Lightroom and a tethered Nikon

Hi
I want to shoot directly into Lightroom with my Nikon tethered as you can with Aperture. This facility seems possible with Canon kit but for Nikon it seems the only solution is to use Camera Control Pro or Capture NX... Neither of which i have any need for and seem an expensive solution (just for auto-download) . Doe anyone know of an alternative?
Is it likely that Adobe will add an auto-download plug in for Nikon? I know the Nikon SDK is readily available.
I expect that by the time Adobe will get around to it it will only be for the Intel Macs :-(

Hi,
Thanks for the link
Looks good BUT... I have OSX1.4 (on a PPC G5) and it requires 10.5 :-(
If It works on 10.4 it will solve my problems.
If not I may have to look at an upgrade to 10.5 :-(

Is it possible for one camera to work and one not in lightroom and be a lightroom issue? Nikon says

My son and I purchased Nikon D7100s. Mine works fine. He was having trouble getting his raw files into lightroom 4.4. He came over to my house and used my computer still having the same issues. He can read the raw fine in ViewNX2 but not in his lightroom, my lightroom or elements 11. Nikon says it is an issue with Adobe...Is this possible? He is probably going to return the camera...

Strange coincidence:
Earlier this evening I was on the Exiftool homepage to download a new version. And I noticed a repair tool I had never seen before and have no use for since I don't own a Nikon camera. And then I came here and saw your thread...
You may want to try the tool here:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
Phil Harvey only writes that it repairs file from D4, D600, D800, D800E and D3200. But it is worth trying anyway, I think. If it doesn't work, contact him. He often implements changes very fast.
Your son may also want to consider if he should continue using Nikon software to download the photos from the camera. This excerpt from the above mentioned link doesn't sound very reassuring:
[Note that Nikon doesn't learn from their mistakes, and a similar problem happened 2 years ago with an older version of Nikon Transfer and the D5000 -- read here. The moral is: Don't use Nikon Transfer or any other utility that modifies the file to download your precious images!]

When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing

Thanks Sean,
I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

When will Lightroom and Elements support the Nikon D600?

When will Lightroom and Elements support the Nikon D600? In the meantime is there a workaround so the D600 raw files can be exported to Lightroom or am I simply out of business until Adobe develops the needed patch?
As best as I have been able to figure out I may as well rebox the 600 and go back to my older, supported camera, until whenever.

A: What were you using before your precious D600 showed up today.
A D90 with good glass.
Nikon 70-200 f2.8, Nikon 24-70 f2.8, Voigtlander 58 f1.4, Tokina 11-16 f2.8.
Now I need to get a good FF wide solution for the D600.
Trigger on the D600 is much more stiff than my D90 so I'm having to press down a bit harder to get the AF confirmation. Just need to get used to that I guess.
FYI, JPG files right out of the camera are looking good.
B: Don’t you think Adobe wants to sell you the next generation product/upgrade to accommodate all of our insatiable photographic pursuits???
I had been using Apple's Aperture and switched to Lightroom a couple of months ago. I thought the price was actually quite fair for the power of the LR software. I did have to updgrade my computer's RAM....
C: Have a nice glass of wine tonight and enjoy your $2K investment. I’m personally looking forward to savoring a next generation photographic paradigm.
We did enjoy some vino last night! I was thinking I would possibly jump ship to Sony A99 and just switch to all Zeiss glass with autofocus, but I'm not convinced that the EVF is for me, and I'm really not a video shooter, mostly just landscape and real estate. Also, I the Sony turned out to be priced a bit too high for me personally in comparision to the D600.
Buenos Dias!

How do I upgrade my Lightroom and photoshop to now support my Nikon 810

I have the membership for Lightroom and Photoshop through Creative cloud

Hi Kimberly,
Support for Nikon D810 is available from Lightroom 5.6. So, updating your Lightroom(Help Menu > Check for Updates) to the latest version 5.7.1 should do the trick.
Let me know in case of any issues.
Cheers!

Reds in Lightroom 2.6 with Nikon D3s are horrible

Just started using a Nikon D3s and the reds in Lightroom are horrible -- oversaturated and too red. For example, oranges look red. The JPEG previews actually look fine so it's something about the RAW program.
I compared to Nikon D3 and D3 has no problems.
Anyone else have this problem? Is the D3s profile for LR 2.6 messed up?

What immediately strikes me is that the exposure on these 2 images is very different and that your white balance is not the same in both. One of the strange things with Lightroom and ACR is that the rendered hue depends quite strong on the original exposure. Your D3 image is at 1/3s, f8 and the D3s image is at 3/5 and f8, one stop longer. At the same time, the D3s image is darker. Looking at it, that is because they were taken 1 hour apart and the light clearly changed completely judging the shadows from the chair. If you take the jpegs and white balance on the Whibal cards, the reds pull together significantly. It is not surprising that two different cameras judge white balance differently, especially if you shoot the image at different times. You will probably get closer results than me with the jpegs if you start with the RAWs and white balance on the whibal. Then if you also equalize the exposures based on the whibal greycard, you'll find that the reds are closely the same, except for the obvious difference in lighting direction which causes some highlights on the fabric in one image and not so much in the other. There also seems to be a small difference in overall saturation which is par for the course and probably has more to do with the different lighting conditions.
This is really very close for two completely different sensors considering the non-equal testing condition. The differences are on the scale of the difference between two cameras with the same model number! I would redo your test in better controlled lighting conditions and make sure the exposures are equal.
If you want to get closer results, the only way is to shoot a colorchecker and create profiles for both. Otherwise you'll keep subtle differences in color no matter what you do.

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.

Download the Adobe DNG Converter (and install it, and run it...).

Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

Thank you for your response.
I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file."

Lightroom auto import/tethered shooting strangeness

Hello, I'm trying to work out a tethered shooting workflow for the 1Ds MKIII that can keep up with a fairly rapid lifestyle shooter. I'm on a Windows XP system, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 duo system with 3 GB of ram. I'm seeing this same behavior in LR 1.3 and LR 2.0 beta.
I've followed the steps Martin Evening outlines on his blog (Canon EOS utility in conjunction with Lighroom auto import) here http://lightroom-news.com/2008/02/07/shooting-tethered-with-the-canon-eos-1ds-mkiii/ and everything is working _almost_ smoothly.
When I fire off a single frame with the camera, it takes about 5 seconds for the Canon EOS utility to copy the file to the hard drive and for lightroom to see and move the file from the watched folder to the destination folder. This seems reasonable.
However, when I start shooting at a normal pace (approximately 1 frame a second) it seems like Lightroom stops watching the watched folder until I stop shooting for an extended period of time.
I would have thought Lightroom checked the folder at a standard interval, every 5 seconds or so. However, if I snap, say 40 frames at the rate of 1 a second, Lightroom doesn't realize there are new images in the watched folder until I stop shooting and let the camera's buffer empty out.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know if there is a registry hack to force lightroom to check the watched folder more frequently? Even better would be a hook, like a command line switch, that tells LR to check the watched folder immediately. The EOS utility 'linked software' preference could be configured to call this hook, and would result in much snappier performance.
Thanks for the help,
Andris

Hi Andris,
It strikes me that you have hit the maximum buffer that the combination of the Windows OS, EOS Utility and Lightroom are capable of managing. As you will have read in the report, I was able to fine-tune the tethered import to a rate of 3 seconds per capture image. This was with an Intel iMac 2.8 GHz duo core running Windows XP with 4 GB RAM. So a little faster than your Windows machine, which would explain why my download tests were faster.
Look at it this way. There is the usual buffer of up to 12 frames on the camera in raw mode, which when combined with the 2 seconds it takes to transfer say, 25MB data from the camera to the computer via USB 2. This means that you can shoot at a rate of 1 frame per second, but will soon hit the camera buffer first in around 20 seconds or so at that rate. it takes about a further 1 second for the files to auto import into Lightroom and as you point out, Lightroom appears to do this in bursts. How to speed that up, I don't know. What I do know is that any background activity will slow down the import. On a shoot this week I was busy building an export of high res JPEGs from the catalog as I was shooting more downloads and as one would expect, this did affect the performance.
It would be nice if the tethered shooting could be made faster, but as far as I am aware, this combination is the fastest yet and certainly faster than downloading from a card. As for Capture One, I don't know yet if they have managed to get tethered shooting sorted out for the MkIII.

I recently bought full edition of Lightroom 5 for my Nikon D610 but when i connect my other camera, Nikon D3100 for editing my NEF files it says not supported files.What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Often, this error message means that you have used some version of Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer, and this has corrupted the files. There is a fix which uncorrupts the files at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
But you said you get this message when you "connect my other camera Nikon D3100", the key word being "connect", and this doesn't really fit the description I just gave. This error message normally happens after you have transferred the photos to your computer via Nikon software, not when you connect it. So ... maybe you need to explain a little more ... what exact task (what menu options, what are you clicking on, what are you trying to do) when you get this error.

Will lightroom 4.4. recognize nikon d810 raw files

Will lightroom 4.4 import Nikon d810 raw files.
Rick

don´k know if this will be delivered. Cannot continue to edit.
Yes, I used Nikon Transfer.
When I try to import directly in Lightroom the previews are not
available and when I click Import, same error message rises.

How do I get LR3 and CS5 read Nikon P7700 raw files?

Just bought a Nikon P7700 so I can use the Raw feature. CS5 and LR3 do not read the P7700 Raw Files....does Adobe have an update and/or plugin for this?

It depends.....if your normal route into PS is through Lightroom and the "Edit in..." process, then no you won't need to update PS as well as Lightroom will handle the Raw conversion. But if you have a need to directly open raw files into Photoshop's ACR plug-in, then yes you would need to upgrade PS as well.

Will Lightroom 4 ever support Nikon's D4S net files? If so is they an idea of the release date?

Will Lightroom 4 ever support Nikon's D4S net files? If so is they an idea of the release date? I don't mind upgrading to 5 but unfortunately it doesn't work with my OS for Mac and I shouldn't have to upgrade both and don't want to...

Well BAD BAD me... I ASSUMED it worked because I could install it on my mac 10.6 but guess what... 8.3 won't support the D4S files. I swear I am in a never ending loop of hell. I really shouldn't have to upgrade my WHOLE operating system AND buy the newest version of Lightroom that I don't need just because I got a new camera. THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
