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.

  • Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

    I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

    The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months.  If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months.  If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
    The other concern is whether your OS is new enough.  I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
    The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying.  Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then.  This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
    The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

  • LR 4 Not Importing RAW+JPEG

    Here's a strange one.
    Currently running Mac OS X 10.7.3, LR 3.6 installed as well as the 30-day demo of the release version of LR 4.0.  Importing from a camera-formatted Sandisk 8GB Extreme Pro (45MB/sec)
    Camera - Sony A77.
    Problem - Importing RAW+JPEG using LR4 only imports the RAW, not the JPEG.  I've already checked "Treat JPEGs as separate..." option in LR 4, yet when I pull up the import dialog about half the time I simply don't see the JPEGs next to my ARW files...only the ARW.  All import sorting options are off.
    I can then simultaneously open LR 3 and upon attempted import, I'm presented with all files just fine.
    Back to LR4 again, still only the ARW, even after "quitting" the app and reopening.
    It gets stranger, though - As I was typing this, I went ahead and tried to import again in LR4 and THIS time JPEGs are showing up along side RAW.  I even double-checked to make sure I was using LR4's window and now LR 3.
    Anyone else having this issue??

    Bumping this thread because I'm also having the problem. LR4 on Lion 10.7.3, never used the LR4b release. Only the first 10-20 images come in as NEF+JPG and after that I get only JPGs. Just imported six 8GB cards without realizing the problem, since it never used to be one...
    My workaround has been to manually transfer files off the card into the destination, and then 'Synchronize Folder..." in LR. The import dialoge that pops up has no problem showing all the files correctly, and they import without problems. This leads me to believe the bug has something to do with importing directly from the card or camera.
    I understand any major new release is bound to have some bugs, but this, in conjunction with LR4 crashing any time I try to print, is making the newest release pretty useless for me. The Library and Print modules account for 85% of my time in LR, with the Develop module accounting for the rest (Maps/Books/Slideshows/Web are never opened, ever). In the most abstract sense, LR is made for streamlining the input and output of images, and neither of those processes are working for me.

  • IPhoto 6.06 Will Not Import RAW CR2 files Taken Through an Uncoupled Lens

    If I use adapters to couple my Canon 20D to a telescope (which is an electronically uncoupled lens and has no lens-related exif data), iPhoto freezes and will not import a RAW Canon CR2 file taken through any telescope. It imports such jpegs just fine, and Preview can open either. iPhoto, however, must be forced to quit under the Apple menu.
    It doesn't matter where the RAW file is...in the camera, on the desktop, in a card reader, or on a CD.
    This is an obvious bug in iPhoto.

    Do you have access to an Apple store, or a friend
    with Aperture? It would be interesting to see if
    Aperture has the same problem.
    Not that it really matters, but a bug in both
    iPhoto and Aperture is more likely to be fixed!
    I don't know anybody who uses Aperture, and my nearest Apple Store is 120 miles away in Cincinnati.
    I'm able to work around the problem since Canon's Digital Photo Professional, working with Canon's EOS Utilty, imports and processes these images just fine, as does Photoshop CS.
    However, I miss the premise that iPhoto should be the central organizer and storage vessel for all of one's digital photos, making naming, finding, and backing them up a snap, even though a different program may be used for processsing them.
    As an aside, Canon's download site warns that EOS Utility 1.1.1 will not work on Intel Macs; it does...with full functionality.
    Thanks for your response.

  • How do I not import RAW files into iPhoto

    I shoot RAW + Jpeg with my cameras... Up until a recent upgrade to Mavericks... I would put the SD card in the iMac and it would import all the JPEGs, and then say something like 75 files could not be downloaded.
    Those were the large RAW files and I would then just move them to an External Hard-drive and use Lightroom and Canon's DPP to edit them.
    After the OS upgrade the RAW and JPEGs now both import into iPhoto and onto the Mac Hard-drive.
    I can't seem to find a way to not import the RAW file into iPhoto. Is there something I am missing?   I do not want those large RAW files wasting space on the mac, and I have notice iPhoto is really slow since the upgrade.  
    Thanks for any help

    A. To move an iPhoto Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    B. iPhoto and Raw
    1. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut).
    2. Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
    You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
    First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
    Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
    Now for the kludge:
    You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
    This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.
    Further - and this is quite a consideration: Lightroom is not an editor. Like iPhoto it's a database app and images need to be imported, processed and exported from it. It occupies the same place in the workflow (manager/non-destructive processing) as iPhoto does so in makes zero sense to use both...

  • PE11 will not import raw-file (.CR2) from Sony SX50.

    PE11 with camera raw 7.2 will not import .CR2 from Sony SX50.
    (Camera not supported...)
    Sony sx50 is on the list of supported cameras and .CR2 on the list of supported files!

    Hi,
    ACR 7.3 should aplly to PSE 11 - it is on mine.
    If you load the editor, go to the Help menu and see what it displays for About Plug-in -> Camera RAW - see which version is loaded.
    There should be an updates option too, towards the bottom of the list - I'm on a PC so it may be different if you are on a MAC

  • Why won't Lightroom 2.3 suddenly not import RAW files?

    Why can't I import RAW files into Lightroom 2.3? I've imported them for years, until today, after I installed a Canon  Pixma MX860 multi-purpose printer. Would this affect Lightroom? Now I get a Lightroom message: "The files could not be written." Tried to import from Canon 5D on a CF card and from a Panasonic Lumix on an SD card many times. Same result. I can pull the RAW files individually off the cards into Photoshop CS3 RAW window and adjust them, but can't on Lightroom. It won't automatically import the files and won't take them manually. Am using a PC with XP Professional. Any thoughts?

    Are you sure it's the same problem as that user had?
    What error message are you getting when you try to import a raw file?
    What camera?
    What version of LR?
    What computer and operating system?
    Did your ability to import raw files just suddenly stop, or have you never been able to import them?

  • IPhoto will not import raw OM-D EM-5 files

    My Olympus creates raw files in .orf format. iPhoto '09 will not import them, even though my camera (OM-D EM-5) is listed as being compatible. Any suggestions?

  • Sony A100 Will Not Import Raw Files on MacBook Pro

    I have Just got a Sony A100 and when I plug it into my Mac Book Pro 17 running 10.4.8 it will import the JPG images in OK but not the RAW images.
    But if I plug the same Camera into my Dual G5 running 10.4.8 or the Intel Mac Mini also running 10.4.8 both the JPG's and the RAW files are imported OK.
    On the bases that this is not a hardware fault the only software differance I can see from the MB Pro 17 and the other computers is that the MB Pro shippend with 10.4.8 and the other two Mac's where upgraded to 10.4.8 from 10.4.7.
    So the Question is how can I update the camera import functions on the MB Pro to import the RAW format file like the other two nice Mac's?
    Regards

    Sony RX2 is supported in ACR7.2 and higher whereas PSE10 can go as high as ACR6.3
    Thus you wont be able to open your raw files directly into ACR. You might want to download DNG convertor(version 7.2 or higher) and use it to convert your raw files to a different raw format (.dng) which is supported by all ACR versions.

  • Canon 30d and iphoto 6...will not import RAW

    I'm a bit confused with iphoto 6, I know it supports Raw and my 30d... but everytime I import(or rather attept to import) RAW format it gives me an error message?????
    however jpg. are no problem....what am I doing wrong?
    thanks

    I have the same experience with Iphoto5, although Preview seems to be able to open the 39D .cr2 files. I don't think Adobe has released the patch for the Canon 30D which will allow it to handle Canon's version of Raw.

  • Photos not importing raw pef ( pentax raw ) files

    Hi,
    recently updated my 2010 macbook pro to the latest version of mavericks.
    All my previously imported files are there - jpg, and raw, but trying to import some new photos it seems that only jpg's are being imported.
    My pentax k10d is set to save in pef format as they are smaller than the adobe format raw photos.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to import raw?
    The saved photos on the sd card have the same name for both raw and jpg - only the extension is different.
    I've checked in photos to see if there is a raw file 'behind' the jpg but the options for reprocessing raw and 'use raw as original' are greyed out. I can see that all the files are on the sd card in finder - I even tried dragging the raw files to the photos app from finder with no success.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The RAW files of your camera are supported by MacOS X 10.10.x.
    My pentax k10d is set to save in pef format as they are smaller than the adobe format raw photos.
    That may be the problem. For some supported cameras only the uncompressed RAW files are supported.  Have you tried to take a picture with uncompressed RAW? Will that be imported by Photos?

  • Lightroom 1.2 not importing RAW (CR2) files from 40D

    Just upgraded to LR 1.2 and thought it would solve my problems but find that it doesnt appear to import CR2 files, either directly from a card reader or from a file already saved to the computer. It says files use an unsupported color mode. These were shot in RAW (not sRAW) + JPG and others were just RAW.
    Do I need to change any setting in Lightroom to make it work with the new RAW settings?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Ooops... Me bad. It works fine. For some reason 1.2 didnt install the first time I ran the installer. After finding that it was still 1.1, I ran the installer again and it took. Now its importing 40D files just fine.
    Sorry for the false alarm.

  • Aperture 3.0 not importing RAW files from Canon T1i

    I have recently upgraded to Aperture 3.0. I shoot with Canon T1i in RAW+JPG file size. When importing files from Canon T1i for the first time to Aperture 3.0, I found that all files imported as jpg not RAW. How do I get the RAW files? Help!!!
    Anjali

    It does support Canon T1i RAW mode. In the "Import Settings", there's a section for "RAW+JPEG Pairs". If you don't see this, click the "Import Settings" pulldown menu and select it.
    In the "RAW+JPEG Pairs" section, there's a pulldown menu to allow you to select "Both (RAW as Master)"
    It'll use the JPEG as the "Preview" image, but it will use the RAW as the master for all adjustments you want to perform.
    Prior to the import, you should see both the JPEG and RAW (.CR2) files. AFTER the import, you should only see the RAW in your project (it has the JPEG... but it wont normally display it because it knows the RAW is the master.) After the import, select any photo in your project, then click the "metadata" tab on the left. At the top it should give you the camera, lens, exposure info, etc. and you should see the "RAW" icon.
