Does LightRoom support Raw images and HDR

I am interested in creating a number of HDR prints and am looking for the right software to get.

HDR photos must be created by some other application (not Lightroom). Once created, Lightroom can edit the HDR and print it.

Does Lightroom support RAW files from the Sony RX-100M2?

I use LR 4.4 with my Sony A-77 and Sony A-100. I just purchased a Sony RX-100M2. My current version of LR (LR 4.4) doesn't recognize the RAW files from my new RX-100M2. Will I have to upgrade to LR version 5? Will that even help?
Thanks.

Support appears to be preliminary: There is no RX100M2 Adobe Profile and the camera is not listed as being supported, so while it is true that you can open the M2 files in LR5, the colors appear slightly off and dimmer than for the RX100(M1). I suspect Adobe may have given preliminary support by using the RX100(M1) profile for the RX100M2 but hopefully the support improves with the next version of LR5 comes out, hopefully later this week:
Here is a thread discussing the differences and some sample ARW files from both the M1 and M2:

Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the Canon Sureshot S95

Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
Canon Sureshot S95.
Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

(1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW. Hardly a satisfactory solution.
(I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ).
(2) SUGGESTION- even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting). I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs. So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.

* (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

When opening an image Photoshop Elements 12 is opening it in Camera Raw, it is not a RAW image and it is cropped How do I uncrop the opened image?

When I am opening a .jpg image not an actual raw camera image from Elements 12 it is being opened as a camera Raw image and the image is cropped, I can't find anyway to get the image to uncrop or zoom out so that the entire image is visible so that I can actually edit it to something that is useable. The images were taken with an iPad and copied I suspect using the organizer from Elements 11 but I can't be sure. If I could just uncrop the opened image so that the entire image is visible this would not be a big deal.
Is there a way to uncrop the image that is being opened by Camera Raw? Am I going to have to get my hands on the source of the images (the iPad) and copy the images again using explorer and not let them be copied with the organizer?

Uncheck the boxes at the bottom of the dialog Scale styles and resample Image so that only constrain proportions is checked. If you the change the resolution box from 240 to 300 you will get back to your original dimensions.
This is a meaningless thing to do, you still have the exact same number of pixels, you have only changed the metadata number in the file for ppi, and your prints are not affected by this number.
You could also use the same method to change the dimensions to 6 x 4 or 9 x 6 etc.
There are some cases (actually most cases) where you need to CROP the photo to change the dimensions, when the aspect ratio of the original photos is different than the aspect ratio of the final photo; the specific case in 99jon's example is the only case you ever want to change dimensions using Image->Resize->Image Size, where the aspect ratio doesn't change from 6x4 to 9x6 (or 12x8 or 18x12 or ...), and even then, you could do the same thing simply by telling the printer the size you want, you don't really need to do anything in PSE.

Fuji S5 Raw Images and Processing

Hi
I am thinking of upgrading my Nikon d40x to a Fuji S5 and wanted to make sure this was 100% compatible with Aperture (which I use a lot). I have downloaded a RAW image and found that it works apart from the recovery and black point, is the file only then compatible with Aperture 1.0 and 1.5?
Any help welcome

Have you tested it yet?
Send me a file if you want and I will try it?

Nikon D300 Raw Images and Lightroom 1.4.1

My updated 1.4.1 Lightroom and 4.4.1 Camera Raw are not reading the raw images from my new Nikon D300. I have read several strings of conversation from other folks who are having this problem, and from what I am reading, my 1.4.1 Lightroom should be recognizing them, but it's not. Any help would be MOST appreciated.

Before you even answered I transferred the files from my camera card to my hard drive, and presto bingo, they are now importing beautifully into lightroom. THANK YOU LEE JAY!!!!! Frank Leonard - [email protected]

Doesn't Lightroom support large images?

I recently migrated my photos over to Lightroom, but after the export I was given a notice about some images not being imported, because they were too large. These were panoramas with sizes of about 10.000x2000 px and somewhat above, though not exceeding 15.000. Why doesn't Lightroom support these sizes? Are there any hidden settings to play around with?

"It's not the number of GHz that counts, but the tightness of the code. "
No, actually it's both. You can optimize code for certain operations but operations outside of that window will not be. Camera Raw/Lightroom is a case in point. It is VERY well optimized for dealing with raw images from digital cameras. In all cases (except for scanning backs) single captures from DSLR's fall into the 10K limit. Camera Raw/Lightroom has been expended to also work with camera jpgs/tiffs and now with Lightroom and Camera Raw 4 in Photoshop CS3 to general tiffs & psds. But large tiffs and psds is NOT what the original code for Camera Raw Lightroom was optimized for.
Larger memory buffers and faster processors CAN expand on what is possible with code optimizations alone-which are not sufficient alone to improve applications. Even if you could optimize the code, the pure processor clicks required could not make ACR/LR run on old, slow processors.
If you count the pure numbers of images digitally captured each year to the pure numbers of photographers doing panos, panos are an edge case. ACR/LR is designed for the masses of images, not edge case use at this time. Arguably, improved pano software (such as in Photoshop CS3) may increase the numbers of photographers engaging in pano creation, which would be a good argument for increasing the upper limit that ACR/LR can handle...but it ain't gonna happen immediately.

Does Lightroom support camera tethering?

I looked through the forum and could not find this.
Does Lightroom allow digital camera capture by tethering the camera to a computer like Camera Control Pro for Nikon's and Kodaks Camera Manager?
If it does, this most likely will be our new and great workflow. Currently when using both Nikons and Kodaks we have to use four (or more) separate software programs to capture the image, adjust the image (if necessary) crop & retouch the image, and upload it to our laboratory.
Looking for the vida loca.

If it matters, we too would like to see tethering improved, especially for Nikons.
Nikon has stopped supporting their Capture (V 4.x) software. Capture wasn't the greatest package but it served a purpose as the front line, 'real time' camera to screen program. Capture does not support the newest NEFs found in the D80, (and others?)! The replacement, Capture NX, does not support tethered shooting or browsing for that matter. NX has some interesting ideas but no tethering, no browser, it is useless to us? Nikon's new Camera Control Pro downloads the pics from the camera to the computer but leaves them there... no further processing.
We are forced to find another solution. There are not too many to choose from besides LR. Capture Pro is pretty dear, Bibble's capture, while slick, directly from camera to browser, it is not too stable or reliable! Sorry guys but we can not be rebooting / making excuses while the customer is waiting. I haven't found anything else for a Nikon.
Our business really needs good tethering as we usually shoot with the customer in the studio expecting to take home some prints. Besides 'real time' viewing, which is a real plus with the customers, tethering also eliminates the steps, and time needed to stop shooting and download images to the computer. It also makes for a real smooth two person operation.
So, I (we), hope the LR crew is working on a direct import for all raw formats. The LR tethering could use a speed boost. Just eliminating the third party capture software and extra file move would be a big help.

Lightroom storage of images and it's catalog

I’m looking into using lightroom to manage my wedding and commercial photography as I have heard many speak highly about it. I’m currently using Capture One 4.0 on a Mac Pro but as always I’m always looking to improve upon the workflow. Right now I have been going back and forth between Bridge and Capture One.
I have a NAS 2TB RAID drive which I store all my jobs on that are in various stages of production. Each job is in it’s own folder on the drive. (Each job can be 15 to 25 Gigs.) When I’m actually working on a job I have another copy of that job on a internal 500GB RAID which is a separate drive from the main drive with the OS and Apps on. The 500GB drive is where the raw file adjustments and all other image manipulation is done. All of the adjustments which Capture One does are save into a folder it makes in that job folder. Each night when I have finished working on and making adjustments to my files and or RAW files, I sync the Job folder on the internal RAID drive and the NAS drive. Now the NAS drive has all of my adjustments and latest files. Then, at the end of the job, the job folder (which houses the image files and Capture One’s folder) is burned to disc. If I ever need the files again, I can just grab the Job folder and even just a Raw files with its Capture One adjustment files from the Disc, and save to the internal drive and I have my corrections again. Now this has been working for all my Raw files. But the problem is Capture One does not see PSD files at all so when I'm in Bridge, I can't see the Adjustments on my Raw Files, or when in Capture One, I can't see my PSD files.
Question I have here is about how Lightroom works with files. It looks like it builds a catalog of all the images when you import them. Does that catalog keep building and getting larger and larger and is it on the same drive as the lightroom app? If I switch to Lightroom, can I work my files the same way I do now? Internal RAID drive for working on the files, SYNC to the NAS drive to back up and for short term storage, then Burn to disc for long term storage (As of now I have over 100 DL DVD stored), and if needed to be able to pull the job back off of if needed?
MIght seem like a lot of steps here and a complicated workflow, but it has been working for me for a couple of years.If Lightroom can be managed like this it might be a good switch from Capture One for me.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete

I think LR gives you an opportunity to greatly simplify your workflow. The key is its non-destructive editing capability. You will have the original image on your main drive and then you can create multiple "versions" of it for different treatments using LR's virtual copy facility. You can export, print or send the final images to a web site - all within Lightroom.
If you have time I think you should look at your workflow with an understanding of LR's user model and tools. Don't think of it as fitting LR into your existing workflow but a way to start afresh.
There's a couple of really good blog posts that summarise LR's capabilities:
Scott Kelby's “10 Things I Would Tell New Lightroom Users” at http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2009/archives/7180
John Beardsworth's “10 Things I Wish I Could Tell a Slightly Less Novice Lightroom User” at http://www.beardsworth.co.uk/news/comment_1.php?id=1493_0_1_0_C
I wish I'd read them before I plunged into LR from ThumbsPlus and ACDSee Pro.
For what it's worth I discuss my workflow using Lightroom at http://bkkphotographer.wordpress.com/2009/09/19/my-workflow/. I am not a wedding or commercial photographer but I do handle a lot of images.
I hope this helps.
