Sony files imported as DNG into Lightroom 5 have no thumbnails in Finder

I use Lightroom 5 and always convert my RAW files into DNG format when I import photos.  Since I converted to OS X the DNG thumbnails from my Sony NEX camera do not show up in Finder.  The DNG files coming from my Canon camera do show up as thumbnails.  This is a royal pain since you can't see the photos to identify which one you want without opening it up in Lightroom.  I have checked with Adobe and they are very clear that this is an Apple problem - which my experience would seem to support since the problem started when I converted to OS X.  Any solutions?

Thanks for your reply.
Mac does support previewing dngs in finder and preview. This has not been a problem before (besides when using my fujufilm compact camera, which mac now has updated the Apple camera for).
To answer your Q about dng files. Thats exactly what i do. I have work which involves communicating/transfering multiple lr -edited files to someone else whom further edits in ps. Not only that, I personally use dng as a way of storing my files. I suppose like to keep my files tidy and uniform.
Any mac users out there who has a a solution to my issue with previewing dngs?

  • Import Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom 3

    If I understand correctly I must upgrade to Lightroom 4.3 or get a converter in order to import my Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom?
    Not sure if I understand it correct?  Which is the best way?

    I use LR 3.6 with the latest updates for camera raw for this version, I believe it's 6.7, and my D7000 and its NEF's were correct handled.
    Did nothing else as install the program, update every time there was an update and in September when I bought the D7000 LR worked fine with his NEF's. Before I had a D40x which was als correctly handled.

  • Can't import iphoto library into Lightroom

    Lightroom does not appear to recognise my pics in the Mac iphoto library.  I can import from other folders/files but not directory from iphoto. Likewise I can't export a photo back into iphoto once it has been "developed" in Lightroom.
    Do I have to change some preferences or something? 

    I recently changed my pc for a mac and all my old photo files were transferred across into iphoto and any new photos from my camera were imported straight into iphoto.   I have since started a course where we use Lightroom but find I can't import any photos stored in iphoto into Lightroom.  iphoto is always "shaded out" in the list when I try to import into Lightroom.
    What do you suggest I do in order to import these photos into Lightroom?

  • Can't import any images into lightroom 5

    Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

    Thank you for your response,
    ...my complete goofiness.
    I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
    So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

  • Can't import Nikon video into Lightroom 5

    I just noticed that I can no longer import .MOV files from my Nikon D800 into Lightroom 5. I am running on Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a Macbook Pro, LIghtroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1. I plug the camera into the USB port of my macbook pro (don't have a SD slot on my macbook pro)
    When I click import in Lightroom the .MOV files don't even show up at all in the import dialog.
    When I tried to import video from my iPhone 5, they showed up on the import screen and I was able to succesfully import them.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    The camera does show up on the import dialog box when the camera is connected.
    Photographs taken just before and after the video show up in the import window, just not the videos.
    The camera has both an SD card and a compact flash card. The images and video were saved to the compact flash card. To be safe I took the SD card out of the camera, the camera LCD display can still show the  images and video on the camera display, but in lightroom 5 I only see the still images not the video in the import window.
    Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Importing from camera into lightroom when camera is connected

    I used to be able to import photos into lightroom when my camera is connected. I somehow am no longer able to do this, maybe because of updates, but I am not sure? I am using version 1.3.1 on a pc running windows vista professional, and my camera is a Canon Rebel Xti. The problem I have is that using windows to import is too slow and it has caused duplicate filenames of files. So I'd love to be able to have lightroom import from the camera like it used to. Cheers

    Hello. I've seen photographers have portrait setups that have the camera connected to the computer, and as soon as they take a picture, the new image is imported.
    I tried using "auto import" but it's not working properly. I'm shooting Nikon D200 and it has 2 USB modes: P2P and Mass Storage. In the former, I can't have "auto import" on because it needs to read from a folder and it's being read as a "device" instead. In the latter, I'd have to disconnect the camera to take the picture, reconnect it, but it doesn't detect a change (new picture) and so it won't auto-upload. I also have Bridge CS3 which I believe should do what I want it to do, but can't find it on there either.
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • How to import Bridge Labels into Lightroom 3.4

    I have  close to 500,000  images all neatly labeled in Bridge.  They have the color labels for: (red) select,  (yellow)second, review, to do (the basic standard adobe created labels)  nothing customized.
    After importing my entire collection into lightroom (27 hours) nothing at all remained of these labels.  Making this thing entirely useless.
    I cannot imagine why two adobe products would not share defaults like this or am I missing something obvious?
    Does anyone know how to import the labels from Bridge into lightroom? (keep in mind that I know nothing of lightroom so make it baby steps)
    thanks

    You also wrote:
    "Even the stars from Bridge do not register in Lightroom..."
    Yes, they do.
    Allow me to do a bit of explanation how LR works, here:
    Bridge and LR work differently, and it is important to understand this difference.
    Bridge works as a file browser. Whatever you put into a folder / or a drive  Bridge will "see" it  (as long as it is image-related).
    For instance if you do a name change for an image file or a folder in your OS, Bridge has no trouble "seeing" the changed file or folder.
    LR doesn't work as a file browser. LR creates and works with a database called Catalog. LR does not "see" an image-file unless it is imported. Importing means adding it to the Catalog. You can have any number of images on a drive / in a folder that LR does not "see" as long as they are not imported into LR.
    That means, -  in the case of a change of file name and/or folder name that you do outside of LR (for instance in Bridge), - that LR cannot "see" this folder / image file. LR still has this image / folder in the Catalog under its old name and when it looks for it, it can't find it because the name has changed. LR then flags this file / folder as "missing". "Missing" in this sense doesn't mean that the folder  / the image is not on the drive; "missing" means that LR cannot find it.
    LR can also create, work with and read xmp-files, also called sidecar files. XMP-files are small files that contain mnetadata, such as the camera settings, the date & time, the title, caption, etc - but also develop / edit metadata. When you use the Camera Raw feature in Bridge and edit the image, Bridge writes the data into the xmp-file. Also, things like color labels and ratings stars are written into the xmp-file.
    To bring these into LR you have to make LR read the xmp-file. You do this in the Library Module by going to >Metadata > Read Metadata from File.
    But be careful here. When LR reads the data from file that means also that whatever you did in LR (and did not save to xmp), will be overwritten when there is a conflict. So for instance, if you did image editing in Bridge, and late you did image editing in LR (on the same image) and you then select "Read Metadata from File", your LR-edits will be supplanted by the Bridge-edits.
    To resolve this you have to make LR your only image editor. Also it is advisable to save your LR edits to xmp. You do this via Ctrl / Cmd. + letter "S" or > Metadata > Save Metadata to file. If you do this Bridge will be able read and display your LR-edits.

  • Import lens profile into Lightroom 4.3

    Hi,
    As my camera is fairly "old", lightroom does not have a lens correction profile for it. I have created a lens correction profile with Adobe Lens Profile Creator. Now how can I import this profile in Lightroom?
    Thanks

    Are you are on a Mac?  I am on Windows and the locations for the profiles given above are for Windows, not a Mac.
    With LR 4.3, you cannot put the user profiles into the folder with the Adobe profiles.  I can't tell you how things work on a Mac nor exactly where they should go without Googling where user profiles go on a Mac.
    I can say that I put the profile you supplied into this exact folder on my Windows 7 computer and it worked right off, as soon as I enabled lens profile corrections for the JPG:
    C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded
    as evidenced by the righthand panel in this screenshot:
    However, as you can see with the before and after portion of the screenshot, there appears to be something wrong with at least the vignetting correction, because the corners are over-lightened, and almost the entire image is much brighter with the lens profile applied.  I've never created a lens profile to know if what I'm seeing is due to a common mistake when creating profiles such as uneven lighting, or if perhaps the profile doesn't have enough different focal-length combinations so it is applying a correction for a completely different position of the lens and overlightening.  Or perhaps the vignetting has already been corrected in the JPG that was supplied so now it is being double-corrected by applying the profile, again.

  • Cannot import iphone movies into lightroom 3

    I am unable to import movies made by an iphone 4s into Lightroom 3.6 running on a macbook pro (OS X 10.8.3). The still images are imported fine via the import function of Lightroom. The import page shows the movies, tries to import them but than hangs (even on very small files of80mb)
    With ImageCapture from Apple I am able to transfer the files form the iphone onto the macbook. So the problem lies not in transferring te files from the iphone. Importing the movies from the harddisk into lightroom doesn't work either. 
    Help would be greatly appreciated

  • Import Elements catalog into Lightroom

    Hi everybody,
    I used PSE on my notebook for a couple of years now. As i bougth a new pc recently I want to upgrade to Photoshop CC / Lightroom. So here is my question:
    Is it possible to import my elements catalog into Lightroom including my tags?
    I still have got my copy of Elements 11 installed on my notebook, I´ve got a trial copy of PSE 13 on my new pc and already imported my catalog. I also installed Lightroom 5.6 on the pc.
    I already looked on the internet but I only found one video which shows the solution I need but on Lightroom 3 and the function used in the video isn´t avalible in 5.6 any more.
    If you need any more information please feel free to ask.

    Roy, I am 99% certain that importing PSE 7 catalog to LR 2 is not possible at this time. The release cycles of the products did not coincide for that to happen. However you can import from PSE 6 I believe.
    I feel sure that this will be addressed soon........... but don't know when.

  • How do I Import PSE12 Catalog into Lightroom 4.4

    New to Lightroom and I have version 4.4. I have Photoshop Elements 12 installed and I'm trying to import the catalog to Lightroom. I manage this quite easily with a trial version of Lightroom 5  but in 4.4 if I go to File/Import Photos and Videos or Import from another Catalog there is no option to import from the installed PSE12. So how do do it.

    Albums will not transfer via this method of writing metadata to files, because album metadata is never written to files.
    The only way to transfer albums is by converting them to keywords, as 99jon said, or by waiting until Adobe releases a new version of Lightroom that will properly convert PSE12 catalogs to Lightroom catalogs (and neither I nor anyone else here knows when that will be).
    As a supplement to 99jon's advice, it is my opinion that you should organize via PSE tags (called keywords in Lightroom), and then you won't have this issue of transferring information from album names to keywords in PSE and then back to collection in Lightroom. Tags/keywords are written to the metadata when you inform PSE or Lightroom to do so, and so if you convert the PSE albums names to PSE tags you should just leave them as tags in the future, and leave the information as keywords in Lightroom in the future. In my opinion, there is zero benefit and considerable drawbacks (mainly your time) converting these to keywords to collections in Lightroom. And if you're going to leave these as keywords in Lightroom, then there's also zero benefit and considerable drawbacks to making the PSE tag name "Album New York", just make it "New York".

  • Importing from camera into lightroom with camera picture styles in tact (camera neutral)

    I use the Camera Neutral picture style on my Canon 5D mark ii when shooting landscape photogtraphy.  I would like my photos to remain Camera Neutral when I import them.  However, Lightroom always defaults the photos to Adobe Standard.  Is there any way to make this not happen?  I am fairly new to lightroom (used for 5 months) and would really appreciate the help as I am trying to import 16 gigs of Wallowa Mountain photogtraphy, and do not want to change each photo manualy.

    If you always want Camera Neutral picture style to be applied, then open one of your images that you have imported and have changed nothing else in Lightroom.  Set the camera profile to Camera Neutral and save new camera default settings.  Then whenever you import that setting will be applied to all of your images.
    If you don't always want that style, you could save a preset that applies the Camera Neutral picture style, and then you could choose to use that preset during the import process.
    It is simply a matter of determining your workflow and then setting things the way you want them to work.

  • If I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements, I can't seem to re-import it back into Lightroom. If I open the relevant folder on my Mac the image is present, but Lightroom just doesn't "see" it at all.

    For some reason, my (Mac) Lightroom 5 won't recognise images in folders on my Mac that I've edited in either Photoshop Elements or Perfect Effects 8. If I've previously imported images from a specific folder, Lightroom will show these as greyed-out images (as normal) but will not show other images I've subsequently saved in that folder. Similarly, if I, say, select three images from Lightroom to use the Photomerge option in Elements, the subsequent saved image won't be recognised by Lightroom.
    I've tried moving locations, saving in umpteen different formats etc., but the problem persists. No problem importing existing images from either SD card or old folders on the computer.
    It's very frustrating!

    Ah-Ha! Right, think I've worked out the problem!
    When I save a photo from Photoshop, I often place it on the desktop with a view to e-mailing it or posting it somewhere on the internet. I've just looked at the file that was supposedly saved as a .psd, but under "properties" it has no file extension. So I added the .psd and bingo, up it popped in the LR import window! I've since gone into Photoshop preferences & ticked it to add a file extension. That's really odd - I've never deselected that option but, hey ho, mystery solved.
    Many thanks for your patience Mr Paige, I should have looked at this before. Put it down to advancing senility...
