I can't import image files from my camera to Photoshop Elements

My iMac recognizes my camera (a Canon Powershot S100 Digital Elph).  I know this because it automatically starts iPhoto and loads the images.  The problem is, I am sick and tired of iPhoto, and I want to use Photoshop Elements instead.   When I connect the camera to the iMac (via a USB port), I do NOT get a camera icon signifying a new volume or drive on my desktop.  So when I open Photoshop 4.0, I can't find the files to import.  I could allow the computer to import automatically into the iPhoto library, then manually drag the image files into a different directory for use by PSE, but that seems way too complicated.  Why should I have to do that?  Please help if you can.
John

I'm using OS X 10.4.11. 
Maybe I didn't explain it very well.  Let me try again:
I would like to be able to connect my camera to the USB port of the iMac, turn on the camera, and then view the images from the camera memory on the screen using Bridge (the subroutine for file management in Photoshop Elements).  I have not been able to do that. 
Instead, my iMac immediately displays the camera images by opening iPhoto.  There is no option in iPhoto for importing the images to anything other than the iPhoto library.  So I have to go find them there, copy them into the directory were I want them, and then erase them from the library (which is a little tricky by itself).  Then I can manage them in Elements/Bridge.
I thought when I bought Photoshop Elements that I would be able to open it and then tell it to import the images from my camera, into a directory of my choosing.  That would be less error-prone and a lot less work.

    How can I  process raw files from lumix GH4 on photoshop elements 12?

    Your files should open in photoshop elements 12, since there is only one version of camera raw 8.5
    (RC means a release candidate of 8.5, which came before the final version of camera raw 8.5 and was for testing)
    In the pse 12 editor if you go to File>Open and select one of the lumix GH4 and then press Open, what happens?
    In the pse 12 editor, if you go to Photoshop Elements>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?

  • Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

    I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    What model of Kodak is it?
    There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
    Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I open RAW files from Nikon D7100 in Photoshop Elements 9?

    How can I open RAW files from my Nikon D7100 in Photoshop Elements 9

    Three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE11
    2. download the free Adobe DNG Converter and then convert your RAWs to DNG, which will open in PSE9
    3. Use manufacturer's software and convert to TIF (or JPG)

  • Can't import big files from my camera to the laptop

    hey guys.
    i take movies with my digital camera, and so far all the movies shorter than 3 minutes long import without a problem, but anything above 5 minutes just refuses to get imported into iphoto. the "importing screen" will show, but after a long time it will just end and the movie will stay in the camera.
    because i can't "see" the camera in Finder, there's no way to access the long movie files on the macbook.
    anyone have any ideas?
    thanks.
    Ronny.

    well one way of taking out the large file is to read the camera like a hard drive, and mounting it to the desktop. this is done by changing the transfer settings in the camera itself, so that it reads like a SD card reader.

  • Unable to import raw files from a99 in to photoshop elements 10

    All worked fine with a77. Have downloaded new adobe raw 7.2  Can import for sdhc card to LR and then edit in PSE10 but unable to download from card into PSE10

    Hi,
    The SLT-A99V is supported by LR from version 4.2.
    You do need ACR 7.2 or later for that camera, however PSE 10 only supports up to ACR 6.7 and not ACR 7.2.
    Since you have LR, the best approach would be to use LR to convert the RAW to a TIF and import that into PSE 10.
    Alternatively, you could download the latest DNG converter and use that to convert the RAW files to DNG files and then import the DNGs.
    Out of interest, if you use LR, why do you want to import them into PSE? I use LR as my organizer and only use the PSE editor as an external editor when I want to do more complex editting - I don't need the PSE organizer.

  • How do I download images from a camera into Photoshop Elements 7?

    Previously I've  downloaded digital images directly from my camera into Photoshop Elements 7.0  In trying to do that today, I go to "File", choose "Get pictures from Camera", then see a "source" box, with an instruction to "Get Pictures from:" and offers a "source" box for choosing.  The single "source" listed is my printer, not my camera!  Am I doing something wrong? Is Photoshop defective?
    Please help me out.
    Gene F.

    Hi Gene
    Yes Elements is defective.
    There are known bugs with the photo downloader, notably if you run the program on a net book or laptop with minimum screen resolution.
    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) will not.
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.

  • I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

    I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1.  Does Sony offer a plug in?

    I shoot fishing footage of big catches.  Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i.  It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab.  Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames.  Thank you again for your reply. 

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

    How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

    Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have  been in the latest update, 4.02.
    In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
    While I can't say for sure  Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.
    regards
    And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

    Luis,
    Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

  • I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop cs5, but they dont save properly after editing

    I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop, but then after I have edited, i save as .raw, and open up the newly saved file and it just comes up as a grey messed up picture.  What am I doing wrong?

    r_r_a_a wrote:
    I thought that it was preferrable to do editing on RAW files rather than TIFF for highest image quality.
    Yes, it is preferable to do as much editing on the raw files as you can including global and local tone & color correction in Camera Raw...but there is a limit to the work you can do and sometimes you must go ahead and render the raw file into Photoshop for additional work. Then you'll be needing layers and other functionality that can't be done on a raw file. At that point you'll need to save as a TIFF or PSD. If you work in 16 bit and a large enough color space, the TIFF or PSDs will still be capable of the highest quality...as others have indicated, the Photoshop .raw file format ain't for photography per se.

  • Does FCP7 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?

    Does the new FCP 7.0 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?
    Does it need any conversion? If yes, how is the conversion time, and does the conversion degrades image quality?
    Thanks in advance.
    Desmond

    Which sony camera? there are a lot.
    Yes, it needs to convert. AVCHD isn't a format that most editing systems deal with natively. You will be converting it to ProRes. The conversion time is dependent on too many factors to give a precise number. Based on computer used, processors, RAM, how much footage, where it will be stored...all of that. The conversion doesn't degrade the image.

  • Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

    hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

    ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
    What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list.  Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.
