Trouble importing raw in lightroom 3.6

I have lightroom 3.6 and camera raw 6.6 ... i  can't import photos (raw CR2) from my canon EOS 5D Mark III ... please any help would be appreciated

What Keith said.
The Canon 5D Mark III was first supported by Lightroom 4.1.

Adobe never adds support to older versions so LR3 will never support your camera.
Either upgrade to the latest Lightroom 5.3 or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert Raw Mark III files to DNGs. Then open the DNGs in Lightroom 3.6

  • Trouble Importing Raw Images from my Mac. Help?

    Hello! I have a Mac and I was trying to import my raw images on to Lightroom 5. When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images. Is this happening because they are raw images? I imported raw images before and never had this problem. So I tried importing it again straight from my flash drive instead of the folder but it does not let me select any of the images either. I'm on a deadline and I need to import these photos asap. Please let me know what options I can try to fix this. Thanks in advance!

    When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images.
    This is because these photos have previously been imported into Lightroom, and thus by default cannot be imported a second time. In fact, it is not a good idea to import photos a second time, and completely unnecessary. What you should do is find the photos in the Library Module and then work with the photos that you have just found that have been previously imported.

  • Trouble importing RAW from Canon 50D to Lightroom 3.3

    I've searched the forum and can't find much reference to this -- I shoot with a Canon 50 in RAW format only.  When I attempt to import from the camera (File -> Import Photos then select Canon EOS 50D as source) into lightroom 3.3 (same with 3.1, 3.2), no photos appear in the import window.
    As an experiment, when I changed the format to JPEG, the JPEG photos appeared in the dialog as I would expect.
    My operating system is Windows 7 64 and I am using Lightroom 3.3 64-bit version.  In the help menu under the version is says "Camera Raw 6.3"  On the 50D the Raw format is set to "Raw" rather than S-Raw-1 or S-Raw-2.
    I am able to import the photos by importing through the Canon utility and then importing those photos into Lightroom.
    Any help you can give would be appreciated.  File management is starting to become an issue.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the replies.
    First, I don't have a card reader and yes, I probably should get one eventually.  To clarify, import is not slow, it simply does not even attempt to import.  When I connect my 50D with a card full of RAW files, LR detects it but it shows "No Photos Found."  I honestly don't think that it is LR's fault, it really seems like there is some obvious setting I have missed on either my camera or LR.
    Thanks.

  • Cannot import RAW into Lightroom 4 (Sony@500)

    I am unable to import my RAW files into Lightroom 4.  My camera is a Sony Alpha 500 DSLR.
    All reasearch I've done online hasn't resulted in any help.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Give a little more info. Are you trying to import direct from the camera, from a card reader, or are the files on your hard drive.
    If you are getting a message that the files "could not be read" it is possible that you may be trying to copy the files to a location where you may not have full permission to read and write.
    Your camera is listed as supported.
    Are you updated to the latest version of LR 4.4?

  • Anybody had trouble importing raw images into Lr2.3 from a Nikon D5000?

    I get an error message that says "file not supported or damaged" when I try to import my D5000 raw images (.nef) into Lr 2.3

    Nikon D5000 was first supported by LR 2.4.
    Why don't you ugrade to LR 2.7 (it's free), if not LR3 (not so free ...)? Alternatively you can use Adobe DNG converter (5.4 or higher) to convert your NEFs to DNG and import them into LR2.3.

  • Trouble importing photos into Lightroom 3

    I was no longer able to  import photos into Light room 3 so I removed everything to "My Pictures" to a folder named Light room Photos and uninstalled and reinstalled Light room, but when I try to import my photos back into Light room from that folder it "no photos found" which was why I tried this to begin with as whenever I tried to import from a memory card it came up with "no photos found.  Any ideas?@

    I'm having the same problem as you.
    Lightroom 5.2 has been running for a year and now it's just stops importing from my CF cards.
    Is that the same problem, or a different problem?
    What is the error message?
    I've got Permissions set to allow me to do anything so, that ain't the issue either.
    This is often the first response and when we insist that we see screen captures of the Import dialog box and the permissions on the folder specified under "Destination", it turns out the permissions are not set properly.
    So, we need to see screen captures of both your Import dialog box and the permissions on that exact folder specified under Destination

  • Problem importing raw files from camera

    Hello I am new to digital photography and am having trouble importing raw files from my panasonic lumix g1 into elements 7.  I can import them into the software that came with the camera, but I would rather use photoshop.  Can anybody advise me on this?
    Many thanks

    You need to install ACR 5.4 into your PSE 7. Note: ACR 5.5 the latest ACR is still in beta form and will not yet install in PSE 7.
    Follow this link for ACR 5.4:-

  • Importing raw format pics to PSE 12

    Am having trouble importing raw format pics from Canon 70D to PSE 12.  Was told PSE 12 had all necessary software for that.  When try to download, message telling me that PSE 12 does not support my camera or format type.  Do I need to save my photos with different extension than cr2before importing?   Do I need to download PNG or updated software from Adobe site?  Thanks  for any help.  Rob

    PSE12 ships with ACR8.0/8.1. Support for the 70D was in ACR8.2. Run Help> Updates, this updates  to ACR8.4 and you will have 70D support.

  • Problems importing video into Lightroom 5.3

    I am using LR 5.3 on a Macbook running Mavericks.  Since upgrading from Lightroom 4 I have had trouble importing videos into Lightroom. 
    The generic video thumbnail appears, but the import hangs and never completes.  When cancelling the import the error message is shown "No photos or video were found to import."
    After reading on various forums I have tried:
    restarting computer (many times)
    uninstalling previous version of LR
    purging video cache
    changing source location
    changing destination and/or import type
    reinstalling LR5.3
    I have also noted that old videos already in the catalogue that played fine in LR4 won't play back in LR5.3.  They play fine in Quicktime.
    Has anyone else solved this problem?

    Hi InVisionMedia
    I found a Simular Poste regarding this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5397854
    So going over it might enlighting you on the issue. Also i would suggest to start with the Basic Troubleshoot for Playback issues on Lightroom: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4.html
    If you have Lightroom 4 still installed, Also make sure that you can still use the footage in the original L4 catalog.
    See if the files still work fine in the "old" version.
    Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue.

  • Help! Troubles with updating Lightroom 3.2 to 3.6 in order to import RAW files.

    I am trying to import RAW files into Lightroom 3 from my Nikon D7000.  I read that I need to update my Lightroom, so I downloaded the 3.6 version.  I restarted my computer and reopened Lightroom and it is still showing the 3.2 version.  How do I get Lightroom to update after the new version has been downloaded?  Once this problem is fixed, then will I be able to import my .NEF files from my camera into Lightroom?

    After downloading you have to install it. Did you?
    Cheers.

  • New to Lightroom, problem importing raw CR2 files.

    I am new to Lightroom and am having trouble importing my CR2 raw photo files. In the "import" section I select my SD card that contains the raw image files. All .jpeg files on the card show up as thumbnails but the CR2 files show "preview not available for this file." I select one of the CR2 thumbnails anyway, select a destination folder on my external hard drive and click "import." A window pops up that says, "this file is not recognized by the raw support format in Lightroom." I'm using Lightroom 4.4 and am working with a Windows Vista operating system (on an old, junky laptop). My camera is a Canon 70D and am shooting in RAW+JPEG. I also downloaded the Adobe .DNG converter 6.3 to try to convert the files before importing them into Lightroom and it is also not recognizing and importing my CR2 files. Not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions?

    I would recommend downloading DNG Converter 8.2 which is compatible with Vista.
    The latest version 8.6 requires W7 or W8
    Use this download link:
