I can't import RAW files in LR4.4?

Hi, i'm using LR4 updated to the latest version LR4.4, I tried to import my RAW pictures from my NIKON D3300 (.NEF) but I can't. it says the following;
'The files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom'. What does that mean? and how do I import those RAW files in LR4?
I can see the images preview, can't open them and can't import them. Help please?!

First, you don't have the latest version, and you need at least Lightroom 5.4 to open these photos.
If you don't want to upgrade (which costs money) to Lightroom 5.4, you can download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.4 or later) and then use that software to convert your RAWs to DNG, and then import them into Lightroom 4.4.

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Do you have Lightroom 5.3 or higher?
Did you use Nikon software at any point on these photos?

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.

And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
"Unreadable Files
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

New Computer - Can't import raw files from Canon 1D mk 4

I just bought a new Toshiba Qosmio laptop and have reinstalled PS CS5 and LR 3.2 64 bit. LR says there are no other updates to install. Trying to import raw files from CF reader but LR is not showing me the raw files on the import screen. I have installed Camera Raw 6.2 plug in. It's been a long night but I can't see why files aren't importing properly. What am I missing? All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
The ACR plugin is not needed for importing files with Lightroom. LR has it's own "ACR" built in. The ACR plugin is used when opening Raw files from Photoshop.
Try copying the files from your card-reader to your hard drive using explorer/finder, and try importing from there. There have been quite a few reports where the card reader (and its connection) have lead to trouble while importing into LR.

HELP!!! I Can't Import .CR2 Files In Lr4?!?!

I have a Canon Digital Rebel T3 and everytime since yesterday I tried to import images it tells me it can't read file *****.CR2. I Am fairly new to photography but would like to know what a .CR2 file is and how suddenly I'm getting them and it won't let me import them. Did I accidentally change a setting in Lr4?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I have just got LR4 and the same thing happened to me after I chose a new directory to import them to, just refused to import them. I am importing Canon 5D2 CR2 raw files. However, when I used the default 'my pictures' it worked. Not good when you want to specify a folder for your images. Have you had any more insights into this?

How can I import raw files from nikon d810 to elements 12

How ca raw files be imported into elements from a nikon d810

If the images are in iPhoto for iOS use the Share to iTunes feature. Then connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with, open iTunes, select your iPad in the left column of iTunes and in the right column select General. Ten scroll down to find the File Sharing area and select iPhoto. You will see a pane where your photos are listed and you can copy them to your computer. I'm not completely sure the copies will be RAW files but at least you have saved a version of the photos.
I use my iPad to review, display and post photos but I use my computer to actually process RAW files. While I often connect my camera to my iPad to transfer photos I never delete them from the card and ill eventually copy them to more than one hard drive.

Can't import raw files; not seen by Lightroom

I have a Canon Eos 20d, Lightroom 2.3, and Windows XP. I just shot raw files for the first time and tried to import them into Lightroom. All of my jpeg photos on the memory card could be imported, but none of the raw files appeared to be even "seen" by the program. Any suggestions?

>Is there no way to do it from the camera directly?
I don't know about this camera but many Canons allow you to change the communication mode on the USB bus. For your computer to recognize the camera without special proprietary software, you need to set it to PC connection instead of PTP. This is usually in the setup section. In this mode, also called mass storage mode by other manufacturers, any software and any computer can communicate with your camera and it will just be seen as a (very slow) card reader. If you keep it in PTP mode, the computer can only see the jpegs. Very annoying indeed. It is very possible that your camera doesn't have the mass storage mode and then you might have to use Canon's software to load the RAW images from your camera or get a $10 card reader. A card reader should always work.

Can't import RAW Files via usb

I bought a canon eos 5D a couple of days ago. I don't know why but I can't import the raw files from the usb connection. When I press the eos 5D button from the import dialogue, the lightroom says "no files were found to import". Everything works perfect with an external reader but I do want to import them via usb. I don't want to be removing the card too often.
Can anybody help me or guide me to a possible solution?. Zoombrowser works fine and imports without problem. I love lightroom and don't understand why I can't import via usb. It's strange but it doesn't happen with jpg files. With those, I got no problem.
thanks in advance

It is a "by design" issue of the Canon driver software. There is nothing wrong with your hardware. To get the RAW files you need a card reader. <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Maybe you are right, but I want to know that everything works perfect with > my camera.

How can i import raw files into iphoto from my Nikon D300?

Just got a Nikon D300, and it will import jpg and tff, but not raw (nef) files-i prefer iphoto to their software- Nikon says to try talking to apple to find a way to do it- does anyone know any info that can help? I need to decide if I am keeping the camera-from other posts it doesn't look like buying aperture will help either- thanks.

I would not ditch a camera because of this! If you like the camera, there will always be a way to import Canikon RAW files, though you may need to do some upgrading, and it may take some time for Apple to support a new camera.

Cataloging Archive Drives And Can Not Import RAW files from Kodak DCS Pro

Tried with bridge and photoshop and they will not open DCR file
How can I convert this file to a DNG...do I need to go old school and download a older version of camera RAW or go to an old MAC te a os that supports Kodak's DCS host software

There is a separate DNG converter tool from Adobe, whichnyouncan download as freeware.
No idea though if this does support your special raw format.
This is often used to help people with LR3 but newer cameras, which are supported in LR4.x only.
Going for an older camera raw version will not solve anything, since older formats are always readable by newer versions (provided the file is uncorrupted).

IPhoto 09 can't import RAW file (.CR2) from Canon G10 Camera

Every time I try to import a RAW image on my G10 camera (the file extension is .CR2) into iPhoto, the program says that the file is in an unrecognized format. Yet the OS and I believe iPhoto supports RAW from the Canon G10. I have updated my software. Does anyone know why I cannot import this file?

Since the G10 support came with the 10.5.7 update download and reapply 10.5.7 COMBO Update again followed by a repair of disk permissions. See if that will jump start the import.

Can't import RAW files from a Canon EOS 450D

Hi there, I have a number of photos that I have taken in RAW & JPeg. The Jpeg are importing fine into Aperture, but the RAW files are just coming in as completely black images. Is there an option I need to select to get these in properly. Thanks in advance

Have you tried Digital Photo Professional? I found with my XS (1000D) that the RAWS from RAW+JPEG simply do not work, even in DPP. The solution was to use RAW only.
