Help with importing pictures in Lightroom

I have Lightroom 3 I’m trying to add my pictures from my Sony when I import the pictures Lightroom comes up with “The following files were not imported because they could not be read” I have windows 7

Also, are you trying to import directly from the camera, or via a card reader?  If your camera is on the supported list (and that's my first guess too), then try copying the files to your hard drive and importing from there, and see if that works.

  • Help with importing files into Lightroom 3.2

    Nothing has changed on my Mac for a year, except installing Lightroom 3 two months ago. I have had no issues importing till yesterday. Imported 300 .CR2 files, installed another card into my card reader and it will not import the files from the same camera, same shoot, done same day.
    I have tried to copy the files over to my hard drive and import from there. Failed again.
    I can open the files in Camera RAW and convert them to PSD files on a different drive and they still will not import from there.
    Any suggestions out there/
    I am begging to hate LR3 more and more and more every day.

    Copy the files from your card reader or camera to your Mac then import the files into Lr. You can configure Lr to import where to a new location or leave them were they are.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

    Since we don't know what version of Lightroom you are using, or your operating system, or your camera, or ANYTHING about what has happened and comparing that to the past, the only answer that can be given is, "Because."

    Lightroom starting the capture, but then nothing happens more, if I turn off the camera, I get error message photo 100-200 could not be loaded.

    What happened to the upgrade from Lightroom 5 to lightroom cc?
    The camera has the latest software.

    I've now tested in various ways.
    First, I have images on both memory cards in the camera.
    Test1) Selects Not all of the photos in the camera at the input port bearings, it seems to work fine.
    Test 2) selects all cards in the camera and then get the following, Lightroom starts inportera short but stops and nothing happens (Fig.1).
    I turn the camera off after a while and get the next meddelnade (picture 1)
    Which can be translated:

  • Help with importing .raw images and b+w filters

    I have recently been taking alot of b+w images.  With most of these images I apply a red in camera filter.  When I then import the pictures into lightroom 2.3 a color version of my picture is then rendered, without the red in camera filter that i took the pictures with.  Does anyone know of a way to restrict lightroom from changing .raw images to their color version and to show them as they were taken.  If it matters I shoot with a Canon 1000D.   PLEASE HELP!!   Thanks.

    Lightroom ignores metadata settings which are what is applied when you work with RAW and use Canon's Picture Style settings.  
    Those will be applied to JPG, but not RAW.  This is actually a feature, not a bug, because it's considered to give you more control by using the settings in Lightroom for Monochrome, and apply red tints-- plus you could always still have the flexibility of making a color print if you wanted, which you'd lose if RAW enforced the Picture Style settings.  If it bugs you, shoot in RAW+Jpeg (or just Jpeg), and bring the Jpegs into LR, but I'd recommend sticking with RAW and applying the edits you want in Lightroom instead.

  • Help with Editing Raw in Lightroom 3.6

    Hello everyone!
    I am new to the forum and also to using lightroom. I just need some help with editing my RAW files. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and I just imported the files to lightroom. It didn't show me the jpeg files for importing so I only imported the RAW files, which I needed. After editing, I realised it said CR2+JPEG. Which means that both files were imported but combied into a single one. Now I basically want to edit my RAW files only. Does that mean I have edited a jpeg or a mixture of both files? How to edit only the RAW file?
    If my picture says CR2+JPEG, does that mean it isnt a pure RAW file and the editing would affect the image quality?
    I will really appreciate some help!

    It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
    There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

  • Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

    Hi everyone,
    I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
    I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
    Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen,
    Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
    Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
    The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
    You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
    When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
    Have fun.

  • What is the best way to import pictures from Lightroom 5 into FCP X

    What is the  best way to transfer pictures from Lightroom 5 into Final Cut Pro X?

    There is no one best way.  If, for instance, you want to be able to zoom into the picture with a Ken Burns effect then you may want to save out a very high res version that will be larger than your video resolution. Just use Lightroom to export a jpg file wherever you want it. You could export it into the Events folder and then choose not to copy it when you import it within FCPx. You could import the picture into iPhoto and then access it directly from within FCPx. Those are two simple, "regular" ways to get it into FCPx but if you are not going to Ken Burns the image by zooming into it and such you will want to crop it in Lightroom to the same size you will be using ie if you are making 720HD video then crop the image to that size and proportion before you export it from Lightroom.

  • Need help with importing into iPhoto.

    I have a bit of an annoying problem when it comes to importing pictures into iPhoto (5.0.4). When I plug my camera into my computer, iPhoto launches and presents me with the import pictures option. However, it's not much of an option, as I can only choose to import all my pictures on the camera! More often than not, I only want to import some of the pictures, and rename them as well (instead of just "Image_0001.jpg", "Image_0002.jpg", etc.) To do this, I go through some really annoying steps:
    1.) Plug in camera and start the Picture import app (not iPhoto).
    2.) Choose what pictures I wish to import, and import.
    3.) Start up Automator.
    4.) Tell Automator to get the selected pictures of the ones I have imported, rename them (eg. "Iceland 1", "Iceland 2", etc.), import to iPhoto and finally delete the source pictures.
    5.) Repeat with the other pictures (eg. "Sweden 1", "Sweden 2", etc.).
    Done!
    Now, my question is... is there an easier way? This method I just described is long, annoying and time consuming! So, is there a way to...
    1.) Only import some pictures from my camera (not all), from within iPhoto?
    2.) Is there any way to change the name of the actual file (not just the title of the picture in iPhoto) from within iPhoto?
    3.) Does iPhoto have to copy all my pictures to a specific folder on my hard drive which I can't change?
    4.) (Not relating to iPhoto...) Is there any way of changing the names of a number of files from within the Finder to sequential file names (eg. "File 1", "File 2", "File 3", etc.) without the use of Automator?
    Thanks for any help. It's very much appreciated.

    Hi gurraJG,

  • Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

    I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
    Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
    Appreciate any advice you can give.

    let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
    but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:

  • Help with importing files

    Hello everyone,
    FYI
    [I'm running RoboHelp 5.0.2 - Flash Help. We have purchased
    the Bronze help package and the support doesn't know why we are
    having problems. We are using Visual Source Safe on a Windows
    server]
    I work for a small company that is planning to "roll-out" our
    new roboHelp site within a few days. We are having trouble with
    importing our .doc, pdf, and xls files. Here's what happens:
    I have a topic and I go to create a text.
    I highlight the text I want linked
    go to "Insert hyperlink"
    choose "Link to file"
    Browse to my file.
    When I click on Okay it ask if I want it brought inot my
    project. I click yes.
    I then notice that RoboHelp puts it in the baggage files (
    well most of the time it does)
    I save, check everything in.
    When I go to v iew it in Primary layout it saids "file not
    found"
    Help I'm going crazy. My boss thinks I don't know what I'm
    doing. :(
    Thanks,
    mj

    Hi MJ,
    Not sure exactly what the issue is with your help project,
    but I have links to pdf and doc files in my project and they work.
    When I click View Primary Layout, it brings up the output files
    that are generated to a different location than where the working
    files are. Is that how your project is set up? Because when I open
    a file via a link within the output, it calls the file from the
    same directory where the output files live (not from a baggage
    file). Is this what you are doing as well? This process has been
    working for me.
    Regards,
    Fred
