Lightroom :: How To Import RAW Images

May 26, 2012

I have just purchased a Canon 5D Mark III.   I have Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4.   I have tried to import RAW images, but neither of the Lightrooms will import the images.   Do I need a plug in or update?

Lightroom :: After Import Images Adjust To Cross Process 1 Not Set In Import Settings

Nov 4, 2012

This issue occured shortly after update to 4.2, but not directly after. I am using windows 8.
 
The issue that occurs is after importing images they are adjusted automatically to develop module cross process 1. After dealing with this annoyance for a bit of time I realized that I can not even "RESET ALL" the images to delete the adjustment. In delving into other images that have been in my database for quite some time, I have tried to "RESET ALL", which resets images to CROSS PROCESS 1. I have never set import to automatically adjust.

Lightroom :: Import Images - Import Module Freezes For A Few Minutes?

Mar 13, 2012

I just upgraded from LR3.6 to 4.0. When trying to import images the import module freezes for a few minutes and then displays the import screen. However, when selecting a source the program freezes again and eventually crashes.
 
I had the same issue when upgrading to 3.6 some time ago and then found that disabling some USB controllers solved the problem. This works for LR4 as well. As I don't need all USB connections this is a workable solution, however, disabling controllers should not be necessary to run a program.
 
System is an Acer Aspire 7811 64 bits w/ Intel i7, Win 7 Home Premium, 8 GB internal mem and no external drives.

Lightroom :: Why Doesn't Auto Import Actually Import Images Into Catalog

May 19, 2012

I'm using LR4 with a Canon camera setup (Wind 7 Ultimate). I've got the auto import setting all configured with an incoming folder and destination. The app recognizes when an image is put in incoming folder and in fact it moves it to the destination folder. What is really annoying is that it leaves me at the import settings dialog and then I have to make all these choices as I would if I were manually importing.
 
Shouldn't the images be places in the desination folder and some view of that image be displayed in LR? It could be the folder view or ideally I want to see the last image imported at 1:1 size so I can review it and see if I want to take another shot?  Maybe there is some flag I've got set incorrectly.

Lightroom :: Import Images Grayed Out - No Import Option

Jan 17, 2011

I'm trying to import photos into LR3.3, and the thumbnails are grayed out, as is the import button. The photos come from two other cameras -- one Canon Elf, the other I'm not sure. I received them through dropbox, and they open fine with Bridge and Photoshop CS4.

Lightroom :: Unable To Display Preview Images During Import Of Raw Images?

Lightroom will not display preview images during import of raw images. Any images in other formats display fine but with raw images I get a gray window the size of the preview image and the words "preview unavailable for this file".

Lightroom :: 3.6 - How To Import Images As DNG

Jun 22, 2012

I really am utterly confused by LR.3.6
 
What I am doing is for every new set of images, say a wedding, I am setting up a new catalogue on the off board HD.
 
I then import the images as DNG's & that's after first off loading them as the original Nikon RAW files (I don't trust either LR or myself to get it right) onto another HD.
 
So, now I have 2x copies.

One original non-PP RAW files

One open in LR as DNG's which I then work upon.
 
Now, a few days later, I plug in the HD into my PC and Lo! File name is off line or missing.
 
This happens more often than not, so maybe 75% of my work flow is stymatised by having to work out what's happened or I have to start again on the PP.
 
At this point, I am trying to both open the .lrcat file either from within LR / File /  Open Recent or directly from the file on the offboard HD.
 
I can see the DNG's but LR seems unable to do so.
 
What error am I making?

Lightroom :: 5.3 On Mac Won't Import New Images

Feb 24, 2014

I recently upgraded from Lightroom 4.x to 5.3, and I am now unable to import any new images. The import dialog allows me to select files, but once I press the import button (and this includes using "Add", "Copy", and "Copy as DNG"), nothing happens. I've left it 'transferring' overnight — nothing. I eventually cancel and a box pops up that says "No photos or videos were found to import.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling LR5 and working with a fresh catalog. No luck. I even deleted all the preference files and everything. Nothing. I'm about to be in a real bind if I can't import new work soon.

Lightroom :: Can't Import Images Into 4

Feb 28, 2013

When I insert a CF card into my reader, thumbnails of my images appear in the organizer.  When I click on "Import", the following message appears: "The following files were not imported because they could not be read."  I didn't have this problem with versions 2 or 3 of Lightroom.

Lightroom :: Images Do Not Import?

Jul 21, 2013

Recently purchased LR5. When I import from my CompactFlash card via an external card reader, images do not import. Only blank grey thumbnails; no matter how long I wait. If I double click on a blank thumbnail, the image does show up. When I return to the thumbnail view, a bunch of surrounding images will appear as thumbnails, but not all. In order to get all of the images on the card to show as thumbnails, I have to double click on numerous thumbnails until all thumbnail images are loaded. If I'm importing photos to different folders, I have to go through this process over and over again.

Lightroom :: Why Will Images Not Import Into Via D610

Mar 7, 2014

I posted this questions previously and the answer was to update to 5.3, do a clean format and try again.  I did all of those things and RAW files will STILL not import into LR.  I've left it for up to 45 minutes with nothing but a spinning wheel and the "importing files" on the screen.

Lightroom :: 4 Will Not Import All Images From 5d Mark III

Sep 30, 2012

I imported my images from my 5d mark iii via LR4. The first 203 images imported perfectly the last 125 did not. The message read "the following files were not imported because the could not be read"? I don't understand, they were all on the same card? They show in lightroom when you are selecting which ones to import, they just will not import. I tried it two times   My LR4 is updated as well.

Lightroom :: Raw Files Import As B&W Images?

Oct 24, 2012

I'm a longtime LR user and just upgraded to LR4, but have one camera (Panasonic Lumix LX3) which LR import the raw images as bw. I can't figure out why?I've checked the import settings (import as DNG) (apply preset > None) etc. When I look in the History panel after import it just says the imported date, no indication of conversion to bw.

Obviously I can just convert them back to color in the develop panel but I don't understand why this is happening, and with only this camera's files (my Canons all import as normal)?

Lightroom :: Missing Images On Import

Apr 19, 2012

In lightroom 4 when I import images it does not show all the images in the folder.  I have deleted the folder from lightroom and attempted to reload it.  When I did it had the same problem it did not show about half or the images in the folder.  I went back to the folder and check all the images and could not find anything wrong with the images.

Lightroom :: Import Batch Of RAW Images Into 4.4

Jan 10, 2014

I imported a batch of RAW images into Lightoom 4.4 and see that a number of the images are displaying the icon warning that metadata has been changed in Lightroom although the affected images have only just been imported into the catalog and I have not made any changes to them. 130 images out of a batch of 300 are being affected.

I have selected the affected images and re-read the metadata using Metadata / Read Metadata from File, but within a couple of minutes of being re-read, the metadata changed icon has reappeared.
 
My initial thoughts were that I had changed one of the preferences and something was being automatically applied, but if that was the case then I would have expected it to be applied to all 300 images in the batch which were taken on the same day on a single camera. I've created a smart collection to identify images with metadata changed in Lightroom and find that they appear to be randomly spread through the catalog affecting both RAW images and jpegs from 3 different cameras.
 
In order to exclude any changes to Lightroom preferences I may have made, I installed Lightroom 4.1 on another PC and created a new catalog using the default settings. I then imported the same batch of 300 RAW images and confirmed that the same ones displayed the warning icon that metadata was changed in Lightroom .
 
The PCs are Windows 7 Professional, Lightroom 4.4 (Lightroom 4.1 on the test PC), RAW files are from Nikon D90 and D7100 cameras.

Lightroom :: Can't Import ANY Images Into 4.4 Since OS Upgrade

Apr 23, 2013

I can't import ANY images to LR 4.4 since upgrading my Mac OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 this past week. I downloaded LR5 Beta and all works well. I deleted LR5 Beta to see if it was conflicting with LR4.4 somehow and rebooted. Still no change. I can't import from my card reader (that says it can't even read the files) or from a location on my hard drive. The error message for importing is "Could not copy a file to requested location."

Lightroom :: How To Drag Images After Import

May 13, 2012

I import, and I think LIghtroom defaults to "previous import"
 
Then I want to drag around the images to taste, but they wont move.
 
You should then create a quick collection, but that does not work, when I click on that.
 
And then I'm supposed to search for the orginial folder? -- which could be 5 folders deep?

Lightroom :: Copying Images With Import?

Apr 10, 2012

i  store all my raw images on a hard drive before importing  into lr4.  Do I have to let lr copy all the images as part of the import process?  I don't see any way to not copy images when importing.

This really slows the import process when using 100's of raw nikon images. can I delete the copies that lr makes I guess that the catalog files are independent of the copy files since I use the location of my original raw files.

Lightroom :: Unable To Import Images Into 5 For Mac

Dec 21, 2013

I have been unable to import images into Lightroom 5.2 and 5.3 for the past several days.  Worked fine before.  There have been similar discussions on this topic, but none identical.  When I try to import from a cf card, no images show up to import.  In the import dialog, if I click on other source and navigate through directories on my hdd, all the images are greyed out.  This is true even for images that are not in my catalog.  I have tried creating a brand new catalog with the same results on import.  I have deleted all the preferences files.  I upgraded from 5.2  to 5.3 and that did not fix the problem.  I do not have the original dmg for Lightroom so am unable to try a complete re-installation.

Lightroom :: 4 Won't Import Selected Raw Images

May 11, 2012

I just imported approximately 1500 raw images shot with my Nikon D800. Approximately 75 of the files would not import and I got LR4 unable to import message for those files.

All images were NEFs and most seem to be in clusters among the 1500 files. The images all show up in CS5 Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 and open just fine in Photoshop CS5. They will show up in LR4 if I convert them to DNGs.
 
I just figured out that this is happening only with images that were shot at a 16:9 ratio, all other images were shot at the default 2:3 ratio. I would still like to understand why images shot at 16:9 won't show up in LR4.

Lightroom :: 3.6 Freezes When Trying To Import Images?

Jul 1, 2012

Lr 3.6 & Vista     When trying to import images to Lr 3.6, Lr freezes--it seems to be fighting with the previous screen (of the last set of images) against the screen that shows the images about to be imported, and I can't seem to un-block either screen. The tabs can't be operated, and I can't close the application either. What do I need to do to unfreeze or unblock this problem? This has occurred on both my Laptop and Desktop.

Lightroom :: How To Import Images From CF Card

Jan 15, 2014

I am a Canon shooter and a seasoned Lightroom user.  About a month ago my Mac stopped allowing me to import images from my CF card into Lightroom.  I have worked with Mac and Adobe to no avail.  At this point I know that my Mac can see the card and will me allow me to download images into iPhoto.  It will generate thumbnails in Lightroom, but will tell me that it's unable to read the images when I try a complete import.  If I switch users on my Mac to a dummy user, I am able to import the same images off my CF card. To my knowledge, I didn't changed any settings, at least not intentionally.
