I had a Lumix GF1 and had this issue before... I had to convert all my RW2 files using Adobe DNG converter and then import them back in LR2... now LR3 work with my GF1... but with my Lumix GF2 the RW2 files are seen by LR3 but get the (159) import result that says they can't be imported
BLARG!

Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

Hi,
Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad? Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
Thanks.

Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
Click once on that & type your title.
This works for any item, video or photo.

I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files. It says it doesn't recognize the file. Help.

I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them. It says it doesn't recognize the files. How can I resolve this?

Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.

Aperture imports Lumix GF2 RAW files with strong green colour cast

I'm using Aperture 3.3.1 with Digital Camera RAW 3.14.0 built 6460000.1 and iPhoto 9.3.1
When importing RAW files from my Panasonic Lumix GF2 into Aperture, the initial thumbnails are fine (it displays those embedded in the RAW file), but when Aperture has finished its processing, thumbails and full size images are dark and green - it seems only the green channel has been taken into account.
When importing the same photos in iPhotos, they look normal, with all their colours.
If I open the iPhoto library with Aperture, the photos are fine as well.
This is the first time I import photos since updating Aperture, iPhoto and Camera RAW a few days ago - I had the previous versions from before the updates issued around the last WWDC event.
I would have assumed iPhoto and Aperture use the same Camera RAW engine so I don't understand how Aperture is "broken" but not iPhoto.
Any ideas for the resolution of this issue are welcome.
Thanks.

I applied the solution found on this this page:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3948457?start=0&tstart=0
Read the instructions carefully as there is a space to remove (introduce by the line break in the forum), then you need to reboot your Mac.
I solved my problem for new image imports. Regenerating the thumbails of already imported images didn't change anything. I gues this was because my issue was not just with the thumbails, but the whole image, without the Quick Preview feature activated.

How can I import Canon .CR2 raw files gererated by the new Canon 5D MkIII?

Just got the new Canon 5D MkIII and none of the Adobe products can recognize the raw files (called .CR2) it generates.
I'd be happy just converting them to .DNG but converters won't recognize them either.
Anyone know a solution for me?
Thanks.

New install of Lightroom CC won't import any native RAW files from supported cameras (worked in LR 5)

Import fails, won't convert to DNG on import, won't import as native RAW CR files, Canon 1D X and 5D MkIII. HELP!

Won't IMPORT any files!!! Have deinstalled and re-installed LR CC, downloaded the latest DNG converter, used that to convert my Canon 1D X files to DNG, tried to import those DNG files, error. Error reads as follows:
Import Results
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because the could not be read. (383)
Suggestions anyone? Thank you!

I used Nikon Transfer to transfer the photofiles from the CompactFlash (by card reader) to my IMac.
As DJ said, this could be your problem. If you still have the photos on the card transfer them WITHOUT using Nikon Transfer (then I would delete Nikon Transfer so I wouldn't use it again). If you don't have the originals than this may help.

Why can't i open my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 RAW files in CS3?

why can't i open my RAW files?
I have photoshop CS3 with camera raw plug-in 4.6.0.30 on MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and a Panasonic Lumix FZ45
I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
I have no available updates in photoshop so assume that I am up to date with those.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

You cannot open files directly with Lr.
You have to import them.

Aperture 3.1.2 Crashing with Lumix DMC-LX3 RW2 RAW Files

The subject pretty much sums it up: Aperture has recently starting crashing with certain files from my Lumix LX3- I am fairly sure the problem is limited to the RW2 RAW files from the Lumix, as I shoot as well with Canon 5D and 1D MkII and have not noticed any problems with these files. Also, I should not that Aperture handles the vast majority of the RW2 files with no problems (the RAW-engine update which supports these files is installed), but there are certain files that I can not open or view- Aperture will crash immediately if I click on them...
Any ideas? Is this something 'Repair Database' might help with or is there another problem.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Thanks for the quick response-
No, as far as I can tell there are no adjustments that are generally common. It seems to be completely random files, and some files which worked fine at one point no longer work. I have also tried 'Remove all Adjustments' and this doesn't seem to help. It's not a lot of files- I just find them as I work through the photos to edit, but for example out of one batch of 100 or so files there were 2 files which I can't open...
The files open fine in Adobe Camera RAW, so this seems to be an Aperture specific issue. Also Aperture has created previews for the effected files, and if I click 'Quick-View' I am able to view these previews, but Aperture can't load the RAW files.

Lightroom 4 and MBA's SD reader not seeing RW2 raw files

I've just upgraded to Lr4 from Lr3. Lr3 worked great in every respect with importing JPG+RW2 image pairs when accessing via the MBA's card reader. However, Lr4 does not see the RW2 raw files(?)
As a test, I first copied all image files from the card to a test folder on the harddrive. Lr4 saw all files fine and was able to import them into the library, so it is seemingly a problem associated with the card or the reader, or Lr4 has a problem with the card or the reader. The card is a Sandisk 16Gb "Extreme Pro" that has worked perfectly with Lr3 ever since I purchased the camera (Panasonic G3)
Has anyone experienced similar problems? ... especially with Lr4, but also in any other respect?

>Just curious -- is there some difference between the NEF files created on my Nikon D800 (which are easily imported into Lightroom) and the NEF files created on the Nikon D610 (which are not easily imported into Lightroom)
Lightroom 5 supports the D610. There is a big difference between nef from the D610 and older cameras. They were shot with a camera that Adobe hadn't profiled yet when LR 4.4 was out. Otherwise, if you hack the nef files to read that they were shot on a D600, LR 4.4 will read them, but I would caution against doing that as the sensor is slightly different on the D610 than on the D600, resulting in differences in color rendering. Simplest is as dj says to convert the nets to dng (which embeds the newer profiles in the file) or to upgrade to LR 5.

Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files support in Lightroom 4

http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/07/camera-raw-8-6-and-dng-converter-8-6-now-a vailable.html
The above says that Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files are supported in camera raw 8.6. I specifically checked before buying the camera. Everything I have ever read on the Adobe website for some 3+ years said that if a file in supported in Adobe Camera RAW, it is also supported in Lightroom. Particularly, the above URL did NOT give any warning about the FZ10000 RAW files NOT being supported in Lightroom 4. I went ahead and purchased the FZ1000, only to find I'm now having problem with Lightroom 4 not recognising the RAW files at all. I'm really annoyed, as I was so careful to check the Adobe website first. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH CAMERA RAW AND LIGHTROOM?????

I do appreciate the many RAW file formats being created by the camera manufacturers, as I have had varying cameras with the varying formats, and so am very aware of the whole business of making sure how those formats will fit into my software. And, as already stated, appreciate Adobe's efforts to deal with all those formats.
This whole exercise has been upsetting, and there has been some good advice and info provided in this discussion.
And unfortunately, some input that has been a little too technical and not particularly helpful. I feel that some of the input was a little too critical and didn't recognise that maybe some of us aren't so are highly involved and knowledgeable in Adobe products and the technicalities of how the software works, dot versioning of software, executable coding etc. because we don't need to, and shouldn't have to. I have bothered to learn Lightroom well in terms of its functionality including matters raised by you (eg making LRoom edits visible in other software, knowing that LR is not making changes to the actual files, rather they are in sidecar or xmp files etc.). I have bothered to learn a reasonable amount of computer-related info to understand things in plain English terms, such as "to have PShop and LRoom to recognise my RAW files, I need to have ACR. To have them run on my PC, they must be compatible with Windows operating system version xxx. For many people, this level of knowledge should be enough.
I have NOT said I expect Adobe to get advance copies of file formats from manufacturers; I have NOT said that I expect Adobe to support every new camera model immediately.
The technicalities of the coding and whether Lightroom "uses" the ACR plug in or not is not quite so much the issue, and I don't find the statement that "Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in" helpful. I don't think it's really right either. Lightroom - one way or the other - DOES "USE" ACR as the ability of Lightroom to recognise files is very much dependent on the version of ACR that you have. LRoom may not use the ACR plug in as PShop/Bridge in the exact same way (eg for the actual editing of files such as exposure, white balance etc.), but Lightroom DOES USE the ACR PLUG IN.... in regard to the file recognition issue.
And Yes.... I made a mistake. Somehow, despite what I thought were good efforts to research the Lumix's support in PShop CS6, Bridge, ACR and Lroom 4, I got it wrong. I will accept that it was my mistake and I'll accept my part in this, but I won't be made to feel that that it's been "totally" my fault, stupidity, whatever.
Thanks to all the people who have provided useful comment and input to my original question and subsequent responses throughout this discussion. I will indeed now consider options like the DNG converter. I was aware of the whole cloud thing, and had been thinking I would upgrade in perhaps a couple of years time (for both Pshop and LRoom) - I'll have to consider upgrading sooner rather than later.

Please tell me what I need to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files. Have downloaded all versions from 8.6 to 9. Photoshop 6 has no problems reading these files

Can anyone tell me how to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files Have downloaded 8.6, 8,7, 8.8, and 9 raw converter files and none will work.

You haven't seen the raw image data until you look at the DNG files in Lightroom. The DNG file contains precisely the same raw data that was in the NEF file. The image that you see on your camera is the JPEG preview that is built into the NEF file. And the JPEG preview is affected by all of the in camera settings. And those settings COULD include Active D-lighting, sharpening, style settings, Expeed processing, etc. And none of those settings are going to be picked up by Lightroom.
It's natural and expected that the raw image data won't appear to be as good as what you saw on the camera display. But you can make adjustments to get the images looking even better than what the camera displayed. And that is what shooting raw is all about. If you read in your manual it will indicate that shooting raw produces an image that must be processed. And that is what you do in Lightroom. If you find a set of adjustments that you make consistently to all of your images you can make those adjustments on a newly imported image and then save new camera defaults. Then those settings will be applied to all images that are imported from that point onward. And will be applied to any already imported images when you click on the reset button in the develop module.
