Shooting tethered, no images display in Lr...

Hi,
I'm trying to shoot tethered using canon EOS 7D and Lr 2.7.
Here are my settings:
EOS Utility installed and set:
Lr set:
The images appear in the folder "Final" on the Desktop but not in Lr.... Auto-Import is enabled.
Any ideas?

It would seem to me that you want the "Destination" in the
Eos utility to be the watched folder in LR, which then moves them to the desktop.
Just a thought.

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!

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.

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

How to view JPEG in Aperture while shooting tethered?

I'm shooting tethered on a D3x into Aperture 2.1.4 with OS 10.6.1
Camera is set to RAW+JPEG with the in-camera JPEG set to Monochrome.
I'd like to be able to see the Monochrome image on the screen as I'm shooting, but as you know, the only documented way to view the JPEG is to make a "New Version from Master JPEG"…..
Suggestions?

no, there was no "?" displayed, all looks normal... but in just the develop screen it was a big grey blank, and 'folder could not be found".... in frustration last night i closed everything down and today simply re-booted the entire computer and my mystery is this morning i can see the jpeg..... i may never know what caused the glitch... is it therefore a good idea to re-boot the HD after making changes like adding LR5??? Does LR5 need that to properly interface with other files/folders on a HD?? it would help to know before i add LR to my ultrabook!! thanks so much for being available to all of us 'beginners'!!

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!

How to keep Canon 5dMk2 "connected" while shooting tethered

Folks,
Is there a trick?
When I shoot tetherered LR3 loses contact with my camera (5Dmk2, but also 30D) way too quickly before shooting an image. Just fiddling with the props, set, lights, etc., is enough to lose contact. I have been turning the camera off and then back on but that's ridiculous. I want just leave that rig set to make me a full screen image upon testing (firing shutter) and holding that image as long as I need foe extended checking. When I set it for live view on the tethered laptop I want it to stay open, as I probably have the laptop plugged in.
What am I missing here in the way of a setting?
jonathan7007

First, a caveat... I don't use tethered shooting much. Infact, it's been at least a year, but my last experience...
You generally lose connection when the camera auto-shuts off. So if you set the camera to not do that (external power? Menu setting?) then you shouldn't lose connection. But I don't remember if it's possible for that camera to be set to not auto shut off.. if not, set it for as long as you can. At least, that's what I remember! Sorry if I'm not more helpful!
Cheers!

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.
Bill

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:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshoplightroom.html
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 ...

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?

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.

Can i shoot tethered with two cameras?

I've read that I can shoot tethered with two cameras in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. When I tether them to my iMac 27", one will work. Then I switch cameras in the "shooting module" to the other body (both bodies are Nikon D800) and then it freezes up. Do they need to be named differently? Is that even possible. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Canon supports two camera attachment for tethering.
Nikon does not.
Tethered camera support in Lightroom
Notes on Nikon cameras
For all Nikon cameras:
If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are only downloaded to the computer.
Only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time.

Turn off the Auto adjust when shooting tethered in aperture

is there any way to turn off the auto adjust feature in aperture? When I shoot tethered it over corrects and ruins all the shots, then I have to adjust back for the client to get a good idea of the image.

After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
Why set the destructive option as the default?
I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

Hi,
on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
(1.) Windows Photo Viewer
The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
(2.) Internet Browsers
All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
(3.) Photoshop CS 5
When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
Any help or input is appreciated !
Thanks.

Hello,
A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step. Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway. This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing. Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile. If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor. An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor. This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications. It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play. By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB. You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents. For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed. Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state". In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it. Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile). Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
Hope this helps!

Unable to shoot tethered with a Canon 70D

I am trying to practice shooting tethered for an upcoming shoot. I am unable to get Lightroom and my Canon 70D to connect. I receive the dialog box shown below several seconds after attempting to connect. I went through all the steps on the "Troubleshooting tethered capture in Lightroom" and can shoot tethered using Canon's software. I am using Lightroom 5.3 on a MacBookPro 13 inch with 16 gb ram running system 10.9.1

Lightroom does not currently support tethering on the 70D.
