LR4.3, Import D700 .NEF, settings don't match Nikon Transfer

Hello, I'm trying to use Lightroom for the first time. I've always used Nikon Transfer / View to import images from the camera and was trying to import my pictures into LR4. I've tried several methods to import: 1). download to computer with Nikon Transfer then import into LR4, 2). download to computer using windows then import, 3). download / import directly into LR4. The results all seem to be the same. The problem that I'm seeing is that if I look at the picture (on the same monitor) with Nikon View vs. LR4 there is both a difference on exposure and color balance. The color is most stricking. The Basic settings panel shows that even though I took the picture using daylight white balance (which for the D700 should be 5200K - I've confirmed I don't have any offsets / custom white balance settings), LR4 is reading 5000K and a Tint of -6. Any idea of getting the correct readings in LR4 here?

Trying to get there. I'm seeing several profiles listed with different years, e.g. 2003, 2010, 2012.
Those are processing versions, which affect rendering detail and image quality, but don't much affect intrinsic coloration.

Each one seems to have mostly the same profiles listed and v4 versions of several of them.
Right, so to have intrinisc coloration most like the camera rendering, choose a matching profile (they're even called "camera matching" or "camera emulation" profiles).

I'm trying to research online what is meant for the D700 right now.
Lightroom only presents profiles that are meant for the D700 (or whatever model was used to shoot).

I'm also seeing missing settings such as Active D Lighting (although I thought this was applied to the image at capture time and is not a post-processing option).
Active D Lighting effect is baked into the in-camera jpeg/preview, but not the raw data. PS - Lightroom doesn't try to emulate ADL or other such settings...

  • Sequence Settings Don't Match

    Good evening.
    I'm using FCP6 to edit video shot on a DVX100B in 24p Squeeze Mode. When I setup a new project I choose the following:
    Format: (all formats) Rate: (all rates)
    Use: DV NTSC 23.98 Advanced Pulldown Removal Anamorphic (a custom setting)
    When I drop my first clip into the time line I inevitably get the following message:
    "Attention- This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets.
    For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
    Change sequence settings to match the clip settings?"
    Is there something I'm doing incorrectly, or should I just expect this and always allow FCP to change my sequence settings?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi,
    that is normal message when your source material and your sequence settings don't match.
    If you check from your media browser the item properties for your source material and then compare that with the sequence parameters, you will see something either in audio or video that doesn't match.
    May be you've got anamorphic material and your sequence was not set with the anamorphic flag on.
    Answering yes to that form will make sure you won't have to render all time you add a clip to your timeline.
    Regards,
    Armando.

  • Organizer in Photoshop Elements 9 won't import large NEF files

    Photoshop Elements 9 won't import the NEF fiels from my new Nikon D800.

    Yes, the camera is too new for PSE9. You will have to either:
    Upgrade to PSE11
    Download the free Adobe DNG Converter Version 7.3 and use that to convert your NEFs to DNGs, and then PSE9 will be able to import them
    Use the Nikon software to convert the file to TIF, then import into PSE.

  • Video/sound don't match all of a sudden!

    Adding some sound and music to a 20 minute movie using Logic. Things were fine for a while but now the video is slightly behind the audio. Can't figure for the life of me why. Any help?

    many thanks for reply. but i'm finding that even if i redo it, add movie than import audio, they still don't match up and i'm sure they did in the first while that i worked on this. how weird. any thoughts are MUCH appreciated.

  • Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?

    Hi!
    I'm trying to repack Firefox 3.6.3 into a MSI for a deployment install trough-out our organization. Since we're using Explorer as the default browser at the moment our users have all their bookmarks and such stored in Explorer. Now I'm wondering..
    Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?
    -Without having the wizard popup.
    I also don't want Firefox to be the default browser since the users have to decide for them self. But atleast they have there bookmarks / defaultpage and proxy settings if they decide to go for Firefox.
    Regards
    //MSI-Packager

    I'm not sure if you have the capability, but did you try copying from your premiere sequence and then pasting into your after fx timeline? i was working with a MUCH shorter video with a mix of merged clips (interview footage) and video clips (b-roll). the video clips imported, but the merged clips did not. i put the timeline cursor to the right point in the after fx timeline, copied the premiere clip from the sequence, pasted it into after fx.

  • Problem with JPGs Downlaoded with Nikon Transfer - Can't Apply Develop Settings in Bridge CS4 and ACR 5.3 Settings Don't Stick

    I have found what I believe is a "problem" with JPGs downloaded using Nikon Transfer (ver 1.4.1) and processing same in Adobe Bridge CS4 (Develop Settings) and/or Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 (Photoshop CS4 and Elements 6 as hosts).
    Anyone using these programs in their workflow?
    The problem, quite simply, is that neither ACR settings (nor Bridge CS4 Develop Settings) "stick" when applied to JPGs that have been downloaded via Nikon Transfer ver 1.4.1.
    The same images from the same cameras (D300 and D90), downloaded moments later using Nikon's predecessor software PictureProject work just fine in both Bridge and ACR.  Develop Settings appled in Bridge immediately are seen, and JPGs opened in ACR, and settings applied, then "Done" immediately stick and are reflected in Bridge.
    If someone else is processing their JPGs in this manner, please let me know, as I have reported the problem to both Nikon and Adobe, and although I have tested it on two different cameras and two differnt laptops, I would like to get an impartial result as well.
    One other test, the problem does not seem to affect Nikon's RAW (NEF) format files downloaded from a D2x using Nikon Transfer.  More/different test are forthcoming.
    Thanks

    Can't say one way or another on that statement about using manufacturers' software.  Since Adobe has to interpret each camera models' RAW format having the latest ACR seems to be the best option.  But if the manufacturers' software is more convenient, and you get the same results then use it.  But it does appear you are not getting what you want, so suggest you try a duplicate test run with images straight from the card reader to Bridge and see if you still have same problems.
    I do know it is widely recommended that using a quality card reader gives you more reliable data than getting the pictures straight from the camera.  Does not seem intuitive, but that has been experience of many.

  • I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

    I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

    The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
    iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

  • Import and Export settings and presets

    Thanks in advance.
    Where can I save all the different import and export settings? Like if I just want to export Quicktime with audio and save that setting so I don't have to reset it every time. Thanks

    I don't think you can in QT... You can in FCP by selecting CUSTOM as your setting when exporting to QT. Just rename the settings from custom to what you'd like it to be.

  • Raw Images (Nikon D700 NEFs) suddenly turn unsupported

    Hi there,
    for some of my managed Nikon D700 NEFs I start geeting an 'unsupported image format' error. I worked with those files a couple of months ago and everything was fine, no errors. So, the problem must have came up recently. The files wont show up in Preview neither but open fine in Capture NX2 which brings me to the assumption, that it is an OS X raw compatability issue.
    I browsed through the related discussions but couldn't find a way that resolved the problem. What puzzles me is the fact, that obviously only few people are experiencing similar issues. I'm afraid, that something might be "broken" in my system installation. To double check this I would like to provide one of my unrecognized NEF files:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/1sx5bsr794xvbmj/_DSC7035.NEF
    If this file works for you, it's not an Aperture issue, but a single problem on my (few) machine(s). The answer to this would be of great help in finding the right fix. Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks!

    Thanks Leonie, Thanks Jerry.
    Leonie,
    I flipped through my library. It seems that the problem started first with pics, I imported March 2011. Prior imports look fine. (Interestingly it started right after an air trip. But if the security scans somehow damaged my cards and subsequently the pics, why would you be able to open them...? )
    I can't find anything which could be special about the relevant files: In fact I sometimes shot a series of pics of the same subject in a row. Some work, some are unsupported. The filenames I didn't change (standard out of camera format "_DSC####.NEF", file system is Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) btw.).
    I tried all of the 3 troubleshooting steps of Aperture several times. I tried repairing permissions for the whole drive. I also tried importing directly from camera besides using a card reader, both, into existing and new libraries. Importing pics from iPhone and an old Lumix is ok (but these are not raw...).
    I will try a different user account and report back.
    Many thanks again to all for your help.

  • LR4.4 AND D800 NEF FILES

    I attempted to load several photos from my new D800 on LR4.4, actually it was add.  About the first 10 photos had an error message which read Preview not available for NEF files.  The other 59 or so pics downloaded with not issue, it was just the first 10 or so.  later I noticed that all the ones that were loaded were 8bit.  I think the ones that wouldn't  preview were 14 bit.  I processed those in CS6, saved as a TIFF, saved back to my external HD and added them to LR.  I'm using a new iMac 27" (less than 2 mos old).  Using Mac Mountain Lion as the operating system.  Is there a 14 bit issue with LR and the NEF files for the Nikon  D800?

    I have my D800 set to 14 bit, just as my previous Nikons. No problem there.
    Raw files are in any case encoded into 16 bit in Lightroom. 8 bit files either have to be jpegs (jpeg only supports 8 bit), or they have been exported as 8 bit rendered files from Lightroom.
    The "Add" option is not available when you import from a card reader, you only have "copy" and "copy as DNG". So have you transfered the files onto your computer with an old version of Nikon Transfer? It's known to corrupt files so that Lightroom can't read them (the newer versions are OK). I think View NX did that too.
    The CDs that came with my D800 are still in their plastic wrapping and I've no intention to touch them, whatever they contain.

  • Have latest Camera Raw 8.7, cant open D700 NEFs

    I updated to the latest version of Camera Raw for Photoshop, but it wont open NEFs from my nikon D700 despite the fact that the D700 requires 4.6 or 5.1 or later to open...
    Am I doing something wrong? Does the D700 require an EARLIER version of Camera Raw???
    Thanks!

    8.7 will open all preceding cameras, as well, so that’s not the problem.
    It is likely that your NEFs were touched by obsolete Nikon software like Nikon Transfer or View NX and this corrupts the NEFs slightly so that Adobe software cannot use them.
    You can test for this scenario by not using any Nikon software with some new NEFs, instead using Bridge or native Mac/PC software to transfer and view the images prior to opening in PS/ACR.
    If the files are important, you can reverse the corruption using the following utility:

  • Lr4 not importing raw (RW2)

    I've upgraded from Lr3, which was configured for importing raw & jpg, and keeping them independent.  I've installed Lr4, and imported/upgraded that Lr3 library, but the Lr4 import ignores the raw files.  I don't know if it's because it cannot read the Panasonic G3 raw format (RW2), or if I've configured something wrong, or if it's a bug(?)  Please advise ...
    Edit:  I was successful with importing the raw files to the same location with Lr3, and Lr4 does sync these RW2 files, so it's not a problem with reading the raw data ... but seemingly something to do with configuring the import ... but I cannot find where to enable importing the raw.  Lr4 was/is configured for enabling "Treat JPEG next to raw files as separate photos".

    Do you have a global filter that is restricting RW2 files from being viewed?  File Type is one of the Metadata filter possibilities so it could be set.  Try importing a NEW RW2 w/o a JPG and see what happens.  Also, try importing from your internal hard-drive, to narrow down if the source is part of the issue.
    I'm not sure how a global filter would affect Lr4 and not Lr3(?)  ... and I'm not also sure a metadata filter would affect the memory card (or its reader) and not the harddrive(?)
    Regarding the harddrive test you suggest ... I first copied a pair (jpg+rw2) of files to a "test" folder, and Lr4 saw both (but I cancelled).  I then inserted the SD card, and tried to import, but Lr4 saw only the JPGs.  I then copied all of the files to the same "test" folder, and imported all of them, RW2s included.
    I suppose I also have to assume it could be a problem with the memory card -- it is a Sandisk 16Gb "Extreme Pro", that works well in every other respect.  I've first assumed it's a problem with a new software, but I'll ask around to see if anyone has experienced similar problems with the SD card of the SD card reader.

  • Creating smart collections using Import Smart Collection settings

    Does anybody know if I can create smart collections using Import Smart collection settings? Where can I find any information on this other than Photo collections? In particular, I am interested in what to do with the ID.

    I'll try to explain the best I can. I am trying to improve my workflow.
    I have been a little lazy with my workflow, I don't rate by images for 2 reasons: 1) I haven't found a rating system I am comfortable with (we might have discussed this on another thread), and 2) I am not very good at critically assessing my own photo graphic work. This means I have very often jumped to the develop module to adjust an image without ever bother to rate them (almost 20% of my catalog).
    I have also rated some images and never touched them.
    So I have a need to find images I have rated and adjusted, images I have rated and not adjusted, and images I have adjusted and not rated.
    Now, my photographers vision and knowledge have both changed substantially over the past 5 years. So to make the task more manageable I am trying to divide my catalog into 3 collections per year:
    1 - Rated and adjusted
    2 - Rated and not adjusted
    3 - Adjusted and not rated
    The assumption is that this is the bit of the catalog worth looking at and re-organise first. I know that anything I edited last year would have been more proficiently edited that anything I edited in 2010.
    Does it make some sense?

  • Elements 11 import of NEF files fails

I have Camera Raw 7.4 installed.  When I try to import new NEF files, it get's about 95% done and it says Import Failed. Nothing was imported.  The fields or files selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog.
    They are not in the catalog.  What is all of a sudden wrong?
