Sony NEX 6 RAW import issues with Lightroom 4.3RC or 4.2

Hi all, having a problem with importing images from my Nex 6 or SD card. The image was taken using the 16-50 Sony Kit lens
Lightroom copies the images (RAW) files without a problem. However within lightroom the images get distorted as shown below. I have disabled all options such as lens or camera correction.
The exact same thing happens when I import the file in photoshop CS5 after converting it using DNG Converter.
The original file within the sony software is like this.

What you are seeing in LR is the actual lens-distortion recorded on the sensor. What you’re seeing in the camera JPG is a in-camera-corrected image. Adobe hasn’t gotten around to make a lens profile for your NEX-7 16-50 lens; however, there is one available from the user-community you can retrieve with the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader:

Import issue with Lightroom

I upgraded to LR5.2 2 weeks ago from 4.3. Install went fine, but I'm now having issues when importing my photos, Lightroom hangs partially through the import. The only choice I have then is to force quit the program, which then freezes my computer. Getting to be an invredibly frustrating exercise.
I have an iMac with OSX10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
Lightroom 5.2
Importing & converting CR2 files (5DMkIII) to DNG.
Images being imported to an external hard drive.
Nothing has changed in my workflow or software except for the installation of LR5. I did read in some of the forums that there was import issues that appear to have been fixed with the latest release, however, whilst I DEFINTIELY have the latest release of LR5, this is still occurring. Any ideas? Another bug?
Cheers
Sarah

sure did. All permissions are admin & I'm it. I haven't tried DL via image capture - LR4 gets me to the same end goal, tis just rather onerous to have to muck around with this twice. Appreciate your taking the time on this

Canon 20D import issue with lightroom 4

I have recently upgraded to Lightroom 4 and when I connect my Canon 20D the import screen finds the camera, displays thumbnails. However, when I press the import key the software displays a message that no photos have been found. I tried several times one time it identified the photos however it gave an error message that the photos could not be imported because of an error. What gives

I'm having the same exact issue, using a Canon G11.
Looking on other forums, I've found this:
This issue is fixed in the second Lightroom 4.1 pulic Release Candidate, available for download here:

Raw files imported distorted with Lightroom 3

Hey,
In the last months I started experiencing an issue with Lightroom 3 (is the software that came with my camera) that didn't have at the beginning and AFAIK nothing has changed after I isntalled the lastest version of lightroom 3 and the camera raw plugin.
Recently pretty much every picture I import comes with shifted bands. I know the raw files are ok because other computers load the file correctly. You can see in the car wheel the kind of shifting I am suffering.
Exporting the file to a different format will save the file with the distortion, so it is not just visual.
In all honesty, I don't know how to tackle this, I tried to install any possible updates for camera raw which didn't work and I fear that reinstalling the software might not work or just do temporally till it breaks again. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When you compare the files on other computers and they are ok, are you reading them onto the second computer from the camera memory card in a card-reader or USB-cable attached to the camera, or from some other step further along in the transfer process, such as from one computer’s hard-drive to another?
Anything that happens after the last shared step is suspect.
If you are reading them from the memory card again and they are ok on the second computer, then what happens if you copy the photos, again, onto the first computer? Do the same ones have the same faults in the same locations or are the faults different? If the latter, then something in the transfer process (USB drivers/cable) or the computer, itself (memory, hard-drive), is bad.
If you remove and re-import the files do they still have the same faults in the same locations? If you purge your camera-raw cache and re-develop do the same faults show up? If not then perhaps wherever your raw cache is, is corrupted.
If you want you can try posting one of the files that has been imported into LR and is bad, here, and others can try it on their systems, to make sure the data in the file is bad.
By “posting one of the files” I mean upload it to a large-file-hosting service like www.dropbox.com and then post the public download link, here.

Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?
More information:
My Hauppauge HD PVR settings are set to custom. Video Constant Bit Rate, the average bit rate: 13.5 Mbps. The audio is AAC.

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.

Importing photos with Lightroom (5.3) edits into Photoshop CS5

I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5.3 from version 5.2. I now cannot import photos with Lightroom edits into Photosop CS5. This was not a problem in the previous version. Any advice would be appreciated.

Anyone else having issues with Lightroom 4 crashing constantly?

I'm having an issue with Lightroom 4 crashing constantly. It happens with 4.3 and 4.4 (I was hoping the upgrade to 4.4 would fix the problem but no...) I'm running Windows 8, 16 GbRAM an AMD FX-8120 processor (not sure if that helps or not) an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 Graphics card. Not sure if any other info would help. I've tried deleting/moving the preferences file, creating a new catalogue and all the usual fixes I could think of but to no avail. There doesn't seem to be any particular trigger. I could be in the develop module or the Library Module. It just either gives me the blue screen (sometimes with the error "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which is a somewhat disturbing but unhelpful error) and reboots itself or the screen just goes blank and I have to manually reboot it. I am totally hamstrung without Lightroom and I have clients waiting for their photos. I am at a total loss.. Can someone please help?!?!?!

Sadly my research since having the problem agrees that the AMD FX are not good for what I am doing which thoroughly annoys me as it was recommended by so called professionals when the build was done in Nov last year. These so called professionals also failed to see the need for cooling fans in the box which I believe is definitely contributing to the problem especially when the temp in NZ gets up to 30 deg C I am definitely looking at getting some fans in there ASAP as well. Thanks for the confirmations of the inadequacy of the proc and the heat issues.

Lightroom 5 auto import issues with nikon d90

Hoping someone can help answer my question - I am wondering if Lightroom 5 has any issues with the auto import or tethering feature using a Nikon d90? I was using Lightroom 2 and the auto import feature has no issues with my d90. After I installed Lightroom 5 (Cloud App) and ran it for the first time, the first thing I used was the tethering feature and it worked great for 4 shots. I turned my camera off and then back on again and LR would not recognize my camera any longer for tethering. What's strange is that it will detect it for "Importing from Device" option. So, I went to plan two which was to auto import and that wasn't working at all. I am at a loss. I have a shoot coming up this weekend and need for one of these options to work. Any help is appreciated!!!

I use a D90, but I have never tried tethered shooting with it. Other users might have some suggestions for you, but looking at the list of supported cameras for tethered shooting the D90 is not "officially" supported in Lightroom. So you're probably on your own to find solutions. I know this isn't a lot of help.

Import issue with CR2 file, Lightroom 5.3 & OS X Mavericks

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help. I've just switched laptops and installed LR 5.3 on to OS X Mavericks. Upon import I get an error message saying that the CR2 files are unreadable. So I took the same card and tried to import them on the old cranky laptop that is running Lightroom 5.2 and on OS X Mountain Lion and it imported without a problem (12 photographs took a long time but they were all readable and in LR) This is crazy frustrating. Does anyone know of a way around it? Have I done something wrong? The camera is a Canon 6D and Ive had no issues prior to this with Lightroom 5 on the old lap top.
Thank you!!

Kim,
When LR tells you the file cannot be read, what it really means is that the file cannot be written to the folder that you specified for your Copy or Move operation on import. (Yeah, it's a stupid message.)
Generally, this means that the folder you're writing to is set so that your user ID doesn't have permission to write there.
Try repairing permissions and make sure you have write access.

OS 10.7.4 compatibility issues with lightroom 3

i use lightroom 3. i just had to get a new computer and got a macbook pro with os 10.7.4. lightroom is saying it does not recognize the images on the camera, so it will not import them now. the settings on the camera are still in RAW, so that is no different than it was with my old computer. I'm wondering if it is a compatilbilty issue with the new OS and Lightroom 3?

it says " the following files were not imported because they could not be read" and then says items 1-325, which is all of the images. i am able to view all of the thumbnail images when I go to Import, but it won't acutally import them. The camera is set to RAW only, no JPGS.

Nikon D3100 Raw Import Issues

I am unable to import raw files from a Nikon D3100 to iPhoto 6 (using OS X 10.6.8). The error message is "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Any idea how to resolve this?

The camera model itself has been supported snce Lightroom 3.3 so there should be no issues with LR itself

Workflow "issues" with Lightroom when used to using Bridge

Ive been using bridge & Photoshop to process and edit my RAW images for a few years now. I'd love to move over to using Lightroom to take advantage of its improved features and vastly superior response time. But Im finding working with Lightroom is more cumbersome in the processing part.
With bridge Id find the RAW image I like, adjust it using ACR and one click brigs it into photoshop. I edit the photo and save it as a psd. Often I crop and sharpen or otherwise process the psd file and save the result as a jpg in the best directory. The latter file is typically the one I show. With Bridge doing all this is straightforward.
With Lightroom its more involved. Using the develop module I adjust the image and hit Ctrt-E to edit the picture in Photoshop. A dialog box opens and I always select Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments (be nice if we could say always do this dont ask me each time). The photo now opens in Photoshop but not before Lightroom has created a psd file in my RAW files directory. Why? So now I edit and save the result in my Before crop directory. I then crop and sharpen and save the result in my best directory. Of course Lightroom doesnt see either of my new photos in the B4 crop or best directory so I have to import them.
Is there an easier workflow that Im missing? I dont want psd files in with my RAW files and I want to keep my best files separate.

Mikepa, if you want to keep your PSD and "best files" separate from your raw files, then simply export the raw files to the format of your choice in the folder of your choice. You can later import these to Lr but in my workflow these exported images that I manipulate in Photoshop do not return to Lr. Instead I use Bridge as my TIF/PSD image manger.
In short, Lr for RAW; Bridge for TIF/PSD. Why? I have thousands of RAW files that require the efficiencies that Lr deliver, but the far, far fewer TIF and PSD files I create are handled better in Bridge (with it's tight integration to Photoshop actions and scripts).

Can you export a raw file photo with Lightroom adjustments attached?

Can you export a raw file photo from Lightroom with Lightroom adjustments attached in some way? If not what is the equivalent? There are some individuals I would like to send the full data of the raw file, but with the non-destructive Lightroom adjustments layered on top.
--Gerry

You can select "Original" as the file type, in Export. This saves out a copy of the imported source file into the selected location, labelling the current adjustments onto that image. When this is sent to somebody and imported to LR / opened in ACR, these metadata will be found and used automatically, with the exact same outcome as within your own LR Catalog - provided the LR / ACR versions are sufficiently compatible, and provided camera and lens profiles applied to the image, are present in both contexts.
LR uses whatever method is normal when writing metadata, for each file type involved. So, if one imported file is a proprietary Raw file, LR will write an XMP file alongside. If another is capable of having metadata written into its file header, LR will do that instead.
One important difference between doing this, vs writing LR metadata out to your original imported file, and sending that: the Export Original method will work in the same way, just as successfully, for one or more Virtual Copy versions (duplicating physically as needed), as it will for the primary Master version - relating to a given imported file.

Raw import issue

Recently I had an issue with Aperture not recognizing my Ricoh GR Digital II's RAW files. The fix was to downgrade from Digital Camera Raw 2.3 back to 2.2. Now, after I installed OS X 10.5.6 the problem is back!
-No, I did not accidentally install 2.3 again, I unchecked the box before installing 10.5.6.

Hi,
I ran into the same thing. Found a fix on another discussion board: download and install this apple update:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_Raw_Compatibility_Update_24
Although my camera was not listed as one of the new supported cameras, the update fixed all of the import problems I was running into.
Hope this helps.
