Lightroom Imports even my vertical pictures as horizontals!

Well, the title says it all. When I'm importing photos either directly from the camera (Canon Rebel XTi) or from the card reader, it imports all of the files as horizontals, including the obviously verticals. Now, when they are viewed in Lightroom (1 or 2) the verticals are correctly oriented, however if I go to my pictures/somepicturefolder/ and look at the actual files, the verticals are horizontal.
Obviously this gets quite annoying when I don't feel like exporting all of the pictures I import all over again just to orient them correctly if I want to send the unedited files to a friend or print them. Also, if I want to rotate the original verticals to their correct orientation in Windows Picture Viewer or whatever, (Keep in mind, I can't rotate them in lightroom because they are vertical like they should be when displayed in the library), it will then display them incorrectly in Lightroom, as well as unsyncing the metadata and all that jazz.
This can get very annoying, and I honestly have no clue why it does this. My brother uses and mac and when he uploads pictures from the same camera (that DOES have auto-rotate turned on) it displays normally for him on his computer, (macs are always better...)
So, if this is a problem that has been asked before, I apologize, but it is very frustrating!

try to change your orientation settings in camera. even my old eos 400d has the option to choose between auto orientation for the camera display, the computer or both. they are symbols in the camera setup menu. i have set it to leave the orientation in camera as is and to flip them for the computer. and thats exactly what it does. works like a charm - even with windows picture viewer.
however i work with RAW images so lightroom takes care of any mix ups. so when i export them to jpeg they are all processed as i want them. do i assume correct that you work with jpegs which if not processed are left in their original state by lightroom and not flipped as they should be?

None of the vertical pictures will import. I don't even get the black screens so can't even try the edit option that others suggest. Sounds like we all have to report it to apple to get a fix?????

I Cannot import any vertical pictures. I don't even get a black screen and therefore can't edit. After downloading from the camera the vertices pictures show with a red ! And won't import. Sounds like we all have to report this to apple ....but anyone had same issue and how can I fix, we are on trip and need to clear the camera for more photos.

I am using Lightroom on my MAC where I import the finalized JPEG-pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow (for instance in combination with films). When exporting the slideshow with a 1080p resolution to iTunes I experience difficulties (missing slides and black transitions). When using JPEG-pictures directly from the camera there are no problems, so the manipulation in Lightroom seem to cause corrupt files. Does anyone recognize tje problem and could it have anything to do with the introduction of the Yosemite software? Is Lightroom already Yosemite-proof?

In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

Vertical pictures become horizontal after being imported

I imported pictures directly from my picture folder. I need the vertical pictures to stay vertical, but many of them, not all of them, become horizontal after being imported into iMovie 06. How do I correct this?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for responding. Do you know how to correct this problem so that vertical images stay vertical?

Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

I have this camera model and it has been supported by Adobe products for many years, already, including LR 5.2.
If your XSi CR2 files won’t import into LR, then something may have corrupted the files, or the process you’re using isn’t quite right.
As others have said, please give more details of the process you’re using, any error messages you receive, and if necessary, you can supply a CR2 file for others to examine, by uploading to http://www.dropbox.com and posting a public download link to a reply, here.

Prevent Lightroom importing JPG JPEG

How can I make Lightroom import only RAW and not JPG files? (Some camera's require you to save a JPG next to a RAW to generate the best preview on the camera LCD)

Most cameras that shoot Raw offer the option to shoot Raw+JPG, or Raw only - but not all. My little LX1 is one that does not give the option, so I get this same issue.
If you are using some other method to get the image files into your computer first, and then using the Add option to put them into LR, then you can just leave out these JPGs at that earlier point. However, IMO it is more convenient to have LR do the importing as a single operation. The idea of manually deleting the JPGs from the camera card before safely copying the pictures into the PC, scares me too much to contemplate doing that.
LR does not offer any simple built-in solution here, except by selecting the option to show Raw and JPG as separate images instead of pairing them up (which is what people sometimes do actively want). Then the JPG can be either deleted after import, or else de-selected in the Import dialog and not included in the first place.
If you delete the unwanted JPG, outside LR, after import, LR will not complain - but may continue to (informationally) report the image concerned as "Raw+JPG", even though that is no longer the case physically.
I don't have LR in front of me now, but I am pretty sure there is a sort order option for the Import screen. So if you can separate the images on your camera card by their filetype, and if you know that there are no JPGs on that camera card that you want to import into LR, you can easily highlight the Raw files as a group - and then proceed to Import just those into the computer.
Or: if you are interested in shooting Raw only, you can set your camera JPG settings to the fewest available JPG megapixels and the lowest possible saving quality. This makes a dramatic difference to the JPG file size, and they may well then be accepted as doing no real harm (not treating them as separate images in that case, just as non-functional sidecar files).

When I try to import pictures of my daughter, what gets imported is about 50 pictures of world flags, then masks. I can't import any pictures now. I am on MacBook Pro. I called Applecare and honestly got 'gee I don't know' for an answer.

I can't import pictures into iPhoto. (f I can right click and there is a choice to put in iPhoto that works fine) . No matter what happens, even when I download them first, all that imports is a mass of pictures of flags and masks, and they are the only things that are imported, no matter what picture I try to import into my librarly. Can anyone help me with this? I live in a small down 5 hours from an apple store so I can't just take it in and get somene to look at it.
I am on a Macbook Pro. I called AppleCare and all i got was 'gee, I don't know'. Everything was fine until about 3 weeks ago

Elaine. What are you trying to import from? Are you inserting a camera memory card in the slot on the side of your mac? Are you connecting your camera to the mac through a USB cable? It sounds like you can see your pictures, where do you see them, on the memory card that you open on your desktop, or are you using software that came with your camera?

When exporting out of lightroom the color of my picture channges significantly

I use windows 8 and tried exporting out of lightroom through firefox and this did not help either

Hi Shmuglak. Thank you for the information. I tried those things but did not work.    I just got windows 8 and just downloaded photoshop CC and Lightroom from the cloud.   My settings in Lightroom under preferences are :   Under jpeg preview it is checked on fast load data.   Under external editing the color space is prophoto.   Under additional external editor it is set to preset (Custom). Under Default Develop Settings the only thing checked is apply auto mix when first converting to BW.   Under export module:   Location:   set to same as original folder and no check mark on add to catalog.   Under Post Processing I have tried do nothing and tried firefox.
It is funny that when I export a picture from lightroom using firefox that picture pops for preview and the picture looks fine but then when I go to my email and try to email that same picture and use send with a file attachment the picture looks aweful on my desktop but when looking at it on the ipad or iphone the picture looks fine.
Any other suggestions would be great
thank you

I don't know if this is your case but I have a similar problem (and has been helped out by some kind soul on this forum). The change of color may happen if you are re-importing the exported pictures into the Lightroom catalog. If this is what you are doing, some import presets may be applied and this may cause the color change. I'm talking about this setting, sheck if it is enabled. If it is, disable it and see if it helps.

I have move all Pic to new drive, lightroom can't find PSD pictures?

I have moved all pictures and LRCAT to new drive, Lightroom can't find any PSD pictures? Is this a problem with Lightroom?

1. I exported all pictures using export as a catalog to a new external hard drive. I’m using lightroom 5. The file was large. I have about 3000 missing pictures after to import to new drive. sing find, I try to find the pictures. I discovered that lightroom could not find any pictures with .PSD extension. I would go to the prior drive and do a search using window explorer, I would find the picture with the PSD extension and go back to “find” again, I would get to the correct folder and Lightroom would say there were no pictures in the folder. I’m using the “!” on the corner of the missing picture to start the “ find” and I work backwards until I find the correct folder that I identified using windows exployer. Normally this process works great. Suggestions?

Lightroom imports with 100 clarity

Hello people,
i have the strange problem that lightroom imports always with 100 clarity. There is definitely something wrong with my presets, just don't know how to change that. Thanks for any suggestions, tobfl

If you apply a preset during the import process, that preset will be applied to all images that are imported. Another way to apply a preset to all images would be to have multiple images highlighted in the develop module and have auto-sync enabled.
The first thing I would suggest that you try is to reset the clarity on one of those newly imported images, changing nothing else. Then, save new camera defaults. Then I would check in your import dialog to make sure you haven't chosen a preset to be applied during the import process. Next, take a test image and import it.

Aperture 3 keeps crashing or freezing in the middle of editing a photo. I am trying to start editing a shoot I did but I can't even finish one picture without it crashing. Please help!!!

I'm trying to finish a start editing a photo shoot I did yesterday and I've been editing with Aperture for a several months without a problem until a couple of weeks ago. I think there was an update somewhere in there and not I cannot even finish one picture, as it freezes or crashes on me every single time. It does not save anything that I have already edited and I have to start over from scratch only to have it crash on me again. I have updated my ram which helped with the slowness I was experiencing back in January. I need help fast!
Thank you!

Starting oiff by giving your hardware and software setup would be a big help. Also any steps you've already taken to try and fix the problem.
If you haven't done so already have a look at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
Without move info it's hard to get more specific than that.

Vertical Pictures Cut Off in Photo Album Page

On my photo albums page, the picture I want to use as the first picture is a vertical picture. But on the albums page, the albums are all horizontal. So when someone goes to look at my albums page, they just see these cut-off pictures with heads missing. Is there a way to change the orientation of the albums so they are vertical? Or is there a way to edit the first picture so that you can move the picture down so at least the head is showing in the horizontal view?

Hi Kara,
the only solution I can find is to drop a vertical photo into the MyAlbums page and cover the album with it (thus hiding the other head-less photo) linking that photo to the photopage.
However this will cause the effects moving the pointer over the album cover (skim, dissolve, ...) to disappear.
As far as I know albums can't be rotated and vertical photos are cut off and you can't tell iWeb not to cut them off...
Regards,
Cédric

Now, when I go to work in Lightroom 5, I have no pictures.
Could you provide more details? Is this the copy of your catalog, or the original catalog? Are you sure you didn't accidentally open some other catalog? If you try the catalogs under File->Open Recent, do you find your photos?
I did check the back-ups, and all the pictures are there, however with a ? on every photo. What do I do to get my photos back into my original Lightroom 5 without the ? marks?
Backups will work properly if you restore the catalog file and the photos to their ORIGINAL locations.
