Importing .NEF files into Lightroom 4.4

Hi All,
I am running lightroom 4.4 and camera raw 7.4. I can't seem to import a .NEF file. I normally shoot Canon and have no problems with the .CR2 file. The error message I get is that "The file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (1)" When I check for updates, it says that my software is up-to-date. My guess is that I need to update camera raw but I don't if I can do that wit the version of lightroom that I have. So my questions are the following: Is there a way for me to update the camera raw version without having to upgrade from LR 4.4? Is there another way that I can get this to work?
Thanks
Wesley

NOt sure which one is troubeling you.
As soon as you convert from RAW to some other file system, things are locked, so you only have the possibility to create a preset in lightroom that fits what you're expectiong to receive.
In many cases it makes more sense to shoot in jpg and get the Picture Style right in the camera, you have many options in the D810, as a D800-user I know.
The reason I upgraded to LR5 was also the change to the new D800.
You will have a better and faster workflow in LR5 with the big files and some better possibilities than in LR4 ...
The upgrade to LR5 is not as expensive as your D810 was
Many people are selling their key for less than 50$ ... I think this is quite fair and saves you a lot of time(=money) as you will be stuck in the DNG-workaroung in future for every RAW you shoot.

How do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

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?

Fix Corrupted Nikon NEF Images

I have a new camera and cannot import RAW files into lightroom.

I have a new Sony NEX 5 and have tried importing the ARW files into lightroom. The files are recognized when I import photos from device. When I choose the .arw files to import, I receive an message "unknown errors occurred" and files won't import. I have never had a problem importing files from a card or directly from my older camera. Any suggestions?

Check here to see if your camera is supported yet.
If its a camera launched in the last month it won't be. But you can try LR 3.2 RC and see if it has been added. Otherwise you will have to wait until LR supports the format. This is a problem caused by manufacturers constantly using their own formats which require Adobe to investigate every new format before adding it to LR. In 99.99% of the cases the so called new format from the manufacturers is just a line of code with the name of the camera in it. You can use a EXIF editor tool (just google, lots of free ones) to change the name in the RAW file to one presently supported and then convert to DNG. If you do go down this road then ensure you also keep a copy of the original files just in case something has actually changed.
If you are still using LR 2.7 and the format you need was introduced with LR 3 you don't need to upgrade, you can just use Adobes standalone converter to convert the files to DNG and then import them.

How can I import RW2 files into Lightroom 4?Also why can`t I see jpgs related to the same RW2 files?

I tried ti import my RW2 camera (Lumix) raw files into Lightroom 4.4 and simply couldn`t do it. Also I had jpgs in the same folder and Lightroom didn`t bring them in at all.
What can I do? Is there any ways or settings? Does Lightroom 5 see RW2?
Thanks

What Jim said.
Either:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5 then open the RW2 files in LR5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all RW2 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4

Failing to import .NEF files into iphoto

i photo will not import .NEF files. Every time I try to import a file an error message comes up saying...
The following file could not be imported. (import failed).
The .JPEG file imports straight from the camera, however the .NEF file will not import and I get this error message.
Please help me!

Is your Nikon listed here (http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html) as a Tiger compatible camera? Also have you run this update: Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1 (Universal)
Do you Twango?

HELP - How can I import Nikon .nef files into Lightroom?

I installed Lightroom 5 on a Mac and tried importing (copy as DNG) .net files from an SD card I used with my Nikon D750 (LR 5 is supposed to support the D750). LR couldn't display a preview or import that file type so I used the latest Adobe DNG converter (version 9) to convert the .nef pics on the SD card. LR then recognized the images but STILL WOULD NOT IMPORT them. I get an error message saying the images could not be "read." I've tried 2 different SD cards. !Any suggestions? Thanks.
I even tried uninstalling Lightroom 5 and installing a trial of Lightroom CC. I tried importing .dng files that were converted from Nikon .net files with the Adobe DNG converter. I received the error message in the screen shot below.

This error message means you have to set the Destination directory to have WRITE permission.
So, determine what directory is specified in the Import dialog box on the right in the Destination section. Then go to your operating system, find this exact directory, and then change the directory to have WRITE permission.

Cant import RAF files into lightroom 5.2

I've just purchased lightroom 5 and I'm having problems importing my files. I first detected the problem with my CR2 files.
After investigating I found this person with the exact same issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5474641 I managed to fix the problem by changing the prefrence file as indicated here: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
Now I'm trying to import my RAF files (Fuji x100) and I'm getting the exact same issue.
What should I do now????

First of all, thanks for the help.
But I'm now more confused then before. I'll explain and I hope I wont confuse you in the process.
It seems that, without having changed the permissions, 5 pictures from my Fuji were able to import into the Sub-folder I want from the copys I made on my desktop. The rest didnt. I tried it again and it didnt work. I tried it yet another time except into a distinct sub folder of the same main folder. It worked. NOTE: both subfolders are on a external drive.
Then I tried to import new pictures directly from my SD card into both sub folder mentioned before. "Could not be read" message was given. So, I imported the images to my desktop with no problem but I can't move the files using LR into the subfolders on the external drive.
I'm very inclined to agree with you both that its a permission issue with the folders on the external drive. The back story is that I've had past two separte problems with my computers hard drive and RAM. Part of the fix for those issues was to creat new user accounts. The old ones have not been deleted. (dont know how)
I'm telling you this because, in the sharing and permission window, the sub folder I want all these pictures to go dosent give the same User name as the main folder or other folders within it.
Main Folder has the correct user account (Privilage set to read and write) Below is staff (which is I've changed to read and write) and below that Everyone (which I've left as read only)
Sub folder I wish pictures to go has and Old User name. Below is not staff but Fetching and privilage is set to read and write.
I hope I havent confused you too much. I cant wrap my head around the fact that 5 pics managed to enter the sub folder without it being set to the correct user.
Must be said that this sub folder is in my personal (not profesional) work, which I havent touched for a while now.
any questions??? cause I still have a tonn

Importing Nef files in lightroom

I am shooting Raw (NEF) using Nikon NX as my main editor. I have just got LR which I would like to use as my main DAM. When I tried to import my Nef files it looks like LR imports them but does not recognized any of the adjustment that I had made and save in NEF. It show the files adjusted briefly and then revert to the original aspect without the adjustments made.
Any idea ?
L

Yeah, well go talk to Nikon...see, Nikon NX is using NIKON's proprietary SDK...and nothing that is done in NX will show up in Lightroom because Adobe uses their Camera Raw pipeline...

Help in using the plugin to import Aperture Files into Lightroom?

I’m attempting to use your installer plugin to import my Aperture photos (with Aperture edits) into a Lightroom catalog. The Aperture photos are referenced files on a remote drive. When I select the “Select” Aperture Library on the plugin installer it will not let me select the files on the remote drive. The “Select” button for “Copy images to” works and lets me select a location. I do not want to move the files, but want to be able to access these file from Lightroom and from Aperture (eventually not use Aperture). Please advise me as to how to proceed… Ken Harper

Correct, I am using the Import Dialog. Menu | File | Import Photos and Video... -OR- From the Library, click on the Import button to the lower left.
The images have not been imported. I even created a brand new catalog with nothing imported - Same results.
During a normal import, the impages do show during the import process. In this case they do not.
Move does not work. The only mothod that does, is for me to try the import first and let it fail. Lightroom, does however build the directory structure / files for the days the pictures were taken, it just does nothing else. I then copy/move the files in to (as noted above) from Drive A to Drive B by myself and then use that drive as the source to do an Add.
When I use the <Copy> the only message I get is one with "Some operations were not performed." at the top. Next line down has "Could not copy a file to the requested location."
Now for the kick in the teeth.
I, to make 100% sure everything I was telling you was correct. I manually moved the from from A to B. Chose the <Add> option so that it would be in the Catalog. Verified it worked, it was in the catalog. I then went back to try the <Copy>, and it withed with both the JPGs and MOVs files. LR4 copied the files form A to B and did the Catalog import.
Go Figure.

Can't Import _MG files into Lightroom

Im running Lightroom 2 and normally import images from my MkII without problems, with the IMG file extension. I used a friends 70D and am trying to import _MG files but the files won't import. Can anyone help as I need the images from this card and need to be able to work on them. I tried importing using a custom filename sequence number but this didn't work either. Thanks!

"Mk II"? 1D Mk II? 1Ds Mk II? 5d Mk II?
Anyway, the 70D wasn't supported by Lightroom until version 5.2. Old (obsolete) versions of Lr cannot be expected to understand what to do with files from cameras five years newer than the software.
Either update Lightroom or convert the files to DNG with the Adobe DNG Converter - Lr 2 will read them.
Updating is far and away the best option, if you care about the quality of results: Lr 5 is in another league, image quality wise, to Lr 2.
