HELP!!!  I Can't Import .CR2 Files In Lr4?!?!

Mar 23, 2012 6:02 PM

I have a Canon Digital Rebel T3 and everytime since yesterday I tried to import images it tells me it can't read file *****.CR2.  I Am fairly new to photography but would like to know what a .CR2 file is and how suddenly I'm getting them and it won't let me import them.  Did I accidentally change a setting in Lr4?

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

    I don't know but it's working now...  The .CR2 files (RAW files I found out) are being imported after I changed the destination directory.  I didn't like the where I had them going before  as a destination.  Drive space isn't an issue either...  So I don't know.

    I have just got LR4 and the same thing happened to me after I chose a new directory to import them to, just refused to import them. I am importing Canon 5D2 CR2 raw files. However, when I used the default 'my pictures' it worked. Not good when you want to specify a folder for your images. Have you had any more insights into this?

    Hi...

     

    I haven't had the problem occur since the original post of this thread.  So, I'm not sure what happened exactly.  I just changed the import directory and it worked.

     

    Cheers!

    Make sure you have permissions to write to the selected directory.
