Unable to import raw files into Lightroom on Mac

I am trying to download raw Nikon (NEF) photos in Lightroom.  I was able to easily download them to my computer based on windows, but you just bought a mac and lightroom seems to no longer accept these photos.  Please let me know if there is a setting that I can change.  Thank you.

What kind of error message do you receive? Quote it exactly, if you please.

If it says that the file cannot be read, this means that they cannot be written. Not the greatest error message. In any case, if this is the case, you will need to change the permissions on the folder that you copy in, while you are allowed to write there.

(If you try to write on an external drive that you used on your Windows machine, it is probably formatted so that the Mac addresses it read-only. There you can get programs that allow to write on these Mac disks.)

If this isn't an error message, let us know.

    Is it possible to import Raw files into the LR catalog...... including all changes in an external file raw editor such as Capture One?

    I can import the Raw file successfully, but can't see all the changes that have been applied in Capture One. IM assuming not, but just to check.

    Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own exclusive process and profiles to render the raw data.

    They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and save changes to a .xmp file or to a Lightroom catalog file.

    The XMP files should not make a difference. If you happened to have used Nikon Transfer to download images of your D7200, that might be the problem. Some versions of this program are known to make the images unreadable by Adobe software. If this is what happened, here is a utility that you can download that is supposed to fix the images so that they open in Lightroom:

    For more information, please check your Lightroom screen subject for the exact version of the program that you are running.

  • Unable to import raw files after 5 Lightroom update!

    I tried to download my photos from my SD card on the 5 light bathroom reader. It's a lot of photos, more of 1000 and when I try to import the photos a message quickly enough and he said "certain import operations were not conducted and the following files were not imported because they could not be read. (1078), I've tried about 20 times.

    Please help me.

    Hi emmashortfilms,

    This seems to be a permissions issue.

    Make sure that the location in the import window is correct and read full & write permissions.

    Location of destination can be changed by selecting the drop down menu at the top directly in import next window of ' to THE '.

    Kind regards

  • ?? I've updated 6.0 to the latest version (6.3), which should make it compatible for RAF Fugifilm XT-10.  However, when I try to import these files into Lightroom, it does not recognize the file.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    I bought the XT-10 Fugifilm.  On the Adobe website, it indicates that Lightroom 6.1 and above is compatible with the file format of RAF.  However, even after the update, LR won't recognize the files when I try to import them.

    If someone has experienced this problem and found a solution?

    [Ask in the correct forum allows... Left non-technical Forum Lounge for forum specific program... MOD]

    The current version is 6.6.1

    What's new in Lightroom CC 2015.6.1 and Lightroom 6.6.1? Lightroom Queen

    Try to update to 6.6.1 and see if you still have the same problem.

  • Import d7200 Nikon .nef files into Lightroom 5.7.1

    Why Adobe don't make it easy on photographers and do so that you can directly import raw files into lightroom from Canon or Nikon or Olympus.  Why hassle free to your users and make them go through the dng converter.  This seems really bad business.

    The D7200 requires at least 6.0 Lightroom or Lightroom CC 2015.0. If you have this version and get this message then it could be that you used an earlier version of the Nikon software to upload your images.

    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.

    I recently acquired a Nikon D750 but am unable to open RAW files in Photoshop CC 2015 on my PC. They will open in Lightroom.

    Have you downloaded the photos using the Nikon software? It is known that will corrupt files, so that the PS can not open them. This test by shooting an image and opening directly from the map, or your operating system allows to transfer the image.

  • Lightroom - can I import RAW files, re - order, then change the numbering of the original RAW file?

    Lightroom - can I import RAW files, re - order, then change the numbering of the original RAW file?

    I used two different cameras and several memory cards to shoot a recent wedding. Unfortunately, time of the camera were a different time, so the time of capture does not correctly order them. Obviously neither does the name of the file...

    Thank you

    Yes, after you use Lightroom to correct the capture time in the files themselves, in the library the library module > rename Photo allows you to rebuild all the filenames selected from scratch. Just customize the preset file name. Use the chips here, you can set up a change of name that begins with a numbering sequence (so that they appear in the order you want) and including the Date, hour, Minute, second in addition to other chips or custom text to add to each file name.

  • why I can not open my D7200 Nikon RAW files in lightroom 4.4, it'll work if I upgrade LR CC?

    why I can not open my D7200 Nikon RAW files in lightroom 4.4, it'll work if I upgrade LR CC?

    Hi mikegcross,

    Nikon D7200 files are not supported in Lightroom 4.4

    Yes, it would work very well after that the Lightroom CC/6 upgrade or you can use Adobe DNG Converter to convert these files to DNG and then import into Lightroom.

  • Why aren't my import NEF files in Lightroom 5 more?

    I have a camera of Nikon D7100, I shoot RAW in.  I imported these NEF files into Lightroom 5 of my camera on previous occasions, but recently I wanted to import new photos.  The new photos show on the Lightroom Import screen, but when I click on the button import the software acts as he begins the process of import, but never done, finally showing a warning box saying the file could not be read.  What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    I'm not familiar with the Apple disk utility to repair permissions, but if it does not change the permissions on the destination folder, then she will not solve the problem. In addition, sometimes people accidentally change the destination folder, and all of a sudden, the record isn't what you think it is. The symptom of labour stopped is often associated with an accidental change in the destination directory.

    So my advice in this situation is to actually determine what file is specified as the destination in the import dialog box (cela there looking in the dialog box import and make a note of which folder it is; not to assume whether the folder that you have always used) and then change the permissions on this file WRITE permission.
