Tethered shooting directly into Lightroom.

The way I currently import my photos into lightroom is via compact flash card, where i convert my RAW files to DNG upon imports.
Being able to shoot tethered directly into lightroom would reduce the need for another software & therefore make for a more efficient
workflow. Particularly when shooting products where we can view on a big screen as we shoot. Thanks for a great software thus far!

hope they will make it possible in LR 3.0

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • How do I scan directly into Lightroom from Fujitsu Scansnap

    I want to scan archival family photos into Lightroom directly from my Fujitsu Scansnap ix500.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks!
    /john

    Lightroom does not have any provisions to work with a scanner. You will need to use other software to scan your images and  store them on your hard drive. Then you can import them into Lightroom from there.

  • Lightroom 3.0 / 3.2 tethered shooting with 550d

    Hey guys and girls,
    Just starting using lightroom and have had success shooting tethered with my 400d and 550d through the EOS utility but when i go to shoot directly into lightroom i can only use my 400d.
    Is there anything special I have to do to get my 550d working? or is it just unsupported for tethered shooting?
    cheers
    Jase

    yeah, i tried that approach and it works fine but i think its a bit slow for quickly prievewing the image for focus/exposure.
    I have to wait for the pic to be copied across to the computer, and once LR realises its there, it then has to import it into the library generate prievew etc.
    Its alright with jpegs but shooting cr2's at 20ish mB a frame takes a bit of time.
    Any ideas for speeding that up? my light room catalogue and watched folder are on the same drive so that shouldn't be an issue.
    thanks for the help guys.  this is great!

  • Tethered shooting with Nikon D700

    Hi all,
    I am working on a hardware/software plan to streamline my digital photography workflow. I have been doing some research
    on tethered shooting with Nikon and came across this blog post by Scott Kelby. My question is.....do I need to spend the 160.00 on
    Nikon's 'Camera Control Pro 2' software on top of the 260.00 for Adobe's 'Lightroom 2' software in order to shoot tethered into Lightroom 2?
    Can a person just shoot directly into Lightroom 2?
    Are any of you out there shooting tethered into Lightroom 2? Can you expand on the details of your workflow?
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    Best,
    Dennis

    Hi
    At this stage LR hasn't the ability to tether to a camera without additional software. this is a feature that has been asked for many times.  I do not know of any other software that comes close to the functionality of  Nikon CC Pro 2 for those on a PC. I use CC Pro 2 with LR 2.4 and a D2Xs and although it may take 5-6 seconds for an image to appear using a watched folder it is a wonderful way to shoot for specific situations such as low light panos or with clients wanting to view your work on-site.
    CC Pro 2 allows you to work unobtrusively once you are set up and is particularly good for candids or photography in a public space as people are not put off by the photographer behind the camera. I would suggest a setup like Kelby's or McNally's which uses a Manfrottos accessory arm to place your laptop next to your camera as any other method is a pain if you are moving equipment around. In low light I would close the viewfinder to ensure stray light doesn't affect the exposure.
    Regards

  • Importing into Lightroom with card reader doesn't show previews

    I am using Lightroom 2.4 with Adobe 5.4 Raw on a Windows XP based laptop -- however the problem I am having also presents on my desktop which also uses Lightroom 2.4 with Adobe 5.4 and Windows XP.  In fact the issue is completely the same on both computers:   When I try to import photos directly into Lightroom using a card reader, the interface opens, but does not show the previews -- and yes, the show preview box is checked.  The preview boxes are there, but they are completely greyed out.  If I use the same card reader but direct it to open into Photoshop Elements it shows the previews and it also shows them in Bridge for CS4. So clearly the problem doesn't lie with the computer or card or cardreader.   It seems only in Lightroom that the previews do not show up.  Adobe raw supports my camera which is set to shoot raw and it also makes a JPG copy, but neither show up.
    I spent more than an hour with a tech trying to get this to work and didn't solve the problem.  I'm hoping that someone has some bright ideas that will help me out.
    Phyllis Perkins

    I tried to respond before, but I think the message didn't go through.  Sorry.  Because my Lightroom hasn't been working the way it is supposed to, I have been doing what you suggest -- saving the photos from my card reader to a file through Bridge -- which does open the previews -- and then importing them to Lightroom.  But it means one extra step and Lightroom's strength is supposed to be work flow, so I would like to get it to work properly.  I think that if the card reader were faulty -- and the problem occurs with several different card readers -- that it wouldn't show the previews in Bridge or even Photoshop Elements, which it does.  So I think there is some problem with Lightroom, not the card reader.  Any other suggestions?  I'd be happy to know about them.  Meanwhile, thanks for your reply.

  • Re Importing into Lightroom 4.1

    My photographic equipment consists of a Nikon D 7000 ( set to RAW) and a P 5000 (JPEG). My computer is an iMac with Lightroom 4.1 installed. Up until recently it has been possible to import from the SD cards directly into Lightroom via the reader in the side of the Mac. As of late the program will let me see the previews but when I attempt to import the images a message pops up that the files cannot be read! I can import them into 'iPhoto' but this is not where I want them! Can any one please suggest what has caused this new problem? I eagerly await any suggestions. With Thanks.

    Dear tlsteinb.Thanks for your reply. I tried the ejection of the external drive as you suggested. To no avail! It is still a mystery to me. I do not know if i have to change a setting on the camera, the computer, or the program! I tried to send a 'chat' message to Adobe directly.How successful that will be we will wait and see! I shall keep you posted. Regards, Rae Dall

    Just this morning I've begun experiencing the same thing. I can get the photos off the card and onto the iMac desktop for instance, but they won't import into Lightroom 4 from either the card reader or the desktop. So my assumption is that my card reader is working fine, but Lightroom is not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Prevent uploading files to open directly in Lightroom 5

  • Possible to export photos from Adobe Bridge directly to Lightroom?

    I have thousands of images previously imported and processed in Adobe Bridge. I would like to open my original folders in Bridge, review the images and export only selected images directly to Lightroom. Is it possible to do this or must I import the original folder directly into Lightroom and make my selections by unchecking boxes?
    I would also like to import my keywords list from Bridge into Lightroom and apparently that can be done under the Metadata tab in Lightroom, but how do I navigate to the keyword list in Bridge,? Where is it located? Thanks. Bernie M

    Judith:
    Bridge does have a keyword hierarchy (Keyword sets). I'm not sure if it is brought in to LR as such, but the keywords do come into LR adequately for my purposes. Also, please remember that I am now only using Bridge for older archived folders that were originally processed in Bridge and all new photos are imported directly to Lightroom.
    When I select images in Bridge and drag them into Lightroom, all unselected images remain in their original folders, as do the selected images. The selected images are just for my Lightroom Library -- for my normal working practice. If I understand LR, the images brought into LR are not new copies, they are in a sense "aliases" for working purposes and the originals reside in their original folders. In fact if you have the original folders on an external harddrive that is not connected, you cannot modify the images in LR until you reconnect the external drive. So, when you say you load everything into LR you should be aware that the original images are NOT in LR but remain in their original folder, wherever that resides.

  • Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Thank you for your response.
    I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
    In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file."

  • Tethered shooting incompatibility

    Is there a plug-in for tethered shooting in Adobe Lightroom 5 with a Nikon D2x?

    NicHamilton wrote:
    Since LR 4.1 is listed as supporting the 1D mk2 it may indeed well be Yosemite that is the issue (or part of it).
    As to why current versions of LR don't support a nine year old camera model it's very possibly down to changes in Canon's SDK rather than Lr
    This.
    Canon (and maybe Nikon too?) eventually abandons old camera support in the SDK.
    Tha said - see this page about the 1D Mk II:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
    "Supported only through Lightroom 4.1."
    So Lr 3.3 and 4.1 should work, suggesting that the problem isn't with Lr.

  • When will lightroom support tethered shooting with the NIKON D4S?

    when will lightroom support tethered shooting with the NIKON D4S?

    Okay so I should be asking Adobe direct, thanks.
    I did find that Nikon released the developer software for the D4S back in february so just could'nt uderstand the delay especially as adobe never seems to be late taking my money each month.

  • Lightroom auto import/tethered shooting strangeness

    Hello, I'm trying to work out a tethered shooting workflow for the 1Ds MKIII that can keep up with a fairly rapid lifestyle shooter. I'm on a Windows XP system, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 duo system with 3 GB of ram. I'm seeing this same behavior in LR 1.3 and LR 2.0 beta.
    I've followed the steps Martin Evening outlines on his blog (Canon EOS utility in conjunction with Lighroom auto import) here http://lightroom-news.com/2008/02/07/shooting-tethered-with-the-canon-eos-1ds-mkiii/ and everything is working _almost_ smoothly.
    When I fire off a single frame with the camera, it takes about 5 seconds for the Canon EOS utility to copy the file to the hard drive and for lightroom to see and move the file from the watched folder to the destination folder. This seems reasonable.
    However, when I start shooting at a normal pace (approximately 1 frame a second) it seems like Lightroom stops watching the watched folder until I stop shooting for an extended period of time.
    I would have thought Lightroom checked the folder at a standard interval, every 5 seconds or so. However, if I snap, say 40 frames at the rate of 1 a second, Lightroom doesn't realize there are new images in the watched folder until I stop shooting and let the camera's buffer empty out.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know if there is a registry hack to force lightroom to check the watched folder more frequently? Even better would be a hook, like a command line switch, that tells LR to check the watched folder immediately. The EOS utility 'linked software' preference could be configured to call this hook, and would result in much snappier performance.
    Thanks for the help,
    Andris

    Hi Andris,
    It strikes me that you have hit the maximum buffer that the combination of the Windows OS, EOS Utility and Lightroom are capable of managing. As you will have read in the report, I was able to fine-tune the tethered import to a rate of 3 seconds per capture image. This was with an Intel iMac 2.8 GHz duo core running Windows XP with 4 GB RAM. So a little faster than your Windows machine, which would explain why my download tests were faster.
    Look at it this way. There is the usual buffer of up to 12 frames on the camera in raw mode, which when combined with the 2 seconds it takes to transfer say, 25MB data from the camera to the computer via USB 2. This means that you can shoot at a rate of 1 frame per second, but will soon hit the camera buffer first in around 20 seconds or so at that rate. it takes about a further 1 second for the files to auto import into Lightroom and as you point out, Lightroom appears to do this in bursts. How to speed that up, I don't know. What I do know is that any background activity will slow down the import. On a shoot this week I was busy building an export of high res JPEGs from the catalog as I was shooting more downloads and as one would expect, this did affect the performance.
    It would be nice if the tethered shooting could be made faster, but as far as I am aware, this combination is the fastest yet and certainly faster than downloading from a card. As for Capture One, I don't know yet if they have managed to get tethered shooting sorted out for the MkIII.

  • Lightroom 3 Tethered shooting and printing

    I have a very specific question.  I need to shoot guests at a part in a "photo booth" style.  I want to shoot tethered directly into LR3 and then have my assistant print the images as I continue to shoot the guests.  However, I'm having a problem setting up the workflow.  When we are in the print dialog setting up an image to print if I shoot another picture, LR3 automatically updates the working image to the newest capture.  Basically this means that we can't simultaneously shoot and print at the same time. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around this?  Thank you, I really appreciate it.
    Jacob

    I'm at work now, I'll try it when I get home.  I spent I don't know how much time looking through the menus for an option just like this.  It sounds like it will do exactly what I need it to.  Thank you,
    Jacob

  • Lightroom 3.2 Tethered shooting with Nikon D7100

    I have a laptop Windows Vista which will not allow me to upgrade Lightroom 3.2 to 5.3. I have bought a Nikon D7100. Is it possible to
    enable the older version of LIghtroom 3.2 to recognise the Nikon D7100 for tethered shooting?
    Cheers.

    No, Lightroom 3.2 does not recognize D7100 RAW files, and cannot tether to it.
