I cannot import images from my camera directly into Elements Organizer

I am trying to import images into Elements Organizer from my Canon EOS 6D, but it doesn't work properly. I am expecting the images to appear in the Elements Organizer, but the images are only imported onto disk. At the moment I have to re-import images from the disk location as a second step. How can I perform this in one step, as I have seen this in the tutorials?
I am on a Mac using Yosemite using version 13 of Elements Organizer.

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
Highlight your card.
Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
Then start the import.

Why can I import images from my scanner in Adobe Elements 11 organizer but not in photo editor?

Why can I import images from my scanner in Adobe Elements 11 in the organizer but not in the photo editor? I have Windows 8 64 bit.

You need to install TWAIN to scan into the editor:

I cannot import images from EXT HD

UNtil yesterday, everything was fine. I am on a Mac. Running iOS 10.9.5 and LR version 5.5 (CR 8.5)
I have imported images from my card into Aperture and these images are stored on an external HD. I then bring the ones I wish to edot into LR
When I try to bring them inot lr, the import process seems to go as always, but upon completion, i get a message saying 'some files cannot be written'. No Error code. Basically all files are not being written. The images are in Aperture. I can see and edit them there, but I cannot bring them from there into Lightroom as I have always done. I havemnt done anything to change my set up. SOmething has happened and I dont know what it is or what to do about it.
I upgraded from LR4 online, so I no longer have a physical cd of the software.
I would be very grateful for any help anyone can give me. Thank you

I mean the directory specified in the Lightroom Import dialog box, near the top right, it says "Destination". Has that directory been accidentally changed to someplace different than it was before when things were working properly?
I can't tell you how to change permissions, as I am not a Mac person, but I think that Google thing might be able to find the answer.

How can I import images from my camera to my external drive instead of Mac, but still use IPhoto?

I would like to preserve space on my new Mac and import photos from my camera to my external drive instead of my Mac, while still being able to use Iphoto. Not sure how to specify this.

Move your Library to the Extnernal Disk -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Then import as normal.
Regards

Lightroom 4 would not import images from my camera

I have been importing and editing photos from a Canon Powershot S3-IS and never had a problem until today. This is the first time I've tried it with the latest upgrade to lightroom.
I first tried importing from my camera memory card slot. Lightroom froze. Then I tried using my card reader and inserting that in the USB slot. Lightroom froze. I tried to connect the camera directly to the computer with the USB cord. Lightroom told me that it could not import the files.
I tried importing the images to my computer and then from my hard drive copying them into Lightroom. That worked.
Is the camera too old to use with the latest update from Lightroom. I would think a jpg. file would be pretty standard.
Any ideas on how to import to Lightroom without the extra step?

Perhaps there is a problem with the camera card. But I still believe there is a hardware problem somewhere.
I can think of hardware problems that can cause this to happen, but I cannot think of any software reasons why LR won't read a JPG, except when it is on a hardd isk.

Why I cannot import movies from my camera to iMovie?

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm trying to download some movies from my Canon PowerShot SX210IS. To download movies I am using iMovie 09 Version 8.06.
When I click on the "Open Camera Import Window" it only shows one alternative as shown below.
It shows "Built-in iSight" and there is no other alternative to select my camera ...
How can I make iMovie to show my camera in the down arrow so I can select it and download my movies?
Your advise and recommendation will be appreciated very much.

Hello AppleMan1958:
Thanks a lot for your answer, but this is exactly what I am doing and what it does is showing my own picture from the camcorder in my computer. I don't have any alternatives to directly import my movies from my camera.
I have received answer from Klondike Kid and gave me the possible cause of my problems. iMovie does not recognize digital still cameras as "movie" cameras. I will have to use an external USB card reader in order to import directly from iMovie.
Again, thanks a lot for your answer.

Since installing snow leopard I cannot import photos from Kodak camera anymore..

I recently upgraded from 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Previously I had no problems importing photos from my old Kodak Easyshare camera into i-photo, but I now get an "unreadable files" message when I try to import photos. Is there any way to solve this please?

This could be your SD card in the camera. Often, if the SD cards needs to be reformatted, this can occure.
You can try importing the images in Image Capture. If this works, I would suggest reformatting the SD card, or replacing the SD card.
Try opening the application "Image Capture"
- you should see the camera in the left hand column - select it
- the images should load on the screen
- in the bottom middle menu / "import to" , change to "iPhoto", then click "import" or "import all" or "download some" or "download all"
- iPhoto will bounce, and display what is being imported

How do I import video from video camera direct to the computer

I have a macbook pro 15inch with retna display. I want to import video from my HDV Video camera. The camera has a HDMI port, and a firewire (squarish port, very small). What can i get to import the video to edit on the laptop.
Thanks
Russell

Frank is right, you can buy from Apple or Best Buy the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Now to your second question. The ports on your camera are similar to mine. I am still working out the HDMI to thunderbolt thing, but the small squarish port is your DV out port. You will need a 4pin to 9pin cable, which I just bought at Radio Shack.. don't get the RocketFish cable from Best Buy, it is BAD!! Trust me, I just spend so much time and money only to find out that for whatever reason, the Rocketfish cable that BestBuy sells is junk. Gigaware at Radio Shack worked INSTANTLY my friend when I fired up iMovie.
Try that and see if that doesn't help.

Cannot import image from PSCC to LR 5.3

I use mac OS 10.8.5, LR5.3 and PSCC.
I sent an image from LR5.3 to PSCC (via edit in PS) where I edited it and then saved it, under a new name, back to the same folder in the LR catalog. It does not seem to matter if I save as TIF or as PSD, I get the following message:
I can the choose SYNCHRONIZE FOLDER by R clicking the folder in lightroom and the image is promply displayed in the LR grid.
This is a recent problem. Don't know what I might have changed in preferences for either application.
Very grateful for any advice,
vince

Geoff,
As many others i clicked correct in error. I am making a day of errors.
I have corrected that to give you credit. I retraced my steps with the initial problem and
REMEMBERED THAT THE IMAGE HAD BEEN SENT TO VIVEZA in desperation TO IMPROVE COLORS. I closed viveza without making changes to the image but I feel certain that that has had something to do with the problem.
I am severly humbled, and am VERY GRATEFUL THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO HELP ME.

Can I download photos from my camera directly into PSE Editor?

I am using Mac OSX Lion v 10-7. If I install the PSE Editor from the Apple App store, will I be able to download my photos directly from camera into PSE Editor? I would like to process my photos with PSE as
I have done for many years with Windows, then, after fine-tuning them, place them in a location of my choice. I guess what I need to know is: Is the PSE Editor sold by Apple App Store a stand-alone app, or
is it tied-in some way with iPhoto wherein the user must go thru iPhoto to PSE, then back to iPhoto for display in an album. A last question: does anbody know for sure that Adobe has worked out all the "kinks"
of PSE 10 in re to OS X Lion. Thanks all, from a beginning iMac user.

You don’t get the Organizer with the app store version; so you would be best to buy the boxed product or download the 30 day free trial from Adobe which is the full product.
Otherwise if you are prepared to operate differently to how you did in Windows, you can use the iPhoto Library with the Elements Editor set up as your external editor or simply use the app on a stand alone basis, opening images in the editor directly from folders.

Cannot import AVCHD from Sony SR-7 into iMovie 09

Well - looks like I join the ranks. I can no longer import HD format movies from my Sony SR-7 into IMovie 09 since I upgraded to version 8.0.5. Does anyone know what happened? iMovie 09 worked beautifully until the upgrade. I can import SD and digital photos just fine. iMovie 09 (8.0.5) no longer "sees" the HD files on the camera. I'd really appreciate some help here.

Hi sblackatc - and welcome to Discussions!
I have the same camera which works perfectly with iMovie '09 version 8.0.5
iMovie '09 will not recognise HD (AVCHD) footage if you also have SD (MPEG-2) footage on the camera. You must erase all SD video from the camera, after archiving/importing it to your Mac. The camera will then be able to see your HD video. See this Apple article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793
If this is not the problem try this:
After connecting to your Mac via USB, open the LCD monitor on the camera. It should show a menu page labelled "USB Select". On this menu touch the item labelled "Computer" with the hard disk icon (not the memory stick icon). The camera will then show that it is connecting with the computer. Wait a while for iMovie to connect and generate the thumbnails for each clip. You should then be able to import and/or archive all clips on the camera.
Hope this helps!
John

How can I import pics from an android phone into Elements 10?

I'm trying to import pictures from my Samsung Galaxy S III into Elements 10 (Windows 64) using a micro to USB cable.
How do I do it?

Hi Bobby, once you have connected your phone, it should show as a drive.
Open PSE 10 Organizer and go to File >>Get Photos and Videos >>From Files and Folders
There you can choose your phone drive and locate your folder that contain your images.

Moving images from iPhoto 11 to Photoshop Elements Organizer

I understand that iPhoto 11 kept all images within the iPhoto Library. In order to move them into the Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer, they must be moved to the hard drive of the Mac and then imported into Elements 12 Organizer.
Is there any way to do this in one step?
Mary Lou

If you want to keep the photos organized by the Events they are currently in use this export setup:
If you want to keep the keywords, titles and descriptions added in iPhoto change Kind to JPEG and set JPEG Quality to Maximum and check both checkboxes.
