Issues with importing photos as "Add" or "Copy."

I can no longer import images as "Add" or "Copy." Can only do it as DNG---used to have no issues, but some setting has changed. Tech support could not resolve this issue. Can anyone help me with this?

If I were to delete LR from my computer, and then reinstall 5.5, would I lose the pics currently in my LR catalog?
I cannot think of how uninstalling/reinstalling might help, and it seems to me that it is a waste of time right now.
Your photos are not stored in Lightroom.
You lose nothing by uninstalling/reinstalling, other than your own time.

Issues with importing photos in an image sequence!

Hi all,
Just at work and we're doing a rather large Time Lapse photography project which I and another colleague are editing within Adobe Premiere. After gathering a large selection of images we decided it was time to have a go at doing a first edit. Opened Premiere and made a new project etc. and have made a couple of practice runs with different pictures but I opened the pictures (File/Import) and then tried to import all of the pictures but I can't tick "Image Sequence", which is greyed out. Does anyone know why? I assumed it was due to the fact that it was importing them off an external drive but I put them on the MacBook just to make sure but it still wouldn't import them. I then tried to import less pictures at a time still to no avail.
Being flat out of ideas just thought I would ask what I would consider experts with more knowledge than myself for a hand! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, with this being a work project I am eager to get started as soon as possible!

might be the filename convention stuff... like if you have filenames that have a lot of weird characters and no easily discernable " number" sequence it might not be recognizing them as a potential sequence. I'm on a pc and use a program called " renamer "... which I got for free I think.. off internet.. and it works great for renaming stuff in a folder...
what I do is put a group of files in a specific folder ( like maybe a temp directory I make just for the purpose of renaming files ).. and use renamer on that stuff...
It's a little tricky so experiment with one file so you know it is working the way you expect... ( adding rules and using wildcards and so on ). If you post a sample of one of your filenames in the sequence someone may be able to tell you definitively what is up ...
good luck
edit.. an afterthought.. post 2 filenames that you think are sequential... and that way we can see how it is progressing re: numbers, dates, whatever.... and also someone could test it ( like I could create 2 files in ps using those names and see if it works to import as sequence.. and also see what renamer rules would work to fix it if it needs fixing ) ???

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

JDev 10.1.3.3 - issues with imported Business Components

Hi,
I have got some issues with importing Business Components in JDev 10.1.3.3.
I cannot discover/use the imported components.
What I did is the folowing:
1. In a existing project I extended the default base-classes to create our own layer
2. created a project called ModelShared
2a. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
2b. created an entitybased-viewobject (RefCodesByDomain)
2c. created bc deployment-descriptors
3. created a project called RelatieModel in the same workspace as ModelShared
3a. added dependencies to the deployment-descriptors as well as the project created in step 2
3b. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
3c. imported business components
Although I did not recieve any errors during the import of business components, I am unable to add the vo (RefCodesByDomain) to a service.
I do see the package which contains the vo but is has no entries.
Importing the business components to a new BC Project in a seperate workspace did succeed (I could reuse the vo).
I tested a little further and the folowing occurred:
4. I created a new vo in the ModelShared Project
5. I deployed the ModelShared
6. Restarted JDeveloper
7. Got the folowing error message in the console window when expanding a service in my datacontrol pallette:

8. In my other "fresh" bc project I was able to use the newly created vo.
9. When I added a VO to my shared project, all projects that are refering to the shared project loose their vo's in the data-controlpannel
Do you have any suggestions?

Romano

A strange issue with importing avi video

I have a rather strange issue with importing avi files (which playback normally in other programs) into CS4. When I import an avi recorded from my camera into CS 4 in the preview the sound is played back normally, but the video itself is weird. Pretty much roughly first 5% of it are stretched over the whole spand and slowed down to fit. So the video of 4 minutes will play sound normally for 4 minutes, but replay only 10 seconds of video VERY slowly. I'm a bit puzzled because I've used the same camera with CS3 and never encountered this problem. breaking apart and speeding up the video obviously didn't work because the video only displays the first 5 recorded seconds no matter the speed, tweaking with presets didn't work either.

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

Issue with Import/Add function

I have been having an issue with a difference between the position of files in Finder & the position in whcih they are shown LR 5.
In Finder the folder view will be
Neils Photos
   021 2013 01July - 31 Dec
      131123 HMAS Adelaide
         131123LOC001 (this is the image file)
In LR 5 the folder view will appear as
Neils Photos
021 2013 01July - 31 Dec
     131123 HMAS Adelaide
131123 HMAS Adelaide
        131123LOC001 (this is the image file)
If I try to move the image to the correct folder in LR it will not allow it saying that the image already exists in that folder.
When I RMC & selected "show in parent folder" I received the following message.
An Internal Error Has Occurred
Database “/Users/neilvincent/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat”: columns rootFolder, pathFromRoot are not unique Statement: UPDATE AgLibraryFolder SET rootFolder=?Where id_local=?;
At first I thought this issue was being created by a plug-in but it is happening any time I "Import/Add" an image to LR.
If I download from a camera, card or remote hard drive using Copy as DNG, copy, or move the image is shown correctly in LR. If I use Add to import an image or if I use a plug-in to create a HDR or panorama & save back to LR I have an issue. In the case of the plug-in the program is creating the image saving to to a location then Adding the file to LR. LR creates a new folder of the same name as the original folder but higher in the folder tree structure, it then shows the Added image in this folder rather than the folder it really is in.
In the panels on the RHS the only box ticked is "Don't import suspected duplicates" but I don't see this panel when using a plug-in.
The work around is to put the file into another folder & then move & import into LR.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi Tilak,
The variables do behave differently in Integrated Planning applications.
You have to pass the variable values exclusively in work book designer or web application designer for your cmod to work.
Please refer the following document for more info.

Issues with Import in Lightroom4

I am using lightroom 4 on a 2008 Mac Pro running the latest verison of MAC OSX.
My lightroom 3 catalog wasa upgraded successfully with no issues
Now when i try to import photos from my Canon 5D camera (The original 5D) it keeps saying that there are no files to import.
I tried unchecking the Dont Import Suspected duplicates and still it did not help.
I formatted my complete CF card in camera, took a couple of new pictures and still the same issue.
When this happens after i say ok, the option to import is greayed out completely and I have to restart Lightroom for it to work again or try the import again.
I also have a secondary problem - When i connect my camera LR3 used to prompt me to import the photos automatically. LR4 is not doing it.
I went to image capture and made LR4 the default app to open when i connect the camera and LR4 opens promptly, but doesnt bring up the import screen.

Hi All,
First, I apologize for the troubles folks have been having with customer service. To be clear, this is a bug, and we're working on fixing it. Since it's a bug, the best that customer service will be able to do is offer you a workaround. Two known workarounds are:
1. Copy the photos from the camera to your hard drive, and then import from the hard drive.
2. Import using a card reader, rather than connecting the camera directly.
These are methods that you can use until we have provided an actual fix for the issue.
Second, I had suggested that changing your camera's connection method (assuming your camera offers such an option) might make a difference. But in fact, I think I was wrong about that, and it won't make any difference either way. If anyone on this thread is willing to do a little testing for me, however, I do have something else I'd like you to try.
In my tests, the import from the camera only failed if the camera had been set to shoot raw+jpeg. So, try the following:
1. Format the memory card in the camera (after having copied the pictures off of it, of course).
2. Set your camera to shoot only raw (NOT raw+jpeg).
3. Take one photo.
4. Connect the camera to your computer, and attempt to import into Lightroom from the camera.
Does it work? If it does, then try switching it back:
1. Format the memory card in your camera (after having copied the pictures off of it).
2. Set your camera to shoot raw+jpeg.
3. Take one photo.
4. Connect the camera to your computer and attempt to import into Lightroom from the camera.
Does it fail again? If so, then your findings will corroborate my findings, and that will be very helpful for us in tracking down this issue.
Lastly, for folks who are experiencing problems importing from a connected iPad, I would caution you that it is entirely possible that that is a completely separate problem, and it might be a good idea to start a separate thread for that issue.
Thanks,
Ben

PSE 11 and PS CC issues with import/open and saving

Good afternoon,
I have had PSE 11 for several months but have hardly touched it due to two problems. When I try to import images into the organizer, if I choose any location other than the default that opens, the whole program freezes and I have to force quit to get out of it. I have been able to open files by going to File - get photos and videos - by searching....When I can get them, they load at snail speed. I've done a few projects and when I go to save, I have the same issue. This has caused me to loose several projects as again, the whole program freezes and I have to force quit.
I just signed up for the photographer's black Friday deal and downloaded PS. I am having the same issue. If I go to open a file in PS and choose anywhere other than the default location, the box closes immediately and I can't get anything to open. Thankfully, the program doesn't freeze up like PSE 11, but this is so frustrating. I have Lightroom and have issues there too. What is going on!
Thanks

I am having a similar issue with photoshop CC. I am on a mac and just upgraded to maverick (
OS X 10.9 (13A603)) and since the update any time I want to open or place a file it closes the window.
Something worse happened on windows 8.1 when I upgraded that OS Illustrator and photoshop just crashed once it was open. I had to uninstall and reinstall both applications and it worked.
I tried the same thing on the mac and uninstalled photoshop, then reinstalled it but I that did not resolve the issue. I have a video of what it is doing. The two workarounds I found was to drag the images into photoshop or create a new file then go to file open which you will see in the video.
If there is a fix for this please let me know, it is very frustrating!

Help with importing photos from camera if some pics were imported earlier

I am trying to import photos from my digital camera into iphoto and there are some old photos on my camera already. When the prompt screen tells me that there is a repeat photo, I clicked on do not import it for all such photos option. After that the screen tells me that the photos are being imported, but nothing happens. I am very furstrated, is there anything I can do? I have iphoto 6 version. Thanks!

I believe with iPhoto 6 if you upload the photos to a folder first and then import that folder into iPhoto 6 you will be given the opportunity to exclude duplicates. The import has to be from the Finder and not directly from the camera. You can test that by importing a single photo that is already in the library from the Desktop. If I'm wrong this post will self destruct 10 seconds after and all here will disavow any knowledge of me.
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.

Has anyone with OS X 10.7.5 had issues with corrupt photos?

We are suddenly experiencing an issue with our iMac where photos we have taken recently are now coming up with the image below. They appear fine at first in the finder view but as soon as we open them they turn into the below and then others in the same folder do the same. We copied the files to another computer and it opens the same. Apple Support is having me do an OS reeinstall, but I want to know if others are having the same issue.

Problem with imported photos color/exposure

Hello group,
Have been working on a video of our vacation and am having a strange problem importing photos. When I import the photo, it looks as it should. When I add the ken burns effect, once it renders the color seems washed out and the exposure looks lighter. If I import them without the KB effect they are fine. I am using three sets of photos from three different digital cameras, all doing the same thing. This is using the Aperture library. Any ideas? It almost is acting like I have some sort of global adjustment set, but I can't find any such thing. I have been using the edit pane/Video FX/Adjust colors/brightness and adjusting them back with that, but this is way too time consuming. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Oh I forgot to add, when I click on the photo settings in the timeline and it shows the preview pane, it looks correct then as well. I have also tried hitting the full screen play button and they show faded in that mode as well. Hope this makes sense!
Thanks,
John

hey there Bastropguy,
i know this may sound wacky, but have you actually burned any of your projects to DVD & watched them on a TV from a set-top DVD player? many times what looks wrong or poor on your Mac looks fine once you burn to disc in iDVD. KB effect is a bit of a hog, using a lot of processing power to do its job so that's possibly the reason for the images looking poor on your Mac. p suggest you finish this project as a half & half for comparison & see how the images you've tweaked look vs. the untweaked.
good luck.

FDM: Issues with importing mapping using excel files

Hi All,
I am trying to map ICP Entries using an excel file.
I have made 2 mapping (explicit) entries, manually and exported it in Excel and then added all the Mappings in the same file, in proper format. when I am importing, I am not getting any error but the mapping is not getting updated and the new entries are also not getting added. so Ideally no Change in the tDatamap table.
Environment details: FDM Version 11.1.1.3 is getting used. Target App is Essbase 11.1.1.3. able to connect to Essbase, no issues with connectivity.
Has anyone face this issue.

The section of the admin guide I reference will tell you how to create a properly formatted excel workbook. Import XLS will work if the excel workbook is set up properly. The import XLS functionality will not change existing records, only add new ones.
Your template requires that the first cell is the table name. The second row is the table field names and rows 3 through X are the values to be inserted into the table. The named range beginning with UPS needs to highlight all of these rows and columns.
Quite honestly, if you take the time to review the admin guide, I'm sure you'll find the answer that you need. Please understand that, like you, most of us that post on this board are consultants. We share knowledge to help the community better utilize the product. It's frustrating to hear that none of the answers that I previously provided you were at all helpful.
