Raw Files in Lightroom...

I just imported RAW files into Lightroom and want to use the Develop tool. However, when I change modules to "Develop" It does not allow me to see the changes as I work. Only when I go back to the Library module can I see them. I need to see real time changes to edit. Please help

That certainly sounds like a problem. And it definitely isn't the way it's supposed to work.
What version of LR are you using?
PC or Mac?
What operating system?
Does the problem happen no matter which develop controls you change?
Does going to 1:1 and back show the changes?
You might want to try trashing your Preferences file.

  • Problems downloading RAW files into Lightroom 4 from a 70D camera.

    I had a canon rebel xsi and had been able to download my RAW files to lightroom 4.  However, I have recently bought a 70D and is won't download into Lightroom 4.  I have been told that Lightroom 4 doesn't support the 70D and I have to upgrade to Lightroom 5.  Is this correct, or can I get some kind of plug in?  Also if Lightroom 5 how much would it be for me to upgrade, is an "upgrade" cheaper to someone who has already got Lightroom 4.

    Once you buy LR 5 you can install any of the LR 5.x versions where LR 5.7 just came out and supports the newest cameras, like the Nikon D750 or Canon 7D Mark II along with all earlier models.
    It would be wise to download and install the LR 5.7 as a trial and make sure it works for you before buying the upgrade.  The minimum OS is 10.7 and Win 7, I think, so if you’re on XP or Vista or OS X 10.6 then you’re out of luck.
    The various version of LR are available on the Adobe Updates site:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    They will run in trial mode for 30 days or until you enter appropriate serial numbers.

  • Can photoshop CC open raw files from Lightroom 5?

    Trying to open raw files from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CC 2014, with no luck.
    Anyone?

    Problems are as follows— all versions are current.
    1. When in Lightroom, trying to open a photo in Photoshop,-- choosing Photo>Edit in Photoshop CC 2014— Photoshop opens but no photo appears. The only time a photo opens is if it is a JPEG… CR2 does not open, dng does not open
    2. When trying to open a JPEG in Photoshop, dialog box opens offering choice between "Edit Original", "Edit a copy", or "Edit with Lightroom adjustments", Only choosing “Edit Original” allows photo to open.
    3. When in Photoshop choosing “Browse in Bridge” does not open Bridge… opens CC app and prompts me to install another version of Bridge, or keep version I have.  (See attached screenshot) Either way it’s a malfunction… as I said earlier all versions are leanest.
    PLEASE HELP!!

  • How do i open a raw file in lightroom

    how do I open a raw file in lightroom?

    Yes, those are good links, but let's clean up the terminology too so we're all talking the same language.
    There is no "open" in Lightroom when referring to photos.
    You can "import" photos into Lightroom ... this means that now Lightroom has registered the photo's location and other pertinent information into its database, but it does not store the photo itself in the Lightroom database (or anywhere else in Lightroom), so Lightroom never contains your photos; the photo continues to be stored on one of your hard drives, wherever you want it to be, and the file is visible in your operating system.
    Once you have imported the photos, then Lightroom can perform tasks on the photos, such as Develop, Print, e-mail or upload, etc. and once you have imported photos into Lightroom, you should not move or rename or delete them outside of Lightroom.

  • Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
    D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
    Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

  • Canon 70D RAW files to Lightroom 3

    What do you need to do to work with Canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 3 ?

    Either upgrade to Lightroom 5, or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2s to DNG which LR3 will then read.

  • I can't import raw files into lightroom

    I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

    I don't use nikon software.  I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

  • Opening raw file in Lightroom

    All of a sudden, I am not able to open my Nikon D80 raw files via Lightroom; when I go to open the file in Photoshop CS3, it only offers me the option to open it as a copy with Lightroom adjustments, not as an original file, and it opens as a psd. Tried adjusting settings in Photoshop as per a Peachtree article but this does not work. The nef and dng files do exist and I can open them as raw via Photoshop, but no longer in Lightroom. Any suggestions?

    Thank you Jeff.  It seems so obvious once you know the answer.

  • How to edit raw files in lightroom?

    when editing raw files in  lightroom the only extra option I seem to get is more control over white balance.  Am I missing something?  is there a way to open raw files in camera raw (like in photoshop elements) or can the editing options I get for all photos raw(nef) and jpg work better on raw than on jpg?  I am a little confused by it...

    Lr uses Camera Raw internally for processing raw files.
    You create renditions by editing raw images in develop mode until you are satisfied, and then exporting those renditions.
    If you mean you want access to proprietary NEF settings placed in the raw image by the camera or Nikon software... this is not possible. You can mimic some of the settings with camera profiles and presets, but Lr (like most software) does not have (complete, unfettered, unencumbered) access to proprietary image details.  Adobe uses the public Nikon SDK to get access to the encrypted WB information.

  • RAW files in Lightroom (migrating from Aperture)

    Hello,
    I am an Aperture user that is thinking to migrate to Lightroom after the last announcement by Apple regarding its professional photo application.
    I use to work with RAW files in Aperture and I would like to do the same with Lightroom. In this guide, in which Adobe explains how to migrate to its software, I cannot find any help about transferring RAW files to Lightroom (in my case, .NEF files by Nikon). Is it possible to do it?
    Thank you in advance, Valerio.

    That app does not do it all for you automatically. It does some preparation in Aperture and duplicates your entire picture collection.
    Valerio, Adobe’s guide does say you should simply import your files into Lightroom. However, they must be in regular folders - "referenced" rather than "managed". See my Moving from Aperture to Lightroom for more detail.

  • Corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5.

    I'm having an issue with corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5. I have all of my RAW files stored on an external NAS system. Typically, I mainly work on my files on my PC's hard drive. The NAS is for storage only. However, in the past I have looked through the external files with Adobe Camera RAW and have called up files from there to work on, if it's a photo I want to rework. Recently I have started using Lightroom 5. So the other day, I added a folder from the NAS external to Lightroom 5 to look at some of the RAW files. A LOT of the files looked corrupt with white blocks and pink or yellow lines running across the photo. I closed lightroom and pulled up those same files in Adobe RAW and get the same issue. I copied them to my PC's hard drive and still have the issue. This has never happened until using Lightroom. I know Lightroom is not supposed to actually do anything to the files, however, this is very coincidental. Did Lightroom do something to these images, or was it coincidence that the files became corrupt at the same time I started using Lightroom? Any solutions?

    I am wondering about the drive. I know that it is not the CF card and it wasn't a reader for the following reasons. I download directly from the camera to the PC without a reader. I downloaded these last July and worked on them on and off for several weeks without issue. I have also pulled up the occasional file from this same batch a couple times this winter without issue. It was only when I pulled them up yesterday in Lightroom that this problem occurred.

  • Hi, I just downloaded a bunch of RAW files into Lightroom 5.6 and they all look like they've been put through acid. Can someone please help? TYVM!

    Hi, I just downloaded a bunch of RAW files into Lightroom 5.6 and they all look like they've been put through acid. Can someone please help? TYVM!

    Jim and Rob, thank you for taking your time to respond. I have a mac & a pc with 4 gigs of RAM in each. I originally experienced the problem on my mac and afterwards the same thing happened on the pc. I shoot with a canon 5d mark iii and never had this problem before, but what I'm realizing is that I'm running out of space on both the mac & the pc. After an afternoon of shooting today, I filled up a 32-gig card, so my TB hard drives are filling up ridiculously fast. I need to drop some load off both drives and reboot. Hope this will resolve the issue as I really don't think it's a canon-LR problem (I'm using the most updated 5.6 version). Again, thanks for your input. I'll keep you posted.

  • Opening RAW File from Lightroom is automatically saving a PSD or TIFF. How to turn this off?

    I recently upgraded to LightroomCC and Photoshop CC however now when I go to open my RAW files from lightroom it is automatically saving a PSD copy when the file is opened.  I don't want it to do that because I don't need those files - for some of my stuff I just need to open the file, edit, and save a jpg when done.  This was not a feature on the older version of Lightroom and I can't find any place to turn this off. 
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!
