Pentax K-7 support in Lightroom 2.4 not quite complete?

Hi,
I have my K-7, and Lightroom 2.4 installed. Lightroom reads K-7 pefs and dngs, but doesn't seem to do anything with the lens aberration info included in the pef files when that feature is enabled. Am I correct, and if so, is this just temporary, or a permanent situation? My understanding is that Lightroom does recognize and use the lens aberration info included in raw files created by the Panasonic DMC LX3 camera.
I understand that Adobe has updated the DNG standard to support the inclusion of such info in dng files. But no camera currently on the market supports this standard yet of course.
Just wonderin'
Mike

but doesn't seem to do anything with the lens aberration info included in the pef files when that feature is enabled. Am I correct, and if so, is this just temporary, or a permanent situation?
That is correct. Lightroom cannot read and use any lens aberration info from cameras other than the Panasonic LX3 and Leica that uses the exact same sensor, lens and electronics. This is in there because Panasonic would not allow Lightroom/ACR to render their RAW files without Adobe correcting for the distortion. They were worried people would see that their lens distorts and fringes very strongly if you would just get a straight RAW rendering.
Nobody knows whether the corrections will will be added to LR/ACR in the future for other cameras, but it would be an obvious next step. Very likely would be automatic LCA correction and barrel/pincushion distortion correction (perhaps not automatic but a simple slider like in the lens distortion correction in Photoshop)
I understand that Adobe has updated the DNG standard to support the inclusion of such info in dng files. But no camera currently on the market supports this standard yet of course.
Correct on both. We'll see what Adobe does next.

  • "The file is from a camera that is not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom"

    I get this error message every time I try to upload raw files to lightroom 4 on my mac. I have a nikon d600, So the camera is supported by lightroom. Furthermore, I have downloaded these same files, with no problem, on my desktop in lightroom.

    If you are downloading straight from the camera it is fraught with problems.
    Numerous different cameras from different manufacturers don't play nicely with Lightroom (it may be the other way around too).

  • Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files support in Lightroom 4

      http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/07/camera-raw-8-6-and-dng-converter-8-6-now-a vailable.html
    The above says that Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files are supported in camera raw 8.6.  I specifically checked before buying the camera.  Everything I have ever read on the Adobe website for some 3+ years said that if a file in supported in Adobe Camera RAW, it is also supported in Lightroom.  Particularly, the above URL did NOT give any warning about the FZ10000 RAW files NOT being supported in Lightroom 4.  I went ahead and purchased the FZ1000, only to find I'm now having problem with Lightroom 4 not recognising the RAW files at all.  I'm really annoyed, as I was so careful to check the Adobe website first.  WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH CAMERA RAW AND LIGHTROOM?????

    I do appreciate the many RAW file formats being created by the camera manufacturers, as I have had varying cameras with the varying formats, and so am very aware of the whole business of making sure how those formats will fit into my software.  And, as already stated, appreciate Adobe's efforts to deal with all those formats.
    This whole exercise has been upsetting, and there has been some good advice and info provided in this discussion. 
    And unfortunately, some input that has been a little too technical and not particularly helpful.  I feel that some of the input was a little too critical and didn't recognise that maybe some of us aren't so are highly involved and knowledgeable in Adobe products and the technicalities of how the software works, dot versioning of software, executable coding etc. because we don't need to, and shouldn't have to.  I have bothered to learn Lightroom well in terms of its functionality including matters raised by you (eg making LRoom edits visible in other software, knowing that LR is not making changes to the actual files, rather they are in sidecar or xmp files etc.).  I have bothered to learn a reasonable amount of computer-related info to understand things in plain English terms, such as "to have PShop and LRoom to recognise my RAW files, I need to have ACR.  To have them run on my PC, they must be compatible with Windows operating system version xxx.  For many people, this level of knowledge should be enough.
    I have NOT said I expect Adobe to get advance copies of file formats from manufacturers;  I have NOT said that I expect Adobe to support every new camera model immediately.
    The technicalities of the coding and whether Lightroom "uses" the ACR plug in or not is not quite so much the issue, and I don't find the statement that "Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in" helpful.  I don't think it's really right either.  Lightroom - one way or the other - DOES "USE" ACR as the ability of Lightroom to recognise files is very much dependent on the version of ACR that you have.  LRoom may not use the ACR plug in as PShop/Bridge in the exact same way (eg for the actual editing of files such as exposure, white balance etc.), but Lightroom DOES USE the ACR PLUG IN.... in regard to the file recognition issue.
    And Yes....  I made a mistake.  Somehow, despite what I thought were good efforts to research the Lumix's support in PShop CS6, Bridge, ACR and Lroom 4, I got it wrong.  I will accept that it was my mistake and I'll accept my part in this, but I won't be made to feel that that it's been "totally" my fault, stupidity, whatever. 
    Thanks to all the people who have provided useful comment and input to my original question and subsequent responses throughout this discussion.  I will indeed now consider options like the DNG converter.  I was aware of the whole cloud thing, and had been thinking I would upgrade in perhaps a couple of years time (for both Pshop and LRoom) - I'll have to consider upgrading sooner rather than later.

    I have installed Adobe Lightroom CC.  In the process of launching, a popup appears, that says:  "AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED.  Cannot create the required folder:  /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets."  So even though Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch.  What do I need to do to allow it to launch?

    The problem was solved today.  Here's the full story.  I'm a Mac user.  At first I installed Lightroom CC on my iMac (desktop).  I had this problem so I called Adobe, and was referred to a "special unit" .  After about an hour the tech solved it for me ... we did a screen sharing and she took control of my computer for a loooong time.  Because of language difficulties, at first I wondered if she knew what she was doing but she eventually solved it.  Although she couldn't explain exactly what she was doing, she summarized it by saying "it was a permissions problem."  I asked if I would have the same issue later when I installed it on my laptop (Macbook Air).  She said probably not.
    But I did.  The same internal error popup arose on launch and launch did not complete on my laptop.  I tried chat but no joy so I eventually called Apple Care.  I had noticed that on my laptop (and the iMac for that matter), that there was no Library folder after my user name.  The Apple tech explained that the Library folder is actually there but it is hidden because it's very easy for users to do some very nasty things to their computer by going astray while in the Library folder.  The folder is actually there, but they hide it.  I did remember seeing that the tech helping me with my iMac had typed the work "Library" while she was controlling my computer.  Basically she had activated the hidden Library folder so she could open the path that Lightroom was trying to follow to create that "Develop Presets" folder.  For some reason, the inability to create that folder in the launch process was preventing launch from being completed.  The Apple tech said she didn't actually have to do that and activated the Library folder by use of the Go selection on the menu bar.  Anyway, once that complete path was replicated and opened, the next step was to go to the Lightroom Permissions field and add my user name to the user categories already there and enable "read and write" permissions to my user name.  Once done, I shut down my laptop, and then rebooted.  I launched Lightroom and then boom, voila, heavens to betsy, etc. it launched and suddenly a dismal weekend turned into a great one. 
    I am not a geek, so I hope this makes some sense.  I also hope Lightroom launches again tomorrow and beyond! 

  • Scanner NEF not Supported by Lightroom 2?

         I am trying to decide on some workflow options for scanning negatives with a Nikon scanner.  It has been suggested that raw image data from a Nikon scanner can best be processed by having the scanner output in NEF format and using Nikon Capture NX 2 as a raw editor. The basis for this suggestion is that ACR does not support scanner NEF.  Apparently, neither does Lightroom 2, or so I am told.  Having reviewed comments in Adobe forums, some seem to hold the opinion, often vociferously, that scanner NEF is not truly raw data, is a complete waste of time, and scanned images should be output as TIFFs rather than NEFs.  Also, despite the official line that scanner NEF is not supported, scanned images that were output as NEF, and saved as NEF images, seem to be working just fine in Lightroom 2, although I haven't tried a full processing workflow on them yet. (In the interests of full disclosure I hold out the possibility that I may have somehow converted these images into a conventional form of NEF at some point after scanning).
         I apologize for that lengthy introduction.  Here are my questions:  (1)  How is scanner NEF different from "true" raw image data; (2)  what are the consequences for optimization of scanned NEF images in Lightroom 2 -- am I simply using Lightroom tools without getting the full benefit of processing "true" raw information, as in the case of TIFFs and JPEGs;  (3) what does it mean that Lighroom 2 and ACR do not support scanner NEF anyway since I am (apparently) able to open and process them in Lightroom 2;  (4) if  Lightroom 2 does not fully support scanner NEF, is there anything to be gained by outputting to NEF (rather than TIFF) and using Nikon's proprietary RAW editor (which I am told does not officially support scanner NEF either, but still works) instead of LIghtroom 2 for NEFs?

    Short answer - scan the images as TIFF and make life easier for yourself.
    Longer answer:
    1. A true raw file is still in it's mosaiced form whereas a scanner NEF is a fully rendered TIFF with a different extension
    2. Same as editing a TIFF, PSD or JPEG. The adjustments are parametric and therefore only readable in Lightroom and ACR. In order that you can actually open them into Photoshop or another editor it will be necessary to export the files as TIFF, PSD or JPEG.
    3. It means that they aren't treated as true raw files. Refer to above.
    4. There is nothing to be gained.

    I need Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii.  Is there a Camera RAW version for me? 

    Thanks for your help.  I checked out DNG on YouTube and understand more
    about it.  I downloaded the DNG converter and transferred in files from my
    camera.  Then I imported into Lightroom.  It works!   Thanks again.

  • AVCHD support - Does Lightroom 5 support the 60P 28MBPS setting ?

    The link here says AVCHD is supported : http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/video-support-lightroom-4-3.html
    but there are many cases whereby other software (ie Aperture) says they support AVCHD but in reality not all settings/varieties.  Before I commit to a purchase, can someone actually confirm that the 1920x1080 with the 60P and 28MBPS setting on my Panasonic G5 camera will actually work OK on Lightroom 5, thanks a bunch.

    Yes, download Lightroom 5.7

  • Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the  Canon Sureshot S95

    Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
    after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

    (1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW.  Hardly a satisfactory solution.
    (I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ). 
    (2) SUGGESTION-  even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting).  I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
    Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs.  So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
    JJ
    *  (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

  • Nikon D810 support for lightroom 4.4 ?

    I just installed an update to Lightroom 4.4 and it seems like the Nikon D810 is still not supported. Is this correct? I'm trying to shoot tethered.
    Thanks

    Don't you think Adobe could just add the camera support via updates to previous versions of Lightroom?
    I am NOT an Adobe defender/fan-boy, but I fully support Adobe's policy to NOT maintain legacy versions of Lightroom software - somebody has to pay for that, and it ain't the people not upgrading who do..
    If you really want to read newer raws using older software you can convert them to DNG (converter is free) - tethering support not included.. You can tether with older Lr software using non-Lr tethering software and auto-import in Lr, although I recommend upgrading instead (or also..).
    How much was that D810? - how much is an Lr upgrade?

  • Lens profile support in Lightroom 3 (Panasonic/Leica)

    I'd like to see some "micro four third" lenses, like the standard lens of the Panasonic DMC-GH1-K, supported in lightroom 3, even though the lens shows very little problems only.

    You can check to see if someone else has already created one by searching with the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

    Releases are about four times a year.  Support is nearly always added in the next release.  Exceptions are if the camera is released just before a release where the code is already finished or if the sensor is unusual and requires additional development.  The camera to which you are referring was announced just at the wrong time.  Period.
    If these idioitic camera makers would just adopt DNG, support would be there instantly with no required work from Adobe.
    Release dates:
    2012-02-07 Nikon D800
    2012-02-08 E-M5

    Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button.  Also get error message on launch:  An error occurred when attempting to change modules.  I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files:  System Library/Application Support/Adobe.  Any ideas?  I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro.  This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens.  Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you for attempting to help.  I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem.  Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem.  I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom.  The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery.  Only a few days left on my trial version!  I hope I have time to try it out!

  • 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:

  • Lightroom 5 will not open

    Hello all,
    I have an iMac, OS 10.7
    I installed Lightroom 5, using the 30-day trial and it ran fine for 30 days - I used it almost daily.
    After 30 days I purchased LR5 via the Adobe web site and received an email with the serial ID.  At the registration page, I filled in all nformation and could not proceed further.  The "Next" button was not selectable.  The only option was "Finish" or "Back".  I select "Finish" and it just closes.  Repeating all previous steps has the same result.
    I called Adobe CS and they confirmed the product is registered.  He told me I had to download LR again because it was not installed on my machine.  I did not understand how I could use the program for 30 days if it was not installed on my machine.  He could not explain it and just repeated himself a few times.  I downloaded and installed it again with the same result as above.
    Please help!

    Hi All,
    This issue is reporeted in Mac Lion and Mountain Lion mostly.
    When you open the serial number window, Enter the serial number and click Finish. LR5 doesn't open and nothing happens.
    If this is the case,
    Please navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application support> Adobe> Lightroom folder.
    Delete the Lightroom 5 registration file from the folder.
    Then open the serial number window again and enter the SN.
    The issue should be fixed.
