Importing from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom

Lightroom does not seem to recognize my Nikon D7000. I connect the camera, open LR, and nothing happens. I can click Import, but it doesn't recognize the device. The D7000 comes with Nikon's ViewNX2 software which they want you to use for import. Do I really need to use that to import photos from the camera, then import them from ViewNX2 into LR? That seems like a pain. I just upgraded to LR 3.6 so I don't think that's the issue.
Thanks for any help!
Carrie

Carrie,
3.6 will read your D7000 files. In general it's best to use a card reader, but the camera should work. I'm not familiar with the D7000, but my D300 has two modes for USB: PTP and Mass Storage. The camera has to be set to Mass Storage to read images from it. Your camera may be the same.
If that isn't the case, try using Windows Explorer or Mac's Finder to drag and drop your pictures from the camera to your hard disk and then import from there.
Let us know how it goes.

Import Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom 3

If I understand correctly I must upgrade to Lightroom 4.3 or get a converter in order to import my Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom?
Not sure if I understand it correct? Which is the best way?

I use LR 3.6 with the latest updates for camera raw for this version, I believe it's 6.7, and my D7000 and its NEF's were correct handled.
Did nothing else as install the program, update every time there was an update and in September when I bought the D7000 LR worked fine with his NEF's. Before I had a D40x which was als correctly handled.

Import from photo stream into Lightroom 5.7 - how can I import only new photos since first import of all photos in stream (mac)

Hi
Importing my photos from photo stream (mac) went well, got 2012 photos out of my photo stream into LR 5.7 with the help of the new plug-in.
Now I have 3 new photo's in the stream and I want to add them to the library of LR.
When starting up the plug-in it tells me it will import 2015 photos, instead of just 3.
I hesitate to continue the process and to try my luck as I'm afraid I will end up with more than all 2012 photos doubled.
Any experience out there yet?
Thanks!
Kind regards
Jan

Found it.
At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
Thanks.

Can't import Nikon video into Lightroom 5

I just noticed that I can no longer import .MOV files from my Nikon D800 into Lightroom 5. I am running on Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a Macbook Pro, LIghtroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1. I plug the camera into the USB port of my macbook pro (don't have a SD slot on my macbook pro)
When I click import in Lightroom the .MOV files don't even show up at all in the import dialog.
When I tried to import video from my iPhone 5, they showed up on the import screen and I was able to succesfully import them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The camera does show up on the import dialog box when the camera is connected.
Photographs taken just before and after the video show up in the import window, just not the videos.
The camera has both an SD card and a compact flash card. The images and video were saved to the compact flash card. To be safe I took the SD card out of the camera, the camera LCD display can still show the images and video on the camera display, but in lightroom 5 I only see the still images not the video in the import window.
Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Why won't Lightroom 4.4 import my Nikon D7000 NEF RAW files?

It's not a "wrong" error message - it's true, as far as it goes, and it's completely unrealistic to expect error messages to be fully diagnostic - they're a starting point.
Not wrong?
Let us have a look at the error message:
"The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."

I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem-.thanks

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
any one can help?

This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
Don't forget to tick the backup box.
Hope this helps. Peter

After importing an image from cs5 back into lightroom, lightroom is making the image darker

Lightroom is making my images darker after i edit them in photoshop cs5 and I dont know why. When i open the image back into photoshop it looks fine. Even when i save it as a jpeg lightroom is making the image darker. When i imported the raw image into lightroom before i edited into photoshop it looked fine. Is there a way to fix lightroom?

See screen shot:
Click on the two small triangles and under <Lightroom General Presets> select <Zeroed>. Sorry, it seems that the option <None> is not available anymore in Lr 4.3. But <Zeroed> has the same effect.
Alternatively, in the Develop Module, bottom right, just above the film strip click on <Reset>. See screen shot:

Import GPS metadata info into Lightroom

How do I import GPS metadata info into Lightroom from either my camera or from disk? I'm using lightroom 3.2. It shows up in CS5 Bridge, why not in Lightroom?
oracle 52

I downloaded the plug-in and used the metadata file preset for geo-tagging plus all the others in Adobe Lightroom 3 prior to "import" using the "Add" submenu. Only under the geo-tagging preset in Metadata did I see the "labels" of latitude, longitude, etc. However, the metadata for each of the photos for these labels were blank. Yet, when viewing these photos on Nikon VX from which the photos was imported shows the correct GPS coordinates. Why isn't this data being displayed in Lightroom as it appears from the original file on my hard drive?

How to import Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5 keeping 16bit?

I have a problem importing Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5. I have seen articles that I should change them into DNG by Phocus.
When a photo is converted into DNG file it seems that it becomes 8 bit when I open in photoshop. Since I am shooting with RAW, I'D like to keep it
in 16 bit. Am I making sense? Or I am missing some information regarding DNG and 8bit business?
Please teach me the best way.

If opening directly from LR into Photoshop check your pref settings.
Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing (Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing on Mac OSX)
The usual choice is to render a 16 bit tiff or PSD file. Make sure it’s not incorrectly set to 8 bit.

Help opening raw files in pse9 from nikon D7000.

I have a new nikon D7000, and previously used pse6. When I uploaded camera raw files I could not open to edit in pse6. I was told to get latest version of pse. I downloaded trial of pse9, did all raw upgrades but still cannot open files to edit. I was told by Nikon to check with adobe, but find this website very difficult to find my answer. I am hoping someone out there that is much smarter than me has had a similar experience and can advise me.

I think PSE6 will not be able to import/open files from Nikon D7000 as support has been added in recent ACR updates which are not available for PSE8 and below.
Please have a look at http://photoshopelementsbyadobe.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-use-raw-files-from-latest-dslr s.html as workaround

I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software?

Hello,
Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software. Read where folks are adjusting setting in LR4 for Nikon camera, but need help in how please. Also, perhaps there is a better way?
thanks,

There is now another way, dunno if you'll consider it better or not :
ISO Detailer now has infrastructure for supporting camera settings emulation.
Implemented so far (Nikon only):
* Picture Control Name (e.g. Neutral, Vivid, ... ) -> Camera Calibration Profile.
* Active D-Lighting -> Lr basic adjustments.
If you want other stuff, you'll have to come up with it yourself, by editing a table in lua text format (or supply the information for me to do it).
Reminder: Ottomanic Importer can do this emulation during import, ISO Detailer is for doing it after import.

Why I am having problems tethering my nikon d7000 to lightroom 4?

Are you serious. Fine, I have no idea what markguisadio2 exact issue is, but him stating that he has tethering issues with his D7000 to lightroom 4, sounds pretty close to my response "I have the same problem, with Lightroom 3 and 4. Lightroom never detects the camera for tethering. Works fine to detect for importing, but not once to tether."
I was merely stating that I have the same issue with my D7000, that it will not tether to lightroom.
But thankyou for your help in solving my problem
We are all users, just like yourself. We are not Adobe technical support. In order for us to give you any help that will be of value, we need your help. We need to know your OS, how much RAM, other information about your computer system, what you have tried, exactly what happens when Lightroom "won't recognize your camera" or "tethering doesn't work." It would be nice to know if there are any error messages, if you have tried adjusting settings in your camera, etc., etc. Nobody here is trying to be smart when they ask for these details. It is the way a user-to-user forum works.
