Issues importing RAW files

I want to store images on my IPAD when travelling. I have a 64GB Ipad with Iphoto and the basic PS loaded. I have to download direct from the camera, whisch is a pain, and then store and group into files from there. However, I attempted this today and a red exclamation mark pops up on the images when I select 'import all'.
I shoot with a 7d, creating 20MB + files each shot. I can create several hundred shots over the day I wish to  back up.
Any suggestions ?

The iPad is probably not a good solution for this.  You can't use the full 64 gb of storage on the iPad, because the iPad needs several GB for the Operating Sytems and for temporary files to translate the RAW image files.  This will prevent you from using it like a backup hard drive.

    Hi Kenneth L,
    Please use the below link to convert your raw files to DNG files then you would be able to import the files in Lightroom 4.4

  • I'm having issues importing raw files into LR 2.6.

    Hi All.
    So here's the issue. I have about 1300 images that I'd like to import into LR from my USB Exteral Hard Drive. In the past, I had no issues. but with this one, it seems that I'm limited. I tired to import all 1300 and nothing would happen when i hit import. So then I started to import half of that and it worked.. So I backed out and added in about 10 more.. worked fine, backed out and imported 10 more and it wouldn't work.
    I have enough HD space, at least 30Gbs free. The folder size of the images is 11gbs. Is there a setting that limits the amount that I can upload?
    Thanks soo much!

    Thanks Hal for getting back to me..
    Yes, that's what I did..
    So I tried two things.. a different set of about 2k images.. raw files.. and it wouldn't work. So that ruled out a corrupt file in my current set.
    I went back to the current batch where I was able to import file 1-1060 with no issues. I then chose files 1061-1300 and that worked fine. So that ruled out a corrupt file from 1-1300.
    Is is possible to do Two separate import jobs so that i will be able to see all of them when I go to post process? I have never had to do two sep import jobs before so not sure if this is an option.
    Thank you very much

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Iphoto 8 after update won't import RAW files

    I'm running iphoto 8 version 7.1.3 and just updated the software from Apple's auto update (Jun 30th is when the update installed). Now I can't import RAW files from my canon 30D, from a memory card or from existing files. Every time I try iphoto freezes and I have to reboot the computer. Add to that, iphoto has now "lost" most of the pictures - ie it doesn't show them in the events or photos areas. I have managed to find the photos in the library, but when I try to import them back into iphoto, if there are any RAW files in the folders, I get the same problem as before - iphoto freezing, and having to restart the computer.
    has anyone else experienced this problem? Or have any suggestions for solutions?
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you shooting RAW + jpeg or just RAW. If it the former another user found out that shooting the combination of formats was not supported by iPhoto but shooting just the RAW was.
    For the missing file issue try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

    Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
    Error message that it does not support cr. file

    Which version of Lightroom?
    As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
    Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar... 

  • Version 3.4.1 : unable to import RAW files

    I've installed the new version 3.4.1. (on a Windows 7 system, 64 bits)
    Now, it's unable for me to import new RAW files. I've found the same issue with RAW files from a D300 NIKON and from a G10 CANON.
    Thank you for your answer.

    Solved after a rename of the files. Apparently, LR was considering that these files were already in the catalog (but it was not the case !).
    I don't understand, but for me, I consider that this issue is solved.
    Best regards,
    André.

  • Big problem, cant import RAW files.

    Ok so I have a Canon 20D, and Ive been shooting all my photos in RAW format, and was hoping that LR can read it. On my homePC I have a card reader, so it sees the files as RAW, and .jpg and Ive got no problems. But when I try doing this on my laptop which has no card reader, every program including LR only import .jpeg files. The RAW files are nowhere to be seen. Is this something I can fix? is the camera at fault? Will it be possible to import RAW files only if I get a card reader for my laptop?
    All help is greatly appreciated.

    Are you connecting the camera directly to your laptop? I believe there is an issue with Canon cameras and Lr. Check Adobe's documentation.
    Also are you using Canon software to download from the camera?

  • 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 refuses to import RAW files.

    Hello,
    I have Lightroom version 1.4.1 (just downloaded the update), and cannot upload RAW files from my Canon 20D or 5D. What happens is that Lightroom will either:
    (1) Upload just 12-15 files, then freeze up. The light on my camera stops glowing red and it says "busy" on the camera LCD display. After waiting 30 minutes I get the spinning rainbow ball on the screen. When I try a "Force Quit" Lightroom does not respond at all.
    -or-
    (2) Nothing at all happens! No images are uploaded, Lightroom freezes up and the camera does nothing.
    My setup is an Intel PowerMac with 8 gigs of memory, 3 1TB drives, and an Nvidia GFX 8800 graphics card. I am using OSX 10.5.4.
    I tried deleting the plist file at least 3-4 times, tried different cards in either of the cameras, and I always get the same results.
    Help!

    David
    Finally I found someone with the same problem I've been experiencing in the last 3 months.
    This problem actually started after on LR 1.4.1 but
    after I upgraded to LR 2.0, it now freezes half way on import just like you described, it actually take the OS hostage and not even force quit works, I have to force the system to shut down by pressing the power button.
    Then I tried to see if I could import with Bridge and I ran into the same problem and had to take the same action.
    I have switched cards, card readers and USB ports (used the front and back ports) but nothing seem to work.
    But when I use Image Capture to import raw files, it works fine, no problems there.
    I also upgraded the PS3/Bridge Camera Raw to the most recent version to be compatible with the LR 2.0 version.
    I also have the 20D and 5D but I use card readers instead of plugging the camera directly into the computer.
    It seems the problem is the way Leopard reads XMP data, that's something I found on a forum somewhere and it looks like Apple has not addressed this issue yet.
    I'm running Leopard on a 2.8 Gig / 8 core and 4GIGs of ram.
    For now, my solution to this problem is to import raw files from the card reader using Image Capture and down load them into my LR library.
    That's my 2 cents

  • 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
