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.

  • Some export operations were not performed

    I have Lightroom 5. I've used it without any problems until now. When trying to export my images I get this message:
    Some export operations were not performed
    I don't know why this is happening. Searching on the internet didn't help me either, so please, can you help me?
    Best wishes

    Hi,
    Did you ever manage to solve this? I get the same message, along with this "Could not create a jpeg that met your size limit of 700K" or something to that extent. My raw files are large, but I am fairly confident some files of similar size get exported while others don't. Why? And what can one do about it to predict what size limit will be problematic?
    Best,

  • Lightroom 4: Some export operations were not performed.

    The above started happening a few days ago and I can't export from any directory. Is there I switch I inadvertantly set? Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you checked <Include Video Files> in the Export Dialog?

  • Lightroom 5.7 - Flickr plugin fails to upload some photos,"Some export operations were not performed."

    There are 5 specific images which the plugin refuses to upload. Rebooting, restarting, nothing helps.
    Is there a solution or work-around?

    Sporadic uploading problems have long been reported with the built-in Flickr plugin.  You might try this third-party Flickr plugin.  The author has an excellent reputation and actively maintains his plugins (in contrast to Adobe); in fact, the author designed the plugin publishing architecture for Adobe.

  • LR 5 "Some import operations were not performed." Following files not updated because could not be read

    Having difficulty with LR5, can view photos on card while trying to import but receive following message "Some import operations were not performed."  "The following files were not updated because they could not be read."

    Check your destination folder in LR at the top right of the Import panel.  LR cannot copy the photos there and so when it tries to import them they aren’t there and cannot be read. 
    In other words the “cannot be read” message indicates that photos cannot be written to the destination.

    You are getting the 3194 error because you cannot update to 6.1.2, since it is no longer current.
    The fact that you downloaded the 6.1.2 file does not matter.  If you upgrade, you must upgrade to the latest version.
    I cannot imagine why you would not want to update to the current 6.1.3 version instead of 6.1.2.

  • "Some Export Functions Were Not Performed"

    I am running Lightroom 4.2 on Windows 8 and routinely receive the message "Some Export Functions Were Not Performed" / "File Cannot Be Written" when trying to export. I have 128GB of space available on the drive I am writing to, do not use a "Second Copy", and have full administrative rights to the drive. There were a couple times when I was able to export an image but when trying to repeat the same process they too now fail.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    More detail...
    I eliminated GoodSync, Windows 8 Photo app, and Adobe PhotoShop Elements Organizer as the root of the problems as I was still experiencing the inability to export with these services totally disabled.
    I still do not know the cause of the problem but when LR4 exports a file that it said it couldn't do successfully it creates an illegitimate JPG file in the destination folder and I am unable to delete the bad JPG file because LIGHTROOM has a lock on it.
    I'm wondering if it is a Windows 8 issue.
    Anyone else?

  • I cannot open raw file shot with canon 20d. I get an error message.

    I recently used a 50d camera and shot in raw +jpeg. Downloaded into computer. Was able to view jpeg but was unable to view raw version.At first I attributed this to needing software update for 50d. I brought up a raw file taken with a 20d and the same error message appeared. I could open a 20d file before. This morning I tried again.I did open a 20d file.I tried a 50d file and the error message appeared. Went back to 20d file and the error message appeared saying it cannot open file.I am less than a novice. I purchased elements 6 a year ago and am just starting to try to use it. Are there updates that I need to do .

    Further to my above reply, I have just discovered this on the web:
    Why Adobe doesn't touch proprietary raw files
    Touching the bits of raw image formats that aren't publicly documented well (or at all) seems like a bad idea, bound to end in tears. Microsoft is advising customers not to edit metadata using Vista, saying,
    Microsoft has received reports of compatibility issues with Nikon NEF files after installing version 1.0 of Nikon's raw codec posted in January. Tagging the raw files through Windows Vista or the Microsoft Photo Info tool after the codec is installed appears to cause these files to become unreadable in other applications, such as Adobe Photoshop. [Via]
    I'm sure the problem will get sorted out soon enough, but it does illustrate why Camera Raw and Lightroom insist on using sidecar data files for raw formats other than DNG. It's less convenient, but we've seen far too many conflicts arise from touching metadata in these other formats. DNG was designed with flexible internal storage of metadata in mind, and now Lightroom and Bridge offer conversion to DNG as part of their photo-import processes. (For what it's worth, on my MacBook Pro, converting an 8MP CR2 file to DNG takes roughly 1-1.5 seconds--not a bad price for portability & reduced file size.)

    You will note this this was posed on Feb 12th 2007 and that it appears to still be an issue. Oh dear.
    Sure would be nice to see the link to where you got this.
    This refers to problems using Microsoft software and Vista, not Adobe software and Vista. I believe it is saying that Adobe properly handles both .nef and .dng files. I have no idea how this quote relates to this thread at all.

    Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.
