Downloading RAW images into Lightroom 4

I just switched to Mac from PC and I am not able to download my RAW images (from Canon Mark iii) into Lightroom 4. Anyone know a fix for this problem?

Once you buy LR 5 you can install any of the LR 5.x versions where LR 5.7 just came out and supports the newest cameras, like the Nikon D750 or Canon 7D Mark II along with all earlier models.
It would be wise to download and install the LR 5.7 as a trial and make sure it works for you before buying the upgrade. The minimum OS is 10.7 and Win 7, I think, so if you’re on XP or Vista or OS X 10.6 then you’re out of luck.
The various version of LR are available on the Adobe Updates site: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
They will run in trial mode for 30 days or until you enter appropriate serial numbers.

Downloading Raw Images into Aperature

This topic has to do with getting Raw images into Aperture and not the application it's self.
There happens to be several ways to download images from a memory card (from the camera to the USB port, from a card reader to the USB port, from a card reader to the Firewire port and from a card adapter to the PCMCIA port).
The question I have is one of these better than rest for downloading RAW files. Connecting the camera to the computer is the most direct way to do it, but when there are several memory cards to go though it easier to a card reader.
Photoscene

I have a firewire reader. It takes less than a minute to pull all the images off a 1 GB card (Lexar 40x or 80x) and into Aperture.
It's funny that it's so fast, as it's substantially faster to pull the images off the card than it is off of disk. Some serious optimization there. Demos well, I figure

Problems downloading RAW files into Lightroom 4 from a 70D camera.

I had a canon rebel xsi and had been able to download my RAW files to lightroom 4. However, I have recently bought a 70D and is won't download into Lightroom 4. I have been told that Lightroom 4 doesn't support the 70D and I have to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Is this correct, or can I get some kind of plug in? Also if Lightroom 5 how much would it be for me to upgrade, is an "upgrade" cheaper to someone who has already got Lightroom 4.

Downloading RAW pictures into Lightroom 2.2 from a Canon EOS 50D

I am having problems trying to download pictures either directly from my Canon EOS 50D, or using a LEXAR card reader.
The preview screen in Lightroom shows the thumbnail images (all have the format IMG_0007.CR2 for example), but when I click on Import, it does not find the images. Import results tell me "the files appear to be unsupported or damaged".
I can view all of the original images on the monitor screen of my camera, and they appear to be fine. The same is true for both flash cards I am using (Sandisc Extreme III 16GB and a 2GB). I'm worried that I cannot retrieve about 400 pitures.
Any suggestions??? Many thanks. Ben

Thanks to both Sean and John. Unfortunately I still cannot load the Raw files. I tried loading 2.3RC... no difference. I also tried dragging the images from the card reader on to my extrenal drive and then importing, still no luck. I was taking JPG and Raw images simultaneously. I can load the JPEGs with no problem, it's the Raw files that it tells me are unsupported or damaged (in the message Lightroom gives me.) Maybe the Canon EOS50D is too new for 2.3RC???
Any other ideas??

Downloading raw files into lightroom 3.6

How do i download raw files from my camera into Lightroom (3.6)?

Can you use a different computer and see if you can move them to the computer's hard disk there?
This is starting to sound like a hardware problem, specifically you may have a bad camera card.

How do I download raw images into photoshop elements 11.

I am having difficulty downloading my raw images to photoshop elements 11. Files are currently on a thumb drive, but I don't know how to download to elements. I have the thumb drive plugged in --- not sure where to go from here. I have verified that I have the plug in - version 7.1.0.354.
Any ideas?

You can either drag them in Organizer workspace or import the folder. Or you can also use Adobe Photo Downloader. There are many options listed here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

RAW images in Lightroom 3

When I import my RAW images into Lightroom 3 (for Mac), they look great until I click on an image to view it. Then, automatically Lightroom changes the coloring and quality of my image. It makes it look terrible! I didn't even click on any presets or sliders. I want my images to look the way they do when I first import them. Is there a setting that I need to turn off or change?

Digital cameras capture images in a raw format.and depending on the camera model you have you have the option to allow the camera to process the raw data and provide a jpeg / Tiff image file you can view on your computer. You may also have the option for your camera to retain the raw data and have this processed by software provided by your camera manufacturer.
You also have the option to use third party raw processing software to process the raw data, Lightroom / Adobe ACR, are one of these providers. Third party raw processing software use their own proprietory processes and profiles to carry out this process. They are all different to your camera manfacturer processes which are proprietory so what your are seeing is expected, you are being provided with an alternative to what your camera manufacturer provides.
Have a look at the following article from an independent source.
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml
Lightroom provides you with lots of tools to be creative in generating an alternative rendition of the raw data or also creating your own preset to match the rendition created by your camera.

Downloading RAW images in Elements 13

I've just bought a Canon 7D Mk11 and found that I was unable to download raw images into Elements 10. It was suggested that I might need a newer version of Elements and so have installed version 13 on Windows 7. Still wouldn't accept the raw files. The downloaded the appropriate raw plug-in/dng converter (8.7). Elements go through the process of searching for media and then transferring files. upon completion of this process it says that nothing was downloaded as the files were either damaged or of a file type not supported. I've never had this problem before with either PSE 7 & 10. Pulling my hair out. Any ideas would be appreciated.

When you did the update for ACR 8.7, did you go to the Help menu and select Updates?
If you load the edittor and go to Help -> About Plugins -> Camera raw does it report 8.7?
My version 13 on windows 7 recognises my Canon 7D Marl II raw files.

Hi, I just downloaded a bunch of RAW files into Lightroom 5.6 and they all look like they've been put through acid. Can someone please help? TYVM!

Jim and Rob, thank you for taking your time to respond. I have a mac & a pc with 4 gigs of RAM in each. I originally experienced the problem on my mac and afterwards the same thing happened on the pc. I shoot with a canon 5d mark iii and never had this problem before, but what I'm realizing is that I'm running out of space on both the mac & the pc. After an afternoon of shooting today, I filled up a 32-gig card, so my TB hard drives are filling up ridiculously fast. I need to drop some load off both drives and reboot. Hope this will resolve the issue as I really don't think it's a canon-LR problem (I'm using the most updated 5.6 version). Again, thanks for your input. I'll keep you posted.

Why when I open my raw files into lightroom, colors are different from my camera's preview?

Ciao,
I have a problem... maybe this can be a stupid question but anyway.. I would like to know the reason why when I open a raw image in lightroom, for a second I see the right colors/tone/contrast that i see when i look at the same images on my camera and soon after the word "Loading" I see the raw files with different colors.
Why this happens???
Before "Loading" and --> after
Thank you so much

Hey Giuseppe
I have a similar problem but the cause may be different from yours. I shoot a Canon 6D and as far as I know no one with the 5D MKIII has my issue, but maybe you could look into it.
Canon's Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CC, as well as Lightroom CC, is automatically down converting my CR2 RAW files from 14 bit color depth to 8 bit color depth. This is screwing up my colors, contrast, gradients, etc quite a bit when trying to process RAW files in Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.
You can read my thread here:
Banding due to automatic downconverting of RAW files to 8 bit
You might want to check and see if your RAW files are actually being processed in 16 bit color depth. There is a possibility that they are being down converted automatically for some reason.
The bit depth in Lightroom for RAW files is supposed to be 16 bit but when opening my files it just converts it down.
Try downloading Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4
Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EOS 5D Mark III
Use that software to process a RAW photo and convert to a 16 bit TIFF. I know this software truly gives you a 16 bit depth image. Then compare the result side to side with what you're seeing in Lightroom.
If you are having this issue, I have not yet found a way to process RAW CR2 files in ACR or Lightroom and maintain 16 bit depth.
If you are batch processing to JPEGs it probably doesn't matter, but my issue is that it is down converting BEFORE exporting and thus any edits I do become much more destructive on my 8 bit image than they would if I was editing a 16 bit image. I have to be able to keep things in 16 bit up until the point they go to the printer.
Sorry, this may not help you at all, it looks like there could just be a difference in White Balance, but I figured I'd throw my two cents out there and maybe you could see if this is actually what is happening for you, and hopefully eventually Adobe could potentially fix this bug.

I own a Canon 6D and just bought Photoshop CS6 and I am not able to open my raw images into Photoshop CS6. What do I do to fix this?

I own a Canon 6D and just bought Photoshop CS6 and I am not able to open my raw images into Photoshop CS6. I downloaded the camera raw and dng converter for it, but realized in the process that the one I downloaded does not work with my Mac version, 10.9.5.

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

I'm trying to export a raw image from lightroom 5.6 to Photoshop cc 2014 2.1. I right click to export menu in lightroom as I've always done to export to Photoshop. Photoshop opens, but it can't open file, window opens to find a file to open. I'd like this to export my lightroom images to edit in photoshop as it has always been able to do for me.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

IMPORTING NEF (RAW) IMAGES INTO iPHOTO 6 FROM NIKON D80

I have just got my self a Nikon D80 and find that I cannon import the NEF(RAW) images into iphoto6 - the files are not recognised - if I shoot in jpeg format it is fine
Bit of a disappointment as I was really excited to see what the ophotos would come out like! I have not imported the software that came with the camera - but I didnt think that was necessary.
Any help gratefully received

David
What kind of computer do you have? What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto? Have you applied the RAW updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads?
