Sony RX100 Mk3 - Image corruption on RAW import to Lightroom

I'm using Abobe CC - newest versions
I just got back from Europe with about 4,000 photos. I noticed a problem when I imported from my new RX100 mk3. It's the first time I've used the camera, which I'm pleased to report creates excellent images for its size.
After importing this massive number of photos, I find:
Jpegs are fine.
RAW is fine generally speaking.
However, when the sony was specifically in continuous bracket mode and shooting RAW (auto-shooting a bracketed set of 3 or 5 photos with one button press), I occasionally got some really crazy artifacts.
Basically thin stripes across the photos where the stripes are misaligned with the rest of the photo.
These artifacts do not appear on the camera LCD screen, and they were not created when the raw images were imported into either iPhoto or Sony PlayMemories software--even when subsequently moved into Lightroom.
The artifacts only occurred when importing the raw images directly into Lightroom from the RX1000 iii (i.e. from the SD card).
Just reporting it. My workaround is to replace the bad ones with imports from other software. But I probably won't be using Lightroom for importing until this is fixed.

Hrm.  That does seem to be the issue as I experienced the same situation as described, with seeing the preview for a few seconds and then it goes crazy.  Just never seen it change so drastically before, and couldn't figure out how to get Lightroom to show it anywhere close to what the preview was.

  • Lack supporting Sony RX100 II in Adobe Camera RAW

    Please, integrate full support Sony RX100 & RX100 II to Adobe Camera RAW. This is a very good and expensive cameras. I replace my Nikon D5100 with Sony RX100 II, and second gives better quality despite very small size. But support in Camera RAW limited to opening ARW files — there are no lens profiles for this cameras: automatic correction of chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting does not work.

    Hi,
    That specific camera doesn't seem supported as far as lens correction profiles in the latest camera raw 8.2 in photoshop cs6/cc, but you could download the
    the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader and search for one.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
    The best match i could find is for the Sony RX100, so you can try them and see if they are satisfactory.
    After you download the profile(s), they should show up in camera raw.

  • Sony DSCRX-100 video files cannot be imported into Lightroom 5.3

    I have lightroom 5.3 running on Windows 7 64-bit. I am unble to import AVCHD video files from my Sony DSCRX-100. I am not sure why, as lightroom 5 supports this video format.

    I got LR to import AVCHD.
    I have the RX100M2.  I shoot stills most of the time, but when I shoot video, I use MP4 output. So I tried an AVCHD to see if I had problems importing.  At first I got the same results. Import did not see it on the SD card. Then I went into the SD card in Windows Explorer to see how the folder structure was laid out. I found a folder PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV with a file 00000.MTS.  I did a drag and drop of the .MTS file onto the LR Grid mode screen. Import came up and the file imported properly. Apparently LR did not see the folder, but when pointed directly to the folder it worked.
    My work environment: Win 7 64bit, LR 5.3.  I hope this helps.

  • What ppi should each image have PRIOR to importing to Lightroom, for creating a BOOK for Blurb?

    I am creating a book for publication with Blurb and all of my images have an exclamation point in the upper right hand corner.  Each has a different message as to what the ppi is and what it will print at.  All of my images are 300 dpi and 1000px at their largest side. What am I doing wrong?  My understanding is for print, 300 dpi is the best HQ resolution. Will I need to resize all in Photoshop and start over and if so, what is the best size for such a project?  Thank you.
    Amanda Wyn

    Your problem is in the 1000px max, not the 300 ppi. 1000px photos are just good enough for small prints. There is no point in trying to print such small files, you need bigger than that, To find out the print dimensions just divide the number of pixels by the print resolution (the usual 300 ppi, but 240 ppi is usually enough for a quality print) . So you'll get a little more than 3.3 in if printed at 300 ppi, 4.1 in @ 240 ppi.

  • LR corrupting my Raw Files

    I've read the other discussions but haven't really seen an answer yet and the typical responses don't seem to apply to my situation.  Here is my situation:
    I'm am getting corrupted RAW files after importing into LR.  Typically this is blamed on Hardware issues but I don't think that is the case for me.  I am getting 1 corrupt file per 100 or so imported.    I've had it happen using different CF cards.  And the file doesn't seem to be corrupt on transfering to my hard drive.  I'm using a Canon 40D.  Using Lightroom 3.2 64bit.  I shoot in RAW.  Here is my work flow.
    I import the photos to my external hard drive via the camera.
    I then back up the originals before importing into Lightroom by burning them to back up discs.
    I then import them into Lightroom from their location.
    Upon initial look everything is fine but when you actually select an image and the preview is fully rendered you can see the corrupt image.  Usually a white rectangle in the bottom right side the image.  Sometimes you get the yellow and pink streaking in that same area as well.
    In trying to open the original file from my hard drive using just my basic Canon Digital Photo Proffesional after it was imported into LR it also states that the image is corrupted. 
    Now if I get out my back up disc and copy that image to my desktop and open it in Canon Digital Photo Proffesional it opens it without problem.  There is no corruption.  So the file that I backed up from my hardrive shows no corruption.  I think the original file is fine.
    I then copied the image from my desktop to the original folder on my external hardrive overwriting it.  The image in lightroom is now fine.  There is no corruption.
    Process of elimination leads me to believe that the corruption happens on importing into Lightroom.  It isn't my cards (different cards same problem).  It isn't my external hardrive as the file copied from that drive is fine.  It seems random especially being that I can overwrite the file with the same file and then it is fine.
    I really hope this problem is sovled quickly.  This to me is a BIG deal.  Any other ideas?

    Thanks, I'll think I'll go ahead and invest in a new hard drive.
    I know about the jpeg preview thing.  The corruption doesn't show until you attempt until it renders the image at full size pulling from the raw.  I know it isn't a display thing as exporting the raw to a jpeg still shows the corruption.  The file is corrupted and attempting to open it with other programs shows the corruption.  It seems odd that the corruption doesn't happen when being placed on the hard drive from my camera as my back up shows no corruption.  The corruption is happening at a later point.  Would an image start out fine on a hard drive and then end up corrupting apart from any program changing it?

  • Anyone else seeing distortion on raw Sony RX100 images again?

    This issue has occurred at least twice since the Sony RX100 came out, and has been fixed twice, but now I seem to be experiencing it a THIRD time. Is it just me, or is this happening to anyone else again-again-again?
    I'm running the latest Mavericks, the latest iPhoto, and whatever the current version of Camera RAW is as of June 2014. I don't know exactly when this "happened" because I haven't edited much in the past month or two, but what I'm seeing is that my raw images from my RX100 are randomly displaying distorted (as if the lens data is being interpreted incorrectly) either in view mode, editing mode, or both. The thumbnail view is always correct...which is the dead giveaway that something is amiss and the images are in fact showing up "wrong."
    If nobody else is seeing this, I'll just make sure my library is safely backed up and wipe my notebook completely and see if I can fix it. However if others are seeing this please chime in so we'll all know we're not crazy and so we can collaborate on getting Apple made well aware that this has somehow broken yet one more time...

    It's super frustrating too, because the editing window comes up correctly at first...but after about a second the image stretches out and looks all wonky.
    Try, if reprocessing the RAW files will help.
    Export one of the distorted files (File > EXport, Kind Originial), and then reimport it.
    That should reprocess the original RAW file, using the reinstalled RAW support.
    Can you now edit the file?  If yes, back up your iPhoto library and try, if rebuilding the library will reprocess all RAW files. 

  • Sony RX100: quality of RAW conversions in LR 4.2 RC

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a Sony RX100 as a replacement for an aging Canon S90. Before that I've tried the fantastic Olympus OM-D (but returned it because of a - for me - serious issue with the Sony-sourced sensor, see here http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1008&message=42126356 and because the support for camera calibration profiles in LR was non-existing). I'm happy to concede that I'm spoiled by the fantastic support LR provides for my D700 and even, S90 RAW images...
    So with that background I've approached the RX100 images with a healty portion of scepticism. What I've found surprised me:
    1) the standard Adobe Standard camera calibration setting gave the best results, the other profiles gave strange (magenta) color casts, especially with direct sun light.
    2) I've found that images taken in parallel with my old S90 to give much nicer colors (though of course with a lot less resolution and more noise) - but again the colors looked much nicer, especially skies, greenery etc. I've also noted (and this was also present with the OM-D images) that the Sony image conversions has a touch too much red tint, which I had to correct manually (this doesn't happen with D700 and S90 images).
    So, I'd like to post my first impressions here for comments ;-)
    Did anybody else have similar results? Maybe I did something wrong?

    Is the DNG opened in PS as a normal picture (not in the ACR dialoge!) with the title "xyz.DNG"? If that is the case, it is actually correct. When LR detects a compatible ACR (which happened after you installed ACR 6.7), it will pass the raw/DNG directly to PS without rendering a TIFF on its own. The file name indicated by photoshop is the original raw/DNG file then.
    When you save the picture in photoshop, it will create the actual image file using the file type and other options (color space, bit depth...) you configured in Lightroom. So the outcome of the whole "edit in..." action is exactly what you want, with Photoshop creating the image file at the time you save it.
    P.S. What happened before updating to ACR 6.7 was that probably sometimes before, the ACR compatibility warning dialog appeared and you chose "render using lightroom", causing LR to produce the TIFF file on its own and Photoshop to load that TIFF file, and consequently also displaying "xyz.TIFF". Now that LR considers ACR 6.7 as compatible, that behaviour is replaced with the new behaviour as described above - and the warning dialog no longer appears.

  • Lightroom 3 Corrupting .CR2 RAW files on import

    I have never used RAW files before yesterday.  About to shoot a wedding in a couple days so desperately need a fix or at least some advice for a workaround. 
    Here's my hardware list:
    Canon 7D
    SanDisk Ultra II 2 & 4 GB CF cards
    Windows 7 64x
    Internal card reader, not some flimsy USB thing
    Lightroom 3
    Problem:
    After importing .CR2 RAW files using Lightroom 3, not Bridge, I found that some (not all) of the images appear to be corrupted.  On the camera they look fine. 
    For a short moment, in Lightroom, they look fine, but then after clicking the thumbnail they instantly develop strange corruptions, like pink/yellow/opaque static. 
    This is not one of my photos, but the corrupted image looks just like this: http://thekuipers.org/images/IMG_2279.jpg
    Used some advice and downloaded Fast Picture Viewer, which allows me to view the .CR2s in the folder I imported to, and MOST of them look fine now.  Reimported to LR and now only like 8 of 200 images are corrupted.  They still export to .jpg as corrupted.
    I had formatted my CF cards immediately after importing, only to find the corruptions after.  Using Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery to try to reimport manually the residual data from CF cards.  Will know if that works soon.

    From previous posts on this forum there are several things that can cause this type of corruption on import; faulty, CF cards, card reader, cable, and RAM.
    On my system it turned out to be faulty ram. Since changing my ram I have not experienced any further problems.

  • Image Corrupted After Import into LR4?

    Several times now I've imported images into LR4 from my External HD and and a few the files are corrupted. (See attached image)
    I realize that LR is not suppose to do anything to the files on the disk when importing... but I've checked the RAW images from back-ups and they are not corrupted prior to import into LR. AFTER import into LR the actual file (on the external HD) IS corrupted in both LR and then on the External HD.
    My workflow has been to copy files from my CF  Card to the External HD (Western Digital 3 TB) ino the appropriate file... then go to LR4 and import.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem is?  I replaced the Card Reader... same problem occurs.  I've checked numerous RAW files in Bridge... none are shown as corrupted (prior to LR4 import)

    The corruption may or may not be “sudden”.  If things look ok in Library then it happened sometime between initial preview building during import and you’re viewing the image in Develop.   If the last place things looked ok was in the Import thumbnail grid, then that is only showing the camera-embedded previews, so the images may be corrupted on the card, already. 
    The most important thing is to determine what the problem is, where the corruption comes from, so you can fix it.  It could be the camera, the card, the camera-to-computer USB cable, the card-reader, the usb-slot, the computer-memory, the computer hard-drive, the USB-drivers, LR, itself, or some other software, like Microsoft Security Essentials has caused problems for some people in the past, although why is not really understood. 
    If the corruption is still occurring with the latest images, then you can experiment by changing one or more of the components mention above, and see if things are ok or still corrupted.
    As far as recovery, if part of the image data is missing or zeroed out overwritten with random junk, there’s no way to get that bad data, back, from the existing file because the files, themselves, only have one copy of the data.
    The three things I can think of to suggest are:
    1)      If the preview in Library doesn’t show the corruption then there are ways to retrieve the previews from the LR preview cache as JPGs.  This isn’t the same as the RAW data, but is better than nothing.
    2)      If the camera-embedded preview has not been damaged—it is typically stored in front of the raw data so depending on where the damage is, it could be intact, then there are ways to extract the camera-embedded preview from the raw file, which again is better than nothing.
    3)      The best thing is if you have a backup of the images that don’t show the corruption, either because the images are still on the card, or because you made a backup during import and the corruption happened sometime after import, then you could copy those over the top of the corrupted files and be ok.
    These things may or may not be possible depending on your situation, though.  If you don’t have any backups that are ok, and LR’s previews are bad, and the in-camera preview is tiny or also damaged, then you’ll entirely out of luck for those images.  And things maybe really bad if it’s the hard-drive that’s failing and you have no backups of your images, there, either.  It is important to determine what is wrong, and with the least effect on the images that are still good.

  • Sony rx raw import in Aperture 3.4.5???

    Hi,
    I just purchased Aperture 3.4.5. hoping that it would be able to import my ARW file for my RX100M2. This doesn't seem to work. Pulling a picture into the Aperture window just brings an unsupported file format even though it says it should support in Apple's support pages.
    Is there any solution to this?
    Thanks

    Run "➞Software Update".  You need the most recent version of Apple RAW Compatibility Update (4.08) in order to convert Sony RX100 II files.  For Apple computers, the RAW converter is part of the OS, not part of the apps.
    NB: many users of Nikon cameras have reported problems with this newest update, as have users of the original RX cameras.  If you have files created with any of those, read some of the recent threads before upgrading.
    Imho, using Aperture's import dialog is a much more useful method of importing files into a Library.  "Aperture➞Import ... "

  • RAW images are "locked"when imported into LR

    I just got a new camera (Sony alpha 6000) and all my RAW images that I attempt to import into LR 4.4 are "locked" and therefore, cannot be imported.
    When I click on the photo in my HD file and look at the "Get Info" the photo is not "locked". 
    Can't find any setting on my camera that shows the photo as "locked".  Anyone know if this is a LR problem or a Sony problem?
    I have a Nikon D40 that has no problem uploading RAW images to my LR 4.4.
    Thanks for any help!!

    Sony Alpha 6000 raw files require at least Lightroom 5.4.
    You would need to upgrade Lightroom, or use the free Adobe DNG converter version 8.6 to convert your RAWs to DNG and then import those into Lightroom.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw?

How do I get the correct version?  . . .
