• 5 Lightroom can't read and import the raw file

  I can't import my RAW files from my Nikon D750. When I try to import my SD card, I am able to see the preview, but when I try to import, I get a window that reads "the following files were imported not because they could not be read. I haven't changed anything on my camera on the LR5 parameters settings and this happened just today. I am able to transfer the files on my desk at the moment, but I can't yet import from there. I also tried reformatting the card and even tried another card so I don't think that the problem is the card or the device itself. I also do not seem to see updates that I need. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  As noted of Claes, it is almost certainly a problem with your destination set wrong in the import Panel. This happens quite easily. You get the error message is almost always due to the destination without folder do not write access. Really check your destination. This should NOT be the root of your startup for example disk level and for some reason any sometimes default Lightroom at this place and then refuses to import because the OS refuses to let you write here.

• Import Canon RAW + Jpeg problem

  Hello fellow photographers!

  I have a strange problem when importing I don't understand...

  Last week I made a visit to the city which I above all shot JPEGs. At some point but I came along some VERY contrast lighting situations so I decided to also take the RAWs and spent my 450 d RAW + JPEG fine mode. And here's the problem:

  When I try to import these 50 CR2 and Photos JPEG I get an unknown error of LR and that they do not matter.

  I tried to import both directly from the camera and the ones I imported earlier with the Image Capture.app to HD. In the latter case the previews in the import dialog box will not be displayed even.

  More interesting still when I shoot RAW only import is not an issue that confuses me completely. I mean, these are exactly the same. Files CR2 are not?

  I also tried allowing RAW and JPEG treatment as separate photos (or so, I use a German version) option, which allows me then import at least JPEG files and still receive errors on the CR2s.

  I use Lightroom 2.6 on Mac 10.6.2

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help

  Timo Sirinyan had this to say:

  I don't have one. I prefer also rather not go and spend money buy one if I can avoid it.

  A card reader is really cheap. Maybe US $20.

  Moreover, where the point using a card reader if I can just connect my camera still?

  Judging by the almost universal recommendation to not direct connect

  the camera to transfer photos, one would surmise that there must be

  a reason, this is not recommended, right?

  Many times, it is faster to use a card reader. Also less prone to errors

  transfers. And less draining on your camera battery, since the camera

  didn't need to be on during the transfer. Probably other reasons, but those

  are enough to make the vast majority of people use a card reader...

• Could not import Sony Raw - JPEG OK photos

  I just bought a Sony A7II to my Stanford Sony store. When I import Raw SD card, it will appear the preview. It works well with fine JPEG formats. I downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter Camera RAW 8.7.1, which i understand the Sony A7II.

  What should I do?

  This means that you don't have WRITE permission in the destination folder.

  You should:

  1. In Lightroom, determine the exact destination folder (it is on the right side of the import dialog box under Destination)
  2. Change the permissions in your operating system on this specific file WRITE permission; OR Change the destination folder in a place where you don't have WRITE permission

  After almost a year of working great, my Lightroom doesn't is more afford to import the RAW of Nikon 7200 images. I upgraded to Lightroom 6.3 and which did not help. What can I do?

  Seems to be a problem with the destination location.

  Try changing the location of destination at the top on the right under 'FOR' pictures folder or any other location on your local hard drive.

  Alexandra,

  The downloader of elements module does not provide an option to filter the files imported by their type (jpg or raw). You can filter only the videos photos. I'm agree it would be an asset!

  What you can do instead:

  -use your operating system (Explorer / finder) to import files to your computer via your card reader: you can order your files to import extension (jpg, CR2, NEF,...) and select the raw files. Then use the function "Import" elements to import from "Files and folders" (which "registers" files in the catalog).

  - Or you can use the download of standard element and remove JPEG files later. Not very elegant, but it works.

  - Or you can use the function "Import" elements and choose in "Files and folders" instead of card reader or the camera, then go to the card reader. The card reader is considered to be a separate drive. You can select only the raws in the import dialog box by setting the order of the files in the file (CR2, NEF...) instead of file name extension. You select the first item, then shift click the last one. Only the raws are selected. Now, pay attention to have the box 'Copy' the o files. Otherwise, the elements would consider your photos on a removable drive. The photo files will be copied to your computer in a special subfolder 'photo of removable drives.

• Convert already imported and updated the RAW files to DNG

  I have a number of games that I imported the RAW files and that he did not convert to DNG at the time of importation. How can I convert them into DNG now that they are already imported and retain the settings of development made to the RAW files?

  In the Lightroom library module, menu bar select Library > convert to DNG. Then make you choices in the pop - up dialog box.

• Help with importing images .raw and b + w filters

  I recently picked up a large number of b + w images.  With most of these images, I apply a red in the filter of the camera.  When I then import photos in lightroom 2.3 that a color version of my image is then made, without the red in camera of the filter I took photos with.  No one knows so as to restrict the lightroom changing .raw their version color images and show them that they have been taken.  If it's important I shoot with a Canon 1000 d.   Help, please!   Thank you.

  Lightroom does not take into account metadata settings that are what is applied when you are working with RAW and use the Canon picture Style settings.

  Those who apply to the format JPG, but not VINTAGE.  It's actually a feature, not a bug, because it is considered to give you more control by using the settings in Lightroom for Monochrome and apply red shades - more you could have always still the flexibility of manufacturing was if color printing you want, that you would lose if RAW applied the picture Style settings.  If it you shoot in RAW + Jpeg (or Jpeg only), bugs and provide JPEG images in LR, but I recommend to stick to RAW and applying the changes in Lightroom instead.

• Develop settings when importing RAW + jpeg

  When you import my D700 NEF files, I apply the sharpening preset landscape and I'm happy with the results.  However on my Fuji X 20 I import RAW + jpeg rather than just RAW, in this situation if I use the landscape sharpening sharpening preset is applied for JPEG and RAW format, leading to the already sharp in-camera jpeg being much more sharp.  If on the other hand I have not to use any to develop pr - game no sharpening or noise reduction is applied to the jpeg format and a minimal amount applied to the file RAW, more or less what I want but I want the sharpening of landscape higher applied to RAW files.  Is - this here anyway to change pre-sets frame so that they have only applied to RAW files when importing RAW + jpeg pairs?

  Dave Rosser

  In my view, the answer is no, you cannot apply a preset upon import, depending on the type of file.

  What you can do is after import you, filter on the Type of file and place it in JPG format and apply another preset that changes the sharpening of the filtered set of files, then go back and disable the filter and works with both sets of images you want.

  To filter by file Type, you must go to the library network, activate the filter with the backslash bar-key if necessary, then select metadata and change one of the columns existing filter to tell the Type of file or add a new column of file Type.

  Once you have created and applied the filter, you can save it as a preset filter that can be applied by the predefined filter selector to the very good and just above the strip of thumbnails at the bottom, same mode develop.

  You could do one for raw and jpg in case you want to swap between the two, and if you shoot jpg with more than one camera model, you can add the model of camera for the filter criteria.

• Importing RAW + JPEG photos files times

  I put up my Nikon D5100 to shoot RAW + JPEG files when I take pictures. Photos is to import both, when I just want to import JPEG files. Can I separate the two formats and delete the RAW files in pictures? Also, how can I stop the RAW files to import in the first place?

  If I search for RAW files in Photos, the program shows them, but when I choose 'Get Info' on them, they show that the JPEG. Really weird...

  Yes you are right - this is exactly how it works - to use the RAW format as the original for editing then editing for a photo mode, click on use RAW original title in the menu image - these photos will have a RAW badge on them, others will have a JPEG badge on them--Photos that are found only in a format do not have a badge on them

  And I suggest review you both RAW and JPEG shooting and shoot that you want - if you pull them both, and then import that you'll both in Photos - you can use Image capture and import from the camera on the disc and separate form BRUTE of the JPEG and import only the one you want - but even for me it is just logical to the format you want to shoot not the format you want

• How to delete imported photos raw files?

  Hello everyone,

  I imported via a usb cable for my 700 d canon pictures photos app (yosemite of macbook air)

  usually, I shoot jpeg + CR2 (so later I can adjust if necessary) and the photos app both imported (automatically) (although CR2 is the canon raw file format)

  I discovered that my photo library is now 15 GB causes of all imported... raw files while I wanted to import only jpeg

  How to remove raw (CR2) files?

  apparently if you delete the photo the cr2 file remains in the library, no way to separate or to cancel the two... an idea?

  TKS!

  When I import RAW + JPEG pairs to my library of Photos, Photos show the pair as a single picture. When I delete this single photo, both the RAW and JPEG are removed from the record masters in the library of Photos after I empty the album recently deleted.

• Is it possible to export and import forwarding a file option to another?

  Hi all

  I have the model in the idml file that does not have fixed reference options. I need to update these settings from one document to another. Is it possible to export and import the reference parameters of a file to another file (such as the import of paragraph styles).

  Thanks in advance

  Not through the user interface, but perhaps by script. Ask above in InDesign Scripting

• Will not import the Raw files after...

  My MacBook Pro has a large part of this memory maximum... To free up space that I deleted some of the LR (Version 6.5 Camera Raw 9.5) keep on your computer to work with smaller files...

  Now, I wanted to go back and import some of the original RAW files from an external hard drive and LR does not recognize or products are imported...

  What I so can't do this solves so I can work with the... original RAW files?

  You cannot correct the error "file not found" by importing. It's 100 percent the wrong thing to do in this situation.

  You must reconnect the photos in Lightroom by following the instructions here: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing
