Import a RAW file

Hello,
When I try to Import an .CR2 file Lightroom 5.6 is doing some "Calculating" and then "destroy" my picture with QuickDevelop settings. I try to find where to Disable that but with no success, can anyone know another solution?
Thank you,
Bogdan

You're welcome Bogdan,

I did not know why the picture look different from the original.
Just to be clear:
- Original is camera-generated jpeg preview (stored in the raw file).
- Different picture is Lr-rendering of raw data.
If you generally like the former better than the latter, then consider changing default settings, including camera calibration profile.

Importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6 when it worked fine on ios5. Anyone have a solution?

I have been importing cr2 raw files to my iPad using ios 5 but importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6. Sees files in camera but when import stops it fails with an exclamation mark in red circle. Anyone have a solution?

Don't know if you care anymore or it applies, but I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
- Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
- Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
- Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
- Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
- Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
- Reinstall all your apps and content
- Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too. It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad. Had to start clean.
It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved. This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.

How to import only RAW files from camera?

I also shoot with both RAW and JPEG, such that I have access to JPEGs to share with people immediately before post-processing. But I only want to use RAW in my Lightroom flow.
When pictures are already in Lightroom, I use filters in the library view to show only RAW, or only JPEG, or both (by applying a filter on the file extension).
But how do I set a filter before importing? I would like to import only the RAW pictures into lightroom, but I don't see a way of doing that using Lightroom's import from camera card features. I either have to let lightroom import all, and then remove the JPEGs, or use Windows explorer to copy over just RAW files and then use Lightroom to import.
I would like to use Lightroom in just one step to import all RAW files (but only RAW files) from the camera card directly to the library. A file filter in the import dialog seems like an easy feature to implement.

Another reason to have a filter in import is then you can then apply a preset to the RAW files only. At present if I want to apply a preset to my RAW files on import I have to apply it to the JPEGs too as there is no way of being selective on import. I then have to remove the preset from the JPEGs, which is a pointless and unnecessary task, whilst LR is busy rendering the unwanted look.
I shoot both file types on one cameras as the JPEG gives me a look that is very hard to replicate with the RAW files and on another camera I use a picture style to remind me of what I was looking for when shooting. Again as it's a custom style it's very hard to replicate the look in LR from the RAW file.
Though a major reason I shoot both JPEGs + RAW is that I was asked by a client a few years back, when I only shot RAW for all the shots as JPEGs to select down from. As this was a 4 week feature film shoot it took several days constant rendering out of Photoshop to output the JPEGs. This was just before LR and even then, LR would still take considerable time to produce all those exported files, though a lot quicker than PS I would hope. So now I always shoot JPEGs as well so I never have to waste time outputting JPEGs for a client to do a rough select.

Can I update elements 11 to import olympus RAW files from my new OM-D M5 mk 2?

I have bought a new Olympus OMD E-M mark 2. Great, but my copy of Elements 11 won't import its RAW files. I have tried to instal RAW 6.4.1 and RAW 7.1 patches but the installer just says it's the wrong version even though I downloaded from a Elements page. I've just re-installed the Application Manager and that didn't help. Please can you help me find the right patch and get it working?
Thanks

No you can't update PSE11. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Problem importing NEF raw files in PSE 11

In the past week I have become unable to import Nikon raw files (NEF format) into PSE 11 editor. I seem to have the latest version of PSE 11 and the latest camera raw plug-in (7.4). All was working fine. I now get an error message "unable to use the camera raw plu-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements".
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks.

Did you update via the Help> Updates menu option or by some other means?
Search your computer to make sure you only have the one copy of 'Camera RAW.8bi'. On my windows 7 64-bit it is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi and is 24,719,736 bytes.
Are these NEF files from a newer Nikon camera? If so which one? Each camera has it's own NEF format (although the error message you get does not suggest this would be the problem)?
Cheers,
Neale

Why Won't Lightroom 3.6 Import Camera raw files from T5i

I have Lightroom 3.6 all updated. I can't Import any raw files from my T5i
I have also tried using Adobe DNG but it will not read the files either.

You need LR 4.4 or DNGC 7.4 or newer for the T5i:

Import fuji raw files

Is there any way for Aperture 3 to import Fuji RAW files? Lightroom does.

X1 Pro - RAW not yet supported. Understand it takes a little while as it's a new sensor type but Lightroom has caught up now and Aperture is supposed to be a serious photographers' tool; just as the Mac has always been a serious photographer's computer.
Come on Apple....!

What camera are you using? The RAW support is camera specific. Have you installed the latest Digital Camera Raw update 6.01?
If you are already running the latest raw support, try to reinstall:
To reinstall you need to exchange files in the System Library. So be sure to backup your computer before patching the system library.
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password.
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.
If the current support is still causing the problems after reinstalling, try to downgrade to Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.07

Aperture import of RAW files

Why does Aperture suddenly not allow me to import RAW files?
The message I get is that a specific amount of space is required
to import these images, I'm certain that I have the space available
on my computer for the import to occur. Please help...
Thank you,
Mike

What OS and Aperture version are you using? Did you check you amount of disk space available? Can you create a new library and import 1 RAW file?

I've been trying to download an update to Photoshop so that I can import a raw file. Half way through it stops and tells me that to continue I have to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe. I have NO other programmes or applications open. None at all. What should

I've been trying to download an update to Photoshop so that I can import a raw file. Half way through it stops and tells me that to continue I have to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe. I have NO other programmes or applications open. None at all. What should I do? And by the way, how do I can't Adobe, instead of asking others (i. e. doing their job for them)?

close that exe using your task manager (win) or activity monitor (mac).

Error importing a RAW file

How do i import camera raw files to photoshop elements 9 when it is saying it doesnt recognise files from card.

how do i import raw files onto elements 9 when there is a message saying it doesnt recognise files

Hi Steve,
The Canon 700D requires a camera raw at version 7.4 or later - unfortunately that is not compatible with PSE 9.
You have three options.
1) Buy the latest PSE
2) Use the Canon software (DPP) that came with your camera to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then you can import the TIF files into PSE and use them.
3) Use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files and then import the DNG files into PSE.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6
If you want to know more about DNG, this video may help (you only need to watch the first part up until the DNG converter is explained)

Lightroom 4.4 will not import NEF RAW files from Nikon D610

I shoot a Nikon D800 and have never had any issues importing my NEF RAW files into Lightroom. I borrowed a friend's Nikon D610 and shot a bunch of NEF RAW files. I downloaded them to my computer the same way I always do. For some reason, Lightroom will not import them. The error message is: "The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (455)"
My Lightroom 4.4 is current and up-to-date.
Bottom line: I have a bunch of RAW photo files I can't import into Lightroom for editing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

>Just curious -- is there some difference between the NEF files created on my Nikon D800 (which are easily imported into Lightroom) and the NEF files created on the Nikon D610 (which are not easily imported into Lightroom)
Lightroom 5 supports the D610. There is a big difference between nef from the D610 and older cameras. They were shot with a camera that Adobe hadn't profiled yet when LR 4.4 was out. Otherwise, if you hack the nef files to read that they were shot on a D600, LR 4.4 will read them, but I would caution against doing that as the sensor is slightly different on the D610 than on the D600, resulting in differences in color rendering. Simplest is as dj says to convert the nets to dng (which embeds the newer profiles in the file) or to upgrade to LR 5.

Aperture imports, and RAW files...

After I import raw photos into Aperture when I first click on the photo and it opens in full screen, it looks brighter/best and then a second later the photo darkens colors change just a little, almost like I have an import preset assigned and it only happens when I import raw photos not JPEG's. Can someone tell me how I can make sure that I don't have some kind of preset happening, I would like to have the photo's stay the same as when i first import?

You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

Magenta veil on all imported CR raw files, this veil not present on jpeg

After importing in LR 1.3 raw files from Canon EOS 5D or G9, they all appear to have a magenta veil
compared to the jpeg image shot simultanously that has a perfect colourbalance.
However if I develop these Canon raw files in the canon raw developer (Canon Digital Photo Professionnal) the raw files come up with perfect colorbalance.
Does this have anything to do with a setting that I didn't discover in LR, or do you have to make a profile for the camera in the development module ?
It is a pain because on some images this magenta flair is really hard to correct as there is quite a lot of it.

You've got to make a profile.
Some people usewell-known scripts in CS2 and CS3 (Fors script) using pictures taken of a Color-checker to help them make a calibration preset.
It stems from Adobe not wanting to use Canon's SDK as it is too restrictive, and wouldn't allow Adobe to do other things we like to do in ACR. Also stems from Canon not fully opening and documenting their RAW format. Finally, stems from Adobe not figuring out yet how to correct this issue without reverse-engineering the format and potentially opening themselves up to lawsuits. (Though can you imagine consumer reaction if Canon told a software maker to stop making their users photos look so good?) They apparently were trying to make some improvements with color with latest ACR/LR update (but it had the side-effect of breaking other things, and didn't address other common color complaints.)
