LR 4 won't import selected raw images

I just imported approximately 1500 raw images shot with my Nikon D800. Approximately 75 of the files would not import and I got LR4 unable to import message for those files.
All images were NEFs and most seem to be in clusters among the 1500 files.
The images all show up in CS5 Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 and open just fine in Photoshop CS5. They will show up in LR4 if I convert them to DNGs.
I just figured out that this is happening only with images that were shot at a 16:9 ratio, all other images were shot at the default 2:3 ratio. I would still like to understand why images shot at 16:9 won't show up in LR4.
Any idea what is happening?  Thank you.

Is it 4.0 or 4.1RC2?
Earlier builds had problems with either Live View or pictures taken during
video recording.

  • IPhoto 7.1 won't import .CR2 (RAW) image files

    I'm shooting with a Canon 30D, and had no problem importing RAW images (.CR2 files) into iPhoto 08. However, after installing the update for iPhoto 7.1, I get an error message saying that the .CR2 file type isn't recognized. What the ****?
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    My understanding is that iPhoto is able to read RAW files that the underlying OS can handle (which is why you see updated RAW compatibility added with various OS updates).
    I have a 30D and have upgraded to 7.1
    I just opened a folder of CR2 files and dragged and dropped into iPhoto and they imported fine. I have not tried downloading direct from camera as I tend to copy things over using a card reader.
    So, in terms of troubleshooting, I suggest:
    1 - can you see open the CR2 using preview? If not sounds like an OS issue.
    2 - can you see thumbnails of the CR2 if they're in a folder somewhere? If not consider if the CR2 are corrupted.
    3 - If no to 2, then can you open the images using other (Canon) software?
    If yes to 1 and 2, the it's likely to be an iPhoto issue.

  • Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

    Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
    Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
    Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
    Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
    Corrupt catalog?
    When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
    After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
    Any help?
    Best,
    Peter

    Thanks dj_paige.
    I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
    After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
    In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
    I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
    It took about a half hour to run.
    There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
    I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
    I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
    I only use one catalog at this point.
    My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
    I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Peter

  • Incorrect colors after importing a RAW image into LR

    I shoot in RAW mode using Canon EOS 400D.
    After importing RAW images into LR, EVERY image I shot gets oversaturated with green-yellow colors. If I open same image in C1 Pro colors look fine.
    If I change shooting mode on my camera to JPG (using sRGB color space) and import image into LR, colors look same as on RAW image in C1 Pro. All settings in LR and C1 Pro are set to default.
    My guess is that LR applies wrong (camera?) profile when it imports a RAW image. I don't think it's a difference in RAW converters, because the difference in colors is really huge.
    In the Camera Calibration panel I see ACR 3.6 profile selected and all settings are set to 0. Using sliders I can correct colors on image, but I failed to make a generic preset that could be applied on all imported RAW images.
    My monitor (Samsung 940BF) is setup to use manufacturer ICC profile. I tried to change it to sRGB or Adobe RGB, it doesn't help. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
    Any thoughts on how to return colors back to normal?
    Here are 2 examples of the same image converted by:
    1. LR

    Morey,
    there is no such options as "import settings into LR" you have to put the ACR-settings-file into the "~/Library/Adobe Lightroom/Develop Presets" folder (on a Mac). I think in the end its faster to just copy the numbers manually from ACR and save the preset from within LR.
    No, I don't think that calibrating has anything to do with profiles, at least not from what I understand as a profile (like sRGB or ProPhoto profile). It is kind of changing the stored default calibration values for a given camera type (something which one of course could also call a profile). It is definitive not like doing any double profiling or so.
    @Lee Jay,
    on different forums you can find values for ACR camera calibration of different cameras, googling should reveal some. Problem is that the numbers for the calibration change with the lens and, more important, there seems to be a lot of leeway regarding the behaviour of individual cameras of the same model. I found a lot of numbers on the net which didn't work with my D70, in the end I had to calibrate it myself. But your experience might differ, so I would suggest that you just have a look at what google offers.
    One last thing: You don't need to buy a PS version which is compatible with ACR 3.7 or 4.0. You can use the 30 day trial version of PS for this. Afterall you most probably only need to calibrate each camera once and I doubt that Adobe disapproves this use of a trial version as long as it helps to sell LR. ;-)
    Bye,

  • Importing Photoshop RAW images into Aperture

    When I import Photoshop RAW images that I have made adjustments to, into my Aperture library, they show up as the original RAW files and not with my adjustments. Is there a way to get the RAW adjustments imported as well.
    The only reason I need to import them into Aperture is to post them in a web gallery. Or is there a way to create a ME web gallery directly from Photoshop files? How about creating a ME web gallery directly from Lightroom? Anybody have a clue?)
    (Btw, in attemtpting to research this topic, I find I am totally unable to do a search of the discussions. Even with a search word like "Aperture", I get no messages. Not matter what search word I enter I get no messages found. ???)
    Thanks!
    Jim

    Thanks for the reply Allen.
    I am saving them all as TIFFS now. I was just trying to avoid that time-consuming step. I do not really need them as TIFFS right now. It is to show edited RAW files to a client. Later, when selections are made, I would save that much smaller number of images as TIFFS. But it seems that there is no other way to import the RAW files with the edits into Aperture.
    I used to create all of my web albums for clients in PS. But once I got a .mac account, I love and prefer the look of the .mac web galleries. But of course that necessitated importing all my PS files into either iPhoto (not an option) or Aperture. But can these PS web galleries be exported to a .mac web gallery?
    Thanks!

  • Why won't iPhoto import D700 RAW images?

    Yesterday I tried to import 809 RAW (NEF) images from my Nikon D700 camera into the iPhoto program on a friend's iMac. It imported one image, but refused to import the remaining 808! I don't understand why it didn't accept the whole batch.
    The iMac in question is a 20" Intel unit purchased new in 2006. The OS system has been upgraded to Leopard (version 10.5.8) and iPhoto to version 8.1.2. There's still plenty of available space (145 GB) on the hard drive.
    Any ideas on what the problem might be and how to remedy it?
    Bob

    Larry,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I can confirm that D700 RAW images were downloadable to earlier versions of iPhoto than iPhoto '11.
    Until January 2012 I had a 20" Intel iMac purchsed in 2007 that was very similar to that of my friend. It also had Leopard  and iPhoto '09, and I was able to download D700 RAW images to it. In fact, one of the main reasons I upgraded that iMac from Tiger and iPhoto '06 to Leopard and iPhoto '09 was so that I could download D700 RAW images.
    I now have a new 27" iMac with Lion and iPhoto '11 and have no problems downloading D700 RAW images.
    I remain puzzled why the D700 RAW files--with the exception of one--wouldn't download to my friend's  iMac.

  • Why won't my edited RAW images show after a LR re-install onto a new Hard Drive?

    Hi there. Recently my hard drive took a (hike) and crashed - data may or may not be recoverable (Geeks are working on that), and I needed to reinstall my CS5 and Lightroom software to a new hard drive (I had to buy a new one). All of my RAW photos are stored on an external drive and were not harmed, thankfully.  Here is my dilemma. Most of the presets I used also went crashing with that hard drive, (yes I believe they were backed up but also on that hard drive...stupid I know-trust me I know!!) but most of them were the free ones from the adobe recommended users on this site. I actually found many of my favorites still posted on the Adobe site and re-downloaded and installed the presets I'd been using the past year and a half, and imade sure those presets were housed properly in their folder via Preferences in Lightroom. Great. I can continue on with my work. WRONG! When I went to go import a recent shoot that I had already edited, it imported the RAW files but none of the previous edits I had worked on for these photos were showing up...it was as if I didn't even touch them and they came right from my camera. What in the world is going on? I'm baffled...and freaking out as I have thousands upon thousands of edited shoots in RAW, and I fear that none of the edits and enhancements made to those photos are going to be present and I'll have to start over. Please tell me that all of my last 2 years of editing photos are still with the RAW files?!!!
    I found a deal on a an HP Intell Core i7 processor) 2 TB hard drive tower, so I ended up needing to install the 64 bit versions of CS5 and Lightroom 3.6.
    I did test out the RAW (.NEF) file in Photoshop CS5 and my edited RAW image came up "correctly" - so I know that the information is still with the RAW image...I just need it to work and show in lightroom, as it is easier to export the files to the sizes I need them to be.
    Please be kind in your replies...I appreciate any help/guidance I can get on this. Plus the photos I need are for Seniors graduating in a few months here so you can imagine the panic mode is just a bit higher than normal. Many thanks.

    The default location for the backups created by Lightroom on exit is in the same folder as the catalog itself (i.e. that would be on the same faulty drive). It is, however, possible to redirect those backups to a different destination, such as a different hard drive.....but only you know if you did that or not. Do you have any other backups, e.g. drive level backups?
    Just to be clear, if you are importing afresh into a new catalog from Raw files that do have XMP sidecar files, you should see the final edited state from the previous catalog, but you won't see the individual history steps that got you there (as that's one of the things that are not included when you write XMP data from within Lightroom). If there is no XMP sidecar, you'll just get the original OOC image.

  • Development of imported nikon raw images - too strong?

    Hi everybody,
    I have what is probably a basic question for Aperture 3, but couldnt help me otherwise.
    I am shooting with two Nikon-cameras in RAW-format.
    I kept noticing, that when I import my images into aperture, when I select the image for the very first time to view it, the machine keeps "loading" it for approx 1-2 seconds, and then the colours are quite different and also some lines.
    So what seems to happen is some kind of interpretation of the RAW-image, probably i am seeing a JPG-preview image from the cam before that?
    However, it seems to me that the colours get a little bit too intense, eg faces tend to get a little red quickly
    Also, I just noticed that a pillar of a building, which has been quite straigt in preview, seemed to be a little more curvy after this process, so its probably some lense correction or aspheric correction working.
    I do want to keep on shooting in RAW, but I have no clue, if there is any way to influence what Aperture does (automatically) with all those pictures, can you help me out?
    thanks!

    Check the "Raw Fine Tuning" settings in the adjustment brick.
    If "Raw Fine Tuning" is not showing, add it to your default adjustments after selecting one of your raws. Then click the cogwheel and add the adjustment to your default set.
    I'd try to adjust the "Boost" and "Hue Boost" sliders.
    Once you are happy with the result, click the cogwheel and save the new setting as a camera default preset.
    Perhaps the preset that Aperture is using for your camera is using is faulty.

  • IMPORTING NEF (RAW) IMAGES INTO iPHOTO 6 FROM NIKON D80

    I have just got my self a Nikon D80 and find that I cannon import the NEF(RAW) images into iphoto6 - the files are not recognised - if I shoot in jpeg format it is fine
    Bit of a disappointment as I was really excited to see what the ophotos would come out like! I have not imported the software that came with the camera - but I didnt think that was necessary.
    Any help gratefully received

    What kind of computer do you have? What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto? Have you applied the RAW updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads?

  • Fcpx import dng raw image

    Fcpx import of a raw image is advertised to work in its help databases, but it actually doesnt work.
    I tested the most known and now industry standard Raw format, which is the Adobe DNG raw format, and FCPX ignores the embedded jpg preview .
    i tried older versions of the Adobe DNG Raw formats imports , and also tried to update the embedded preview images to all variations offered by the adobe Dng raw converter , but even all those tests showed that FCPX is ignoring the previews of these now industry standard RAw images.
    needless to say that it is likely that none of the other lesser important raw formats, like the CR2 from Canon or others will not work.
    this here is a message to the Apple FCPX developpers , who seems to think a Formula one car can drive with just 3 wheels....

  • How to import only RAW images from folder with RAW & JPEGs?

    My system is set up that I have both RAW & JPEGs in the same folder since I shoot JPEG+RAW. How can I import just the raw images without also sucking in the jpegs? There is no way to distinguish the difference in the Import box and also no way to easily separate the the two in the Import box. I've tried using the List View and separting them by File Size, but Aperture has a stupid bug here and it tells me that the JPEG file sizes are in the teens (like 17-18 megs) and they are still hard to separate from the RAW which are about the same size.
    Why can't Aperture do this basic thing?

    I'm not doing anything. What I wrote in my workflow example above is exactly what I'm doing. I've been trying some experiments to see if it was "A Better Finder Rename" that is causing the issue. So far, no go. I have taken just a couple of JPGs only and pointed Aperture's Import to the folder that contains them. Aperture is reading that there are only 2 jpegs (which is what there is) and their file size is right on the mark.
    Ok. I just narrowed it down to something. The flaw is showing up after the RAW files are converted to DNGs. The JPEGs do not show up in the Import box when there are camera raw files like NEFs or CR2s and the corresponding JPEGs. That is Aperture's normal behaviour. But, and this is a big BUT, when the raw files are converted to DNGs and they are in the same folder as the corresponding JPEGs, that's when Aperture pulls its shenanigans. It has something to do with the JPEGs and DNGs having the same name. Even though the files have different extensions, Aperture is doing something to the file size of the JPEGs that make them seem that they are much larger files than they actually are.
    I figured it out like this:
    I had 2 CR2 files and the corresponding JPEGs in a folder. Pointing Aperture's Import to that folder, Aperture did what it is supposed to do; it saw only 2 raw files (doesn't matter that the G9 CR2 files are not supported yet). So, I renamed all the files using A Better Finder Rename and Aperture still only saw 2 raw files.
    So far so good.
    Then, I converted just the 2 CR2 files to DNG and kept them in the same folder. Aperture saw 2 DNGs and 2 CR2 files. No jpegs were seen. Business as usual. Then I removed the CR2s and renamed the jpegs so they had the same names as the DNGs (except for of course different extensions) and that's when Aperture saw the jpegs as separate files and saw them with bogus file sizes.
    So I tested that by altering the jpeg names so that they were different from their corresponding DNGs and Aperture went back to seeing the jpegs with the correct file sizes.
    Therefore, Aperture is having some difficulty with two separate files, one JPEG and the other DNG, when they both have the same name (different extensions, of course).
    Try it if you have a moment. Take one raw file and convert it to DNG and place it in a folder with its corresponding jpeg. Rename both to the same name and different extensions (.dng + .jpg) and see what happens when you try to get Aperture to import. Chance are Aperture will show bogus file sizes for the jpeg.
    Let me know if that's clear.

  • I have a Canon EOS T2i Camera and I want to import the RAW images into Aperture.  How do I import them as RAW images instead of jpeg ?

    How do I import RAW images from my Canon EOS T2i camera into Aperture and have them show up as RAW images and not jpeg images?

    See the list of supported raw formats:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    The footnote ** for the cameras  EOS Rebel T2i EF-S / 550D / Kiss X4**  says, that the raw format is only supported with Aperture 3. So you will have to upgrade to Aperture 3, to be able to import the raw from from your camera.

  • Importing selection of images is unnecessarily difficult?

    I've been trying to figure out how to import a selection of images from a card and, so far, it's got me beat. I can see how to select the files (draw a box, command+click, etc) but I can't figure out how to check them. I see the "check all" and "uncheck all" option, but I don't see an option to 'check selected" (or something similar) anywhere. I'm gonna be decidedly unhappy if I'm expected to check the actual check box manually with approx 350 files to select out of 600 or so. Am I just completely over looking how to quickly select these files?
    EDIT: OK, I figured out that I could check one of the boxes and all the other boxes for selected files would check themselves. Sorry, but that was NOT intuitive.

    I'm afraid that in a program with as many features as Aperture 3 you will find many things that aren't intuitive for you. That's why there are manuals, help files and keyboard shortcuts cards.
    Certainly a fair criticism, but in a program as robust as Aperture 3, a fairly "normal" objective should either be intuitive or should have a clear "click me" type of option. This particular action has no keyboard shortcut (that I could find) and here is entry from the help manual (online) on "selecting a subset of files":
    +"To import a subset of files from the selected folder: Select the checkboxes for the files you want to import. If you only want to import a small number of files out of many, click the Uncheck All button to clear the checkboxes for all files, and then select the checkboxes for the files you want to import."+
    That is clearly an instruction to click each individual box and makes no mention of drawing a box around certain files (or command/shift-clicking certain files) and then checking one box. It does not mention the solution laid out above. Whether this particular approach is detailed later is something I do not yet know. Since this particular action is not apparent in the help, the new user is expected to somehow intuit this particular step and, from my perspective, it is most certainly NOT intuitive. I think a "Check Selected" option would have been a definite improvement.
    Yes, I know Aperture 3 will confuse me at certain points, but something as critical as importing should be a little less opaque to the new user...

  • Why can't I import CR2(raw) images

    I just purchased Adobe PS Elements 8 to replace my 5.0. I was able to import pictures from my Canon Rebel xsi 450, via usb wire, except the CR2(raw) images. Once the import gets to these I get a pop up that states "Elements Organizer cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged, and try again." My battery is fully charged and I disconnected and reconnected 2 x's. Why can't I import these photos?

    My mistake, I was in a rush when I posted it.  I ran some tests, and think I answered my own question:
    It's a Canon T2i...  Yes, I know I need Camera Raw 5.7.  But when I try to install the RC of 5.7, I just get a message that it cannot be installed, please click quit (perhaps it only works with Photoshop cs4, not Elements 8?).   So, as a test I loaded 5.6 (for Elements), and then tried to open a 7D cr2 file (which should be supported).  It works fine...  So, I'm wondering if I need to load a whole new version 5.7 to load the T2i files or if I can just load the 8Bi file from the new version?  I'm not sure where that file would be in the install package.  I have a feeling I'll just have to wait for the full version of 5.7 to come out...
    Thanks for your reply.
