Exclamation (!) on images from a tethered shoot

         I completed a tethered shoot last night, and today I noticed am exclamation point on two of my images (After my first edit, I have 217 images). When I click on the I get an error message about saving from the disk or catalogue-I have attached a screenshot of this error message.
Can anyone translate this message for me?
I'm on Mac running 10.6.8, Lightroom 3.6, and shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II. I literally just got my camera back from Canon, where it was being repaired for a dysfucntional port, so I am really hoping this is not an issue with my camera.
Thanks!

This message can appear if you are automatically applying metadata to the image upon import. Since the metadata has not been saved to the drive yet, it wants to know if you want to update the files on your drive or go back to the original metadata thats on the drive.
So import button if you want to go back to the original metadata or overwrite button to update the files on the drive.
Its a good habbit to get into is save the metadata back to the drive when you can, that will make sure any other app that reads the metadata is using the latest data and should anything go awry with your catalog, you will have less to do to restore that catalog.
The other time you will see this message is when you use another app like Adobe Bridge to update the metadata. This allows you the opportunity to update your catalog. That would be a time to import settings from disk.
I hope that helps.

  • How to combine images from several different shoots into one

    Have LR 3.6 for Win xp.
    I have 4 differernt photo shoots that I want to combine into one big single catalogue.  I want to be able to rank and choose images from all 4 shoots at the same time so I can get the best ones identified.
    Each shoot is already in its separate catalogue but I cant figure out how to get all 4 shoots to show up at once so I can rank the best shots and maybe even make a collection of my best images from the 4 shoots.
    How might I do this??
    Thanks Suzzie

    My primary suggestion is that you watch the many videos by Julianne Kost provided in the Adobe site about organizing in the Library Module in LR 4, or read one of the many good LR books. If you want to venture on your own here's a very shorthand description of one of many ways to do what you want. Choose which Catalog you want to use. Open that Catalog and choose "Import from Another Catalog" under the File Menu in the Library Module. Select the images and import them to your chosen main catalog. Once all are in the same Catalog either Keyword all similar images you wish to compare, or make separate Collections of each one. Use the Compare function in the Library ("c" key) and eliminate the one you don't want. Unless you have one client viewing your images in LR and you don't want them to see that you have other images for other clients, I would suggest you use only a single catalog from here on out.

  • I just upgraded to Lightroom CC5 from 4, and the card will only download 1 image from my recent shoot of 10 images. Why can't I see the other images?

    Lightroom 5 will only download one image from my card, when I shot 10. Iphoto doesn't have a problem with it. I never had this problem with Lightroom 4.

    Sort by capture time and the images won't be "scattered all over the place".
    Just show "NEW" photos in the import.
    As Jim said, reformat your card after all your backups are done and verified.

  • Tethered shooting for large amount of people

    Here's a little bit of background to my question. I have mainly used Lightroom for organizing imports from my Canon 6D and 7D along with developing them. The shoot I'm looking for help on, with these questions, is quite different from what I'm accustomed to. I am looking at taking portraits of a large number of people at a school fundraiser for a club where the lighting conditions are the same and the camera is on a tripod shooting with a tethered capture to a laptop. So if anyone could help with the following  questions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
    1. Is it possible in tethered capture to have the metadata panel open at the same time and be able to have someone type down their email address for each individual picture?
    2. Following question one, is it possible to email all the photos from the shoot individually to the recipients listed in the metadata?
    3. Can Lightroom automatically print photos after taken from a tethered shoot?
    4. Can Lightroom save specific tags in the metadata from a collection into a text file where they are listed along with the file name?
    A bit of help with any of the questions would be great, haven't attempted anything like this before and frankly haven't found anything that could help in the documentation for Lightroom. I do apologize for any confusing wording, my computer wasn't accessible from where I am so this was typed on a iPhone.

    The tethered capture floating tool panel is not modal - you can still use Lightroom's regular panels and tools while it's open, so working on a file while a session is active is no problem (provided a new shot doesn't arrive and auto-advance is turned on).
    Lightroom cannot directly email images to an address taken from the IPTC metadata, for that you would need either a plugin or an external application. I don't know of one currently available.
    Again, exporting metadata to a text file is a job for a plugin - but this time there are several available (such as http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrtransporter.php )

  • Tethered Shooting with Nikon does not save on CF/SD Cards

    Has Lightroom 5 now a solution for the tethered shooting with Nikon cameras where no save on the CF/SD cards takes place?
    If not, will this covered in the future?

    An external HDD does not help for the most common image loss during tethered shooting: Transfer problems.
    When any transmission problem occurs while shooting and the images are not stored on the memory card, they will be gone. I can't tell you how many images I lost because I had some cable problem while being tethered.
    Tethering without a copy on memory card is not a good idea, really. So since the feature is available (otherwise it wouldn't work in digiCamControl, they don't install a new firmware or use super secret camera drivers or anything) I can't understand why Adobe does not support it.

  • Tethered shoot in LR5.3 with Nikon camera

    I am a mac user with 10.7 OS. I recently upgraded to LR5.3 and thought to try out the tethered shooting feature with my Nikon D300. In the ‘Tethered Capture Settings’ window it shows the naming format as a DNG file. I only import image files in their native ‘NEF’ format though I am aware of the advantages of ‘DNG’ files.
    Anyway I noticed the captured images were named as ‘nef’ files with its standard sidecar xmp file. Note the lower case lettering for 'nef'. I am not able to import these files to my external HD because these images were grayed out in the Import window. However if I changed the format names to upper casing, NEF, these images are visible for import.
    How can I avoid the extra step of having to the change the casing of the letters and have the captured images in the tethered shoot all have the correct upper casing instead?
    Thanks
    Raymond

    Yep

    Geoff,
    Thanks for the response. When the aforementioned problem occured I did check on the Lightroom Preferences. In the Preference window there are 5 tabs, General, Presets, External Editing, File Handling and Interface.
    Under the File Handling the only options I see for "File Extension" are 'dng' or 'DNG'. Is this the settings you are refering to?

  • How to keep a copy of the image file on memory card when using tethered shooting with a Nikon D800?

    I love tethered Shooting but as default (at least for Nikon) Lightroom does only save the file on the computer, not on the memory card.
    Now I want to have a backup of the image file on the memory card additionally to downloading it. The tethering software digiCamControl can do this with my camera, so it is technically possible.
    So how can I achieve this using Lightroom tethering?

    Thanks. FWIW I'm very keen on improving tethering and lobbied Adobe endlessly until they added the overlay for shooting into layouts because it was a major reason why some of my clients were unable to switch to Lightroom from PhaseOne. But we have to be realistic and remember that tethering just isn't a key market for Adobe as it is for PhaseOne, so progress is painfully slow. For example, where is live view or setting exposure which are in PhaseOne? I'd be amazed if we get those features for a few versions, and that's why I point serious tethered shooters to other solutions. And realistically, assuming your understanding of the SDK is correct you shouldn't expect a change until the next full version of Lightroom.  Good if it happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.

  • How do I remove "DNA Software tethered shooting demo for A99" disclaimer from all my during capture?

    how do I remove "DNA Software tethered shooting demo for A99" disclaimer from all my images during capture?

    I guess the obvious answer is PURCHASE the DNA Software so it won't be a demo unless you have already purchased it and it still won't work and in that case you should contact DNA Software.

  • LR3 Tethered Shooting setting issue (image preview/loading)

    Hello everyone, I've got a LR3 Tether issue I hope can be resolved with your help. I recently completed an on-location event portrait session with great turnout. The only issue was the resulting lines that had formed, at times 10+ clients.
    My setup involved photographing the client, then having them review their photos immediately after to pick their choices. This was great until I had a line. LR3 in my setup automatically loads the most recent picture taken. At one point I tried to shoot a client, and have an assistant review photos with the previous client. This was disastrous in that every time I clicked the shutter, the computer would go from whatever photo was being reviewed and load the most recent shot. After trying this with one client, I went back to shoot, review, shoot next. Everyone was given the experience I wanted to provide, I'd just like to make it a little faster/smoother in the future.
    Question is: Can I change a setting in LR3 to stop the automatic loading/viewing of the most recent picture capture while tethered shooting?

    I am having the exact same issue. I had to revert back to lightroom 2 (which dosnt do this when you place images in a collection) and use DIY photobits for tethered capture as I was getting that f@$king annoyed with this bug. I have looked at every setting and nothing seems obvious. Hopefully its not engrained in the software.
    Im just about to send adobe an email or attempt to to find out if this was done to purposely piss people off.
    And as for people who leave feedback saying "i dont know the answer" dont bother leaving feedback, it is completely pointless.
    FogleBR if you find a solution to this problem then please contact me and likewise if i find a solution.
    wurd.

  • I have an Air running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera, but have never downloaded any images from the camera to this Air. If I connect the camera to the Air, what might I expect? Will connecting the camera to the Air by a cable

    I have an 11" Air with lots of remaining capacity running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera. I have never downloaded images from the camera to this Air. However, if I just connect the camera to the Air's USB port, with the camera's available cable, and the Air is open, will a program like ImageCapture or iPhoto, auomatically come up, and I can begin to download wanted images? Or, will this sort of connection delete or fry everything on the Air? Do I need any other software on board? Will current Apple onboard programs allow me to download images from my camera and not destroy everything else?

    Answered. Thanks.

  • If I barrow an image from iPhoto, that is drag it to another file or the desktop it seems to half disappear.  It still shows until I try to enlarge it then I get a triangle exclamation mark in the enlarged field, once I return to Photos or an Album it is

    If I barrow an image from iPhoto, that is drag it to another file or the desktop it seems to half disappear.  It still shows until I try to enlarge it then I get a triangle exclamation mark in the enlarged field, once I return to Photos or an Album it is there.  However it can no longer be dragged into another file.  How can I recover these images?  Is there a better way to duplicate a image to locate in outside of iPhoto?
    I never had this problem in previous versions of iPhoto.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original file.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Tethered shooting using Import from camera

    the import function of bridge 3 is great. now all it needs is a simple applet that will alow you to keep that conection alive and download new images from the camera as they are shot.
    I feel that this should be realitivly simple now that all the hard part of creating the import module is done. just make a conection to a camera check for new shots as they come in and let bridge handle the rest.
    Many of us are using either DPP or C1 to capture to a folder and doing everthing else in bridge. what a waste of processor power. I have a programer friend that thinks he can do what I want but he is busy for a few months.

    EOS Utility doesn't require a lot of memory. Just have it open in the background and Bridge looking at the folder you've specified. With Bridge CS3 they pop right up unlike earlier versions which often had issues.

  • Error message when donloading images from camera....?!?!?

    I have been trying to import images from my Canon Rebel digital camera and am having some issues. I was having trouble with iPhoto which is why I purchased this great program. At first, the images were downloading fast and furious with Aperture but now I am having some of the same issues that I was having with iPhoto. It is taking forever and a day to import my RAW images and now I am getting an error message with almost all of my photos. It stalls out on them (and the red light stops flashing on my camera as if they aren't communicating) and then I get the message that there was "a problem downloading that image" and this error code: (ICA download error -609).
    This is extremely frustrating!! HELP!

    You're loading straight off the camera?
    Be sure the camera isn't shutting itself off in the middle of the transfer. It may auto-turn-off after a minute.
    I'd really suggest you use a card reader. You can get a USB2 CF reader which will be 10x faster than direct camera download for like $20. I can't fathom why anyone would use direct-from-camera in lieu of a reader, unless they were doing tethered shooting.

  • How do I get aperture to automatically insert a .png overlay onto incoming photos from a tethered camera and constantly view the incoming photos in full-screen without retreating back into gallery?

    As per the discussion title, I would like to be able to shoot with a tethered camera that will input images and display right away on my Mac on full screen, with each incoming photo display as such without ever going back to gallery view, and in each instance a .png graphics template is automatically overlayed on each photo that enters aperture such that when I print every photo the graphic template will appear on print.
    Is aperture able to do this on its on? If so, how?
    If not, is Apple script the only way to make this possible?

    Would it then be possible to direct aperture tethered shoots to a folder where aperture will hot import, from which I can use action after import via the scrip as you mention?
    I've seen it being done with my own eyes but I wasn't able to inquire more...

  • Canon 5d Mark III and Lightroom 4.3 tethered shooting issues.

    I bought a new Canon 5d Mark III and upgraded my lightroom to 4.3.  I have been having issues shooting tehtered.  I'll shoot and get some frames coming in and when I start plugging away the program bar will spin and I'll only get a few grey frames and it just kind of freezes.  I don't know what to do. 

    LR4.3 was supposed to improve Lightroom's built-in tethering, but in my experience it still has some reliability problems - especialy in recovering from broken connections (not just unplugging USB but also if the camera loses power by sleeping or when changing a memory card).
    Sorry if some of this is basic info, but I'd recommend you try a different USB cable - the cable end that connects to the camera is easilly damaged in a way that makes a connection possible, but unstable (I strongly recommend finding a cable with a 90 degree downward bend at the camera plug). Also, we often have to send a camera body in to have the USB port serviced. Canon has begun to provide a small rubber boot to reinforce the USB connection at the port, but they won't sell the part outside of a repair service. Be sure to use some kind of stress-relief for the cable at the camera. Tethertools sells one, but I've made mine DIY with a little string and a small binder clip... nearly free. Finally, be sure your cable is less than about 15 feet. If you need to go longer, I've successfully tethered with two cheap powered repeaters from Monoprice, but no single link should be over 15 feet.
    Oh yeah, also set your camera to not sleep for a long time.
    Beyond all that, is using EOS Utility for capture and LR Auto-import a viable option for you? It works very well for me. I use the Apple "Image Capture" app to tell my system to launch EOS Utility whenever the camera is connected - and set EOS Utility to launch into remote capture/camera control mode. It's very stable and recovers from disconnects or camera power loss and the remote camera control/live view can be pretty handy.
    Another plus is that if you do need to disconnect USB and shoot to card, you can just copy new images from the card to your watched folder and they are imported to Lightroom with the same settings and location.
    The only downsides for me is that there is no way to have a crop apply to new images using auto import -- and I have to re-save my develop preset each time I make a change. Using the "Same as Previous" option under develop settings in native tethering is so great for this and I'd love to see a similar option added to auto import.
    Hope this helps.
