LIGHTROOM jpg settings for raw

is it possible to load raw content with settings that were applied to jpgs meaning: WB, tone, sharpening and so on: ..i kind of like canon's jpg straight out of the camera but would like to keep raw adjustment potential so perfect solution would be to have raw with jpg settings to start with

No, but you can develop a preset to closely match what the camera does to the JPEG that you like and apply it on import.

Make lightroom default program for raw files

I purchased Lightroom 5 after a trial version expired. (I believe the version was 5.2, not sure.) I got the actual DVD with the activation code on the box.
Current OS is Windows 7.
At first I ran the updates from the internet (had a bit of trouble with the DVD opening) and it loaded version 5.5, and I used the activation code. Everything went well, but when I try to open a raw file (Sony/.arw extension), it doesn't give me the option to use Lightroom as the default program for this action. It doesn't show the program at all, and when I go into browse and select it, it still won't come up.
So, I uninstalled everything, rebooted etc, then loaded up the DVD and got the DVD to work this time. Again, I think the version came up 5.2. Went to assign .arw files to Lightroom, and - no problem whatsoever. Lightroom showed up as a program, like it hadn't before. I then ran the update again to 5.5, and I'm running into the exact same thing, where I can't set LR as the default program. Possibly the registry is not right? It's just no longer seeing Lightroom as a program in the "Open With" option (when I reinstalled, it wiped out the 'open with LR' I had attached to the files.) I can open up Lightroom itself just fine, but I can't just click on a raw file and have it open.
Any ideas on how to fix this, and why the earlier version was okay, but the update wiped out the 'open with' option?
Thanks,
Carmen

It is common misconception that LR should open images.
What happens is that LR opens LR catalogs, not images. Images are imported after LR has started up. You can double-click on a LR Catalog, an .lrcat, file, or you can drag-and-drop a LR catalog file onto the LR icon, and either will cause LR to open, but that is all. If you ever opened an image with LR it would hang and be difficult to fix.
I think maybe LR 1.x would automatically import images if you dragged them to it, but that was shut down several versions ago.
LR can also be set to open when you insert a memory card, via a checkbox in preferences.
You can also open LR via a shortcut, and then drag-and-drop a folder onto the main image area in Library mode and that'll initiate an import. This is actually what I do for every import.

Add ability for Lightroom to open a RAW file in Photoshop

Currently, one cannot open RAW files in Photoshop from Lightroom. I realize that there are many of the same ACR 4.1 features in LR, but sometimes I just want to the open the RAW file directly in Photoshop.

I agree with this feature request.
I have lightroom and PS Extended. Lightroom is perfect for browsing and searching through my RAW images (much better than Bridge I find), and many times I will process the RAW in lightroom and then send the TIFF to Photoshop for further editing.
HOWEVER, ;O) Photoshop extended has far more RAW capability. Sometimes I look at a RAW in lightroom and would like to send that straight to PS Extended to process the RAW with the extra features. At the moment, I have to manually open photoshop, search for the photo (which is a long time consumer when I already found it in Lightroom) and then process.
This would be a very handy feature.
It would also work perfectly with a similar extra feature to export RAW to a 3rd party program. Sometimes, after browsing photos in lightroom, I would like to send the RAW straight to Photomatix, an HDR software for tone mapping. It only works with RAW for tone mapping, but Lightroom only allows you to send a TIFF/JPG to an external program.
These simple features would really really speed up my work flow.

Can Lightroom import/use Camera Raw saved settings from Photoshop CS2?

Before getting LR, I used CS2. I would load my CR2 files from my cam into CS2 and Camera Raw would pop up for raw editing. I would edit the photos, but sometimes save the settings to a XMP file. Those files would then be available for any raw photo, i just had to select that setting.
Is there any way to import those saved settings files into LR? There's just text in them, what about importing the text somewhere? I dunno... I really want to use these settings files in LR!!
Also, If I change things to a photo in LR, does it have a similar save-the-edit feature like camera raw?
Thanks!!

If you import images with those side car files, you'll get those settings automatically. If you've already imported the images without the side cars somehow, you can put the side cars back and do read metadata from files.

Is there an alternative?

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.
Fix Corrupted Nikon NEF Images

I have Lightroom 5 downloaded from the creative cloud. Lens profiles are not working for raw files. Canon 50D with EFS 10-22, EF 100 f2.8L macro and other Canon lens. None showing in lens profiles

When I first downloaded Lightroom 5 from the Creative Cloud lens profiles were working OK
Now it does not seem to recognize my camera - Canon 50D and lens - various Canon EF and EFS - All were recognized previously

I don't use these features, since I don't have such a cam, but could it be that you may need to input settings for filmback and distance of the lens mount somewhere? If the program operated based on wrong assumprions, the best profile in the world would be wrong...

RAW Plist settings for a Canon Powershot S40

I have a lot of RAW Canon .CRW's in iPhoto. I now use Aperture for my Canon EOS 20d, but would like to use Aperture for my old S40 digicam photos.
I tried editing RAW Plist by copying one of the sections (Canon s60). However, white highlights are blown out to fluorescent pink.
Any recommendation as to the correct RAW settings I should edit into RAW Plist?
Thank you.

Hi David,
I work with a Pentax *ist DS which also isn't supported (yet?) in the Raw.plist. I changed the existing entry from Pentax *ist D to Pentax *ist DS which allows Aperture to at least read the raw files... but the colours were not quite correct. However, there is a trick which partially alleviates the problem.
If you look closely at the Raw.plist, you'll find that there are one to several matrices for each model, called m1, m2, mc (and possibly others). Now, the values for at least the m2 matrix can be found in the open source "dcraw" (on which part of Aperture's raw developer appears to be based).
Thus, load the source of dcraw (look it up via google), and find the matrix appropriate for your camera in that code. The numbers given there need to be divided by 1000 (example: 10948 becomes 1.0948). Next, you need to replace the m2 matrix' values in the Raw.plist with those from dcraw, and you're set.
I haven't yet found with what to replace the m1 and mc matrix values. I guess that the various matrices are used by Aperture for various white points (d50, d65, etc) and help Aperture to get the colour of your photos right. However, with the method described above, you'll get rather accurate colour reproduction as long as your white balance settings were correct while you took your photo.
Other camera specific values in the Raw.plist seem to contain the settings for camera-specific noise reduction, sharpening, boost etc. - I don't know anything about these (yet).
Now if somebody could show how to determine the values for the m1 and mc matrices, that would be a great help.
Kind regards,
Karl

Camera Raw Sharpening Settings for Landscapes

Hi
Would anyone be so kind as to tell me if they have their own preferred sharpening (Detail) settings for sharpening landscapes in Camera Raw, and what these settings are.
Also if you have sharpening settings for other photographs I would also be very grateful for them. Maybe there is a guide out there that gives suggested sharpening parameters for the Detail tab that someone may know of?
Thanking you in advance for any anticipated help you can give me here.

The short answer is to dial in what looks right. Sometimes that's NO sharpening. Only experience will tell you what will work best in YOUR post processing workflow. You have to experiment some to arrive at your own best practices.
May I suggest some additional things that I've found to be useful:
1. Convert to a resolution higher than the native camera photosite count. In other words, if you're shooting a 10 MP camera, convert to the 17 MP size.
2. Determination of a good conversion sharpening value will depend on what you're going to do with an image. You might, for example, choose to dial in a LOT of sharpening during conversion if you're going to immediately downsize an image greatly for web display. Or you might dial in very little if you have a sophisticated sharpening tool you're going to use later.
Hope this helps.

Can you copy and paste camera raw filter settings for video?

I have just learned how to use the camera raw filter for color correcting my video clips. Is there a way to copy the settings for one clip and apply it to another? How do you do this?

If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
(contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
I'm used to seeing.
I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
before.

Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
1. Drop raw files on bat file.
2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
Documentation:
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
“/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

Red Raw Source Settings - multiple settings for one long clip?

Hello everyone,
I have a timeline with red raw material from Red Scarlet 4K. My DOP wants to make some adjustments in the source settings before Grading. I have some long merged clips (with a lot of changes in light etc.) and I have let`s say two different parts of one of the long clips in the timeline, so I tried to make some changes in the source settings for those two clips in the timeline, but the source settings change the master clip and not only the edited clips in the timeline. Is there a way to make adjustments in the source settings separately for every clip in the timeline?
after I open the source settings it won`t show me the part of the clip which I have in the timeline, but the whole clip from the beginning, so I have to search manually where my clip in the timeline begins, so I know how to adjust it. Is there a way that the source settings show me only the part of the clip (or at least an in and out point) I have in the timeline?

In my experience, each .RDC container can only have a single RMD (settings) file associated with it.
To create multiple settings for the same clip, you would have to duplicate the .RDC folder and its contents for each new setting required.
You would then have to replace each use of that file within your sequence, for each new setting required,
i.e. 3 settings would require original plus 2 duplicate .RDC folders, then you'd have to replace each occurrence of that clip with 1 of 3 files that has the proper new setting.
Now, of course, if you're not grading in PrP, I can't say how the color correction software would know which duplicated files or settings to link to.
No, there is currently no way to open the Settings dialog for a .R3D file and have it match frame to a clip in the sequence. Perhaps you could submit a feature request for that option.

LR4 settings for converting Panasonic GF3 raws?

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but I'll pose it anyway. I'm looking for LR4 settings that will make raws from a Panasonic GF3 approximate the camera's default jpeg output, at least for color & tone curve.
Does anyone have settings for this camera that they care to share?

Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

The GH4 must be very new as it’s not listed in Adobe’s supported cameras, so wait until the next version of LR. Usually there is one every 3-4 months with a release-candidate available at Adobe Labs before that: http://labs.adobe.com/

Is there any way to get lightroom 4 to recognise raw files from my 7d Mark 2?

I have been searching on here for a few days now, but can't seem to get my head around the answers I got a new 7D mark 2 a few weeks ago. When I first came to download my pictures from the card I was only marginally surprised they were unreadable - I'd forgotten to format the memory card to the camera. No big deal, I thought, merrily deleting the photos Lightroom couldn't read and formatting the card. But now that I have formatted the card, I am kindof upset that Lightroom still cannot read the files at all. I have downloaded the DNG converter and updated all my software, but if the files are not being read at all, how am I supposed to convert them?
What am I supposed to do? I can see the photos on the camera itself - I usually shoot in Raw and JPEG to cover myself, but this time Lightroom isn't reading either format. If I shoot purely in JPEG I can download them without problem, but together (jpeg and raw) I can't see either.
Tech wise I have a hp laptop, 4GB RAM, 2tb hd (separate), Windows 7 64-bit os, Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 12.
Help me please?
Thanks

I have downloaded the DNG converter and updated all my software, but if the files are not being read at all, how am I supposed to convert them?
You use the DNG converter (version 8.7 or later) to convert the RAW to DNG. This is a separate step, outside of Lightroom, before you import. Then th DNGs will be import-able into Lightroom 4.
I usually shoot in Raw and JPEG to cover myself, but this time Lightroom isn't reading either format.
If your card has both JPG and RAW, Lightroom isn't reading the JPGs? Could you give us the error message or describe what is happening? Also make sure that the option to treat JPG next to RAW as separate photos is checked. Lightroom Help | Set import preferences
