Using Bridge to Import Images from Camera to Harddrive. Question inside...

I have Bridge automatically download images when my camera is connected.
I was wondering if it was possible to have Bridge ONLY download RAW (nef) and JPEG files. because i also shoot video with one of my cameras, but it downloads my AVI files as well.
thanks for your help

Don't know about AVI but if you select the advanced dialog in Photodownloader you can put checkmarks on the files you want to be downloaded or not. You can also set the option create subfolders to a set of names or dates.
Beside that, it is common knowledge that the use of a separate card reader for downloading images to the computer is preferred above the connection from camera to computer :-)

After import, image from camera replaced with old (and incorrect) image

i imported photos this morning. maybe 200. into Lightroom 5.6 (with
camera raw 8.6, running on macosx 10.9.5; see below for "system info"). the images came from my
Leica M Typ 240, and were in raw format. after importing the images, i
went through them in my first editing pass.
going through, image 1867 ("L1001867.DNG") in LR was *not* the same as
image 1867 on my camera, but was, rather, an image (no longer on the
card in my camera) from 8 months ago in China.
the image on the camera was from 07.10.2014 15:49.15 (following one
taken at 15:49:07, which *did* show up in LR). the *meta* data in LR
appears correct for the image from the camera (i.e, shows a date of
07.10.2014, has likely exposure information, etc.), but the image itself
is the wrong image.
the image in LR *may* have been one i deleted (in LR), though i don't
know that for sure. if i *did* delete it, i deleted it months ago.
the LR image was shot on 22.02.2014 at 02:51-02:52 (i typically don't
change the clock). while i don't know for sure the image number of the
image in LR, it *appears* to be image 1419.
obviously, this is fairly worrying (as i count of LR to keep my
inventory!). what can i do to help you troubleshoot this? what can you
tell me about what is happening?

it appears the actual image is probably in place, but the *preview* is incorrect. clicking on the image to zoom in causes (the normal) "Loading...", followed by a zoomed in view of the *correct* image. zooming back out gives the normal view of the correct image. (*very* good to know!)

IPhoto won't import images from camera

When I connect my camera to my computer iPhoto recognizes the camera but says there are no items to import. The camera has about 40 photos in its memory. What gives. I have intel iMac OS X 10.4.6, iphoto 6.0.1 and a nikon coolpix 5200 (lists says its compatible) set to PTP. Why can't I import the images from the camera to my computer? please help

David:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you use Image Capture will it see the photos in the camera? It's located in your Applications folder. I'm guessing it will and that will give you a workaround until the iPhoto issue is resolved.
I see where you're still at 6.0.1. I'd update iPhoto to the latest version, 6.0.2, repair disk permission, and then see if iPhoto will see the files.

IPhoto 6 - importing images from camera

I'm trying to import photos from a Nikon D90, and iPhoto sees all 1139 images, but only imports 390. It says there's something wrong with the other photos. However, the Nikon D90 software (Nikon Transfer) can transfer all the photos. Is there some limit to the size of iPhoto (either amt that can be transferred each session, or total size of the library)? Do I need to update or rebuild the library?
Thanks,
Bonnie

What is the error?

No - the library can be 250,000 photos
Do I need to update or rebuild the library?
Possibly but you need to give more information on what is happening -
Can you import the photos once you have used the Nikon software to download them
Are there any large video's in the set you are trying to download?
have you tried Image capture?
have you used a USB card reader?
have you mounted the camera to the desktop and downloaded the photos and then imported them?

Adobe Elements 11 Organizer and Importing images from camera.

I changed Adobe Elements version (from 10 to 11) and Brand New all-in-one Dell XPS computer that comes with Windows 8 as OS (From XP SP3) ... Now my import in Adobe Organzer gets stuck. Adobe Elements sees the camera, and compares the files on my camera to the photos in Organizer and knows how may are duplicates. I then select all the photos it finds as Non-Duplicates and tell it what directory to import into and select (Finish/Import) and it just sits there. I can change anything on that screen for options, but it really is locked up. I have to use Task Manager to end the task so that I can get back into Adobe Organizer. Maybe there is some kind of incompatibility with Windows 8 I am not aware of?

As you said "I am using this method as a bandaid, but this method will constantly copy all files (including old photos still on card) to a new folder. This means that I have the same photo being copied from my cameras memory to multiple locations. Not the best method (lots of clutter). "
This is not so. Importing photos using Watched Folders doesn't copy your photos to any other location.
Please empty your card and add 1-2 images to it. Now launch Photodownloader.exe from the location : C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer
Post doing this, launch Organizer. Let's see if the import happens.
Thanks

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

How do I import images from a Canon scanner on Photo Elements 12 using a Mac

Hi
I have purchase a new Mac with the 10.9 version and I am using Photo Elements 12. I am trying to import images from my CanoScan 9000f scanner but I can't see the scanner in the Organizer, Files, Get Photos and Videos, there is no Scanner option. But I can use my scanner using the Canon Sofware for the scanner. Can you tell me what I have to do to be able to use my scanner directly on adobe Elements 12 ?
Simon

You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

Can I import images from DVD to my HDD through bridge (I have Win 7

Hi,
I'm using Win 7 (and also have Bridge on Mac OS X). I'd like to import images from DVD to my HDD through Adobe Bridge. But I can't find the option to import from DVD in Bridge (either in Win 7 or Mac). My DVD drive on my Win machine is external while I have the regular internal DVD drive on my Macbook Pro. I'm trying to import images from DVD to HDD through Bridge. Go through the first round of select/reject through Bridge and then take them to LR for further edits.
I currently copy them from DVD drive to a USB pen drive. And then using the Bridge import dialog (when I plug in the USB again) copy them to my HDD. I do this becuase I also need to batch rename my files, add metadata and keywords during import. The simple copy/move function won't allow these additions and so I have to resort to this workaround of DVD to USB to HDD (thru Bridge). If I can import directly from DVD through bridge, it'll save me quite some time.
Look forward to assistance pls.
Thx,
Chinmoy

I feel a bit silly now. For 2 days I struggled and then posted my Q.
After posting the Q, I figured it out in about 15 minutes.
Insert DVD.
Open Br
Navigate to DVD
Select all images
Right Click - Batch Rename
Choose Destination Path and New file name.
And go!
If you've had the same problem I did, hope this helps.

How do i delete images from camera after importing

how do i delete images from camera, ipad, iphone after importing the files into aperture3?

Image capture will allow you to delete from the device after import, but I believe it is by design that Aperture does not do this as it is recommended (in the case of a camera) to use a device's own delete function rather than a 3rd party like Aperture. This also allows time for a proper backup before everything is erased from the device?

I cannot import images from my camera directly into Elements Organizer

I am trying to import images into Elements Organizer from my Canon EOS 6D, but it doesn't work properly. I am expecting the images to appear in the Elements Organizer, but the images are only imported onto disk. At the moment I have to re-import images from the disk location as a second step. How can I perform this in one step, as I have seen this in the tutorials?
I am on a Mac using Yosemite using version 13 of Elements Organizer.

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

Error message when donloading images from camera....?!?!?

I have been trying to import images from my Canon Rebel digital camera and am having some issues. I was having trouble with iPhoto which is why I purchased this great program. At first, the images were downloading fast and furious with Aperture but now I am having some of the same issues that I was having with iPhoto. It is taking forever and a day to import my RAW images and now I am getting an error message with almost all of my photos. It stalls out on them (and the red light stops flashing on my camera as if they aren't communicating) and then I get the message that there was "a problem downloading that image" and this error code: (ICA download error -609).
This is extremely frustrating!! HELP!

You're loading straight off the camera?
Be sure the camera isn't shutting itself off in the middle of the transfer. It may auto-turn-off after a minute.
I'd really suggest you use a card reader. You can get a USB2 CF reader which will be 10x faster than direct camera download for like $20. I can't fathom why anyone would use direct-from-camera in lieu of a reader, unless they were doing tethered shooting.

Can't import photos from camera

I was downloading some photos from my Digital Rebel XSi with no problems. Then I switched cards and all of a sudden, it wouldn't load the photos. I could still view the photos on the camera, so they were definitely there. It was as if Aperture just didn't want to try to load anything. I opened up iPhoto and Image Capture and it was the same story, they just didn't load the photos. I restarted the computer and opened up Image Capture. This time there was at least a progress bar and a waiting for camera. It did load the photos this time, however I hit Download All, it went to the progress bar and thumbnail display as normal, but it zoomed through all the photos in seconds and didn't actually download anything. Luckily I had turned off "delete from camera after downloading" or I may have lost everything. I plugged the camera into my iBook G4 and downloaded the photos no problem with Image Capture. Both computers are running OS X 10.5.7 and Aperture, iPhoto and RAW compatibility are at their latest versions.

Try this workflow as described below in an earlier post of mine:
I feel pretty strongly that card-to-Aperture or camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
• Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a memory card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from memory card to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
• Eject memory card.
• Burn backup hard drive or DVD copies of the original images (optional strongly recommended recommended backup step).
• Eject backup hard drive(s) or DVDs.
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location." This is called "referenced images." During import is the best time to also add keywords, but that is another discussion.
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing in Aperture).
• Reformat memory card in camera, and archive originals off site on hard drives and/or on DVDs.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media/backups.
Also note with a Referenced-Masters Library that use of the "Vault" backup routine backs up the Library only, not the Masters. Masters should be separately backed up, IMO a good thing from a workflow and data security standpoint.
