RAW images are "locked"when imported into LR

I just got a new camera (Sony alpha 6000) and all my RAW images that I attempt to import into LR 4.4 are "locked" and therefore, cannot be imported.
When I click on the photo in my HD file and look at the "Get Info" the photo is not "locked".
Can't find any setting on my camera that shows the photo as "locked". Anyone know if this is a LR problem or a Sony problem?
I have a Nikon D40 that has no problem uploading RAW images to my LR 4.4.
Thanks for any help!!

Sony Alpha 6000 raw files require at least Lightroom 5.4.
You would need to upgrade Lightroom, or use the free Adobe DNG converter version 8.6 to convert your RAWs to DNG and then import those into Lightroom.

Where do RAW image file go when importing images into iPhoto?

I've imported images from my camera card into iPhoto but I want to have access to the RAW files format. I was given the option of erasing the data from the card after import but luckily I opted to not erase because I can't seem to find the RAW images on the computer. Does iPhoto not import RAW image files? I want the RAW file format for obvious reasons.

By default all imported photos are copied into the iPhoto library. To edit them in an external editor check the box in the iPhoto preferences to use RAW with external editors or export the photo with kind = original

RAW photos are purple when imported

Aperture has just added RAW support for my Olympus E-M1. I took several photos in JPG+RAW. When importing them to Aperture the JPGs were fine but some, not all, of the RAW images became purple. Is this an Aperture problem, an SD card problem, or camera problem? Someone told me to reformat my SD cards because I had been using them on my Nikon camera, so I did. Could this be the problem? Also, when I put the SD card in my MacBookPro again, it showed up in Finder but not in the Import menu. Could this also be related to not reformatting the card before taking RAW photos? I haven't had the problem with JPGs with this camera.
Thank you for any help.

There a a number of different issues at play.
This is the embedded preview extracted using Exiftools. The preview is 3200 x 2400 which is 4 x 3. (I resized it here upload speed).
However, the embedded preview when seen in Aperture, is squashed into a 3 x 2 format image:
When the raw is loaded, this is what is seen.
As well as the purple issue, the file is cropped at the top and bottom and stretched back to 4 x 3 format. Very weird!
Aperture is mis-interpreting the files data, especially the blue channel which is all hunched into the image midtones.
If you add a curves adjustment and use auto (the coloured version) it will get the image a bit closer, I then tweaked the curves (and also used WB and Levels) to get the image closer:
However, obviously, the image is still cropped.
Here are the curves for each of the RGB channels. I added a second curve, to tweak the blue becuse it was hard to work with with the data all hunched up.
You don't need to be concerned about your raws. I checked them in RawTherapee and they seem fine and corruption-free.
I'm convinced this is an Aperture issue, where one of the settings is confusing Aperture (look for a common theme in the affected images, did you choose to shoot in 3 x 2, is it just the long exposure ones, etc).
When Apple releases a fix, your images should return to normal.
In the mean time, you can use Exiftool to extract the embedded previews to have 3200 x 2400 jpegs to play with, or use an alternative convert to create TIFFs for using in Aperture.

Colors in PNG image go crazy when imported into Illustrator

When I import certain PNGs into Illustrator CC, they look like this...
I've tried reinstalling the program and changing the document from CMYK to RGB. Not sure what else to try.

Any warnings about the color profile when importing the image?
What happens when you open it in Photoshop and then resave it as a TIF or PSD before importing in Illustrator?

Original image automatically altered when importing into iPhoto

When importing photos from a CD into iPhoto (by first saving them to desktop then dragging them in to iPhoto), they are being automatically altered by iPhoto. They appear in their original form on the desktop, but when I drag them into iPhoto, it seems to be doing some auto-enhancing (in this case not for the better). May be missing something simple, but have not had this problem w/ importing photos from a CD before. Any ideas?

iPhoto works best with an sRGB colour profile. From your description of the symptoms you have a different colour profile.
Why is this important? Because the colour profile tells the computer how to display the colours. It tells it, in other words, what this file means by 'red' or 'blue'.
Try attach an sRGB profile to one or two of the pics and import them. See does it help. You can do this using the Tools menu in Preview.

I can't access my pictures anymore through iPhoto because I simply don't know where they are stored when imported into iPhoto. The library used automatically before is not shown anymore. Can anyone help me to recover all my pictures?

I had some problems with my MacbookPro and did some clean up and further back-up (time machine already in place for a long time). Now, suddenly I can't access my pictures anymore through iphoto asking me for a library (never asked for before) and I have no clue where the pictures are actually saved when imported in iphoto. Can anyone help me recover my pictures, such as telling me WHERE the pictures are actually stored? Thank you so much!

I had some problems with my MacbookPro and did some clean up
A critical question - exactly what "clean up" did you do and how?
Do you have an iPhoto library in yoru pictures folder? If you depress and hold the option key and launch iPhoto - what do you see in the select library window? Select each library there and see what you have

Still images are blurry when dropped into Canvas

HI, I am running Final Cut 7. When I drop still images into onto the Timeline, when I click on that image to appear in the Canvas they are blurry. However, when I put on the Alpha+RGB they are as sharp as they normally are - except they are red. How do I change this so they are sharp in the RGB channel?
Thanks for your help

Thanks. Like I said, I have downsized this still image to 720 x 576 at 72 ppi and it goes to crap.
I just changed the setting to HD 1280 x 720. Import the 720 x 576 at 72 ppi ... looks good but needs to be rendered .. render and it goes to crap. Everything that is imported needs to be rendered - then it all goes to crap. OR video looks good as a still frame and when rendered it goes to crap as it isn't HD but I thought it would be the quality of what it normally is just in an HD environment.
Thinking Final Cut X will solve these issues as it doesn't have these format problems like 7 does.

Images lose quality when imported into Pages

Hi,
when I import images into Pages, they lose quality. They are normal jpg files.
After the import they look a bit fuzzy. I dunno why...
thanks

In the Inspector "Measures" there is a button allowing us to reset to the original size.
Of course, the picture will be smaller than the blurred one
or
will be too large and parts will be hidden.

My vector (flattened) images are pixellated when imported in Illustrator. How do I fix this?

Hello.
I am experiencing an issue in Adobe Illustrator.
When attempting to import picture files in Illustrator from PhotoShop, the image appears blurred/pixellated. The image (a .psd file) is converted in Illustrator to a .ai file. I create vector (flattened) images in PhotoShop, which should maintain their picture clarity and quality regardless of what program the vectored image is opened with. Somehow, they are becoming pixellated when converted to .ai files in Illustrator.
I use both Adobe CS6 and Adobe Creative Cloud
Is there a setting or solution that I can implement to rectify this issue?
Many thanks in advance for everyone's input and assistance.

Hello, Doug and John.
Thank you for your replies and for providing feedback.
I am aware that vector format files are only for illustrator. However, I believe you can make a smart object in photoshop using the vector art and it will keep its vector file format in photoshop allowing it to not pixelate.
I would be more interested in seeing if uninstalling and reinstalling the programs would have anything to do with it and also trying to find the settings. Would anyone happen to know if this will resolve the issue? I am hoping this is correct forum in which to post this topic/issue.
Thank you again for your help.

Frames are black when imported into CS3

Hi there!
When I import frames from a .mov file into CS3 they turn up black. I did not have this issue with ImageReady. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Do I need to convert the .mov file to something else?
Thanks in advance!

Nevermind. I figured it out. I had to download Divx. Sorry all I just purchased a MacBook and forgot about the codex.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Help! Photoshop edited jpg color distorts when imported into Muse

Okay, so I am trying to build a photography webpage (among others) and I edit most of my photos in photoshop. All photos that I edit in photoshop and save to jpg, look great when printed, uploaded to facebook, etc. however when I import them into Adobe Muse for and put them on my webpage, the colors of the photos become desaturated and/or slightly distorted (so that they look dull). When I edit images in lightroom and save them as jpg and import them into Muse, they look fine, but colors edited in photoshop seem to mess up my photos when imported into Muse.
What am I doing wrong?!
Susan

You are using some odd color management settings and not converting to sRGB most likely... Check your settings in PS itself and the Save for Web dialog and experiment around.

I cant find anywhere to import it into my photoshop layout, can't "Bring to front" in dream weaver <- ? :/
I have searched everywhere and I can't find with my terms what im looking for..I figure if nothing is coming up then im going about this
the wrong way
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Hi
Slicing images from a photoshop comp and then creating a web page from them is never a good idea, and will present many compatibility problems for you. A better alternative is to use css based layouts, this does not mean that you must forget what you have done in photoshop just that the procedure is probably slightly more complex for someone who has not used css layouts before,
A good place to start would be the css basics tutorial then the, using css starter pages tutorial from the tutorials shown on this page - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
(the 2 tutorials mentioned are - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt1.html, and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt2.html.

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.
