Importing Raw FIles in LR5

Hi,
So I have just started using a D4. I was trying to upload my photos, and the RAW files will not import. I was using LR3, and thought it had something to do with the version, so got LR5, and its not working. FIles could not be imported because they could not be read. I am on MAC OSX 10.5.7.
Any idea? files will import fine if they are JPG, or RAW from my D3.
Help?

As already stated, the minimum OS specs for LR 5 on a Mac is 10.7 which your 10.5.7 version is less than so I wouldn't expect LR to function properly:  I would also expect it to fail to install, so that is one mystery, how did a under-speced OS allow LR 5 to reside on it?

However, if LR 5 is running, somehow, then is it possible to run a program with administrator (or elevated) permissions?  If so, try that, and see if LR has write-access to the folder.

  • Importing RAW files from Nikon D810 error

    I have tried importing RAW files from my Nikon D810 into LR5 but get an error message that the files are not recognized.
    Raw files from my D800 are imported OK.
    What's the reason for this and what can I do?
    I'm a professional wedding photographer and need to start processing these images ASAP
    I thank anyone for their help!

    Some D810 users on dpreview are finding problems with the "Camera..." profiles in the release version of LR 5.6.  They report some posterisation.  See http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54122110.  I don't have a D810 - only a humble D800 - and I've found no problems with that on LR 5.6, so can't confirm whether there's an issue with the new D810 profiles or not.
    Edit: I've just downloaded a D810 NEF someone posted on that dpreview thread, and in LR 5.6 most of the "Camera..." profiles produce some posterisation, although Adobe Standard is fine.
    If any Adobe staffers are lurking here, they might want to take a look at that thread and see if they can reproduce the issue (or confirm it isn't an issue).

  • Lightroom 5 importing raw files

    I cannot import raw files from my Nikon D7100.  There is a plug-in to allow this but I cannot find where it is to install it.  Can anyone help?  My version of LR5 is up-to-date.  I am using a Mac OS 10.8 and installed LR5 from a download from Adobe yesterday.  I can imprt raw files from my Nikon D80 but not the D7100.  The files are all on my hard drive.

    No plug-in is needed to import RAW files from a Nikon D7100 to LR5.
    However, if you have used certain versions of Nikon software to move the photos from the camera to a hard disk, then this may be interfering, and causing LR to not recognize the photos. The solution is to import directly from the camera card to Lightroom (if the photos are still on the camera card), or if not try http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html

  • Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?

    Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?
    I can import the Raw file successfully but cannot see any edits that were applied in Capture One. Im assuming no but just checking.

    Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own proprietary processes and profiles for rendering the raw data.
    They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and store the changes to an .xmp file or to a catalog file like Lightroom.

  • I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

    I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

    Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
    If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
    But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

  • Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

    For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
    "Unreadable Files
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
    Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

    I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
    Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
    Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
    It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
    'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
    The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
    My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

  • PSE11: How to import Raw files from Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera? [was: Dear Sir,]

    I have just purchased a Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera. I have Photoshop Elements 11 and I cannot import Raw files. How do I download the latest version of Camera Raw into Elements 11?
    T.W. Gasby

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    With Elements 11 you cannot.
    The SX60 HS was first supported in  Camera Raw 8.7 which is only compatible with Elements 13 and later.
    Options:
    Pay to upgrade to Elements 13
    Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all SX60 HS Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Elements 11

  • When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

    When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

    You know what - I'm sorry
    I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
    Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
    Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
    I am officially embarrassed

  • Import "RAW files only" also imports JPEGS (+ steps to reproduce)

    I filed this bug report to Apple:
    Summary:
    When importing "RAW files only" the accompanying JPEGs are also imported when the files are stacked (cmd-K) in the import screen.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a new library
    2. Insert a card from a camera (checked with Canon G9, Lumix DMC-LX3) which holds RAW files and their accompanying JPEG files (same filename, different extension)
    3. Cmd-I to import, if the import screen does not open by itself.
    4. Make sure "RAW files only" is selected
    5. Select "Uncheck All"
    6. Select a few RAW files (for example 4) (click first, shift-click last, click checkbox, all 4 are selected at once)
    7. Cmd-K to put them in a stack.
    Above the "Import Checked" button the number of files to be imported is shown, 4 in this case.
    8. Click "Import Checked"
    Wherever the images are imported, not only the 4 RAW files will be imported, but also the accompanying JPEG files. This is also the case when only JPEGs are requested, in that case the RAW files will be imported as well.
    Is is essential that the images to be imported are stacked in the import screen. If this is omitted, only the requested files (either RAW of JPEG) are imported (4 in this example).

    Hi again
    Sorry the delay in getting back to my post but I've been a tad busy.
    Well, after a bit of testing I can confirm that the problem does seem to be an issue with Vista (32bit and 34 bit) as Jeff states.
    I tried importing the raw files into Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit and whilst all operating systems allowed the import of JPEG files, I was only able to import the raw files into XP.
    I havent got a card reader so am unable to test this at the moment.

  • Aperture 3.1.3 Very slow importing raw files

    Aperture 3.1.3 Very slow importing raw files please help
    Pro Photographer. I have a Mac Pro Quad core 1 yr old with 12GB Ram. I import via 2 Firewire 800 card readers - A Lexar & a UDMR Reader.Only using them singly. System has 4 1TB hard drives 1. Applications, 2. Aperture Library, 3. Aperture Vault, 4 Time Machine
    On a photo shoot, first CF card may download and complete in less than a minute but the next card with a similar number of images may take 10 minutes.
    Sometimes if I swap card readers, this can speed up download but then everything slowly grinds to a halt.
    I have closed down all other programmes, switched off Faces and Enable Gestures - switched off  Look up places.
    Situation driving me nuts as we shoot and view images with customers immediately after the session and download time effecting the amount of time we have to do this. Nothing seems logical as such a high spec machine should theoretically fly through this.

    Have you upgraded your OS ans all your Apps to the latest Versions and also rebooted the system?
    Turn on the Activity Viewer (Windows ->Show Activity) while importing, to see how Aperture is spending its time.
    Also launch some tools from the Application -> Utilities folder:
    launch the Console window, to check for diagnostics /error messages
    launch the Activity Viewer, to see how much RAM and CPU time Aperture and other processes are using.
    How much space is free on your system drive? And on the drive you are importing to?
    If you find in the Activity Viewer, that Aperture is slow, but de facto using not much CPU time, then the problem may be a corrupted Aperture Library or corrupted preference files.
    Try to import into a new, empty Aperture library and see if the problem persists.
    If you have no problems with a new Library, try the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    Start with repairing permissions and repairing the library.
    If none of the measures outlined there, or you need further help, please report back.

  • Trying to import RAW files but receiving "some import operation were not performed" error message.

    Trying to import RAW files (from Canon 5D Mark III) but I'm receiving the following error message "some import operations were not performed". I am trying to copy to my Seagate backup drive, however the only destination it will let me copy to is my Lexar flash drive (where I don't want to store them!).  I've checked all the file permissions--everything says "read and write". Not sure where to start   I recently switched to an iMac where the problems started (never any issues importing into Lightroom on my PC--just slowness). Please help! 

    NIKON D3300
    The Nikon D3300 Raw format is not yet supported in Lightroom 5 (currently 5.3).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Raw file formats are proprietary to each camera manufacturer and specific to each camera model. Adobe's Camera Raw engine (used by both Adobe Camera Raw - as a plugin to Photoshop - and Lightroom) must be constantly updated with every new camera make and model which arrives on the market in order to read and edit Raw files from that camera.
    Adobe has added support for the D3300 to Camera Raw 8.4 which is about to be released. It is a Release Candidate (RC status) at the moment. So D3300 Raw support will probably be added to the next soon-to-be-released Lightroom update (5.4).
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4-cc/?tabID=details#tabTop
    In the meantime, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-4.html
    Using the DNG converter, you can then convert the D3300 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in Lightroom 5.3.
    Once Lightroom 5.4 is released (assuming it also has D3300 support) the DNG conversion will no longer be required.

  • Problems importing raw files into Lightroom 3.4

    I've just dowloaded lightroom 3.4 and now I'm having problems importing raw files into lightroom.  I havent had a problem before.  Can anyone help me?  My camera is a Nikon D7000.

    Perhaps a few more details are required. Take a look at the FAQ "How to get help quickly"

  • Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

    I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

    The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months.  If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months.  If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
    The other concern is whether your OS is new enough.  I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
    The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying.  Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then.  This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
    The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

  • Lightroom 5.6 won't import raw files from Nikon D750

  • Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

    iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.
    SFR
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
    I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
    I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
    I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.
