How to import images edited in Capture NX-2 to Lightroom 3?

I've just started using Lightroom 3 and I'm thrilled with what it allows me to do. However, I have many thousands of images that were edited in Nikon Capture NX-2. Now I want to import them into Photoshop Lightroom 3 and use Lightroom as my workflow base. But when I import them none of my past edits are evident. How can I import them without throwing away those uncountable hours already spent getting the images the way I want them using Capture NX-2?

Yes...nearly all of those advantages.  TIFFs are "baked", NEFs are "raw".  You can manipulate NEFs with changes like white balance and the method of demosaicing.  You can't do that with TIFFs (or JPEGs) nearly as effectively.
Every raw converter (including the one in the camera) has its own settings and algorithms and those aren't directly transferable to another raw converter using different settings and algorithms.

    How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
    I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
    This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
    This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
    1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
    2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
    3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
    4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
    I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
    Thus my question is the same:
    -What software can do that?
    -Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
    -For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

  • How to import images in Application

    I know how to import images in Applet. Can anybody give me small example of how to import images in Application?

    import is a bad word to use in this context
    it's better to say 'how to load an image' i guess
    at any rate, there are 50 million articles, postings, samples, etc. that deal with loading images in Java

  • How to import images in iPhoto?

    I use iPhoto importing images from this same computer and from iPhone with iCloud. A problem I've always suffered also before buying iPhone was that I can't import images in iPhoto.
    Well, I can drag an image from, for example, the desktop, but if I delete that file on the desktop I won't be able to open that image in iPhoto, even if I've imported it. This is because of I don't know a way to "consolidate the library" in iPhoto (while I usually do it in iTunes), so iPhoto just manages my images, but it doesn't really import them.
    When, in iPhoto, I import a photo shooted with iPhone and showed in Photo Stream, that photo is really copied in the library, so in the computer, and I can delete the photo source, in fact if I delete that photo from Photo Stream that photo will remain however in iPhoto, and if I click on the high menu bar (FIle, Show Original ), a Finder window of the folder in which there is the copied photo will be opened. That finder is "hidden" in the stuff of the iPhoto Library (in Images folder of Mac), but it's not simply to go and find any photo in this way (folders and subfolders named with long numbers).
    So can I choose what way to use? The good of that second method is that iPhoto manage directly and really its photos because it "has" them, but the bad is the almost impossible way to find photos in that organization library (waster than iTunes media folder, that is clear). The good of the first method is that no automatic copies will be created because iPhoto just manage photos which remain in my folders, but the bad is that iPhoto doesn't manage them direclty, but depending on my folders and my files wherever and however they are, and I can't edit them because I would change the file that is used in iPhoto with an other different version.
    I think this is an annoying problem because there is a file with photos (i.e. the iPhoto Library) that contains copies of photos occuping memory while I don't know this is happening, because that copy is not announced, and simultaneously I have those photos of iPhoto free to be changed and removed with the risk of disappearing from the photos of the program.

    I can drag an image from, for example, the desktop, but if I delete that file on the desktop I won't be able to open that image in iPhoto, even if I've imported it
    That's an indication that you may have your library set up as a referenced library:
    Check the Advanced preferences in iPhoto to see if that checkbox is selected or not.  If it isn't checkec, check it and try importing agan. 
    To make sure all Photo Stream photos are automatically imported into your library set up iPhoto's PS preferences like this:
    You should read this User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto):  How to Access Files in iPhoto

  • How to import images on Nexus

    OK, Adobe do not want you to use Google or any cloud but their own when importing images into PS Touch. Selfish and very naive. It limits what could be a great app and turns it into nothing more than a occasional plaything. But there is a way.
    Install SketchBook Pro. This app will link to just about anything, these people know how to please, import your image and save it locally. You can then open it in PS Touch. Simple. Doesn't take too long, and until Adobe accept the fact there is a big wide world out there, will do the job.
    Have fun.

    To be fair, Creative Cloud does give you 20 GB of space for free. (Yeah, it's another account to manage but then again I have multiple accounts with different services anyway.)
    I have SketchBook Pro as well; it's a drawing app. It does its job quite well being a drawing/illustration app but it isn't Photoshop which excels at image editing. (I understand some digital artists use Photoshop to draw but that's always seemed like a little overkill to me. Meh.)

  • Import images edited in LIghtroom 4 into Photoshop Elements 11.

    I wnat to import images I have edited in Lightroom into Photoshop Elements.  It will only allow me to import the original RAW file and not the XMP Sidecar file.  I get the message "File type not supported.  Can anyone help?  John

    The usual method is not  to start Elements, and then try to get ("import") the edited image from LR (or, from disk). This is a more laborious approach, also limiting: for example you cannot externally edit a LR "virtual copy" this way.
    LR is designed to be the front-end, which  pushes  the LR-edited image out to Elements on demand (which will then be started up automatically, with the relevant image already opened for you). Doing it this way, the edited image then appears back in LR by itself, afterward, and the whole process is convenient. You can go back and edit the same image further, again using LR as your single access point to the image - both for LR adjustments and for Photoshop alterations.
    The standard "Edit in Photoshop / Edit in Photoshop Elements" method tries to work via ACR. This does not require saving .XMP files to disk, btw.
    It is also possible to force LR to render the file itself, which removes any issues of ACR compatibility, and employs the full gamut of LR function "up front" when starting an external edit. All Elements (or whatever) then needs to be able to do, is open up a readymade standard TIFF (or PSD).
    One way to force that is via dialog options, though the options presented do vary depending on the situation.
    Another way is to set up an external editing preset (in LR Preferences / external editing tab). This records a given combination of file attributes and program to be used (by browsing to the image editor program file), and is saved under a name. This name appears in the context menu (Edit In... submenu) and can be used directly thereafter.

  • How to import images in alphabetical order???

    How may I import images in alphabetical order? I have a stack of images that I have renamed so that they are in alphabetical order. However, when I import these ~100 images into iPhoto, it sorts them in some other order (perhaps, although I am not sure, by time taken). If iPhoto does not allow one to import alphabetically (although I sure hope it does, since this would be very convenient), any ideas how I may modify the image taken time so that I can get this set imported in the order that I need?
    Thank you very much!
    iPhoto 5.04
    OS 10.4.10

    What print service are you using? Is it an online print service? Or an iPhoto plug-in? To upload to a website you should export the photos (a Desktop folder is convenient) and choose the exports for the upload.
    If you are using the Finder to see a list of files, the Finder always lists them in alpha-numeric order. To get a list of photos to export to your Desktop (for uploading) and preserve your order, try this: create an Album, sort them the way you want, then Export to a Desktop folder. In the Export dialog, choose "use Album name" as the filename option. This will preserve your order upon export and name the files "Album name - 01.jpg, Album name - 02.jpg, ..., Album name - 99.jpg." It only works with 99 or fewer photos in the album, so for more photos create another album.

  • How to import images without creating duplicates of images aready imported?

    i am trying to find a way to import pictures into aperture without duplicating pictures already in the library. it will be great that aperture recognize that a picture is already in the library and ask if we want to duplicate or replace the picture with the new import. with my current system setting, i can import the same pictures over and over in the same project, and i get several duplicates with the same file name.
    how can i set up aperture so it recognizes that a pictures (according to its file name) is already in the library. thanks for your help.

    I never figured this out either and it bugged me. You basically have to import the iPhotos for instance the first time and if still uploading into iPhoto then have to import folders. Go to File>Import>Images/or Folders as Projects(what I usually do) and then track down the right folder and click Import. Make sure you have the right place clicked you want them on the Projects Panel or you may import them into the middle of another Project (done that more than once). Sorry I don't have answer but at least a fix till someone knows more.

  • How to import images that have the same name as images already imported

    I am trying to import images into LR3.  I have a number of images with duplicate names.  Some of them are duplicate images that I simply have stored in different directories and some are images that are not duplicates but have the same name.  LR3 refuses to import any images that has the name of an image that has already been imported.  Is there anything I can do about this.  If not, it kind of makes the softwares useless to me.
    In hopes of a solution . . .
    --Kenoli

    Thanks.  I'm sure making sure all file names are discrete makes sense.  I guess I need to find some kind of bulk re-name utility. 
    Additionally, I am dealing with a very large set of unorganized images and one of the uses I would like to put LR3 to is to organize the images into directories and get rid of duplicates while inspecting them to make sure that I don't trash differing images with the same names.  One of the challenges is identifying these images so I can re-name them.
    I have been working with Apple's Aperture, which doesn't rely simply on the name to identify images since it uses a more complicated algorithm to differentiate images from each other.  It is one thing I really like about Aperture.  What I like about LR3 is that it lets me use actually file directories to store images rather than moving them into its own file system like Aperture does.  I don't like having files locked into a system that is software dependent.
    Also, I finally found the checkbox that tells LR to import "duplicates."  I couldn't find it before.  I don't find LR3 as intuitive as I'd like.  I've always had to spend more time figuring out how Adobe software does things than I would like. I've had little luck with Adobe's support site, aside from this forum.
    Thanks for you helpful suggestions.

  • How to import images

    Just switched over from Frontpage and I was able to import images very easy there.
    I have about 50 images that I just want to put into an existing folder.
    How do I do this without having to build a page and insert each image on the page?
    Is there a way I can move all 50 images to my folder at one time?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Open your file manager.  It could be called Finder or Explorer

  • How to import images from iPhone 5 into Lightroom 4?

    After a recent iTunes software update, I can't import images from my iPhone 5 into Lightroom 4.  Now Lightroom doesn't even recognize that the iPhone is connected, nor does the Finder, which explains why I can't choose it as an import source.  Instead the iPhone only shows up in iTunes when connected.  Surely someone else has run into this issue.  Any known solutions/suggestions/work-arounds?

    You can use Graphics package for importing images in Java applications. But I am afraid you cannot display it on Text area, you can display it on JPanel, or JLabel or some container like this.

    I know your original pl/sql routine contained a COMMIT, but did you use the same code with the COMMIT? If not, are you checking the table from a different session?
    I ran your same code and it worked without issues. Are saying if you do a SELECT COUNT(*) from test007 it returns zero rows?
