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 & 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:

    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.)

  • Lightroom CC will not import scanned .tif files

    Hello

    I try to import a folder full of photos that I had scanned a few years ago as 120 film .tif files on my Imacon. My research told me that there are 256 items (images) in the folder, but only 11 appear in Lightroom CC import window. Any idea what's going on here? I never had problems to import files from the scanner before.

    Thank you
    John

    The file names have a TIFF extension.  Needs an extension, Photoshop Lightroom does not.

  • Window Movie Maker will not import a mp3 file get that a C: {file location} .mp3 error could not be imported

    OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

    I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

    Hello spardigus,

    1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

    Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

    It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

    Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

    I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

  • Canon 80 d will not import raw in lightroom

    I just bought the new Canon 80 d after having the work of 5dm 2 and 70 d Canon very well during the import. The new d 80 raw images will not import into lightroom. I get a message saying that the files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. I did the last update of Lightroom CC and still won't matter. I normally changed to DNG on import, but it won't matter unless the change is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

    Lightroom open, click sur-aide > Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

    You should see "version 2015.5" near the top of the "About" box  What do you see?

    If you do not see "version 2015.5" then you don't have the latest version.

    The 80 d Canon requires 2015.5 or v6.5

    Anthing less won't matter to the D 80. (unless CR2s converted to DNG in the free Adobe DNG Converter)

  • Lightroom will not import the cr2 files

    I'm trying to import CR2 files in Lightroom and it is said that "certain import operations were conducted not.» The following files were not imported because they could not be read", then it will display the file name. I saw on the forum where it is perhaps a mistake to write, but I don't know where to go to change these settings. I use an iMac on the latest OSX and the most up-to-date CC. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert with the product.

    You go to your operating system (Mac Finder) and change the permissions on the folder to READ & WRITE permission. Which folder? The folder specified in the import in Lightroom under Destination dialog box.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos

    I can't Lightroom to import my photos. I get the error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read. (997)

    My card is not corrupt.

    I already checked my permissions, and they are set to read and write.

    I tried to import directly from the camera and through my card readers - nada.

    It just started this week. Who went once and when I tried again once, it worked. Now it won't work at all. Incredibly frustrating! I see others are having this problem with no answer... Help, please!

    I'm on a Mac working on Lightroom CC.

    In the import dialog box, make sure you have the Destination panel open. (This problem seems to be new in 6.1)

  • will not read the photo files

    When I download Canon 70 d to my adobe lightroom photos will not read anything else than .jpg files. Others are shown but foggy. When I try to import in lightroom, I get the impossible to read the message. Never happened before. Where am I wrong?

    For the 70 D to be supported, you must at least 5.2 LR: https://helpx.adobe.com/de/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    I suggest upgrading to LR6 (later). The upgrade is about 70 dollars and worth it - just my 2 cents.

  • Image Viewer Windows will not import the photos. Says it can't read DSCF7703

    error message that says: "the following erro has occurred occurred when importing DSCF7703.jpg.»  The system cannot read the specified device.  I downloaded on this computer many pictures of this camera and it has always worked well.  If I change the importing program, it still does not.

    =============================
    Perhaps you could import the photos manually:

    Connect the camera to the computer via a USB cable and
    Turn on the camera.

    Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
    Storage...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the camera. He can say removable disk

    If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
    and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

    The directory of the memory card in the camera must
    poster and if you browse through the various
    files, you must find the photo files.

    Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
    on your hard drive.

    Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
    or external USB memory card reader.

    It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
    FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
    can be low after a long photo shoot could result
    corrupted photos.

  • Photos will not import iPhone photos

    I'm trying to import pictures from my iPhone 5 s on my MacBook. However Photos will only recognize new pictures although I have hundreds that have not been imported on Photos or iPhoto. Image capture will not also recognize other photos on my phone. I have no idea how use AirDrop and am completely at a loss on how to get my pictures on my computer and my phone.

    It's a big question, Alicia. I lost of valuable photos, myself and always want to make sure that they are safe now.

    I'm sure you've seen these instructions before, but it also contains information on how you can share photos on all your devices using iCloud photo library. Import photos and videos from your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

    If these are pictures that you already imported, with your iPhone connected to your MacBook Pro and the Photos app opened, under the "Import all new Photos" button on the top right, you should see a toggle button for "show all". When you click on that, it will display all photos that are found on your iPhone. You just choose the ones you want to import and then click the "Import # Selected" button where the ' # ' shows how many photos you have chosen to import.

    AirDrop is also a great way to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Mac. How to use AirDrop with your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

    Let me know if this is helped. Thank you!

  • my laptop will not import my photos and my itunes doesn't sync new music

    I'm not sure that the question is my Iphone 5 or the laptop. When I plug my phone both the laptop and the phone between them pick up and my phone syncs automatically, however, my phone always wonder if I want to import new photos and then once I clicked on Yes, it says that no pictures are available. Also when you try to import pictures on an app on the phone, he could not pick up one of my recent photos.

    As well as what I downloaded some new music on my itunes on my laptop, however, given that I brought music apple songs downloaded on my itunes on my laptop will not sync and I don't know why. The phone syncs and always put my new music on the phone when it syncs, but it's their import is no longer automatically.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    You can copy photos manually from the film. It might sound like a somewhat random Folders collection.

    With Apple active any music that you add to your library becomes automatically available for you to download or listen to on your device. Music sync via USB, however.

  • Lightroom CC do not import the xmp files, help please.

    I tried to import the .nef files w/sidecar xmp from another computer.  I copied the files on a SD card, and then read the SD in the new computer.  The folder contains the related file NAVE and xmp.  None of the settings came to the new computer.  Any suggestions on how to get copied changes on (it's on about 1 200 pictures, so it would be nice).  The original raw files were correctly; any changes. Thank you...

    Thanks to everyone for their help...  I understood the question.  I needed to copy the XMP files in folders that contain the associated images.  I then went in lightroom, selected all the images and metadata right click > read metadata from the file, I was warned that it would replace the catalog but since it is a new machine and the catalog, I said ok.  The changes came and everything worked.
