1. Re: Lightroom 3 check for updates not working?
dj_paige Apr 2, 2013 8:46 AM (in response to dtspin3333)I don't know why "check for updates" doesn't work ...
but ...
Lightroom 3 does not (and will never) support the Nikon D7100 NEF files. If you want to make use of these files in Lightroom 3, you will have to wait until a version of the free DNG converter supports these files, and then use that program to convert the NEF files into DNG files, which can then be imported into LR 3. As of today, there is no DNG converter that supports D7100 files, although we expect there will be support in the near future.
Right now, the only way to make use of D7100 NEF photos in Lightroom is to first use the Nikon software to convert the photos to TIF, then import into Lightroom.

hsbn Apr 2, 2013 9:01 AM (in response to dtspin3333)If you are already using the latest version of LR3 (3.6 or 3.7), of course when you hit "Updates" it will say "no update available". You cannot update from LR3 to LR4. You'll have to buy the upgrade.

web-weaver Apr 2, 2013 9:29 AM (in response to hsbn)Exactly.
There's updates and there is upgrades.
From Lr 3.5 to Lr 3.6 is an update.
From L3 to Lr4 is an upgrade.
Updates are free, for upgrades you have to pay.
The feature in Lr Help is called "Check for updates", not "Check for upgrades".

dtspin3333 Apr 2, 2013 9:42 AM (in response to web-weaver)Thank everyone. I was getting upgrade confused with update. Thanks for your help. And dj_paige......thank you, I'm aware of this and am already using View NX to convert my raw files.
Thanks again,
Dave
