Importing older RAW Camera Raw adjusted files with XMP sidecar

When I import CR2 (Canon RAW) files that have XMP files to their sides in my Lightroom 4 catalog, Lightroom reads correctly in XMP files image adjustment and guide them as parameters for development for the newly imported photos. That's how I expected to be. Lightroom assigns old version of process to these files, as it should.

A small question, I however: once I imported all these CR2 files in my collection, it is safe to delete all these sidecar XMP files immediately? I guess that Lightroom saves all development parameters in the file catalog at the time of importation, and that XMP sidecars are no longer needed. Is this correct? Or what I need to enter the mode to develop with each file first, before you delete the XMP in order to make the old settings to "stick"?

Andrey Tarasevich says:

How can I force Lightroom XMP files for images that were imported initially with sidecar XMP to forget?

Synchronize the folder (folder/ctrl-click right, then choose the folder to synchronize). Do not import anything or search metadata - none of this, just do a 'ineffective' 'synchronize' and he'll forget all about missing sidecars.

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences, under the general tab, "treat JPEG files next to raw in form of images". If you have this option is checked, then Lightroom will import and view your first two and JPEG files. You use the active D-lighting on your camera? If you are, you must disable this feature.

  • New to Lightroom, import of raw CR2 files problem.

    I am new to Lightroom and can't import my raw CR2 photo files. In the section "import", I select my SD card that contains the raw image files. All the map .jpeg files appear as thumbnails, but the CR2 files show "extract not available for this file. I select one of the thumbnails CR2 anyway, select a folder on my external hard drive and click on "import".

  • In v31.0, I can view is more 'raw' XML files with line breaks and ' < ' and ' / > ' characters. Is there a setting that will give me this option?

    Until a few days ago when I opened a file XML with Firefox, I see the content of the file appears with line breaks and ' < ' and ' / > ' and elements. Like this:

    fixed image in < typeOfResource > < / typeOfResource >

     <genre authority="marcgt">picture</genre>
     <genre authority="nmc">Print, Photographic</genre>
     <originInfo>
       <dateIssued encoding="marc">1884</dateIssued>
       <dateIssued encoding="marc">1884</dateIssued>
       <issuance>monographic</issuance>
     </originInfo>
     <language>
    

    Now, it will display like this:

     still image picture Print, Photographic 1884 1884 monographic eng electronic
    

    No tags or line breaks. I need to see the entire XML file. How can I configure FireFox to display this for me? One of my colleagues uses v31.0 and XML views with tags and the line breaks for him.

    For example, I was looking at files sitemap.xml (search Google for inurl:sitemap.xml). For those who have not declared a style sheet, you should always see the classic "source highlight: presentation

    Example: http://www.website.com/sitemap.xml

    Are the files that don't appear as similar planned by not declaring a style sheet?

    As a temporary workaround, you can view the source to see the original. Either:

    • CTRL + u
    • Right click > view Page Source
  • Number of folders in my files with strange names

    I have installed 11 items, imported images, now have thousands of files with strange names.

    Still for delete.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall items, but the foders were still there.

    How bulk can remove these files, or manually uninstall so that I can remove all items?

    Screen Shot 2013-04-05 at 5.45.41 PM.png

    I seem to have solved the problem.

    I deleted "My catalog", after making a new catalog (required).

    On importing for the first time, I selected 'images' of file import.

    This time, instead, I chose all files from inside 'images' & the right file names are given, and none of the thousand of false records appear.

    Also may be a factor? I have my mac os x "photos" folder on a 2nd drive internal alias the original position of the OS disk.

    I'm not an apple person.  I read on a few different forums that apple has changed what is called 'writing' in a recent update to apple.  You may need to find an Apple expert to show you how to make sure you are allowed to write to files or locations on your computer.

    Hi Bobsirkus,

    The camera you have is compatible with the latest version of Lightroom, which is Lightroom 6/CC.

    Please see the list of the camera supported by Lightroom: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices

    You can use the DNG Converter, converts images and then import them into DNG in Lightroom.

  • I downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the camera Sony a6000.  However, it does not open images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    I downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the camera Sony a6000.  However, it does not open images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    I suggest you please update Camera Raw 9.1.1: Camera Raw of Adobe Photoshop CC and CS6 Installer

    Once done, launch Photoshop and click Help > about plug-in > Camera Raw.

    And check the version of Camera Raw, you see there, it should be the most recent.

  • I have a Nikon D 810 camera and Photoshop CS5.  I downloaded camera 8.8 Raw and DNG converter.  I can't open the raw (.nef) files, and treat them with the DNG Converter. What's not?

    I have a Nikon D 810 camera and Photoshop CS5.  I downloaded camera 8.8 Raw and DNG converter.  I can't open the raw (.nef) files, and treat them with the DNG Converter. What's not?  Thank you!

    As I said earlier, the DNG Converter works ONLY on files, not on files.

    Do not target the individual files.  Target Of THE FOLDER that contains them.

    Make sure that said FILE DO NOT contain any other files , you have already settled before, or your settings will be eliminated when re-converted to DNG.

    No need to write long explanations.  More messages are, the more chances you have of receiving relevant responses.

  • How to stop Lightroom (1.4.1 - I know it's old!) to automatically adjust my raw DNG file?

    How to stop Lightroom to automatically adjust raw DNG files?

    I use Lightroom 1.4.1 from a CS4 installation.

    I know it's old, but it works for my case, so no need to pay for an upgrade so far.

    I'm shooting with a Nikon Df RAW images.  And no matter if I shoot just RAW or RAW + JPEG.

    My camera creates a NEF file.

    I then use Adobe DNG Converter to convert the file to DNG.

    I then import the DNG in Lightroom.

    My Lightroom preferences include 'none' to develop the parameters when importing.

    When I view the imported file in the Panel to the POINT, there are some basic settings that have been applied.

    Temp, tinted, blacks, brightness, contrast.

    Certainly, the image is "prettier" with these adjustments, and surely I can come back to '0' settings if I want to see the image of 'RAW', but that the of is happening here and how can I have the image start with no adjustment?

    If he hit the "RESET" button, it returns it to these adjustments.  Confusing.

    Any suggestions?

    See you soon!

    Once back to zero in the development module access to the develop menu item and search for "set default settings." A click on it. That puts the default settings for this camera images to all zeros for all newly imported images. In regards to the already imported image, you could try to synchronize and or copy it to all others.

  • Lightroom 3 will not import raw photo files

    I have Lightroom 3 running on an older machine (Windows Vista). I used a Canon EOS Rebel XS camera and recently upgraded to a Canon Rebel EOS T5. I managed to import my Rebel XS raw files in Lightroom, but it won't let me import the raw files of the rebellious T5. I updated Lightroom 3 day, but I simply have to get a new more updated version of Lightroom? If so, which?

    Your new device needs at least 5.4 of Lightroom. Adobe sells more Lightroom 5. You can switch to Lightroom 6, or subscribe to the creative cloud, or you can download the free DNG Converter and create DNG copies that you can use with the software you have.

  • I have a 80 d but iPhoto, Lightroom 5 &amp; Photoshop will not import RAW (CR2) files

    I just bought n 80 d and was happy with the possibility of processing the RAW (CR2) files, but all my photo programs will not import the files, because they are not recognized. iPhoto, Photoshop and Lightroom 5.  I'm under Maverick on my Mac.  Strange thing however, Image Capture will import them. Any suggestions?

    The 80 d is a bit too new.  It is normal that updates camera RAW trolling a few months.

    I see that Adobe does support your camera if you upgrade to Lightroom CC.  See: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/03/camera-raw-9-5-now-available.html

    As for Apple, you can see a big difference between updates of the Mavericks:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201071

    vs updates for El Capitan (Mavericks is two complete versions behind):

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT205272

    Even though Apple has not yet released the Digital Camera RAW for the 80 D update, I'm pretty confident that you will find that you have to upgrade to get to El Capitan.  BTW, OS updates are free from Apple.  Just launch your app 'App Store' and check the updates and you should see which indicates that an upgrade of the OS is available for you.  (Apple has stopped selling updates of the BONE several years ago.)
