View 2 RepliesSome of my imported photos are showing blank in preview mode before I import, reading Preveiw unavailable for this file. Does this mean when I import they wont be imported.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI deleted a lot of old photos from my external hard drive, which seems to have messed up my link of some photos to LR. When I got on yesterday, one huge wedding collection showed the "offline or missing ?" thing but still showed the actual photo. In trying to re-link the photos to LR, I think I did two things that royally messed me up. I opened up an older catalog, which had the large wedding collection, but it now turned up the photos as totally blank. The collection still shows 2000+ photos in it, and each photo shows the little symbols that show which have been edited, and they still show the ? in the top corner, but no photo.how to reconnect the photos without messing more photos up?

Importing the RAW files is not a problem, once they are imported, the prevews are shown in the Library. I would like to make a first selection during import but without the previews this is not possible. I am working with Lightroom 3.6
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought Lightroom 5.2 but I'm not able to preview or import any files from my Synology NAS (4.3 software version) where I keep all my photos.
I see the filestructure and the files but I don't see a preview version of the file and when I import I get "The files appear to be unsupported or damaged".
When I look at files to import on the local harddrive, I see previews of the files so it seems to work there.
I have no problem displaying the NAS photos using OS X Finder. I assume there is some general setting that is wrong because out of 15000 photos I could not import any, only imported 5 short iPhone movies that accidently happened to be stored in the photo file structure.
I recently deleted a few files in cleaning up my desktop, however, in doing so managed to delete a few folders that had some really important photos on them. In lightroom I still have the previews for them, but can't work out if/how I can restore the photos from the previews.

I have Lightroom 3 AND 4 on my machine at the minute, running OSX Lion on Mac, and if I have the same card in the same card reader - I see soem unimported file previews with 3, but not with 4! What the hell - older version seems to work better than the new one!!
So I want to import some pics and this statement comes up, " Preview unavailable for this file" see attached. I imported the pics once and then realized that I did not batch name them like I always do. So I deleted them from LR then renamed them in Bridge, then tried to important them again, it is a no go. So I have LR 4.1, I use Mac book pro, Mac os x version 10.7.4. I am pulling these pics off of my external Hard drive, I have never run into this problem before when I was using LR3.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI noted after importing my images from my disk f(to Lr5) that some floral images were missing.Luckily they were on my backup disk so i moved these floral images from my backup disk to the proper floral folder in my int. disk f. Now how do i import these new images that are located in their particular floral folder which are indeed there.Also how do you set up these new files to do a preview setup. did try to import these new images,but lightroom would not let me do it because it grayed out the images telling me that we noted some duplicate images here. Yes, i did see a few dups of these images in the floral file. If i deleted these dups under its proper folder in disk f shouldn't lr5 let me continue the import?

for some reason I get the message 'preview unavailable for this file' for about 50% of the photos in the import module of LR4.1. This only seems to be an issue upon import since the files still import as usual and I do not encounter any further issues after the import with developing etc. It's not a huge problem for me but still quite anoying as I am not able to review my photos before actually importing them.
Here are some further details:I am shooting with a Nikon D300s, all photos are in NEF-format, I use USB-mini USB connection between computer and camera. The problem occurs on both my Macbook Pro Retina 2012 and my iMac Mid-2010. The problem only occurs with LR4, I didn't have any problems with LR3.
I add five photos to a folder in Lightroom 4.3. The photos are in the specified folder in Windows. Import shows the five photos as imported but greyed out and semi-highlighted. Library does not show these five photos. What can I do?
View 10 Replies View RelatedSuddenly, I am getting the above message, when trying to import RAW files in LR 4.3. I tried with two different cards and two different Readers.
When I click on Import, I get a blank thumbnail of all the photos with the message in it. I was able to see the photos in Finder on the Compact Flash card with no problem.
I have LR and camera up to date for a while, so nothing different has been done that I know of.
I'm using LIghtroom 5.3, and raw camera 8.3, the latest update available. I found from Adobe's site that this version supports D7100 raw image imports. But when trying to import D7100 raw images, I get a message that "the file is not recognized by the raw format support in LIghtroom."

When I want to plot a pdf using either the Plot command and Cute PDF writer, or the Output to PDF command, the preview shows up as a blank page. If I continue to Plot the pdf is written correctly, I just can't preview it to confirm it is correct.
When I try this via the Plot dialog box I get a white screen with a "Preview Job Progress" window and 2 buttons, Help and Cancel, neither of which is clickable. (See attached) I have to right click>Exit to get back to the dialog box. I have been using this method to print pdfs for 5-6 years with no problems.
When I use the Output tab I just get the white screen, which I then close and go back to the tab controls. The same thing happens when I use the Page Setup manager.
I don't know if this is connected but I have lost all ability to send prints to any of the printers in our office. I have downloaded the drivers again to no effect. So now I have to make pdfs, save to a file on our server, switch to the Mac side of the computer, and send the pdf to the printer.
I am an amateur photographer. I just purchased a brand new NIKON D3300 took a few pictures, signed up for the Adobe annual Photographers Creative Cloud annual program and my first task to have Lightroom import a few test photos fails and I have no clue why my raw + jpgs can't be imported. at the outset In Lightroom I also got a "Preview unavailable for this file" message for every image file when I pointed to the memory card I had connected to my computer:
The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (35)

I can preview video on LCD screen of camera but that is all. All the settings seem to be ok. (PAL). However, the options panel is greyed out except for insert to timeline option. Also, the video properties in the options panel are all greyed out. I have a previous version VS3 on another computer which shows the preview window OK on capture. Could this be the integrated video card in my new computer or is there something else going on here?
