Light's out mode: hit the L key to cycle through them.
There is a preference for importing raw and JPEG as two separate files:
If set, both will be imported into Lightroom. If not, both will be copied/moved to your destination folder, but only the raw file will be accessible from within LR.

  • Lightroom mysteriously deleted files after trying to convert RAW to DNG

    Running Lightroom 1.3 on the MacPro 10.4.8
    Strange thing happened. I had a catlogue of 11,824 photos yesterday.
    The catalog was a mix of RAW and dngs and I wanted to convert the remaining RAWs to DNGS.
    All photos were in place, no ? marks before I used "Convert photo to DNG" command. In the Convert photo to DNG I had the boxes for Only Convert RAW files, and Delete originals after successful conversion CHECKED.
    I realize I may have been asking way too much for the computer to do, and wasn't surprised when nothing happened for about 5 minutes. Finally I got the message that it couldn't convert because the original file could not be found.
    After that 2,268 files were missing. And as the day goes on today, and use the program that number is increasing, even when not asking to convert.
    I don't think it's a hardware issue. Ran disk utility and all checks out with that. And the deleted files are on 2 different drives.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    First step I'd check and find the actual images, make note of their file paths. I'd be surprised if any file was truly missing; just that LR has lost the path for whatever reason.
    Second, I'd do the conversion on a much smaller scale- in my case, my workflow is such that I choose to convert to DNG when most or all of my work on a folder is done. So I do it pretty much by folder, which generally don't exceed a few hundred images.

  • Converting RAW fies to DNG in Lightroom 2.0

    Windows XP SP3, Nvidia graphics, AMD processor
    When converting RAW (Nikon) files to DNG in LR2, the process never completes. In LR 1.4 converting one file takes 3 to 4 minutes. I Have let the conversion process run 3 to four hours in LR2 and it does not complete.

  • Trying to export RAW originals from Aperature 3 to LightRoom 4: I choose File Export Originals. I think then Pictures LR. But then I can't find files in LR library.Files seem stuck in Pictures as NEF

    Trying to export RAW originals from Aperature 3 to LightRoom 4: I choose File>Export>Originals. Then Pictures>LR. But then I can't find files in LR library.Files seem stuck in Pictures as NEF and or DNG files. I know Im stuck on something dumb but I am stuck. Help?

    You now need to import those files into Lightroom.
    BTW, Lightroom uses a "referenced" system so your images will always be in the folders you download/copy them to. Lightroom is a database first and foremost, albeit with non-destructive editing capabilities (effectively Adobe Camera Raw).

  • Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

    Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

    I'm sure there will be support for the camera eventually. But Adobe never announces that information in advance. It's possible that it could be added to the 8.7 final release and to the next update of Lightroom. But that depends on the timeline and if the engineers were able to get the camera in time to create profiles. You'll just have to wait and see.

  • Trying to import RAW files but receiving "some import operation were not performed" error message.

    Trying to import RAW files (from Canon 5D Mark III) but I'm receiving the following error message "some import operations were not performed". I am trying to copy to my Seagate backup drive, however the only destination it will let me copy to is my Lexar flash drive (where I don't want to store them!).  I've checked all the file permissions--everything says "read and write". Not sure where to start   I recently switched to an iMac where the problems started (never any issues importing into Lightroom on my PC--just slowness). Please help! 

    NIKON D3300
    The Nikon D3300 Raw format is not yet supported in Lightroom 5 (currently 5.3).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Raw file formats are proprietary to each camera manufacturer and specific to each camera model. Adobe's Camera Raw engine (used by both Adobe Camera Raw - as a plugin to Photoshop - and Lightroom) must be constantly updated with every new camera make and model which arrives on the market in order to read and edit Raw files from that camera.
    Adobe has added support for the D3300 to Camera Raw 8.4 which is about to be released. It is a Release Candidate (RC status) at the moment. So D3300 Raw support will probably be added to the next soon-to-be-released Lightroom update (5.4).
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4-cc/?tabID=details#tabTop
    In the meantime, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-4.html
    Using the DNG converter, you can then convert the D3300 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in Lightroom 5.3.
    Once Lightroom 5.4 is released (assuming it also has D3300 support) the DNG conversion will no longer be required.

  • I am having problems converting raw files to jpeg for printing. I am using 90 quality, 300 resolutiong, srgb, no sharpening and no resizing.  when u print to meijer the pic are a little grainy.  can soneone pkease helo me understand what settings to use?

    When I take my cd to meijer to print the pic are a little grainy.  Not as crisp as they look on the computer. When I convert raw to jpeg I am using 90 quality 300 resolution, no resizing no sharpening, srgb. Can someone please help me understand what setting to use for printing. I want to be able to out my pic ok on a cd and take them to get prints.

    I am new to this so I am not sure what the file size is since I'm not resizing it.
    The question asked about exported image size (height and width) in pixels, not file size. Your operating system can tell you, or if you import the exported image into Lightroom, then Lightroom can tell you in the Metadata Panel, set the dropdown to EXIF.
    I am printing a 5x7. I know I have tried to print with long edge set at 1024 and set to 300 ppi and had the same result with the grainy ness.
    If the exported file has a long edge of 1024, then you did resize the image, there no other way to turn a RAW in to a JPG with long edge 1024. In any event, 1024 pixels is probably not large enough to fill 7 inches, that's really 1024/7=146 pixels per inch (rounded-off), and could be the cause of the "graininess" that you see, although I would use the word "pixelization" to describe what you see. So I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, but let's go with it for now.
    The solution depends on your answer to the original question, and probably depends on a clarification of how you got the image to 1024 on the long edge even though you claim you didn't resize it.

  • New mac pro slow converting raw files any help?

    hallo everybody,
    can someone help?
    my new mac pro 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 is converting raw files in camera raw really too slowly, about twice the time took with an iMac 2,7 GHz.
    I tryed all graphic processor options on PS preferences.
    I also ran mac check up utility and hardware seems ok.

    The normal suspect would be that you haven't rendered out the previews, but the low cpu value would indicate that the problem actually lies elsewhere. Even so, it would do no harm to run the Render Standard-sized preview command (Library module View menu)
    Next thought is the operating mode. Lightroom 2.x can run as either a 32-bit or 64-bit application. With the amount of ram you have installed (very low for a box with this sort of power) you might find 32-bit is the best choice. You can change the mode by clicking on the Lightroom application icon then use the Get Info command (Cmd+I) to open the info panel
    Tip: you would be well advised to increase your installed ram. Lr likes plenty of ram, especially in 64-bit mode. A good starting point would be 6GB or even 8GB

    The DNG Converter is a standalone program that converts an entire folder at a time.  It is independent of Lightroom.  The camera you mention was first supported by LR 4.2 and DNGC 7.2.   What version of LR are you using that you need the DNGC for?

  • How do you convert Raw files into jpeg.

      I have never shot in Raw before and I have a huge project due tomorrow. I need help Asap. What is the easiest way to convert Raw files into jpeg, can Light Room convert the files. I have tried so many different ways and nothing seems to work.

    It depends on the sofware you have.  ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) hosted by Bridge or by Photoshop can convert ("open") raw files, as can Lightroom.
    However, not all camera models are supported by all versions of the software.  We need to know the make and exact model of the camera that generated the raw files to advice you further.
    We can also assist you with the conversion through ACR hosted by Photoshop.
    Olease note that there are dedicated forums for Lightroom, for Adobe Camera Raw and for Bridge.
    Here's the list of which cameras are supported by each version of ACR.  Note that later versions supporte all camera models supported in previous versions of ACR.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    Note that the latest version of ACR to run in CS4 is ACR 5.3;
    CS3 runs ACR 4.6;
    CS2 runs ACR 3.7;
    CS runs 2.4.

  • Need a plugin to convert Raw files with CS 6 standalone version. 8.7.1 version of ACR is not compatible with CS 6 in non-cloud form.

    We have a site license for CS6 for our company and for the past year have not been able to convert RAW files from our newer cameras using Adobe Camera Raw. We do not want to use the Cloud version as we work off laptops in the field and overseas and even our offices have only dial-up for internet access where we are located in Monterey.
    Can anyone recommend a plugin raw converter so we can continue to batch process our files with CS 6?

    The camera raw 8.7.1 plugin should work fine in the photoshop cs6 non cloud license version.
    The only exceptions being if you have mac os x 10.6.8 or windows xp/vista, then 8.3 is the newest camera raw plugin that works.
    Which operating system(s) do you have?
    Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get the 8.7.1 camera raw plugin.
    Here's an 8.7.1 camera raw plugin installer for photoshop cs6

  • Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    There will be no further camera support updates for Lightroom 4 beyond what is already listed in this table.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Only current versions of Lightroom (currently Lightroom 5.3) will have further camera support added.
    If you need to work with Raw files from new cameras you'll either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or join the Photoshop Photography Program (to get PC CC + LR5 + extras) or convert to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter.

  • Sony ILCA-77M2 camera`s raw in Lightroom

    Good day! When do you plan to include support of Sony ILCA-77M2 camera`s raw in Lightroom ? Photographers really need it as soon as possible because it`s very difficult for us to work with Sony`s standart raw converter and sometimes in difficult situation it`s fully unuseful .

    Eric Chan, an Adobe Raw engineer said, recently, that the A77M2 will be supported in the next “dot release” so a few more days or weeks, I’d expect.  The ACR 8.5 RC expires at the end of July so it should be before then, and Adobe has a major Cloud-related announcement on June 18th, so probably not before then.
