  • Lightroom and Raw Files from 60D

    So i was looking around the web for answers to why my lightroom isnt recongnizing my raw files from my new 60D. I am currently using Lightroom 3.6 . I saw answers saying that i needed to install updates because if i remember correctly its lightroom 3.2 that the 60D came into play, anyway, i tried to update my lightroom but it says that there are no updates available. So any idea why my its not recognizing the files if i am up to date?

    The files may be corrupted or truncated.  Look at their sizes in Windows Explorer - Details View and see if they are smaller than normal.  If you are able to see thumbnails in Windows Explorer then that must means the camera-embedded JPG preview is intact, but not that the raw data is all there.
    Try opening the files in Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) that came with your 60D and see if you can save a JPG from them.  Seeing thumbnails in DPP is not enough to confirm corruption.  You have to do something that actually interprets the raw data, like saving a JPG.
    Determining why they are corrupted is important.  If they are still on the memory card then retransfer them.   If they are corrupted on the car then the camera or card has a problem.  If they were ok on the card, then maybe the camera or computer or cable or reader has a problem.

  • "edit in" function in lightroom copies raw file to same location. is there a way to change location?

    As far as I can tell, the "edit in" photoshop function in LightRoom copies a RAW file in the same location, I end up with two of the same image in my library, is there a way to specify where lightroom saves the file?

    You should ask in Photoshop Lightroom

  • Lightroom 4 raw files Nikon D600

    received lightroom 4 with my Nikon D600 & can't import raw files.  It says it does not recognize the files & also can't view the thumbnails.  using a card reader

    That camera requires at least Lightroom 4.3.  If you have only installed from the disk that came with your camera you need to update your version.  The last version you can update to is version 4.6, and that will support your camera as well.

  • Will Elements and Lightroom open RAW files fro the Sony DSCRX-100 camera?

    I have the RX100 and confess to be an Adobe fan.   You did not say which Lightroom or which elements you want to use.  You need the latest versions.
    Photoshop Elements 11 comes with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) version 7.0 in place when you install it.  Under the help menu, there is a choice to check for updates.  If you do, ACR 7.2 installs.  The RX100 is included in 7.2.  Previous versions of Photoshop Elements will not udate to 7.2.  When you open a RAW photo, a screen pops up that lets you adjust, convert and save to something Photoshop Elements can handle. 
    You have to have Lightroom 4.2 to get RX100 usefulness.  Lightroom uses, but hides, the ACR engine.  Instead the slider controls are built in the user interface.  When you buy it, it installs as 4.0.  The help menu also has an update choice so that you can get to 4.2 from 4.0.
    You didn't ask, but Premier Elements 11 is a good choice for video because it is he first version that "officially" supports the high quality 1080p60 or "PS" setting in the RX100. 
    On T day, I shot RAW photos of my granddaughters dancing to a Wii game in terrible light.  Yesterday I "adjusted" the batch of RAW shots taken with the RX100 in Lightroom and saved them as .jpg files.  Today, I wll make a video in Premier Elements from those .jpg images, put in some pan and zoom effects, add a sound track and put it on Vimeo. 
    My view is that an RX100 owner needs PSE 11, PrE 11 and Lightroom 4 to take advantage of the camera's capabilties.  Setting it on "fine" .jpg and uploading snapshots to Flicker leaves an awful lot on the table!

  • Lightroom corrupting RAW files? Hardware issue?

    I've started having some issues with RAW files being corrupted when I open them in Lightroom. I've done a lot to troubleshoot and narrow down the symptoms, and here is what I can tell you. If anyone has any ideas for how to solve this, I'd really appreciate it!
    Equipment
    Canon 7D, 1 32GB CF card, 1 4GB CF card
    Lenovo Laptop, Win 8; Lightroom 4
    Dell PC, Win7, Lightroom 5
    Here's what the corruption looks like in my Library view. Note that all of the photos are the same. I just rapid-fired a bunch of shots down the hallway to test this out.
    I first noticed the corruption on the PC, pulling photos from the 32GB card. I bought a new hard drive (SSD hybrid), installed a clean version of Windows 7, and upgraded to Lightroom 5, then the 5.3 update. I re-downloaded some photos from the 32GB card, and they still show up corrupted. So here is my further testing:
    I shot a series of photos like shown above on the 32GB card, downloaded them on the laptop with a new USB cable. The photos look good.
    I shot a series of photos on the 4GB card, downloaded them to the laptop with the same cord, they look good.
    I imported the same photos photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC with my existing Lighrtoom Catalog and they are corrupted.
    I created a new Lightroom Catalog on the PC and downloaded the same photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC and they are corrupted.
    So what gives? I think we can rule out corruption or issues on the hard drive, the OS, the USB cable, and both of the CF cards. It baffles me that a new HD, clean OS install, new catalog, new USB cable, and upgraded Lightroom haven't solved the problem. Is it possible that there is some other part of the hardware on my PC which is corrupting the files?
    I'd love some insight if folks have any ideas!
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Was this ever figured out AdamCohn?  I have a very similar issue.  I have actually watched two photos over the last two days become corrupt while viewing them in Lightroom.  I am not suggesting LR is the cause (as I know this is almost always hardware related) but it has happened right in front of my eyes while LR is interacting with the images (I believe).
    Scenario:
    Images were
    * Imported into LR on different days (about a week apart)
    * Imported to different hard drives during import (one an SSD, another to a typical HDD)
    * Behaving normally in LR until corruption (i.e. previews were built without issue, was able to develop and export images. Showed fine in Finder).
    After viewing the images in Loupe view and watching them flip instantly to a visual mis-mash similar to what you showed the images were permanently screwed.  The appear the same way in Finder and in Photoshop
    I have not noticed any other issues in any other app or area of the system.  Everying seems to be running smoothly.
    Troubleshooting:
    * Memory tests:
      - Built-in Apple memory test (normal + extended).
      - MemTest (as described here: MemTest for Mac OS X Tests your RAM). Ran it twice, all tests passed.
    * I am running some HDD checks now, but with the two images being on two different drives I suspect the likelihood of this being a drive issue is extremely small.
    Suggestions?

  • Lightroom for RAW files only?

    Thinking about trying Lightroom.  Is it used mostly with RAW files or can it be used with JPEG and others?

    Lightroom can be used with JPEG, TIF and PSD images as well as raw files. I suppose the reason there is always so much discussion about raw files is that it is a very powerful raw converter as well. Those who choose to shoot raw images quickly discover the advantages of doing so. But shooting raw also introduces several other considerations such as whether or not Lightroom will support the camera files. And that is not an issue when shooting JPEG or TIF images.

  • Lightroom 3 Raw Files not Importing

    I have a Nikon d3200 and I am using Lightroom 3. My raw files are not importing. Do I need some sort of plugin? Im not sure where to find the plugin on Adobes site...ugh!!! #frustrated

    You would need the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 7.1 or later) to convert your D3200 raw photos to DNG.  The DNGs will import into Lightroom.

  • Does Lightroom support RAW files from the Sony RX-100M2?

    I use LR 4.4 with my Sony A-77 and Sony A-100.  I just purchased a Sony RX-100M2.  My current version of LR (LR 4.4) doesn't recognize the RAW files from my new RX-100M2.  Will I have to upgrade to LR version 5?  Will that even help?
    Thanks.

    Support appears to be preliminary:  There is no RX100M2 Adobe Profile and the camera is not listed as being supported, so while it is true that you can open the M2 files in LR5, the colors appear slightly off and dimmer than for the RX100(M1).  I suspect Adobe may have given preliminary support by using the RX100(M1) profile for the RX100M2 but hopefully the support improves with the next version of LR5 comes out, hopefully later this week:
    Here is a thread discussing the differences and some sample ARW files from both the M1 and M2:

  • Can Lightroom3 use the Lightroom 4 RAW file loader?

    For those who can't run Windows 7, who bought a new camera and wrongly assumed that support for that camera wouldn't require an upgrade of LIghtroom AND an upgrade of the operating system (and RAM and graphics card and ...) is there a way to use the LR4 RAW loader in LR3 ?
    And no, the thought of adding another workflow step by going through DNG does not appeal in any way.

    Both, the graphics hardware wasn't up to it and there are hardware components there aren't drivers for - and it can't be upgraded.
    Seems the computer is well past its sell by date.
    Every system at work I try the MUA tells me it can't be upgraded and needs a fresh install, even the HP XW series workstations.
    But my own computers seem to be too old and bandy-kneed to run Windows 7 at all.
    I guess the pace of change in laptop hardware has been faster than I thought.
    Now, if I could use work's computer that'd be a temporary solution until I have a budget.
    But it's in Belgium via remote desktop from the UK

  • Why when I open my raw files into lightroom, colors are different from my camera's preview?

    Ciao,
    I have a problem... maybe this can be a stupid question but anyway.. I would like to know the reason why when I open a raw image in lightroom, for a second I see the right colors/tone/contrast that i see when i look at the same images on my camera and soon after the word "Loading" I see the raw files with different colors.
    Why this happens???
    Before "Loading" and --> after
    Thank you so much

    Hey Giuseppe
    I have a similar problem but the cause may be different from yours. I shoot a Canon 6D and as far as I know no one with the 5D MKIII has my issue, but maybe you could look into it.
    Canon's Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CC, as well as Lightroom CC, is automatically down converting my CR2 RAW files from 14 bit color depth to 8 bit color depth. This is screwing up my colors, contrast, gradients, etc quite a bit when trying to process RAW files in Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.
    You can read my thread here:
    Banding due to automatic downconverting of RAW files to 8 bit
    You might want to check and see if your RAW files are actually being processed in 16 bit color depth. There is a possibility that they are being down converted automatically for some reason.
    The bit depth in Lightroom for RAW files is supposed to be 16 bit but when opening my files it just converts it down.
    Try downloading Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4
    Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EOS 5D Mark III
    Use that software to process a RAW photo and convert to a 16 bit TIFF. I know this software truly gives you a 16 bit depth image. Then compare the result side to side with what you're seeing in Lightroom.
    If you are having this issue, I have not yet found a way to process RAW CR2 files in ACR or Lightroom and maintain 16 bit depth.
    If you are batch processing to JPEGs it probably doesn't matter, but my issue is that it is down converting BEFORE exporting and thus any edits I do become much more destructive on my 8 bit image than they would if I was editing a 16 bit image. I have to be able to keep things in 16 bit up until the point they go to the printer.
    Sorry, this may not help you at all, it looks like there could just be a difference in White Balance, but I figured I'd throw my two cents out there and maybe you could see if this is actually what is happening for you, and hopefully eventually Adobe could potentially fix this bug.

  • Tiff files are recognized as raw files

    A large number of my tiff files are being recognized by Photoshop and Lightroom as raw files. They open in Camera Raw with +50 brightness and +25 contrast.
    It has occurred in tiff files that I made by 1) scanning film 2) taken with Canon 10D 3) taken with Canon 20D 4) taken with Canon 5D.
    All I do is make a few adjustments in curves and hue/sat. Then I save as tiff. Everything seems fine... until all of sudden, a few minutes later, the thumbnail changes on it's own and suddenly turns very bright. Then when I click on the tiff, it opens in Camera Raw with the added brightness and contrast.
    Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can prevent it? I thought it might be a bug my CS3 program but I just upgraded to CS4 and it's still happening.
    Thank you.

    Thanks again. Yes, these tiff files have an adjustment icon over the thumbnails in Bridge. I'm aware of the fact that I can clear the settings with edit>develop settings>clear settings. But I want to stop this from happening in the first place. I don't know how they are getting ACR adjustments since I didn't even open some of these files with ACR. Some of the these files came straight from the film scanner. I just scanned, saved as tiff...then all of a sudden they have ACR settings. I don't know why.
    With my raw files...all I do is open the file in Photoshop, make a few adjustments, then save as tiff. All of a sudden, the images turn SUPER BRIGHT with the +50 brightness and +25 contrast.
    I would like to email a few of these corrupted files to somebody who works for Adobe so they can look at them and help me figure this out. Do you know how I can do that?

  • Nikon D750 raw files

    When will Lightroom support raw files from the Nikon D750?

    Must be one of the most frequently asked questions in the last few weeks. Many threads on the forum already. In short: next version will likely support the native raw. Any time now we will probably see it but nobody knows for sure outside of Adobe.
    That said, you can do raw files from the D750 in Lightroom right now already since Adobe has released DNG converter ( Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs it's the second download) that supports D750 raw files. Just run your nef files through this and you'll get dng files that will work perfectly in Lightroom. There is no quality loss when doing this and the files will work like any raw file but you don't get all the camera matching profiles in Lightroom yet. That will only come when Lightroom fully supports the camera. At that point the dng files will get the camera matching profiles too.

  • Is there a way to edit raw files from the Canon 5DMkIII in Lightroom 2?

    I rented a Canon 5DMkIII this past weekend and shot in RAW. I'm running Lightroom 2.7 on my laptop because I have a pre-Intel dual-G5 tower at home and can't run LR3 or LR4 on a pre-Intel chip machine and I tend to share my libraries across my laptop to my tower and back (so I need to be able to open the LR files on both machines, which is why I'm still using LR2 ... I know, I know, I need to upgrade but that's going to be a hefty investment!)... In the meantime, I'm wondering if there's a way to view/edit the raw files in Lightroom? They won't even import (I get the message upon import attempt: "Some import operations were not performed. (97)")... I know the information is there, though, because I used PhotoMechanic to do the initial sort of my images that I wanted to keep/edit. I see there's ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 6.7 (I think it is) that supports the 5DMkIII, but I'd prefer to edit across the board in Lightroom, it's so much faster. Is there something I can download to still edit my raw files in LR2? Or, do I have to buy the update and get LR4 if I want to edit my 5DMkIII RAW files? Thanks in advance for your help!!

    Support for the canon 5d Mk111 was introduced in LR 4, ACR 6.7 so you will have to use the Adobe DNG Converter 6.7 or later to convert the raw files to dng format before you can import and work with the files in LR 2. The converter is a free download from Adobe and is available at this link.

  • Unable to open raw files in lightroom from my nikon d5300

    I have recently bought a nikon d5300 camera and cannot open any raw files using elements 12 or lightroom 5.3 which are both recommended for the new camera and its raw formats?

    What exactly do you mean, please describe in detail, "cannot open any raw files". What steps are you trying in Lightroom, and what happens when you try those steps in Lightroom, and what is the error message.
    Did you use any Nikon software at any time in the handling of these photos, before you try to open them in Photoshop Elements, or import them into Lightroom?
