similar issues or have any suggestions about how I might correct or resolve these problems? ......
I am not afraid of hearing or accepting that the "Dummy Factor" has played some part or how I may release myself from the said "Dummy Factor".....any help is welcome help.
Adobe Technical Support seems to be ignoring me......I wonder why?
Regards
Bob Wallace

Essentially you are wrapping the raw image data into a special type of layer, a "smart object". You can then revisit and fine tune the Camera Raw conversion as often as you want and take advantage of working directly on the raw data in its pre-Photoshop purity. You can also apply to this smart object layer a number of Photoshop adjustments and filters - and again redo and fine tune them as often as you wish.
You'll find them explained in a number of recent books. I know Scott Kelby is keen on them, there are examples on Russell Brown's site, and my own book last year on B&W strongly advocated their use.
Have a play.

Any way to NOT import JPEGs with RAWs?

When I import RAW files from my camera, Aperture imports the JPEG images as well but keeps it hidden from view. I dug into the Aperture Vault to check out what was going on, and it stores the 4-5 MB JPEG alongisde each RAW file. I can't see the reason for this. I'm not interested in these crappy JPEGs and they are just taking up room on my hard drive. Is there any way to get Aperture to not import the JPEGs when importing RAW files?

step 1 ... stop shooting RAW+JPG ...
ok, i got that out of the way ... do you import directly from the camera ??? or directly from card reader into aperture ???
me, i NEVER import directly from card to program ... EVER ...
last week i needed to shoot RAW+JPG, only because i needed quick access to some JPGs and didn't have aperture handy ...
when i returned i copied my card contents to a desktop folder (like i always do) and used the search box and entered JPG ... then i deleted every one - they had served their purpose ... then i dupped the folder of RAW files and then imported into aperture ... no JPGs imported ...
seriously the only way to not have aperture import the JPG with the RAW is to weed out the JPGs (or not shoot RAW+JPG - but i already covered that)

Lightroom 4 would not import images from my camera

I have been importing and editing photos from a Canon Powershot S3-IS and never had a problem until today. This is the first time I've tried it with the latest upgrade to lightroom.
I first tried importing from my camera memory card slot. Lightroom froze. Then I tried using my card reader and inserting that in the USB slot. Lightroom froze. I tried to connect the camera directly to the computer with the USB cord. Lightroom told me that it could not import the files.
I tried importing the images to my computer and then from my hard drive copying them into Lightroom. That worked.
Is the camera too old to use with the latest update from Lightroom. I would think a jpg. file would be pretty standard.
Any ideas on how to import to Lightroom without the extra step?

Perhaps there is a problem with the camera card. But I still believe there is a hardware problem somewhere.
I can think of hardware problems that can cause this to happen, but I cannot think of any software reasons why LR won't read a JPG, except when it is on a hardd isk.

Aperture 3.0.3 will not sync images with iPad via iTunes correctly

I've read the forums looking for a solution to why my Aperture 3 library will not sync with my iPad when it is connected in iTunes. I have tried creating another Aperture library (which I then fill with a few images) and iTunes is able to see and import images onto my iPad. But when I switch back to my real Aperture library, iTunes can show the folders and projects but the number of photos in the folders and projects is not showing at all (i.e. 0). The sync process just hangs and does not continue from that point.
I've also tried another suggestion about repairing permissions, removing the .aplibrary extention and using a new "dummy" library and then switching back to the original library. Nothing seems to work. It just seems buggy and slow i.e. spinning beach ball. Otherwise (beyond syncing to the iPad) Aperture runs fine, exports, e-mails, adjustments all works fine and quickly.
I have a fast 1TB hard drive WD Caviar Black with 32 MB cache and only 350 Gigs used as the system hard drive. The Aperture library is located on the system disk and the referenced files are on a FW800 external drive.
Anyone having these same issues? I can't seem to figure it out.
I guess the only workaround at this point is to just export the photos I want to sync to my iPad into another folder or into iPhoto and import them that way. But it's rather annoying to have a "professional" application which doesn't seem to work as advertised (if Aperture is indeed the culprit).

Here is what I have found out. iTunes will only sync to the last Aperture 3 library opened, and will only update when you close Aperture 3 and then reopen iTunes. Thats the building shared previews thing I guess.
I am using iPhoto to sync photos to my iPad and iPhone, not Aperture 3. I export from Aperture 3 as original size JPG then bring in the exported photos into iPhoto. That way I can have multiple Aperture 3 Libraries and not have to worry about iTunes finding the wrong stuff. I know it takes out some of the automagic stuff but at least it works. But remember to close both iPhoto and iTunes before you try to sync, then reopen iTunes. I don't resize any of the photos for the device I let iTunes do that for me.
Hope this helps

Photoshop Touch for phone ... LG 4X HD not import images

Hello
I bought Photoshop Touch for phone ... on your LG 4X HD does not work import images from the gallery. The program crashes - black screen.

I am using the scribble selection tool to isolate a a person in a photo. Then I inverse the selection and desaturate - and I have tried just using the black and white adjustment - the rest of the photo. The problem comes when I inverse back to the person and try to adjust the selection. I can usually do one adjustment, then it crashes on the second adjustment. It has crashed everyone I have tried a this with different images and after resetting my phone
My ram was about a gb when this last happened. I am using a galaxy note 2.

LR 3 will not import images

I just installed LR 3 on a brand new MacPro. I imported 27,000 files in from an external hard drive, which I had already put through LR3 on my PC. (Yes I tried to export the catalogue from the PC to the MacPro, after four failed attempts and hours on the phone with Adobe tech support I gave up and did it this way.)
These images all imported successfully. Then I tried to import from a CF card using a good card reader. The images all showed up in the import preview screen I selected the location to which I wanted them to be copied and an import preset. But LR will not import them - it gives me an error message: The files were not imported because they cannot be read." These are files from a D700, the same camera I have been importing files from on the PC for over a year. I purged the camera raw cache preferences & tried again with the same result. Using another good card reader reached the same result. I can open the files with no problem in PS CS4. The files are fine.
I then moved the files to a folder on the desktop and tried to import from there. This time the error message is: "LR could not copy files to the requested location" and nothing imported as well.
Any ideas?

Thanks for getting in touch, away from the desk at the moment, but
1. The installation process was a nightmare, check the forum for how many people had a problem with that
2. As for screen shot, it is just the import screen the moment after you hit "import" it just hangs I will comply upon my return
3. As for where "I" went wrong, as the process has been precisely what I have consistently done for the last 6 years I'm fairly confident this is a software situation- I won't say never, but I'm good on this because LR3 can still be utilized in the same way AND I can create a catalog that LR 4.1 will open, the only workaround so far.
Thanks,
Daniel

Iphone 4 not being recognized with the extension cable

My Iphone 4 is not being recognized with the Apple extension cable in my new Nissan Juke so the phone has to be kept in the glovebox due to the very short cable Nissan provides. This is frustrating since the phone gets noticeably worse reception in the glovebox. Does anyone know of a fix for this so I can run a longer cable extension and run the phone out of the glovebox? Mabye a different extension cable or longer cable that works with Nissan's set up?

I don't think it is the cable. I have tried plugging the cable into the USB cable that came with the phone and the extension cable works fine with it. I guess this really is just some screwy stuff with Nissan.

DO NOT import images with no extension
