Import Preview

All the thumbnails in the import screen preview are upside down. Is there any way to change the orientation?

Lightroom has never displayed this phenomenon for me before, until now. Just got a Nikon D3 and the thumbnails in the Import dialog are upside down. Hopefully and update will fix this.

  • Import Previews are very poor/pixelated ... D90 RAW

    When I am importing my NEF files from my D90 with a card reader, my import previews are of a very poor image quality. Once the images are imported, previews look great.
    Is there any way to improve the quality of import previews from the SD card?

    Well Kevin, did you take look to the Aperture tutorials like this http://www.apple.com/de/aperture/tutorials/#organizeimport-importbasics ?
    I am using a Nikon D100 and since few Weeks a D300 too and I do not have such trouble with the previews as you describe. Well, I do ever take a look to each image at full screen size and zoom it in to 100 % of size before I delete a photo. Thats can not be done in the simple preview window at import.
    Yes, Adobe Lightroom has partly some advantages over Aperture, but what I ever saw and tried out with Lightroom - for me - only the printing capabilities are the one, of which Aperture has to pass.
    I do have now over 15 thousend of photos in my Aperture library and do not want to switch over to Lightroom because of better printing features. If you like to switch over, do it - there is no reason to stay on with Aperture. Except you are using many of Apple Apps.
    I use iMovie 09 and Final Cut Express for creating slide shows of my photos, more seldom I use iPhoto for this. I do a lot of lay out work with Pages, use iWeb for some of my sites and so on. Within all of them I use without any pain the photobrowser with photos from my Aperture library. That can not be done with Lightroom, for example.

  • How to scale Import Preview Window?

    how can I scale the import preview window in  iMovie 11 ?   It worked in iMovie 09 (iLife 09) but it does not anymore in iMovie 11 .
    Actually I did not find out how to scale my import preview window in iMovie 11 when I connect an external Firewire Camera. The Import Preview- Windows stays fixed. This worked fine in imovie 09 !!
    When I switch to the internal iSight Camera then You can scale the Import Preview Window as I was with other iMovie Versions.

    Now I have the proof. There is a Bug in iMovie 9 (iLife11) with the import preview window..
    In iMovie 8 it is possible to scale the import preview window to any size You like while importing video. In iMovie 9 this is not anmore possible, except with the built in iSight camera. I have checked on different mac's with different imovie builts and I can reproduce this problem anytime.

  • Import previews doesn't work

    Hello, I'm using Lightroom v2.4 and Camera RAW v5.4. I have a Canon EOS 30D and Windows XP SP3, but Lightroom fails to display any import previews at all. The photos are just not displayed.Please see attached image
    I can view and edit the photos in Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop CS4. It is just the import preview in LR that doesn't work. I've been in contact with Adobe Customer Support, but so far they have failed in giving me any solution. Sad to say, but some of their attempts for a solution have been quite poor.
    I've also installed LR on a different computer with the same result
    Can anyone help? Regards, Sven David

    I believe (don't use windows myself) on XP you need some sort of RAW extension from Microsoft installed to see the previews for RAW files from many cameras. Others probably know more about this.
    A quick google shows this. That might be it but it appears old (as XP is of course)

  • Raw Import Preview from EOS 30d

    Hi All,
    I've got a question regarding RAW importing from a Canon EOS 30D. There are no previews only blank boxes with the image no. at the bottom. If I'm importing jpegs from the camera it's fine I can see the preview image. Also, is it possible to tell Aperture not to import duplicate images? Kind of like iphoto does where it gives you the option of ignoring images on the card that are already in the library.
    cheers
    M.

    Mike,
    Thanks for your response. The camera was directly
    connected to my MBP in both instances (with Aperture
    and Lightroom). I do, however, have a SanDisk card
    reader on order. Will see if that makes a difference.
    Just an update: got the card reader yesterday and did a couple of RAW shoots to test-import previews showed up right away. Hopefully this has fixed the problem.

  • Unable to import/preview any video file using Lightroom 5/5.2

    Hi,
    I am a fairly new user to Lightroom (around 4 months), and have been fascinated by the capabilities of this software when it comes to photos. From the start, I used to notice (but chose to ignore) that lightroom would not be able to import any of my video files successfully (all in supported formats such as avi, mov, mp4, usually mov from my Nikon DSLR). Recently, I have started digging around to find a solution for this and fix this issue of not being able to preview or import any video file. I have gone through most of the related posts around the interwebs about this (including installing QuickTime, checking my AntiVirus, checking specific processes whether they are running or not). As a last attempt to resolve this, I am hoping to get some expert help on this form. As a sample of the error message which I get to see everytime is attached below. Also given below is my system info. I can provide further debugging information if required, but I really, desperately want this to work and be able to import videos. Thanks a bunch!

  • LR 5.0 slowly in rendering import previews (RAW/Canon 6D)

    Hi guys,
    does anybody know s.th. about slow rendering imagepreviews in the import dialogue?
    My LR 5 is as slow as a snail generating those previews.
    Importing my RAWs form the EOS 6D (saved on a 95MB/s 32 BG SanDisk Extreme Pro) it renders only the 12 or 24 displayed previews and leaves out the rest (the next only when I'm scrolling down). For 12 images LR5 needs 8-10 seconds. LR4.4 does the same process for all 150 RAWs in 1-2 seconds.
    It doesn't matter if I want to import to my workstation (Dell Precision T1650, 8core Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2, 16GB RAM, 64bit) via USB 3.0 (Reader & Port) or to my laptop (Dell Latitude E6400). So it must be LR, not my hardware.
    Are there known issues with the Canon-RAW format? I just updated EOS firmware to 1.1.3, but the renderspeed stays the same. For 1 image 3-4 seconds single...
    @ Adobe-Experts: Could you please look after this very soon. Importing to different catalogs is not fun...
    Thanks,
    Ralf

    Hi
    I'm having a similar problem when importing Nikon NEFs into LR5 (true for two different cameras, D800 and D300). Rendering of previews is a) very slow (compared to LR4.4 installed on the same machine) and b) often incomplete, i.e. not for all files on the card a preview will be rendered (empty frames are displayed). Sometimes, scrolling the preview panel up and down remedies this, but there have been occasions where apart from rendering the first few previews, all the others remained empty no matter what I did. The irritating thing is that I have not found a pattern to this behaviour which would allow to find a root cause or which would allow a workaround.
    Computer: i5-760 CPU, 8GB RAM, Win7 premium home edition. LR5 installed on a different physical drive than the catalog and pictures, and the cache file is yet on another drive.
    I'm pretty confident that this is due to some issue in LR5 as importing with LR4 (or earlier versions, for that matter) showed none of these issues.

  • Raw Files Import Preview

    Hi, when I am importing pictures from my Canon EOS Rebel T3i, Lightroom shows "Preview Unavailable for this file" for all the raw files. I was testing Lightroom in a class a few days ago and I could preview all the raw files before importing them. How do I set the settings correctly so I can see the raw files in the preview mode BEFORE I import them? Thank you

    Are you using the camera to transfer the images to your computer? Canons often have trouble doing that. What happens if you use a card reader?

  • Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

    I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
    I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
    Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

    I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
    The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.

  • My lightroom 4 will not import my files from my compact flash card . It has been working for years with out fail but now there is no import previews and it says the files are not recognized by raw format support in LR

    I have lightroom 4 I've had it for years and it has imported my raw files from my CF card without issue . Now when I plug in my CF card to import new files it says import operations not performed and there are no image previews . When I continue by hitting "import" I get a pop up window that states "the files are not recognized by raw format support in Light Room"

    Don't feel too bad.  If the D4S has as many menus and custom functions as my Canon 5D Mark iii its easy to get messed up.
    If you downloaded from the link I gave you it will be Lr 5.4.   The link was just to show you when the D4S was supported.  The newest version is 5.7.1 and can be downloaded here.  Don't know your OS so you will have to pick Windows or Mac.   Product updates
    On my Mac I just run the downloaded installer program (its a full version and not an small update) and it installs the new version and erases the old version.  If you are on Windows you will have to get help from a windows person. 

  • Import Previews and Collections Only

    GOAL: to export the Previews and Collections info ONLY on an old Lightroom catalog/computer and apply that info to same photos on a new Lightroom catalog/computer.
    I'm moving my Lightroom Catalog from one computer that utilized multiple external drives to a new computer where everything will be on a single internal drive.
    I copied over all of the photos to the new computer and did some re-organizing to group everything better.
    I left the file structure within each Lightroom folder intact (eg., if I had sub-dvided photos into ten folders on the old Lightroom computer, those ten folders are the same, but I have put all ten into a new folder to enclose them all).
    Ideally, I'd like to just bring in the previews and collection info and apply it to the photos on the new Lightroom computer. Since there are over 20,000 photos, I'd like to avoid having to export as a catalog with all of those originals. Is there a way to export ONLY the previews and collections info and then import that to the new Lightroom computer?
    Thanks!

  • Import Preview Blank

    Just started with importing from Rebel XTi into LR, RAW previews are blank and JGP upside down. Show Preview is selected.
    Images actually import okay in LR.
    Using Card Reader works fine.
    I reformatted the cards, upgraded my Rebel firmware to v1.1.1, and upgraded LR to 1.3.1 on one window machine and tried a couple USB cables (both cables work fine with card reader) with no luck. No new software on either machine. I do not use color profiles. I do not calibrate my monitor on these machines.
    Works fine on Mac OS 10.4!
    Any idea on how to fix?

    >Using Card Reader works fine.
    Use the card reader then.
    I would never connect my camera via usb to my PC; I cannot even find my cable now, just threw it away or out of sight a long time ago.
    I have always used just card reader for my D200. I never connect my camera directly to my pc; it it so much easier to have a card reader connected and just plug in the card from the camera.
    You will never end up with issues of incompatibility between camera and pc then. And card readers are way faster than camera-to-pc connection. Additionally, you do not run down your camera battery just to transfer pictures.
    And of course the card reader will work with cards from multiple sources and multiple formats: phone, camera etc etc.

  • IPhoto 6 and Import Preview

    Good morning.
    A colleague of mine runs iPhoto 6 on his iMac. Doesn't this version allow for a preview of the photos that he will import? When he plugs in his Canon Powershot all he sees in the import window is an icon of the camera but no photos.
    Cheers,
    BurntMonkey

    No - yhou have to use image capture (in the applications folder) to selectively import photos - iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) is the first version of iphoto that provides previews and selective importing.

  • Import Previews Low Resolution?

    As an Event Photographer I need to be able to quickly preview images from my Cards, Import only the "GOOD" images and transmit these for immediate distribution.
    Problem is the PREVIEW of the images PRIOR to import are very low resolution and don't allow me to make an informed decision as to the quality of the image. Can this be adjusted?
    Also, any tips on speeding up importation would be appreciated.
    I've disabled FACES and PLACES and use a high speed FW800 card reader.

    I can't see how you could make a select in the camera but you can't make it with the camera-generated preview? Especially when the in-camera JPEG is what's displayed on the back of the LCD when you review images (All RAW files contain JPEG previews for this purpose, and the histogram is typically displayed using the info from this embedded JPEG preview).
    The fastest thing you can do for selections is to click Aperture's checkbox to use the embedded JPEG if possible. Then turn on quick preview mode and get to work editing. Note, Aperture 3 lets you edit while you're importing. It doesn't matter if the images are still on the card or have been copied to their final location. If the JPEG on the camera is good enough for quick reviewing, it should be good enough on screen... even if it is at a small resolution.

  • Import previews not showing

    I am running Lightroom 3.4.1 on Windows Vista Pro 64 bit, everything has been working flawlessly for months. In the last few days when trying to import photos directly from the camera (5d mark II and 7d) the previews suddenly stopped showing - instead there is a grey box that says preview not available for this image. No matter what I try - I can't seem to get the previews to show again - anyone seen this or know of what the issue may be?
    If I copy the files from the camera to the hard drive, and then import them from the hard drive - the previews show as per normal. If I go to a 32 bit machine - same configuration - the previews also show as per normal.
    Thanks

    No - I haven't found any solutions. I tried a new catalog, but same problem. It's difficult to troubleshoot because it works on my other machine, and it also works if I import from the hard drive.
    Are you using a Canon camera? Shooting in Raw I assume?
