Why can't I import raw files?

Lightroom will not import raw files.

What operating system?
What camera are you using?
What version of Lightroom?
It all matters, and it's all necessary information if you really want some help.

  • I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

    I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

    Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
    If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
    But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

  • Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Because your camera is newer than your software.
    You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2.  Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
    You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
    The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

  • Why can I not import aif files to garage band?

    Once I have created an aiff file in iTunes, why can I not import those files into Garage Band?  I'd like to be able to edit some of those files.

    I go to garage band and click on create a new project, then browse through the finder and files I want to import are all grayed out -- aiff AND wav files.
    You first need to create a new project  - in the "new Project panel" select a template (Guitar, piano, ...), not "Open an existing file".
    When the project window opens, drag your aiff or wav file onto an empty space in the Timeline, or open the Media Browser from the footer bar in GarageBand and import an aiff song from your iTunes Library.

  • Why can't I import .mov files to Aperture 3.4.3?

    I have three movies (.mov files) transferred from an iPhone 4 (using Image Capture) to my Mac, where the movies play just fine. Aperture can't even see these files if I navigate to them using the normal Import function, and if I drag them from the Desktop into an album, the cursor shows the 'plus' sign indicating that a copy is to be made, but nothing happens except for an alert informing me that 0 files have been successfully imported. The Aperture manual says that it will import .mov files, so what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks Léonie, but my settings are exactly as per your screenshot, and I've tried all other options in the RAW+JPEG menu, without success.
    I'm sure the movies are not corrupted as they play in QuickTime Player and can be drag-imported to iPhoto with no problem at all. (They cannot, however, be dragged from iPhoto into Apeture, as still images can.)
    I have just tried importing a couple of different movies but the same problem occurs. It seems as though some component of Aperture is missing. Is that possible? Should I reinstall Aperture?
    Thanks, Steve.

  • Why can't I import video files from an external hard drive?

    I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 trying to import video files from a Lacie Rugged External Hard Drive using both firewire and usb, neither with any luck. The error message I receive is:
    "You're trying to import a file from a DVD or a Removable Media.  Please use Video Importer for importing Videos and Image Importer for importing images. "
    We can't import through the video importer either because the hard drive doesn't show up. We can, however, drag the videos to the desktop and do it that way but we'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
    Thanks
    By the way, the external hard drive is formatted FAT32 if that matters

    SG has already commented on this in his initial reply to you. I thought that the above might blend in to supplement what he has said.
    I will watch for further developments in your troubleshooting with SG.

  • Why can't I open raw files from 5diii into photoshop CS4?

    My second shooter has the 5Diii, and I am having trouble opening her raw files into my bridge and photoshop (CS4). I am using a 5Dii. The files are named differently and I can't preview any of her files in Bridge and Photoshop will not load them. ?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The 5D Mark III was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 (for CS5) and 7.1 (for CS6). ACR 6.7 is not compatible with CS4. CS4 is simply too old.
    The 5D Mark II has been supported since ACR 5.2 which is compatible with CS4.
    Your choices for the 5D Mark III:

    Join the Creative Cloud Photography Program (PS CC 2014 + LR)

  • Why can't I open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200 in Elements 10?

    Is there a fix in the works that will allow me to open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200?

    Actually the 7.1 camera raw update covers the D3200, but for whatever reason adobe has denied users of pse 10 that update.
    Maybe it will still be released, but to me something else seems to be up, because in the past the latest version of elements (at least on windows) was always updated
    to the latest version of camera raw at the same time photoshop was.
    In the meantime you could download the 7.1 DNG converter to convert your files to dng copies which will then open in pse 10.

    I know this stinks, but other than using the camera makers or aftermarket raw programs (lightroom), that's the best i can suggest for now.

  • Why can't I import ARW File to lightroom 4.4?

    I just bought a Sony Nex 5n and I was shooting in raw format.  I notice when i tried to import the file from the SD Card to Lightroom 4.4, it didn't reconized the files and it said it need an update.  I had updated my lightroom and downloaded raw drive from sony. Still nothing work.  I also try to convert the ARW to DNG file and still didn't work.  I don't know what to do. I am running Widows 7 Home Edition.

    The NEX 5N has been supported since LR 3.5, so it’s unclear what issue you’re having, unless your camera is really a 5T which wasn't supported until LR 5.2:

  • Why can't I view RAW files in CS3

    I have installed CS3 on a new MacBook Pro. I am unable to edit/view RAW files from my Nikon D5000 Digital SLR.
    Can you tell me what I am doing incorrectly.

    You'll need to update to CS4 to get the updated Camera RAW plugin, or use the free DNG converter to convert your NEF files to DNG before processing with CS3.

  • Why can't I import .AVI files?

    I got the new iMovie and am not sure I like it over the older version. For once, it won't let me import .avi files. What's up with this?

    For once, it won't let me import .avi files. What's up with this?
    An AVI file like any MOV file will not import to iMovie '08 unless both the audio and video compression formats are "edit" compatible with iMovie '08 and the container does not contain any "extraneous" tracks such as a "Tween" track. iMovie '08 does not automatically perform conversion of files at the finder level as they import, supposedly assuming that whatever compression format you import is the one in which you wish to edit your files.
    I got the new iMovie and am not sure I like it over the older version.
    Many people feel the same way. Most use both HD and '08 to optimize their work flow depending on the project requirements. I am mainly interested in changes between the two and how this may affect future applications but rarely do any real "creative" editing projects in either.
