Shooting Tethered into Lightroom

I plan on starting to shoot tethered at Professional Boxing and MMA events...
I will tether my Nikon D3 to a Windows 7 laptop containing Lightroom 4.1 .....I normally choose (my editor picks which matches they need) approxmetely 6 files per match, rather then export those full rez jpegs to a folder on my desktop and then move to Ip-switch to forward to my publishers FTP site . Is it possible to select 6 files (full rez) then forward to a FTP site without leavling Lightroom , I have to speed up the entire process getting files to the FTP site as there's normally only a few mintines betweeen matches.
Thank you .............Tomba-Images

There is a free FTP upload plugin included in the Lr SDK that will aloow you to export to FTP directly from within Lr to the FTP server address of your choice ... The current SDK kit can be found here:

I have been using the FTP plugin since Lr v2 without incident and I routinely upload single images or collections of several thousand to both client servers and my online shopping cart ... works very well and I don't have to deal with a mountain of derivative files and use an FTP client to complete the transfer ...

When shooting tethered in Lightroom, my tech is editing previous shot images ....

When shooting tethered in Lightroom, my tech is editing previous shot images, but when I shoot another image, that image pops up instead. is there a way to stop the last shot image automatically pop up, so my tech can continue working on the last image?
thanks!
<moved from downloading,setting up,installing - kglad>

Have the tech move the photo upon which they are working into the Quick Collection [ B ]. As long as he is in the QC, the photo won't advance while you continue to shoot.

Tethered shooting directly into Lightroom.

The way I currently import my photos into lightroom is via compact flash card, where i convert my RAW files to DNG upon imports.
Being able to shoot tethered directly into lightroom would reduce the need for another software & therefore make for a more efficient
workflow. Particularly when shooting products where we can view on a big screen as we shoot. Thanks for a great software thus far!

hope they will make it possible in LR 3.0

Converting Images to B&W Automatically when Shooting Tethered

I'm cool with setting up my camera to shoot tethered into Lightroom. No problem there. What I would like to know is if it is possible to automatically convert the JPEG files into grayscale upon transfer into Lightroom without having to press any further buttons to do so, ie. aoutomatically transfer images from camera to Lightroom in color, then convert to grayscale without any further action on my part. I know on "Import", this is no problem as a Preset can be used. But, there doesn't seem to be the ability to use a preset when shooting tethered that I am aware of.
I know I can set the camera to shoot grayscale and that would be one way to solve the problem. Ideally, though, I would like the images to come into lightroom as color and then convert to maintain color options later.
Thanks for your help!

In the menu command File > Auto Import > Auto Import Settings, you can select a Develop preset. Just choose one that converts to black and white.
Edit - but re-reading your question, no. You would have to export the files to get b&w jpegs. Maybe I did understand first time!

Can I back up images in Lightroom to an external hard drive as I'm shooting tethered and sending files to a folder on the internal hard drive?

I'd like to be able to send files to both the internal hard drive and an external hard drive as I'm shooting tethered in Lightroom. Can this be done and if so how? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X can only restore data to the drive where Time Machine backed up files from.
If you want to restore files from the Time Machine backup onto an external drive, your only option is to access to the Time Machine drive manually (open a Finder window and choose your Time Machine drive in the Finder sidebar), navigate through its folders and copy the files you want to the external drive

Problem Shooting tethered in LR 3.6 OS X 10.6.8 Nikon D3

I'm shooting with a Nikon D3 and am having trouble shooting tethered in Lightroom v3.6. Specifically, I'm getting the "No Camera Detected" message in the Lightroom tethered window.
All of my software is up to date. I'm running:
OSX 10.6.8
Lightroom 3.6
D3 USB set to MTP/PTP
D3 Firmware version 2.02 (for both A & B)
And no luck. The camera will fire fro the shutter release, but no image appears in Lightroom. I've tried many of the suggested fixes on the forum for this problem with Lightroom v3.4, but none have worked.
Any suggestions?

Bill, I had a similar problem with Nikon Camera Control 2 Pro where the camera not detected message appeared. Nikon told me the usual things to check, USB cable provided by Nikon with ferrite coil surrounding the cable, fully charged batteries etc. Not of that worked! I finally figured out the problem with my system and offer my solution in hope that it will solve your problem. I'm running Win 7 Pro so my keystrokes may vary for your OS version:
Here goes:
Start, Run, Type services.msc in the Open box, hit enter
Scroll to Windows Image Aquisition (WIA) service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic (don't click OK yet, do it after you are all done)
Select the Dependencies tab at the top of the WIA properties box to see the dependencies
Click on the + sign to the left of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) dependency to see the system components
Go back to the services window and scroll to the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) line and double click it to open the properties box
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to RPC Endpoint Mapper service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to DCOM Service Process Launcher service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to Shell Hardware Detection service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Click OK to finish closing the WIA properties box
You should be done at this time and may need to re-start the computer. (not sure of that but why not at this stage)
Hope that helps slve your problem, It did for me.

Camera battery drain when shooting tethered to LR3.x

Hi:
I've been experiencing very rapid battery drain in my Nikon D90 when shooting tethered into a laptop running LR3.x under Windows7 32-bit. Is this to be expected because of the constant transfer of images across the USB connection?
Thanks in advance for any insight on this.
Regards,
Peter

Even transfering via USB for downloading will cause the battery to drain. Tethering would certainly drain the battery more than shooting non tethered, but it shouldn't feel excessive.

Shooting tethered tethered with LR 3 and a D300

I just finished a photo shoot using a Nikon D300 and shooting tethered into LR3 and Windows 7. Everything was working fine then my computer said the usb device is unrecognizable. Until I reboot I cannot restore the connection. Can anyone advise me on this?

I don't remember what the settings were when I imported the catalog. Whatever the defaults were.
Whatever happened during import, I should still have the option to add the files when sync'ing a folder? But I don't.
Neither LR2 nor LR3 will allow me access to the edited DNG files now. I've erased and am rebuilding the catalog (all pertinent info was written to sidecar and/or within the DNG file, so I'm not anticipating any problems with this. It's showing the expected 27,000+ files being imported). I think I'll try building the LR3 catalog the same way when I fire it back up, once I'm sure I'm back up and running in LR2.
Thanks for the quick response!

Can I shoot tethered with my D3x to Lightroom 3.6 on my Macbook Pro OS 10.7?

I'm getting conflicting information on whether or not I can shoot my D3x camera tethered to my laptop with the new Lion operating system directly into Lightroom. Any suggestions?

Shooting tethered straight into Lr...

Hi,
I'm trying to shoot tethered straight into Lightroom. Here's what I did:
- installed EOS software for my EOS 30D,
- set in EOS Utility to open Lr when shooting images
- Lr launches
Now, here's an issue: when I shoot Import dialog box opens inside Lr with one image. How can I get images straight into Lr without opening Import dialog box so I can get them all in Lr straight away?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies.
Here are my settings:
EOS Utility :
- Destination Folder set to: Watched Folder on my Desktop
- Linked Software set to : Lightroom
Lightroom:
- Auto Import enabled
- Auto Import settings:
- Watched Folder - Watched Folder on Desktop (the same as in EOS Utility)
- Destination - the same as above (Watched Folder)
So how do I get rid of the Import dialog box while shooting?

Lightroom doesn't recognize mine camera, the Nikon D800 E to shoot tethering. There is no problem with mine laptop. Can you help me with this issue?
Ronald ( the Netherlands)

Sure the laptop know's that the Nikon D800E is connected, but lightroom doesn't recognise this camera. Two weeks a go it wasn't a problem at all.

Things Missing from Lightroom when shooting tethered

ave previously been using Leaf and Capture One, now we are converting to LR b/c of its features. But there are a few small things that I noticed are missing that should be easy to fix. First the compare window. When shooting tethered in Capture One you can pick a compare variant and it stay's up on the left and all the new captures show up on the right. I have tried the survey option in LR but when you make a capture or use the crop tool you're compare view goes away. This would be very helpful in my situation because we shoot high volume and the shots need to be as similar as possible. Also something as simple as the grid, there are workaround's but annoying ones. Please just ad a grid button,so you can turn it on and leave it on, along with movable guide lines, these are the only little features that Capture One has and LR does not.

I would like to add my support for extra functions when shooting tethered - either via auto import or directly through LR.
One thing that would be really useful is an overlay function, just like all the medium format capture software has. An art director will often supply a pdf layout of a magazine cover with title, cover lines etc and this is overlaid on the image during the shoot to get everything in the right spot. I've tried doing this with a custom template in the print module of LR with limited success.
Also, a way to send a keyboard command to another app running in the background to initiate a capture via the camera's capture software would be great. This is primarily for cameras or digital backs that aren't supported directly through LR via tethered capture.
Another biggie would be to have a 'same as previous' develop preset (just like the medium format capture software, which does this by default) for auto imports, so that any changes made to the last-captured image will automatically be applied to any new captures. I know there is a way to option click the 'previous' button in the develop module and then hit enter to do this, but if this takes a few keystrokes, and if 'same as previous' is there in tethered capture it is obviously recognised as something useful so can we have it in auto import please!

No images will import from my camera card into Lightroom 3. Shooting with a Nikon D700 and using a MacBook Pro. Used to work perfectly

Any thoughts? I can use Camera Raw, but miss LR.

The D700 requires at least Lightroom 4.6. I believe you are mistaken if you thought you could import them into Lightroom 3 because it never included support for that camera.
