I use Lightroom for everything and love. It is fantastic with all my Canon cameras. However, I just bought the new Canon 7 d mark ii and Lightroom does not read the raw files. I don't see Adobe with updates to the new Raw file. I couldn't find the new camera on Canon website to save it for their defence. All solutions.
For now, I use the tracking solution:
Import RAW in Canon Digital Photo Professional, export in batch and convert your RAW to TIFF. Open Lightroom and import the TIFF as "Apply" (not convert to DNG). You can edit your photos in Lightroom!
At home, I have a desktop PC with all my files from lr stored on drive NAS I want to be able to access and modify the macbook when away from home.
1 is it possible or I need a Mac computer or replace cell phone based on windows?
2 I use remote access to NAS or use previews and catalog sync?
3 lr can exist with two file formats at the same time?
I use a similar setup, with a Windows desktop and a MacBook Pro. My photos are on an external drive connected to the Windows computer, and synchronize the catalog and intelligent previews using Dropbox.
I learned recently from LightRoom 5 and quite comfortable with it. I'm now working on the film editing, starting with Prime Minister 11 elements. I'm just starting to go through it and I see that it fits in an organizer that looks German to the Group of items. Problem is that I am already using LR for the organization. Am a little confused.
Can anyone suggest how to collaborate with LR and elements of Prime Minister?
A secondary issue has to do with the management of audio files. I see that the elements Organizer includes also audio files. But LR does not work. So far I've managed audio with Windows Media Player. Can anyone offer suggestions for moving forward with audio management?
I use Lightroom 5.2 and Prime Minister 11 elements on a laptop to the PC i7 optimized video fast with a lot of memory. There's even a Blu - Ray burner!
My files photo and video are first copied and stored by the camera and the date. Then, I use LR to organize and preview, review and select photos and clips. IMO, the ability of a snippet clip of LR is very good. LR will allow you to make a few simple changes to clips but I use for video, only of the photos. My photos will be a mixture of JPG and RAW and I will tune them with LR. Some of the pictures can get some additional masking or HDR work elsewhere and then brought back in LR.
As I saw the clips as well as photos, I want to use I put them in a collection of LR. Then I prepare a specific folder of the project on my SSD named something like "holiday". If it's a big project, I'll do a few subfolders such as city names.
The big step is to 'Export' of copies of all of the goods that I have chosen for the collection. I open the collection and select everything in it. Right-click, choose Export, set the destination, rename them if you want, select "include the video", select "Original" video format, select PSD for images and press the export button.
The reason for the 'Original' video is because I don't want any additional compression or conversion of video clips. I want elements of Prime Minister to do so. The reason for "PSD", is I want my photos always LR settings appear before putting them in the project.
Then I opened a new project of pre. Before adding any of the assets, make sure that the "scratch disks" is assigned to the project folder.
With the game of "scratch disks", I then load assets. One of the primary video clips making sure is the first to be placed on the timeline, as that adjusts the "project settings" if necessary. Then I begin to build the video with the security of knowing that I work only on a set of copies of image and clip.
My audio file management is made entirely in the way old-fashioned in Windows Explorer. I have a folder of audio and a system of folders and descriptive file names. I can preview them in Windows Explorer before you import a copy into a project folder. Clip length and volume settings are made to copy it in pre. I often buy an audio clip of $2 Vimeo specific for the project because I like having a license to use the music!
When I finished, I move the folder of the project somewhere for long term storage.
Hope some of this works for you. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear.
I just purchased Lightroom CC and I can't find my photos I use Apple Photos app to store them all. I have a mixture of photos from the iPhone as well as high quality JPEG files and my Nikon RAW files. I use pictures to import what I use and pay for icloud, so I can access all my photos on my iPhone and iPad and my MacBook. I also save them automatically to Dropbox.
I've got about 2200 photos to about 28 GB. Do I need to transfer all out of Photos Apple? I am very confused on how to proceed.

First of all, you don't want to use BOTH at the same time, it is because the programs don't speak to another, and so whatever you do in one program is unknown to the other program. Basically, it would be twice as much work, but not twice the advantage and also opens the possibility of creating confusion.
You want to choose a program and use it as your software "organize" and also as your software to 'change '. Which one you choose is up to you.
To transfer photos to Photos in Lightroom, you need to export your images of Photos to a location on the hard drive and then then import them into Lightoom.
I bought a Canon 430EX 11 Flash to go with my Canon EOS camera D 70 with a 18-135mm lens. Flash displays the icon confirming the auto zoom only intermittent and when it isn't, twist the zoom of the camera does not appear on the screen of the flash. The batteries are charged and the flash is locked on the camera.
I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. The 430EX II has can be put in a mode where it automatically follows the camera zoom (within the limits... 24 mm to 105 mm), but you can ALSO put it in a mode where you manually control the zoom flash. If it's in the manual control mode, so it won't automatically zoom.
It is important that the 'broad' Panel not in use (if you go out and go back to the bottom of the Panel then flash will go to wide angle and zoom not EVEN if it was in auto mode.)
Press the Zoom button, then use the - / + keys to change the zoom.
When under manual control, there is a black "M" icon that appears the word "Zoom". If the "M" is not present then it is auto zoom mode.
Finally... When you change the zoom on the camera lens, generally nothing will happen on the flash UNTIL you wake up the system by doing a half - press the shutter button. When the camera wakes up to the meter and focus... it is when she allows to set the zoom on the flash head.
I have a Canon EOS 7 d Mark II. I would like to shoot RAW files. Is there a version of PS that I can use to adjust the CR2 files without having to adapt to DNG files, first?
Hi Nesta,
This camera requires Camera raw 8.7, versions of Photoshop CS top ^ (latest) should be able to process raw images from this camera.
Downloaded Lightroom trial period has expired. Now I've subscribed to creative cloud, can I use lightroom with creative cloud, without having to buy it?
Hello I have a laptop Toshiba Equium A200. After restarting itself a number of times where he died and is now on autoloop on-screen system recovery, that does not work. I tried to use the product recovery disc, but I keep getting "media test failure.
I need xp wireless drivers for my Pavilion s3020n, there seems to be a chip RTL8211CL. But anyway if you can direct me to the site where I can download my drivers I really appreciate it. Thank you
