Sony ARW Raw from A700 and Lightroom 1.4

I have not seen this in the Forum, so I want to tell You of this problem.
After upgrading from Lightroom 1.3.1 to Lightroom 1.4 I got error messages in grid view randomly in maybe one in every 70 photo's When switching to Develop mode, these files gave the following message: "an unexpected end of file has occurred" and it was impossible to make changes in Develop mode. This did not happen in Lightroom 1.3.1. In fact I had made changes to these files the previous day in 1.3.1. After reading the messages at this Forum, I installed Lightroom 1.3.1 over the 1.4 configuration and the error messages were no longer there, so it were no corrupt files. I could devellop them in the Sony RAW converter without a problem.
Further I did a folder syngronisation and it imported al the files a seccond time, so I had 2 sets of photo's whith the same filenumber in te same folder. I am sure the "don't import expected duplicats" was on. I had to manualy delete them from the Library.
Has anybody got the same problem? Jan-Henk.

After reading other post I want to make it clear, I do not convert to DNG. The computer I use is a Pentium 4 dual core with 2 Gb memory.

  • Camera Raw 6.0 (and Lightroom 3) extra slow, what's happening ?

    Hi,
    I'm having a very annoying issue with both CR 6.0 and LR 3 which is a very slow responsiveness in the photo previews.
    A month ago, I was using Windows XP SP3 32bit on my machine (Intel Core Duo Q6600 (4x2.57Ghz cores) - 4Gb RAM). I had Photoshop CS4 with Camera Raw 5.x and Lightroom 2. Everything was very smooth.
    Then, I moved to Windows Seven 64bit and CS5 with CR 6 and LR 3.
    Now, I have exacly the same issue I had before bying my current 4 core PC, which is :
    in Camera Raw, even scrolling the left thumbnails part is extremely slow (rendeing of image thumbnails), and appying the slightest change of a slider (even basic ones) takes about a second and sometimes two seconds to be applied to the image preview. Quite painful to use !
    Same applies to adjustments and thumbnails in LR 3.
    The thing is, the behaviour occurs even with  Canon EOS 300D RAW files which are only 6 Megapixels !
    I didn't try to go back to LR2 and CS4 to check yet, but well, looks quite surprising since LR3 was supposed to be a lot faster and responsive.
    As it is a clean install, I have the latest set of video drivers (it's a ATI Radeon X4800).
    Do you have any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this ?
    Thanks !

     Just out of curiosity, what was so awfully penalizing reponsiveness in ACR 6.0 ? 
    And, does Lightroom use the same internal 8bi plugin file to do the processing or do I have tu update Lightroom separately to get the responsiveness back ?
    I don't know what they did, but I assume they rewrote some of the code which deals with some of the new process calculations and previewing, to be more processor-efficient.
    Lightroom doesn't use the plug-in, as far as I know. I'd guess that would need a separate update. I haven't got it. You could tell us if it's any faster.

  • D7100 support in Camera Raw plug-in and Lightroom

    When will D7100 be supported cameras in Camera Raw plug-in and Lightroom

    If Adobe have managed to get their hands on a copy, there's a vague chance it might make the LR 4.4 final release which is expected soon (it's currently in RC, but sometimes extra camera's get added).  Other than that, you'll be waiting on the next release I'm afraid.  They don't generally pre-announce camera support.

  • Sony arw 2.3 files and iPhoto

    I use an iMac running O.S. 10.8.3 and iPhoto version 9.4.3.  I also use Pixelmator 2.1.4.
    I have been using a Sony A200 DSLR camera and have had no problems importing Raw files to either of the applications listed above.
    However, when I started using a new Sony A58 SLT camera I could not import the Raw (ARW2.3) images.
    I could see them as thumbnails on the camera but that was it.
    Any solutions out there???

    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400. Or, in your case the ARW produced by the A200 is not the same as the one produced by your A58. Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually, for each model of camera and each brand.
    Here's the list of supported cameras at this time:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    As yours is not on the list the best you do is request the support:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    Some folks have success on some cameras converting to DNG format using Adobe's ACR.

  • Trying to upload raw cr2 files and Lightroom says "file is not recognized"

    Backstory: I photographed a VERY important commercial shoot today and I went to upload the photos to Lightroom. The first 30 images uploaded just fine, but the rest won't. Lightroom says the file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom (401). Everything is updated in my computer... Lightroom, Photoshop ect. Photoshop also says that the file cannot be read. I can't open them in iPhoto or preview either. BUT I can see the thumbnail when I click the camera card reader on the desktop. I am uploading from a card reader as well. I shot with this card yesterday and everything was fine. I NEVER delete photos off my camera, and I always format it. If it is corrupted, how do you I find that out, and is there anyway to get my photos back?
    Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am panicking. Help, please.
    Thank you in advance

    The two raw files you've uploaded to dropbox are corrupted so Lightroom and Photoshop are giving you the correct message.  At least with these two, the embedded JPG preview is there but the raw data is not correct so cannot be rendered.  Here is the error that Canon's own software gives when the files are attempted to be edited:
    You should reattempt to copy the images from the memory cards to your computer using a card reader and an operating-system function (Explorer or Finder) to do it rather than LR or a cable connected to the camera, then see if things work any better.  If you already used a card reader, then try a different one and see if the situation improves.
    If you cannot get a better set of images by retransferring them, then we can work through how to extract the embedded JPG previews en masse.

  • Difference in Camera Raw 7.2 and Lightroom 4.2

    Camera Raw 7.2 seems to have introduced a colour management issue since the Adobe Standard camera profile is no longer present in Camera Raw 7.2, whereas it still appears in the Lightroom 4.2 version.
    This means that raw files exports from Lightroom 4.2 to Photoshop CS6 as an external editor get converted from Adobe Standard (the Lightroom default) into one of the ACR presets in Camera raw resulting in a marked colour shift.
    Since it does not appear possible to select the profile being used by Camera Raw on the fly when using Photoshop as an external editor from within Lightroom then this cannot be corrected.
    The only solution seems to be to define a default profile such as Camera Standard v4 in Camera Raw and ensure that all images in Lightroom are assigned this profile when importing so that the colour remains consistent when editing in Photoshop.
    The two dialogs are shown below.
    This did not appear to be an issue in earlier versions of Camera Raw (at least, not on my old MBP with CS5 and LR3), so why has the Adobe Standard profile been removed and how can we select a different profile when using Photoshop CS6 as an external editor in Lightroom 4.2 in order to maintain colour consistency?

    Did you perhaps delete or un-install anything related to Adobe lately? ACR and LR shuld be seeing the exact same set of DNG profiles unless things have been removed or moved. You could try downloading the most recent version of DNG Converter 7.2 and do an install. This should replace all DNG profiles current with ACR 7.2.

  • Differences between Camera RAW 6.4 and Lightroom 3.4

    Hello,
    I just installed the Lightroom 3.4 update and the Photoshop Elements/Camera Raw 6.4 update. I always thought the underlying RAW-engine was the same, but is that true? I have a Canon CR2-RAW file. When opening it into Camera Raw 6.4 the result differs from the result I get with Lightroom 3.4. In Camera RAW a relatively large part of the picture is colored red because of clipping in the highlights. When opening the same picture in Lightroom, only a very small part is clipping. The settings (Exposure/Recovery etcetera) are exactly the same.
    Also, the histograms of the picture differ from eachother.
    Who can help?
    Igor

    Lightroom actually uses four color spaces:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3415073
    But don't confuse 'Color Space' with 'Camera Profiles' – You can't change the color space in LR, and do not want to! The 'Camera Profiles' provided in LR are the 'in-camera' equivalents (Camera Standard, Faithful, Landscape, etc) and Adobe's Standard. Some more information here on Camera Profiles:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/358016?tstart=0
    The differences you are seeing between LR and ACR are real, but if you set the PSE color space to Adobe RGB this should be minimal. If this is not acceptable then your only option is a full upgrade to PS CS5 or PS CS5 Extended, which supports ProPhoto RGB profile. PSE does not!
    Has your monitor been calibrated using hardware monitor calibrator for ~100 cd/m2 @ 6500K? If NO, STOP and go get one! If YES, read on. I personally have never liked the results using LR Camera Profiles with my Canon DSLRs (300D, 600D, 5D MKII). You can create custom develop presets using one or more of the available LR camera profiles, and they might work very well for you. You will need to shoot a standard subject, compare screen image to live subject real-time, make adjustments, and save as a new preset. Then you should be able to get pretty close for that one (1) subject type! I use the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport to create custom camera profiles with each of my camera bodies for Daylight, Cloudy and Tungsten lighting. With over 35 years of color darkroom experience the difference to my eyes is like night and day!

LR was able to acknowledge that an update was available within hours of its availability, but my copy of CS4 Extended (as part of Production Premium) hasn't yet.
    Is there a delay in providing automatic updates through Help>Updates, or could there be a problem with my copy of CS4 Extended?
    I would appreciate any assistance given with this, as I prefer the automatic download process, compared to the additional steps necessary when downloading the installer.

  • RAW + JPG shooting and Lightroom

    I would like to know if there are any advantages shooting RAW + JPG on my Nikon D200 then importing into Lightroom? Does Lightroom really work (or is ideal) for processing JPGs?
    I am considering shooting RAW + JPG especially of my children due to the amount of photos I take of them and the time it actually takes to process a RAW image. I figure RAW + JPG will give me the choice of having a finished JPG and a RAW image for archival purposes or even additional editing (if necessary). Obviously, Lightroom will know the difference between the two by the extension, but if I want to process JPGs in Lightroom, is there a better alternative for JPG processing...maybe Lightroom, maybe something else?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Rolandy,
    Sounds to me like you're suffering the same dilemna as I. I like my Nikon (D80) and want to fire away w/jpgs. Then I try some simple tests and find that there are images that get botched by the in-camera jpg conversion. Here's an example:
    http://home.comcast.net/~kmsjss/test/index.html
    I shot this pair in NEF+jpg mode (small jpg), with Sun WB, Normal other settings, sRGB IIIa. I ran the NEF into LR and used my presets plus a medium contrast curve and increased exposure (this all took about 3 mouse clicks). That red butler has grey painted details of the lapels, etc. As you can see, they're blown out in the jpg, and not recoverable (I had even more latitude w/the NEF). Also, the color of the butler is Ferrari red (shifted slightly toward yellow). I shot this as a test (forgive my shadow) as the scene has wide brightness range, and red, green, and blue. I've found that Nikon's IIIa color space is vivid, and inaccurate, especially for reds. The Ia space is more accurate, but not vivid. (confirmed by numerous pix, not just this pair).
    So, I shoot NEF, use LR w/defined presets, and don't lose sleep over that rare great shot ;) that gets messed up by Nikon jpg conversion. LR is fast w/presets. Import the shoot, select one, Develop it, in Library select all the others, Command-Option-V, and you're in the ballpark w/the other shots. I prefer the colors I'm getting over Nikon's IIIa conversion, and I'm still tweaking the settings...
    I'm also a hobbyist, so caveat emptor. I trust you're monitor is calibrated.

  • Why my raw looks different in lightroom and camera's raw processing software

    Hi, I am using a Sony A-100 and just start using Lightroom to process my raw file. I quite like lightroom's interface and its workflow, however, a a problem disturbing me is the image look quite different in sony's raw processing software and in lightroom (just import without any editing). In sony's software, the WB and exposure is correct and I don't need to adjust so much. But in lightroom, the color always looks warm and image is underexposure.
    Is it a common problem or it is just a special case as to sony's dslr camera.

    The main reason is that each different software is interpreting image and color data in its own way due, I guess, to different processing methods.
    In that way, digital is not different than film : no film render colors and contrast the same way.
    You have to choose what fits the best for you.
    As an example, I think ACR / LR handle Canon files pretty well ( quite close to Canon's propietary raw converter - neutral settings - ). On the other hand, Nikon owners have more troubles and seem to prefer Capture 4 or NX renderings.

  • Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter not recognizable

    Since  installing Maverick 10.9.4 on the Mac, Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter are no more recognizable.
    Somebody else the same problem?

    I know my DNG files themselves and the info they contain are fine. But they're not properly supported in Mavericks 10.9.4 and I don't plan on switching to Windows. A file that I converted to a DNG using Adobe software is now listed as an unrecognized file in OSX. No thumbnails, no iPhoto, no Aperture. Essentially, no support. And this is a problem. A quick search will show you people with various Sony cameras (A7, RX100 mkI and mkIII, at least) having the same problem.
    No matter where the blame falls, the simple fact is that if you shoot with various Sony cameras, use Adobe software to convert the file to DNG and happen to be an OSX user, you're files are no longer compatible with OSX or Apple's photo software. They will only open in Adobe software. You literally get a warning message from OSX saying, this is an unsupported file type when you try and open it.
    Like I said previously, I've had a managed iPhoto library for about 5 years now, numerous hours of tagging and organzing, and every DNG file converted from a Sony ARW RAW is currently unsupported. Original ARW files work just fine. It's nuts. Maybe it's Adobe's fault. Maybe it's Apple's fault. It really doesn't matter. If DNG is not a reliable standard format under certain edge cases (Sony ARW, DNG converter, OSX Mavericks), it's not a reliable standard format at all. I just hope that Apple or Adobe figures this out, so that I can get those photos back.
    In the mean time, certain users such as myself just can't rely on DNG. End of story.
