Why aren't my images importing in Lightroom 5.4?

I have an sd card with image files and two small videos that I am trying to import into Lightroom 5.4. The dialog indicates it is importing but the status never changes and nothing gets imported. I have no problem copying to my computer in Windows Explorer. I imported ok in the past when there were no videos on the card. What is the problem???

Is there an error message?
If not, you might want to try Lightroom 5.3 instead, that version doesn't seem to have importing problems.

  • Why are my RAW images imported in to Lightroom 5 being de-saturated?

    Lately, in LR 5.3 and 5.5, every time I import RAW images they show up de-saturated.  In the thumbnail they look right, but in both the library and develop mode main screens they show up very flat and de-saturated.
    This is the first time I have had this problem.....never had it in V2-4.
    I am shooting with a Canon 5D MIII.
    I thought that there may be a preset during import that is doing this, but I do not think that is the case. 
    I need some help, any ideas what is causing this?  I cant process all my weddings with this issue.....it would take forever to fix.
    JP

    Images can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area.  Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
    Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram?

  • Why are my NEF's imported to Lightroom 3 a smaller size?

    Why is it that when I import NEF's to Lightroom 3 and then open them in Photoshop CS4 the the image size is 7.954 x 5.28"?  But if I just drag my NEF's to a folder on the computer and open in Photoshop they are 17.067" x 11.33".  I really want to edit in Lightroom but I need the largest size possible for finished photos.   I have no presets selected during import.   Is it possible that the size of NEF's is irrelevant to the finished Jpeg size?  Thanks for your help!

    A digital image (image file) does not have a size in inches (or centimeters). The displays you are seeing are misleading.
    The only dimension of a digital image is its pixel dimension: so many pixels horizontal, so many vertical.
    For instance: an image comes out of the camera with a pixel dimension of 3000 x 2000 pixels. That is its only dimension.
    For printing an image we want a size in inches (or centimeters) which is dependant of the resolution we choose for the print.
    In the above example if we choose a resolution of 300 dpi we get a print size of 10" x 6.66". But if we choose a resolution of 200 dpi we get a print size of 15" x 10".
    If we would want the image to print with a resolution of 300 dpi in a print size of 24" x  16" we realize that we don't have enough pixels for that in the original image. Thus for a print size of 24" x 16" at 300 dpi we have to upsample the image to 7200 x 4800 pixels, i.e. Photoshop or Lr has to "invent" new pixel to fill in the missing ones.
    But as long as your image is on the computer (or on the web) there is only the pixel dimension; a size in inches or centimeters is non-existent.
    What Photoshop tells you in the image size box is the following: For the given image file and the selected resolution we would arrive at a certain print size.
    Please note that Photoshop indicates the selected resolution at the bottom of the image size box. Change the resolution and uncheck <Resample image> and see how the size in inches changes.

  • Photoshop is changing the name of images imported from Lightroom.

    Today I sent a batch of photos to Photoshop from Lightroom (via the Edit In menu selection). When I completed the work in Photoshop I selected SAVE, as I always do, only the photos are returning to Lightroom with a new file name instead of the same name (as always in the past) with a .psd suffix. Has there been a change to Photoshop CC I am not aware of. Both programs are up-to-date.

    Thanks for looking at my problem. When I looked carefully at the new name (thanks dj for telling me to do that) I realized that the name had parts of what I had added as a preset and applied in External Editing. What appears to have happened is that my original preset was corrupted and dropped out the part that told it to use the original file name. I have repaired it and now all is well. Thanks for the responses and the help! Much appreciated.

  • Why aren't the images in NOTES syncing to iPhone and iPad?

    In Mountain Lion we can now include images and such in our notes. Should they sync to our devices as well???

    I'm only seeing a paperclip icon on iPhone and iPad.  Also there seems to be no way of viewing the image indicated by the paperclip.  There is also no way I can find to insert an image into a note on the iPhone or iPad so this lauded feature seems a bit redundant.

  • Why aren't my images sent from my contacts appearing in iChat/Messages in the new Maverick?

    I updated to the new OS (Yosemite 10.10.2) and my Messages app is no longer showing the images in the feed that are being sent to me from my contacts. Here's an example:
    In the examples above, I've tried clicking on the images (or grey dots that symbolize PNG files) and I am unable to view them unless i look on my iphone. I've searched through all of the preferences and can't find a way to view the images on my computer. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thank you!

  • Importer dans Lightroom 4.4 des images Raw CR2 du Canon EOS 70D?

    Bonjour, comment puis je importer dans Lightroom 4.4 des images Raw CR2 prises avec mon Canon EOS 70D?
    Actuellement je n'obtiens qu'un message qui me dit "Aperçu non disponible pour ce fichier. Je croyais qu'Adobe avait mis à jour Lightroom depuis aout 2013.
    Dois je systématiquement convertir le format en DNG ou JPG ou bien dois je acheter Lightroom 5 ?
    Merci par avance.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

  • Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?

    Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
    Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

    I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

  • Is there a way to view image metadata in Lightroom before importing?

    Lightroom 4.3
    Win7-64
    Canon 6D raw files
    It would be helpful to be able to examine camera data while choosing which images to import.

    Maybe "import-them-all-and-sort-them-out-later" will be what I have to do, but my current workflow is to pre-cull using Bridge. I only import into Lightroom periodically, like when I sit down for some editing or have the time to fit the images into my folder structure, naming conventions, and to add some keywords. I cull at least 80%. Plus Lightroom import is slow--I use standard previews.
    The problem with Bridge is that the 6D is new and needs ACR 7.3 to read the raw files. I have Photoshop CS5, which is incompatible with ACR 7.3, and I'm disinclined to buy CS6 just for this piddly little problem.
    I tried Canon's image viewers, and they are too awkward to be useable. I also tried Windows Live Photo Gallery, but even with the latest updates it won't open my raw files.
    Thanks for any suggestions...

  • Images imported from Aperture showing up 'washed out' in Lightroom.

    I am aware that Lightroom uses ProPhoto RBG. When i export images from Aperture to a folder then import into Lightroom the images appear very different. Is there a setting i am missing as the images seem 'washed' out in Lightroom. When i export to the desktop and open in Photoshop they look the same as in Aperture. After i import to Lightroom and open in Photoshop they still look washed out.
    New to Lightroom and trying to find the right alternative to Aperture.
    Many Thanks in advance.

    You are probably right, it is an issue with color profiles and gamut.  Aperture does use a different raw converter, which will create some variance.  In fact, many like the look of straight Aperture raw conversions over straight ACR conversions.  But if the washed out look is dramatic, and Photoshop opens your raw files okay, then it must be a profile issue.
    It may help to explain how you are exporting from Aperture.  Are your source files raw files, PSDs, TIFFs, or JPEGs?   Are you exporting masters, or are you exporting versions?  If you're exporting versions, take a look at your "source preset" when exporting.  What color profile are you embedding?
    Although if you are embedding any color profile, Photoshop and Lightroom should pick it up.
    All I've read is that Lightroom manages profiles more transparently than Photoshop, but perhaps someone could jump in here and say how it is managed.
    Finally, what purpose are you exporting and importing into Lightroom?  If you're migrating your library to a Lightroom catalog, you may be best served by using the Aperture migration plug-in.
    Aperture import plugin now available
    The plug-in still has issues with foreign characters, importing all previews, and face keywording and keywording previews.  You'll be better off waiting until these issues are fixed.  Even if you can't, the plug-in would still be a better option than a manual attempt, unless you're doing something other than migrating your Aperture library.

  • Images won't import from Lightroom. (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6)

    Images won't import from Lightroom to be edited. There were no problems until I upgraded to Photoshop (2014). LR & Photoshop work well independently (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6). All are up-to-date.

    I had the same problem.  It seems the scripts that control the transfer of images from LR to Photoshop got deleted or messed up.  The fix I found on the LR forum was as follows:
    This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
    On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
    Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
    Click Yes, install this version.
    Once I did this, the interaction between LR and PS CC 2014 started working again.  I did notice that Photoshop showed up as needing to be updated in the Adobe CC application so I just clicked on the update button and after a few minutes photoshop had been updated.  The importing function still works so I think everything is OK.
    Not sure if this was part of the problem, but after updating the PS CC 2014 application  the first time, I uninstalled the original PS CC application as I didn't need it anymore.  I'm thinking that may have caused the scripts to be uninstalled along with the PS CC application.  Rerunning the installation put things back to normal.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a Nikon 300S. It is set to NEF(RAW) + JPEG fine. When I import to Lightroom I get message "There was an error working with the photo? Does anyone know why or how to correct?

    I don't know the answer, personally, because I don't use Lightroom. This is the Camera Raw forum.

  • Sony RX100 Mk3 - Image corruption on RAW import to Lightroom

    I'm using Abobe CC - newest versions
    I just got back from Europe with about 4,000 photos. I noticed a problem when I imported from my new RX100 mk3. It's the first time I've used the camera, which I'm pleased to report creates excellent images for its size.
    After importing this massive number of photos, I find:
    Jpegs are fine.
    RAW is fine generally speaking.
    However, when the sony was specifically in continuous bracket mode and shooting RAW (auto-shooting a bracketed set of 3 or 5 photos with one button press), I occasionally got some really crazy artifacts.
    Basically thin stripes across the photos where the stripes are misaligned with the rest of the photo.
    These artifacts do not appear on the camera LCD screen, and they were not created when the raw images were imported into either iPhoto or Sony PlayMemories software--even when subsequently moved into Lightroom.
    The artifacts only occurred when importing the raw images directly into Lightroom from the RX1000 iii (i.e. from the SD card).
    Just reporting it. My workaround is to replace the bad ones with imports from other software. But I probably won't be using Lightroom for importing until this is fixed.

    Hrm.  That does seem to be the issue as I experienced the same situation as described, with seeing the preview for a few seconds and then it goes crazy.  Just never seen it change so drastically before, and couldn't figure out how to get Lightroom to show it anywhere close to what the preview was.
