Imports messed up

I have been having issues the last few days where I import a Camera Raw photo into either Lightroom or Bridge and only a portion of it is visible. I have tried a new memory card with the same results. Do you think this indicates a camera problem? The attached photo was opened in Adobe Camara Raw, imported into Photoshop CS5 and then saved as a JPG.

I have tried several CF cards with the same results.
In both the photo downloader from Bridge and Lightroom, the results are the same.
Downloaded the cards to another PC with the same results.
I think the camera was bounced around too much on the back of a quad on our Oregon Dunes vacation.
Dropping it off for repairs this morning :>(  And I have a wedding shoot next weekend. Might have to use my backup by itself.

  • Catalogue Export / Import messes Folders structure

    Hi,
    I've trawled the net, searched forums and been told to go away by Adobe so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help.
    We have a network drive where we store clients photos/images. When visiting a client we'll export as catalogue onto a MacBook. Whilst at the clients we review the images and make some adjustments to crop, color or whatever or maybe just some metadata info. We then return and import the amended catalogue back into Lightroom but when doing so Lightroom adds extra Folders into LR or doesn't put the folder back where it should be like this:
    Network Drive is on Volume CPhotos which shows as a folder in Lightroom like this:
    CPhotos
    -ABC Client
    --Shoot1
    --Shoot2
    -DEF Client
    --Shoot 1
    --Shoot 2
    etc
    We export ABC Client and folders to the Macbook. When we return we import the ABC Client catalogue LR does one of these two things to the folder structure so we're left with this:
    CPhotos
    -ABC Client
    --Shoot1
    --Shoot2
    ---CPhotos
    -----Shoot 1 (if we've performed an edit at the client on these images)
    -DEF Client
    --Shoot 1
    --Shoot 2
    etc
    OR if we remove ABC Client from LR before we import we get an extra CPhotos folder added with the client placed as a subfolder like this:
    CPhotos
    CPhotos <--Extra CPhotos folder
    --ABC Client <-- ABC Client now lives under CPhotos/CPhotos
    ---Shoot1
    ---Shoot2
    -DEF Client
    --Shoot 1
    --Shoot 2
    etc
    Removing the ABC Client before the import is the best option because we just drag it back to where it should be and delete the now empty extra CPhotos folder but in the long run it's just a pain and a time waste.
    Any ideas warmly received - maybe there's something I'm missing or doing wrong?
    Thanks for reading!

    "We then return and import the amended catalogue back into Lightroom but when doing so Lightroom adds extra Folders into LR or doesn't put the folder back where it should be like this:"
    It sounds like, when you do the import from catalog, you are importing the catalogue with the images. The steps would normally be:
    1. Export from catalog, including negatives, and use this on the other machine
    2. On other machine, export as catalog, but not including the negatives
    3. On main machine, import as catalog.
    In step 3, LR is importing a catalogue into your main one, and figures out the pics aren't where they were on the other machine. It then looks around its own database for the files and matches them up.

  • IPhoto import mess

    Never had any problems with iPhoto library, and decided to upgrade to Aperture
    Got lots of weird problems with import
    - Entire Iphoto Events not imported
    - Aperture Project does not contain all photos in the iPhoto Event
    - Aperture Project created with keyphoto, Project appears to have 80 photos, but the Project is empty
    - Aperture Project created with keyphoto, but keyphoto is not in the Project
    - etc
    - etc
    all kinds of issues
    what happened?

    The iPhoto library has 384 events and 19,958 photos. I did the import about a month ago. I noticed a few things missing tonight, so I've started an Event by Event comparison with the Aperture Projects.
    After the import everything looked fine, so I've already done a lot of stuff in Aperture, and I don't think there is any going back and re-doing the import. I guess I just need to finish my comparison, and then clean-up the problems. Luckily, I did not delete the iPhoto Library...

  • Import from Word - tab space used with a Word style does not import consistently

    When I import from Word using RH 10 (but this has been the case with all versions of RH that I've used) the import messes up my tab spacing in my Note style. To clarify: The Note style in my Word document has the word Note followed by a tab space and then the content of the Note. When I import a Word doc to RH, the conversion of this tab space is inconsistent (from 4-6 spaces) - it seems to depend on the length of the note and whether it continued onto a second line in the word document. Is there any solution to this? TIA.

    Simply that plans change at this time of year.
    I got exactly the same result and at first I wondered if it was because the document had tracked changes in it. I have seen that cause problems in the past and always recommend accepting them, in a copy document if you don't want to lose the tracking.
    Accepting the changes made no difference and I would say this is a bug. Fortunately though there is a workaround that may be acceptable. Quite simply, add a full stop (period) or some other character after the number. A space will not work.
    The more people who report a bug or request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

  • Importing iMovie Events/Projects to FCP X?

    Hi I am a complete newbie to the MAC forums. Apologies in advance for the long winded post!
    Past:
    I have been a Windows / Video Studio user for many years. (Win 7, Q6600 cpu, 8gb RAM)
    I principally make DVD's of slideshows, interspersed with video and with a music background for myself, businesses and friends.
    I'm not a "Pro" by any stretch of the imagination but I've been successfully making reasonable quality output.
    Now
    I've moved to the Mac and as my profile shows I've bought a reasonable machine - iMac 27", 16gb RAM, i7 3.4gHz cpu, AMD Radeon HD 6970M (2GB) and 1TB main drive and 3TB external drives.
    I have iMovie '11 and (after reading extensive reviews) just purchased FCP X to see if I can -
    Utilize the 64bit the iMac is capable of; and
    give myself more flexibility for creativity (VS X3 had heaps of themes, transitions, titling etc)
    Questions
    I expected FCP X to import the iMovie Events and Projects hassle free (most bad reviews referred to comparisons with FCP 7 etc.) However when I import the projects -
    The iMovie MAPS feature is not supported (this is a real hassle as this was a recent welcome introduction from iMovie '09 on). Apple support suggested I export the whole project to a QT movie then import into FCP X but as I told them I bought FCP X to speed up the process, not to process a 32bit app then import to a 64bit app to do my final output. (Since then my research suggests there is a workaround to the MAPS problem if I just create the Maps in iMove and export to QT and import to FCP X - Why would Apple not just continue this feature in FCP X?
    All of my photos appear full screen in iMovie, however when I import to FCP X  some of the photos are significantly smaller i.e. appear in a black frame. Is this a media problem or is FCP X not capable of importing the project in it's iMovie form?
    All text frames (as intros to particular groups of photos) lose their formatting and the text is cropped and unreadable.
    All this from a product that is purported to "import iMovie Events and Projects". The imported mess I have suggests I'm better off starting from scratch but this means the "import iMovie events" is useless?
    Lastly, the plethora of options for output leaves me baffled to say the least. It is not helped because i am not a Pro but even iMovie is difficult to easily produce a high quality DVD for playback on a big screen TV. I try various options, SHARE>Media Browser>LARGE, or 1080p (produces 108 error in iMovie) Then import into iDVD to produce DVD menu and output to Image file prior to burning on SL or DL media.What is the best workflow to produce the best DVD output on a HD TV?
    Thanks in advance for any help as time to complete some projects is against me.
    George

    Thanks Tom.
    Do I understand correctly that to produce 90 minutes of high quality I need a Blu-ray burner? I follow that DL discs can only produce HD up to 40 minutes and to go beyond that I need a Blu-ray burner and disc.
    On advice from Apple Support, I provided feedback for a feature request when I first struck the problem. I'll research the forums more to seek out answers to my questions. I'll have to find the "spatial conform" section. In the meantime I'll finish these projects as best I can in iMovie and then start my learning curve with FCP X as I am probably biting off more than I can chew at the moment.
    Patrick and Tom, I appreciate you taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge.
    With thanks,
    George (in Tasmania Australia)

  • Follow-up: Starting, Launching and Switching ...

    Follow-up: Starting, Launching and Switching ... Messing around with the Windows UI - not a feature problem, but a provisioning problem! Now start listening and please fix it this time! 
    (Is it still program managers or people in power designing the UI for Windows? It certainly does not look like domain specialist or software engineering designing the solution here - it's just too weak for that to look like a professional solution?
    Please let educated people do their work ...)
    Problem:
    - Task Bar = (is and still is originally) Start. So keep promoting task bar and kill the new Start. Task Bar is Start.
    - Virtual Desktop lacks virtual Start (= virtual Task Bar) (Virtual Desktop only have virtual launch from the virtual documents (the virtual desktop) ... you need to add virtual start beyond virtual launch.
    - Starting universal Windows apps including touch goes to the virtual task bar (add virtualization above, i.e. context changes - for touch meaning i.e. increasing the task bar (Start) areas height)
    Cause:
    Steven Sinofsky:
    @Computermensch writes “The problem with this "analysis" (show me the data) is that you're only managing current activities surrounding the taskbar. So with respect "to evolving the taskbar" you're only developing it within its
    current operational framework while developing or evolution of it really should refer to developing the taskbars concept.” 
    0) A history reminder - where is Windows 10 now starting program: Back where Windows 7 left off.
    Well, guess I do not have to remind about what happened to Windows 8. Now we're back at it. Welcome back to testing ...
    I did some of them, testing Windows client for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and now Windows 10.
    Let's go back in time to 2008 - Engineneering Windows 7: 
    Follow-up: Starting, Launching, and Switching
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/e7/archive/2008/09/29/follow-up-starting-launching-and-switching.aspx
    Steven Sinofsky:
    @Computermensch writes “The problem with this "analysis" (show me the data) is that you're only managing current activities surrounding the taskbar. So with respect "to evolving the taskbar" you're only developing it within its
    current operational framework while developing or evolution of it really should refer to developing the taskbars concept.” 
    Then let's go forward in time - to Windows 8 coming up with a new start and launch context namely the Start Screen - and now kind of back in time again to Windows 7 and the desktop using Windows 10. So now we're also back to the Task Bar!!!! Hence we're
    back to developing and evolving the way of Starting programs.
    Microsoft just have a serious problem working the provisioning in it system, i.e. what concepts you supply (provision) to the user. For instance just compare an open instance of Windows Explorer with MacOS Finder. It's the same features - but the provisioning
    is just much better in Finder. The concepts are just an important mess in Windows - and needs serious clean up.
    No new features! Evolvle the pinning (task bar and make it work with the virtual desktop - including touch (just add some height man ...).
    And fix the freaking provisioning of concepts in the All Apps list. For instance take a look at the naming in Linux for some standard folders - instead of the bloating 3rd party names.
    1) Provisioning: Now back to Windows 10 and starting programs
    It's the task bar that needs development (Windows 8 kind-of "Start Menu" in Windows 7)  Take a look at my comment above again for engineering Windows 7 about the taskbar on evolution - now in context with Virtual Desktops:
           - May add some height to the task bar - and you can have kind-of tilesized stuff there.
           - Have the taskbar configuration of pins switch (be variable) with the virtual desktop. May add an ekstra feature to pin program across all virtual desktops.
           - Do not have 2 different places for pinning programs (really bad provisioning ...). Lets see some nice categories instead when pressing the start button. It really confusing pressing the start menu button - and
    then you see a place like the task bar to pin programs. Typical Microsoft end up scenario, the more, the merrier ...
    Please cut it down to having a pinning feature working variably in context (the task bar) with virtual desktops.
    2) Finally the All Apps list pressing the start menu button: using navigation (categories, tags or filters!!!!!) to look up and finding programs not in use on a daily or weekly basis - now in context with the virtual desktop
    The All Apps list that needs a nice feature to support categorization, really better provisioning in the UI of user or standard concepts (now come on, man - fix the mess. Just take a look at the complexity in that list ...). You could add a feature
    to filter the All Apps list in context with the concepts for the virtual desktop.
    At least provide the application infrastructure for categorization in the Start Menu. So you could process it as a third party. See what happens. Add app store later then. Whatever. Make categorization happen. No more bloat navigating for programs.
    Add a template feature to the categorization. Provide 2-3 templates with Windows and let people tag there programs. Let them extend the templates ... the concepts when doing their own user concepts.
    With a template feature a user just have to fill in the blanks i.e. tag his/her programs - and the menus will parse equally. Hey, the template feature could even parse into virtual desktops. I.e. using a dev variant of a template.
    It's going to be 2015. And compositional software design have been around for some time. Including factories for configuring software variability. Some come on now. Let's work.
    4) Conclusion
    360 degrees now on virtual desktops, task bar, all apps and workflow please! Make it happen.
    The problem with Windows 8 was not bad features - but bad provisioning including empty programs like the new wau media players ... underdeveloped features (no really good quantity of content demonstrating value = bad provisioning) ... completely lack of
    demonstrating the value of the new UI. Like if Sharepoint or any other CMS was demonstrated completely blank with no sites and empty features, no templates. Just nothing.
    Please do not miss the oppertunity to demonstrate the value of an evolved UI this time.
    Please complete the provisioning. Your greatest problem is releasing undone things - may be the intension is there (recall DB schemas). However the "DB extension" is empty on release? Which consumers just buy the DB schema :o). Add some "movies"
    (content) please ... add frameworks for content and provisioning ... use templates. If you do not understand this ... go away program manager ;o) Let a good software engineering read it.
    Now let's fully develop the virtual features in the desktop in Windows 10. And have them provisioned - so people can see how to use them. That unfortunately never happened during engineering in Windows 8.

    3 different ways and displays for pinning a program for Start!
    Please consider merging Start (on the Start), Start Screen and the task bar - with pins extending the Task Bar and using the Metro UI icons overall including on the desktop. It would be a nice move on the look and feel - while the task bar would be
    the same. Add virtualization for pins as well on the task bar. Make shortscuts and docs on the virtual desktop actual as well - binding dynamically to a virtual desktop - instead of formal and static.
    Just observed the Start Screen can be turned back on using properties on the Task Bar.
    Many ambigious concepts now for Starting programs instead of just using a Consolidated Start concept for Start Screen, Start on the Start Menu and Task bar.

  • How to update content types enheriting from the System Page Content type

    After importing a design package I found out that my content types was missing some columns. I could add the missing columns to my "page" and "Article Page" site content type. When adding the exisiting columns I could choose to update
    everything that inherits from this type:
    This is working. However I still miss 2 columns in the "Page" Content type:
    1. Rollup Image
    2. Hide physical URLs from search
    If I roll back my dev environment I can see that these are inherited from the "System Page" content type which is not editable. The columns are in the "System Page" content type but They are gone in "Page" content type that
    should inherit the columns.
    So how do I update these?
    Thanks

    Hi Alex,
    Thank you for replying. I totally agree with you regarding not to modify the OOB content types. The content types I have created/modified is also my own "new" content types.
    However the designpackage import messed up the OOB content types somehow so I'm only trying to get back to the state before the import. The only thing I see is still missing is the two previously mentioned columns in the "page" content type.
    Do you have any other suggestions in how to get back to the "OOB State"?
    Thank you
    Update: this is my page content type. It's not set to read only so it should update the last two missing columns from its parent (system page content type) right?

  • I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

    Hello everyone
    I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
    And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
    Hope you guys can help me!

    You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

  • Why is the audio messed up when I import a trimmed video from my iPhone to iMovie?

    Hi,
    well i've been having this problem and it would be great if somebody could help me with it. So I imported a clip from my iPhone 4S to my iMac in iMovie and the audio is all messed up. It's way to fast and at the end of the clip there's no sound at all. I realised that it only happens to clips that I've trimmed on my iPhone. The clips work perfectly fine on my phone but like I said when I import them to iMovie the audio doesn't work properly. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. Thanks

    Thank you for your reply. However, I was hoping to avoid manually configuring the account on Mail. I would like to know if there is a way to make my iPhone do the configuration. For example, on Mail if I go to File>Import Mailboxes... I would be able to do it, except iPhone's bluetooth does not support data sharing, therefore this method won't work. Is there another way that I can actually import the email account information from my iPhone to my Mac?
    Thank you

  • IPhoto duplicates/messed up import? Different file sizes?

    After transferring photos from our old Mac to the iMac, there are now many duplicate photos that I'd like to clear out. (My partner did the transfer, so I can't tell you the specifics of what went wrong). There are numerous events titled Original and a second event of the same photos, although there may be more photos in the second event due to created duplicates that have been modified. Comparing the two events, the photo file sizes are smaller in the original set than in the second set. Why is that? For otherwise identical photos, which should I delete?
    And is there any reason not to open iPhoto from the dock and delete duplicates?

    (My partner did the transfer, so I can't tell you the specifics of what went wrong).
    I can tell you what they did wrong - they Imported your old iPhoto library into the new one - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - it does not work, created massive duplication and an unusable mess
    You can use iPhoto and delete duplicates (do it in batches of 100 or less emptying the iPhoto trash and system trash every batch)
    The better solution is to go back and do it correctly - If the old Mac is still available and working  trash the bad iPhoto library on the new system and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Mail Udate? Import Messages?  Mail is all messed up!

    Today I logged into my Mac and tried to read my mail like I always do at 8am, and I was prompted by a screen saying similar to "Welcome to Mac Mail in Tiger, Mail needs to import your messages before you may use mail. Click Okay to continue"
    Not like I had an option, I clicked Okay, assuming Mail must have done an auto update during the night or something. I get another screen talking about the great new features of Mail. I checked my Software Update history in System Prefs and saw no new mail updates.
    Once it was done importing all my messages mail opened and downloaed my usual batch of 100 or so spam messages, which interestingly enough were dumped in my normal in box - I've got rules that usually sort these messgaes out. Further interesting was my Junk bag was missing. Like Mail no longer did Junk filtering?
    Also, I looked in my message Rules and saw the long list of rules I've put togehter to filter the junk mail was blank. No rules.
    I checked the forum here and didn't see anyone else talking about Mail updates, so figured something freaky must have happened to my computer.
    Also interesting, the program "Backup" which I installed off the Apple site last week was waiting to run - seemed in process of kicking off a backup when I tried to open mail.
    I then noticed inside my Mail folder "MessageRules.plist.backup" with a create date of yesterday, and another file "MessageRules.plist" with a create date of today. Like the program "Backup" did this.
    So I swapped the "backup" files back manually, also the file "Envelope Index" had a duplicate the same way "Envelope Index-1". So I swapped those back.
    I shut down and re-started Mail and sure enough, my Junk mail folder is back, my rules are back, everything looks fine.... EXCEPT....
    Every single message (of thousands) in my in box has an itallic line saying "The message from {Sender} concerning {Subject line} has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    What's up with that??
    I manually open my mail folders where all the messages are stored with the .emix extension and double click a few - they open right up, so the message are still there but for some reason the email index thinks they're missing?
    Can anyone shed some light on this? Any help? What a mess.
    Thanks!

    Sounds like something went afoul with Envelope Index file which is the file that keeps an index of all messages in all mailboxes.
    All Mail.app rules including the Junk Mail rules are stored in the MessageRules.plist file and sounds like something went afoul with this file also and I'm not sure why since I've never experienced the same with either.
    So I swapped the "backup" files back manually, also the
    file "Envelope Index" had a duplicate the same way "Envelope Index-1".
    So I swapped those back.
    Since it seems something went wrong with the Envelope Index file and a new file was created, I suggest the following which should take care of this problem also.
    "The message from {Sender} concerning {Subject line} has not
    been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account
    online in order to download it."
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index. Delete the Envelope Index and if still available, the Envelope Index-1 file and empty the Trash,
    Launch Mail and you will be prompted to import all mailboxes again. Select OK and allow the import process to complete. This isn't really importing anything but replacing the deleted Envelope Index file and reindexing all messages in all mailboxes.
    Test if this resolves the problem.

  • When importing the PSD into reflow it looks messed up

    I'm importing a website PSD into reflow and compared to my original PSD it looks a mess. The header image isn't showing up, text is all over place etc, any idea why?
    Also I'm new to this whole programme, once you have produced a set of responsive versions on the site what is the final outcome? Is it code to give to a developer?

  • Logic is messing up imported audio

    In Logic 8, when I try to import an audio (aif) file exported from Ableton Live, Logic slows down the audio file significantly. It also lowers its pitch.
    The track from Ableton Live was at 160bpm, and even when I set Logic's project tempo to 160bpm, the audio file plays back at less than half that tempo. I feel like I'm overlooking something really obvious, but I'm having trouble finding the solution anywhere. How do I import the audio file without Logic messing things up?
    Also, Quicktime or any other music player plays the exported audio back fine, at the proper pitch and tempo. It seems like the problem is only with Logic.

    I think Jim is on the right track--sounds like sample-rate mismatch. Try setting Logic to automatically convert the rate. Or, of course, set your Logic project to the same rate as Live.
    Does this work?

  • Photoshop cs5 messes up the order of frames in a gif after importing video frames?

    after recording a video with vlc media player, i save as mp4, then open it in photoshop cs5 with Import>Video Frames to Layers...
    The order of the frames are messed up so when played it looks jerky. I played the mp4 file and it's fine. Here is an example in gif form:
    help please??

    I Think the problem is the you dropped too many frame out and the frame you kept are being played to quickly.  Animated GIF file sizes are huge compared to video file formats and the color is much poorer then video.  However Browsers animate them automatically and the can be used in links href.
    I downloaded your gif and it looked like you started with a 1080p video.  You re-size it from 1920 wide to 400 pixels wide and to make a small animated gif file size you dropped out too many frames.  You file is still 2.3MB.   I wanted to get some idea of what could be done.  How much 1080p mp4 re-sized to 400px wide would fit into a 2.3MB mp4 file and if saved as an animated gif how big would it be and what would the quality be. Seems like only 5 seconds fits . Here is what I saw.

  • Importing from iPhone a mess

    I like to keep things easy and organized, but since Photos it's not really possible anymore. I don't want complete iCloud integration, because I have many, many images and don't want to pay for the extra storage.
    I just want to hook up my iPhone from time to time and import to Photos. When the photos are imported, I want them removed from my iPhone film roll. Then I organize the images in albums. That's it.
    What happens now is that part is already imported through iCloud (I've turned it off, but still...), the rest is imported when the iPhone is connected. I get doubles, the filters I've used on the iPhone are gone, the images are a mess (not sorted by date in the 'All Photos' album). After the import I have to manually remove the images on my iPhone that were already imported through iCloud.
    All in all not a very pleasant experience.

    Dear All, I'm just updating my last post because I have been trying everything to access the  jpegs with no luck and when connecting to iTunes today found it  "unable to verify" my iPhone.   I was suitably upset by this and looked for advice in all the usual places.  I then decided to try one last thing. I have a 4 port hub in my express card slot which the iphone was plugged into. (Simply because I just haven't enough ports)  I unplugged it from there, disonnected an external HD and plugged in the iphone. Not only could it suddenely ' recognize ' the jpeg format but iTunes was able to verify it too.  It now works although I am wary of saying problem solved because it did work before even when plugged into the expr card hub but here's hoping.  The problem I have now is finding a multi port hub that will work with external HD's and other devices !  Anyway I hope this might just help someone else?
    Best wishes bruf
