How can i make lightroom 3 import photos as filtered in camera without changing them to color?

I am a film photographer, recently acquired digital camera (Canpn 5 D Mark II) for the first time.  I shot in monochrome+sepia+green filter but when I import in LR it switches all the photos to colour.  How can I stop the monster?  Thanks.

Actually, you can, but at a cost.
You could use Canon's DPP to convert your raw files to tiff or jpeg and import those to Lightroom. Or you could shoot in jpeg rather than raw and import the jpegs into LR. The first is a hassle, and both will likely cost you some quality.
Personally, when I want a monochome image, I go to the HSL/Color/B&W panel in the Develop module, choose B&W, and adjust the sliders to give me the image I want.

    Hello Sudhanshu Mishra,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can have iTunes reference the content where ever it is on your HDD without copying the content to the iTunes library, thus using twice the space.
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    From: Adding music and other content to iTunes
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
    Additionally if you want the content to then ALSO be located in your iTunes Library folder so everything is all kept together nice and tidy, use this:
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

  • How can I delete all photographs in stream of my iPhone 4 without loosing them on my mac?

    How can I delete all photographs in stream of my iPhone 4 without loosing them on my mac? Because I have too much photographs
    in my phone's memory and I need to know a simple methode to get them off.

    Login to iCloud.com, hit the "Reset Photo Stream" button. This will delete all photos stored in iCloud, but not any photos pushed to any devices. Then, on your phone, Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>Off. This will delete all photos in your Photo Stream album, on your phone. This will leave them on your Mac as long as you don't turn Photo Stream off on your Mac. If you first import them to your iPhoto library, you can then turn Photo Stream off on your Mac & they will remain in your iPhoto library.

  • How can I make printed copy of photo CD

    I have a folder of images that I will burn to CD. How can I make a printed copy of those images with text to file with the CD?
    imac g5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You can print a contact sheet with titles in iPhoto 6. I searched the iPhoto 5 forum and found a workaround from Ken.
    " Instead of Print, Contact Sheet use Share, Export, Web Page. .The "contact sheet" will be the thumbnails so be sure to select the Show title and Show comment boxes. Create a webpage, open it in your browser and print from there."
    And more detailed directions from Elizabeth Kley:
    "Creating Contact Sheet with Titles
    1 - Put the files you want to print in an album and arrange in the order you'd like.
    2 - Go to the File->Export->Web Page menu option.
    3 - While in the Web page window, select the number of thumbnails you'd like across each page (iPhoto will keep you informed on how many pages it will take).
    4 - Click on Show Title under thumbnails and click on Export. Then select the location where you'd like the resulting files to be saved (create a temporary folder to contain them).
    5 - Once saved, go the folder and open the index.html file with your browser. You will get a page with your thumbnails and titles beneath them.
    6 - Print that browser page and you've got your contact sheet with file names (or comments if desired). "
    Is this what you had in mind?

  • How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

    I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

    Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
    If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
    Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
    you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
    "Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
    right size for a thumbnail.
    If you do a search for the image name, both the
    actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
    the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

  • How can I edit size of imported photo?

    I imported a photo image. I bought a size too small. I cropped the max. width and required height.  It does not span across my website page. Can I add a rectangle 55 pixels wide x 281 pixels high on each end (like a border)?  And then color it black or whatever.  How do I get this done?  Thanks.

    In the menu, select Image > Canvas Size. It's pretty straightforward.

  • How can I make Photoshop Elements import files after it gives incorrect error code?

    I had 17,000 photos on my hard drive well organized in folders before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. I was able to get it to import only 467 into the catalog. I tried browsing, searching, selecting files and no matter what I did to bring inthe remainders (including trying to bring in folders with only 60-80 in each, moving files into new folders, etc.) and still can't see them in the organizer view. It allows me to highlight the folders or highlight the photo jpg files separately, says it is getting media, but then comes back with message that "files are not in correct format or are in the catalog" but they ARE in normal format jpeg, can view in other programs, and they are NOT visible in the catalog. Very frustrating, especially after wasting hours downloading the program from Amazon Marketplace - took hours, then had errors and had to redo twice. Running WIN 7 on 6 month old Sony computer with 8 GB RAM and quad processors. Thanks for any help.

    You should try posting in the PhotoShop Elements forum, especially if no one else here has a better suggestion to offer.  It is possible someone else has encountered the same problem and you could search there to see.  If you post there and you do have an error message, you should include the details of that error message.

  • How can I make a user imported image rotate on a control?

    I am trying to import a graphic to use in place of the needle on an indicator. When i do this, however, the image does not rotate, it merely moves around while maintaining its original orientation.
    Is there a way that I can import my own image into a control or indicator, and have it rotate (pivot around some center) when given a numerical input, such as 0 to 360 degrees?

    Hi Kevin12345,
    I do know of a way to import an image to control... and have it rotate.
    Depending on the complexity of your image, a picture control may be usefull.
    The Robot arm example demonstrates how an angle can be used to control an image. If the image you are trying to import to complex to code, this may not be viable.
    If you can be happy with a reduce resolution (i.e. interger degree steps only) you could use your favorite image edit app to rotate the image one degree at a time, and then import each image into a picture ring.
    All of these work-arounds lack scaling.

  • How can I make more than 9 chapters in IDVD? None of the themes will let me..

    I am making a dvd of our home movies for each year. I have divided the movies up by month and am trying to make a simple dvd using one of the themes and have one chapter for each month. For example I made an imovie of all the january videos and saved it as an mp4 file. I drag that into the dvd menu screen for the theme I picked on IDVD and name that chapter "January" Everything works great until I have the first 9 months and it won't let me drag any more movies over to make the last 3 chapters for the last 3 months. I haven't been able to find a theme even going back to the oldest ones that allows 12 chapters.. can anyone help me on this one?

    I suggest you repost your question in the iDVD section.

  • In LR3, can I import photos from an external drive without copying them?

    When I try to do this, the 'Add' button is greyed out so I'm assuming I can't. The only options are 'Copy as DNG' and 'Copy'.
    I want to leave them in their original location. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can relocate your iPhoto library to an external drive and it will function exactly the same way it does on the boot drive as long as the external is mounted.
    It's easy to do. Simply use the Finder to copy the whole iPhoto library folder to the external. Do not open the folder or tamper with its contents. When copied, hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto. In the dialog box, click to choose an existing library, navigate to its new location. iPhoto will now use this as its default location until you tell it otherwise.
    P.S. How do you like this snow? Isn't it crazy?
