Ligtroom 4.3 does'nt import jpg

Hi!
I have recently upgraded to a new computer with windows 8 preinstalled. When i tried to import jpg with lightroom today i discovered this problem; The thumbnails shows as usual, but when I click the import button, it runs through the files and tells me that non where imported because the file could not be read. I have tried both with a card reader, and directly from the camera. No luck. I works fine when I try to copy in windows explorer. Have any one else come across this issue?

This is most probably a problem of missing permission for the folder / drive you are importing to.
I don't know Win 8 but I'm assuming that in that respect it would be similar to Win 7.
In Win 7 you have to give yourself "full permission" for the folders / drives that Lr is using.
In Win 7 this is done by opening <My Computer>, right-clicking the drive in question, selecting <Properties> and the <Security> tab.
Select your user name (i.e. highlight it in the first window) and check if it says "full control" in the bottom window.
If it doesn't click on <Advanced> and again highlight your user name and select "full control". Click <OK>.

Aperture does not import jpg:s from certain files.

After reassembled all the programs to a new hard drive in Mac Pro, Aperture does not import certain files with .jpg -photos. Earlier it has succeeded. Changing the photo location does not help. Nor importing as projects. Files are visible when asking to import but the thumbs are not seen on Aperture window.

, I see only the file, where these photos are, not the photo names or thumbs inside the file (Aperture import path).
You mean in the Aperture Import panel the folder, where the jpegs should be, is empty?
Then you may have excluded jpegs from import in your "Import Settings".
Check the above settings in the "Import Settings" options in the "Import Window". I.e-make sure the Raw+Jpeg Pairs option is set to "Both", even if you do not import raws.
After reassembled all the programs to a new hard drive in Mac Pro
Is this new Harddrive your system volume? And are the jpegs you wat to import located on this drive? Or are the on another external volume? If yes, how is this volume formatted?
Have you checked the permissions and ownership of the jpegs?

Can't import jpg's

I am trying to import jpg's to organizer, I have imported about 38,000 images but there are some in some folders and all in some folders that will not import.
   I have tried to right click on the folder and choose import to organizer, no go says they are already there.
   I then tried on the File button Get Photos and Videos and from files and folders it I highlight the missing jpgs and it seems to want to import them and then it says they are already in the catalog.
    Could it be because they have the same name (ex. IMG_3600) as a jpg in another folder? Does the organizer only allow one unique name per picture and if you have duplicate names in 2 different folders it will not show them?

I set up a category of Nature a sub cat under that of Ocean and a keyword tag under ocean of Lighthouses. I then tagged photos in two different folders with the lighthouse tag, about 5 shots in each folder out of 10-20 shots in each folder
    I did a search on Lighthouses and it found the 5 that were in the folder I had open but unless I clicked on the other folder they didn't show in the main screen. When I clicked on "show all" all the pictures in the folder then showed, lighthouses and nonlighthouses.
     Does organizer not like folders? i.e. does it really want every photo in one large folder?
If I tag a photo that is buried in a folder somewhere it doesn't seem to help me to have to open every folder, I must have between 150 and 250 folders to find the photo it found.

Imported jpg probs - Urgent

Before I begin, I'd like to apologize in advance if this
issue has already been addressed in these forums.. I'd be suprised
if it hasn't, but i've looked all over, and cannot find the answer
i'm looking for.
I'm using FlashMX 2004 Pro, on XP Pro SP2..
I'm creating a website demo/walkthrough that I wish to use
screenshots in. I've been creating the images in Photoshop, and
exporting them as jpeg, then importing them to Flash. I want to be
able to fade the screenshots (alpha) and have them enlarge/zoom in
on specific parts of the screenshots. Unfortunately, when I
preview/publish the swf, the screens are dithered and choppy. The
only way they look good is if I keep them placed at 100% size.
Since I want to be able to fade & resize the screenshots, this
is a problem. I've tried png as well, with no better results.
I've tried editing the properties of the imported jpg/png, to
keep the image quality lossless or at 100%, but no dice.
Can anyone out there possibly tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and put me forever in
your debt.
Thanks, -j

scaling bitmaps in flash (been discussed countless times,
surprised it was hard to find) is never
good - flash does not handle the scaling or even rotating of
bitmaps well. Always keep them at 100%.
If you must scale, then you can try:
play with the "smoothing" option in the properties for the
imported bitmap (library).
Add this to your first frame: _quality = "BEST";

How to import jpg in lightroom 5 (cc) without keywords

When I import jpg photos Lightroom automatically also imports all keywords. How can I stop this? The reason I don't want them is that I actually want to re-do all of my keywords/imports. I know it's a big pain, but I feel that it needs to be done, as I've learned how to do things more properly (in theory).
Lightroom 5.3 (creative cloud). Fully updated.
Windows 7.

But doing them via your method (or likely the only method) means that small batches in this way wouldn't work (unless I'm simply misunderstanding, in which case I appologize!). But this way means bringing in a few hundred and getting rid of keywords. At that point there is no use in keywording because after I bring the next bunch in I would have to sort through all the keywords and get rid of them etc.
Batch 1 ... we agree this works, all imported keywords are deleted, then you add your new keywords
Batch 2 ... you just remove the keywords from the newly imported photos via the method I described. You do this by selecting the newly imported photos in the Catalog panel on the left, click on Most Recent Import (if it is not already selected, I think it might be selected by default after you do an import), then Ctrl/Cmd-A to select all of these photos, and then perform this operation. Only keywords from batch 2 will be deleted. The keywords that you added in Batch 1 will not be affected. Then add the new keywords to Batch 2.
Batch 3 ... same as batch 2 ...

Problem importing jpg from device

All of a sudden jpgs that have been copied to my disk do not show up when I use the LR import from device option. Previously imported jpgs show up in LR. The actual jpg files are on the disk and show up with MS Paint or by going through My Documents, but the LR import function just does not seem to "see" them.
i.e. I copy phot a.jpg to my disk. It is there. I want to import it into LR. I select Import from device and get to the directory where the a.jpg is but it just does show the recently copies a.jpg. Name of file in dialog box is blank and files of type show "Supported Files."
Any help of advice would be appreciated. This situation just started within the last couple of days. I am using Windows XP Professional as my operating system.

>I select Import from device and get to the directory where the a.jpg is but it just does show the recently copies a.jpg.
Still not understanding you, Gary. You say it "does show the recently copies (sic) a.jpg". Is the problem that you see a.jpg but you can't select it somehow? Or is the problem something else?

Lightroom does not identify jpg images as duplicates

I'm using Lightroom 5.3. I'm importing images to my catalog from one external drive to another using the "copy" function. I have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, but Lightroom does not identify duplicate jpg images as such and lists them as new files to import. If I import these images they show up in my database/catalog with the -2 designation. The images are identical in filename, capture time, size and EXIF info. I have tried removing my preferences file and starting another but that doesn't change the behavior. I have seen other posts with similar issues but cannot find a solution that works for me. I don't see this listed as a bug either. If anyone has suggestions for a fix I would appreciate it. Thank you.

There is a catalog-specific preference whether to allow LR to adjust date/time values in raw files. I think that is for LR to add a timezone or not. Since these are JPGs maybe this setting doesn’t apply, but maybe the JPGs were imported from RAWs that had it set, or maybe the setting does apply to JPGs, now, too.
It would be worth checking the catalog-specific setting and playing with it to see if you can get the timezone to either exist or not existing for both the images, depending on which one has it, now.
If your current system timezone is not UTC-7, then it would make sense for LR to interpret the images without a timezone to be in the system timezone and different than the ones that have a timezone associated with them.
If the pictures were taking across multiple timezones then there probably isn’t’ a good way to get them all to have the corresponding timezone as the other copy you’re trying to import.

How does DIADEM import TDMS files? How gets every channel his number and groupindex? How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?

I store different channels in a TDMS file.
I like to have a time channel at the first position with group index 1 and number 1.
When I read the TDMS file with DIADEM the time channel (Float64) is on a differernt position, and the channels are not sorted alphabetically.
Here are my questions:
How does DIADEM import TDMS files?
How gets every channel his number and groupindex?
How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?
Best regards
Joerg

Hi Jörg,
i suppose that you´re programme whose create the *.tdms file is writing on false position. Try to create datas with timechannel on first indes in diadem, then save it and then open it again. you see that all is correct. So please tell me what programm in what version do you use and please attache it here.
Did you use the library for creating *.tdms files like in the link ?
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6471
Here you find the gtdms_8.x.zip - when you extract it and opened the *.llb you find vi´s for all functions e.g. writing 2d array of strings to *.tdms file
when you open the subvi´s then you see how created and writing datas/structure to *.tdms files. Because *.tdms is binary you can´t see structure with open it in editor.
When you don´t have Labview you can use the 30 days test of current version 8.5 under following link

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

PrE 11 will not import .jpg files from organizer

Hi,
I just upgraded from PS & PrE 8 to the lastest version 11. I'm running on a Windows 7 pc. My catalog was successfully converted and new pictures were added. I now want to create a dvd with both pictures and videos. I tried various ways to import .jpg files in PrE but some (most) of my files will not import. I get error messages about the files not being supported (missing codex) or the files being too large.
After reading on the forums and on Adobe help site. It seems opening and resaving the files in the organizer fix this. I try and it worked. As I have many files to import (200+), I wonder if there is a way to do some sort of a batch process for all file.
Secondly, also I read PrE can automatically resize the image file to the project size. How can this be acheive ?
Thanks for your help

Please see my answer to this question. It's essentially the same answer I'd give you.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1129183?tstart=0
You can not create a playable DVD or incorporate video and photos in the same project with full resolution photos on it. Video resolution/TV resolution is only 720x480 (standard resolution) or 1920x1080 (high rez).
Premiere Elements has a governor that limits the size of a photo you can add to a video project (which is probably what you're running into). In fact, you'll get much better results if you use LOWER resolution photos in your video project -- 1000x750 pixels for DVDs and standard resolution video and 2000x1500 for BluRays and high-def video.

Aperture Does Not Import Videos using IMPORT FOLDER AS PROJECTS

SOLVED - Aperture 3.2.1 does not import videos using "Import Folder as Project"
After 2 days of trying to figure this out (actually around 2 hours total) I've finally managed to import all my photos & videos last year. 200 Gigs 54,000 files. First few tries resulted with referenced photos only, no videos. I had no luck with Google, even tried moving a couple of .plist as mentioned from this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11188017?messageID=11188017#11188017 - this worked for some but not for me. Some issues were solved by NOT selecting "Raw Only", this will cause Aperture to skip your videos.
Thank you to these people who took time to share. In return I am posting my micro contribution to the Aperture Community. FILE > SWITCH TO LIBRARY > then create a new library. You should be able to import your photos with videos in folders.
I hope this gets into Google soon. :-)

, I see only the file, where these photos are, not the photo names or thumbs inside the file (Aperture import path).

IPhoto import: does Aperture import Original and Edited, or just Edited?

If you edit an image in iPhoto, iPhoto creates a copy of the image and stores the original in its own folder. Further edits are on the copy.
When Aperture imports from iPhoto, does it import the Original, the Edited image, or both?
My hunch is it imports the Edited image, and the Original will be lost. Love to know for sure!

When you import you'll get a stack for any image that
you have edited in iPhoto. Your edited photo will be
on top with the master behind it.
This is excellent news. With all the bad news about Aperture I'd feared the worst.

Make imported jpg in Ai CS5 have transparent background instead of white

I have been looking around the forums and help pages, but I can not seem to find my answer. Maybe I am using the wrong terminology?
In Adobe Illustrator CS5 I have imported a jpg into my artboard. The jpg has a white background. I would like to make the background of the imported jpg transparent. How do I do that? Thanks.
P.S. I do realize that jpgs do not allow transparency, but its the art piece I have to work with.

Go with a format as Monika suggest that asupports transparency .psd, .tif, .png, .pdf.
If you do not have phothsop, you coudl use the transparency palette to create one in Illustrator (see the reverse looking thumbnail, to the right of the blue splat thumbail)

IPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files ?

Hi,
I copied pictures of artists from Amazon on the Web and put them together with the songs in iTunes Artwork. So far so good.
I wanted to import these pics in iPhoto. I dragged them on the desktop en tried to import them via iPhoto 'Add to library'.
Didn't work. iPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files.
What did I do wrong ? What can I do ?
How can I get these pics in iPhoto ?
Thanks for some light in my darkness...

Hi JOhn,
Dragging the album cover out of iTunes either by the album art window or by the "get info" window will just give you a clipping file that cannot be opened by a graphic program. It is just a clipping that Finder will open.
Did you download the images from Amazon and save them to your hard drive, or did you copy/paste them from Amazon to iTunes song "get info" window?
If you just did a copy.paste, then I suggest you go back to Amazon and download the images to your hard drive. then import into iPhoto. There might be some third party programs that will download the art while your songs are playing on iTunes to make it easier for you. they usually put them on a folder on your hard drive somewhere.
there's even an Applescript program to export your artwork from iTunes and copy it to an image file at a specified location.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19567
There are all kinds of ways of doing this so search around Version Tracker for "itunes album art" for other programs to make it easier for you.

After my latest upgrade, iphoto says it does not recognize jpg format. Help!

Search the forum. There are lots of posts from Kodak owners with a similar issue. Workaround: use a USB Card Reader, Reformat the card with your Camera.
