Not wrong?
Let us have a look at the error message:
"The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."

    Why won't Lightroom 4.4 recognize my Nikon D600 when attempting to use Tethered Capture?  However, Lightroom recognizes the camera otherwize.

    I just checked the list of cameras supported for tethered shooting, and the D7000 is on the list of supported cameras. So perhaps it's time for you to double check your camera settings to make sure it is set up for tethered shooting.

  • Why CS6 cann't open Nikon D800E NEF raw file?

    Why CS6 cann't open Nikon D800E NEF raw file?

    The Nikon D800 was supported from ACR version 6.7 / 7.1. But CS6 shipped with 7.0, so if you've never updated ACR (or reinstalled from disc), they won't open.
    Other than that - have you used an older version of Nikon Transfer or View NX? These will corrupt the NEF header so that ACR can't read them.
    There's a fix here: http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html

  • Why won't Lightroom (current version) import NEF files?

    I have Lightroom v. 5 current, and it fails to recognize and import .NEF files. I use a Nikon D800, and can't directly import the RAW files into Lightroom. It doesn't make sense to me that this fails to work since most instructions seem to assume it does. Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious, but I don't know what.
    Appreciate any help!

    You have most likely used an obsolete version of a Nikon Transfer or Nikon ViewNX to work with your NEF files.  Nikon says these old versions change something in the metadata of newer Nikon files that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe products.
    Either update your Nikon products to versions that are as new as your D800 camera, or quit using Nikon products to transfer and view your images.
    To uncorrupt images that you’ve already transferred or viewed, a utility from this website will correct the problem:

  • Why Won't Lightroom 3.6 Import Camera raw files from T5i

    I have Lightroom 3.6 all updated. I can't Import any raw files from my T5i
    I have also tried using Adobe DNG but it will not read the files either.
    Any Help would be Awesome

    You need LR 4.4 or DNGC 7.4 or newer for the T5i:

  • Why won't iPhoto '11 display CR2 tags for Canon 7D raw files

    iPhoto '11 won't display CR2 tags for the raw files from my Canon 7D. I didn't have any problem with my Rebel ST or any previous version of iPhoto.
    Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Allan

    What a pity you didn't make the clear in your initial post. Would have saved us both some time.
    It might also help to clarify some terminology. What you are calling the "image file number" is the Title of the photo. When you haven't added a tite, iPhoto uses the filename.
    You can easily sort Raws from jpegs as Raws are automatically tagged with a keyword on import. So a quick smart album will tell them apart.
    As to why it hasn't been fixed, you will have to ask Apple that question, no one here knows and Apple aren't here.

  • Lightroom 4.4 will not import NEF RAW files from Nikon D610

    I shoot a Nikon D800 and have never had any issues importing my NEF RAW files into Lightroom. I borrowed a friend's Nikon D610 and shot a bunch of NEF RAW files. I downloaded them to my computer the same way I always do. For some reason, Lightroom will not import them. The error message is: "The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (455)"
    My Lightroom 4.4 is current and up-to-date.
    Bottom line: I have a bunch of RAW photo files I can't import into Lightroom for editing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    >Just curious -- is there some difference between the NEF files created on my Nikon D800 (which are easily imported into Lightroom) and the NEF files created on the Nikon D610 (which are not easily imported into Lightroom)
    Lightroom 5 supports the D610. There is a big difference between nef from the D610 and older cameras. They were shot with a camera that Adobe hadn't profiled yet when LR 4.4 was out. Otherwise, if you hack the nef files to read that they were shot on a D600, LR 4.4 will read them, but I would caution against doing that as the sensor is slightly different on the D610 than on the D600, resulting in differences in color rendering. Simplest is as dj says to convert the nets to dng (which embeds the newer profiles in the file) or to upgrade to LR 5.

  • Why cant I import my Nikon D800E NEF files - just started recently - "unable to copy a file"

    Why cant I import my Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.3 - just started recently -I have been doing the same thing for months and never had a problem. "unable to copy a file to location"

    Thanks, but no I do have plenty of space. What I just did was to move the NEF files off of my card and into the location I wanted them. I then just did an import move to the same location. This is just all very odd because it always had worked fine in the past. I do appreciate you trying to help.

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

    Thank you for your response. I fixed the problem by simply importing the

  • Elements 10 won't open a nef(raw) file?

    I downloaded photoshop elements 10.Uptated it.It still won't open a nef(raw) file.It just said it is the wrong type of file?What do I have to download to open and edit this type of file?

    You will need to wait for the next camera raw update. You have two alternatives:
    (1) Use Nikon software to convert. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • How to import Nikon Nef (raw Files) ?

    Hello
    I'm having problems importing Nikon Nef Raw files, PSE9 is displaying the message The file is damaged or file format
    cannot be included. Any suggestions please.

    You are going to need Adobe Camera Raw 6.3, but the only version that has been released is the Version 6.3 Release Candidate, which I don't think can be installed with PSE. You will have to wait until the final version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 is released.
    The only workaround is to use the Version 6.3RC DNG Converter to convert your RAW files to DNG files, which can then be accessed by PSE.

  • Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
    Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
    If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
    What is your screen resolution?
