I am importing thousands of images, and some of them are .png, .bmp and .gif files. I understand that they will not show up in LR, however, is there anyway to find them in these folders using LR? OR do I need to search for them through Mac OS and do something with them that way?
View 1 RepliesI Find the find, CMD + F, function really useful but often i need to find multiple files at once. I tried entering a comma between the file names in the box but it doesn't work. Is there another way of finding multiple files in one sweep ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLightroom 3.6 is not finding my newly exported .jpg files when I use Synchronize Folder. This has been working for me since I got LR many months ago, but today after I make adjustments to a .cr2 file and export the file to a .jpg file in the same folder, synchronize folder isn't finding the new .jpg files. Interestingly I used Windows Live Photo Gallery to copy/resize one of the .jpg files I'd exported, and LR *does* find that file, just not the originally exported one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using a Nikon D7100 and recording my photos in the Raw/NEF-RAW format. Recently, whenever I am uploading my photos to Lightroom 5, my photos are changing to .dng files rather than staying in the NEF file. When I go and look back at my previous imports from the past few times, they are in NEF and NOT in .dng. Why is this doing this and how do I turn this feature off so that my files remain the same going from my camera to my computer through importation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to a 5D and LR4.. when I import the files load as CR2 files, not DNG files. When the files import it takes 4 files to find them. It also will not recognize the file names in the library. How do I fix this to import like it did in LR 3??
View 2 Replies View RelatedToday I went to LR4 and tried to import RAW CR2 files into the program using the usual import process which is pretty automatic. I also asked that copies be saved as DNG files. No matter what I tried, I got an error message saying that the files could not be imported. I use a Canon 5D Mark III. The only difference in today's shoot was that I used and HDSC card instead of a CF card. No other obvious changes. Clearly, this is a serious concern. What amI missing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am suddenly unable to import photo files from my computer directory into LR 4.3. I have imported thousands of photos previously, but now I get an error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location". I have seen comments elsewhere on forums which says that to solve this the "Destination" has to be set to "Pictures". I can't find anywhere to select "Pictures" in the Destination menu.
LR is now totally useless to me. How can you get to talk to an expert at Adobe? I just get sent round in circles and end up back on the forum every time!! This is urgent!
25/02/13 Solved this myself. Found after clicking on the arrow at the top right, I got a pull-down menu of recently used destination paths, and by ticking the one which showed "My Lightroom Photos/ Pictures" all was well. (My Lightroom Photos is my directory in which I keep all my photos).
Lightroom 2.7 won't import raw files from folder. After I choose files and click they come up as a white file that says (preview not available for this image ) and I can't go any further. Have no trouble importing JPEGS.

This started with Lightroom 3 - where I have tried to delete the preference file and then recreate - no luck, after alot of other things tried, I then uninstalled Lightroom 3 and installed a fresh version of Lightroom 4.2 - and the problem still exists.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI use a Lexar USB 3 card reader to import files created by my Canon 5d Mk-II. I click on Import on the lower left corner of LR, point to the drive which displays the files on the card. But when I click on Import LR simply sites there with the progress bar at the top not moving. I waited for quite a while several times and the files did not copy and import. Then I copied the files using Windows explorer to the folder where they are kept and tried to synchronize the folder but that option was not avaliable from the right-click on the folder name context menu. I have to shut down LR and restart before the Synchronize Folder appears again.
Another, and possibly related anomaly is the number of files LR report that could be imported. The number is always wrong. For instance, there may be 25 files sync but it reports something like 172.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have just started using a D4. I was trying to upload my photos, and the RAW files will not import. I was using LR3, and thought it had something to do with the version, so got LR5, and its not working. FIles could not be imported because they could not be read. I am on MAC OSX 10.5.7. Files will import fine if they are JPG, or RAW from my D3.

I just read:
Support for the Sony RX100 was added in Lightroom 4.2 or Camera Raw 7.2.
So read first and ask later. I think that's better.
I'm using LR 4.2, Windows 7 Pro.
I notice lately that sometimes when importing new files from a card, previously imported files are sometimes imported again.
I do check "organize my files by date," and after the date folder is created, I typically modify the folder name to add a description. I also rename files on import. I always check "new."
Still, I thought that LR could keep track of this type of stuff.
I am trying to import .psb files into LR4. They don't show up, even if they were saved with Max. Compatibility. Is there a workaround for this?
ps: I'm having no problem importing .psd's
I have been using LR since version 1 and never had this happen before. When I have an SD card filled with jpegs and RAW files from my Fuji X100 camera and try to import all of them into LR 4, ONLY the jpeg files get imported. None of the RAW files get moved into LR at all. I have to create a new folder, move all the RAW files so that they are alone, and do a second import. Why cannot I import all at one time, not even thinking about the difference?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had assumed LR would import WAV audio files, but it is not recognizing them.
I should explain I had the photos already in my library (without audio), and went back later to import the associated WAV files from a backup location (with WAV only, no photos).Now the WAV files have the same name as the (corresponding) photos, but a WAV suffix.
#1 - Confirm if LR even supports Audio files?
#2 - If yes, is there a way in my scenario to get it to ingest those audio files?

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhy Lightroom 3 won't import NEF files taken on a D90. OS Windows 7 home Premium 64 bit, 8GB Ram, 1.5TB HD, Intel i7 860 2.8ghz, ATI Radeon 5700 Display driver series, lightroom 3 64 bit installed.
The first issue is that import in lightroom either A) Starts the import, gets through about 10 NEF files and locks/hangs indefinately followed by the Lightroom is not responding message and lightroom has to be closed down or B) Opens import module but locks/hangs whilst trying to find the images which are on an SD card - this happens whether the card is inserted into the PC card reader, an external card reader or direct from camera or C) Will not even consider opening the import module. The import module also freezes/hangs when trying to create a new catalogue. As it stands I'm unable to import directly into Lightroom from an SD card - and I've tried different cards and brands.
The strange thing is I'm having a similar issue trying to transfer the NEF files by using windows explorer - i.e. freezes & hangs, however after a number of attempts I am eventually able to copy the files over to the HD - although it is so slow.... & back-up to an external HD. Now here's the strange thing, once the NEFfiles are transfered onto the HD Lightroom will import them, but not without a fight. Again in the import module it freezes/hangs but when the "lightroom is not responding" message comes up, if you choose the "wait until lightroom" responds option it eventually imports the chosen files.
I've tried all the usual fixes - start a new catalogue, delete preferences & .lock files, unistall & re-install, update codecs for Nikon files, recalibrate the colour profile, use a generic sRGB profile, update ATI drivers etc. All other modules etc appear to work fine, although I don't use all of them, but certainly everything in library and develop aooears normal
As it currently stands I'm having to reconsider whether I want to continue investing in the Lightroom system as it just isn't acceptable for this to keep occuring and no fixes released by Adobe. I've used lightroom since 1.0 and Nikon NEf files through that time, but since version 3 it has become impossible to utilise
I have old slides that I scan with a photosmart S20 scanner. The best quality option scan is to save it as bitmap. How do I import it to the Lightroom catalog?
