Import problem

[Jacco5D51]

I have a new camera Nikon D750. On my computer I have LR 7.0.1 and RAW 10.0. I can open NEF (RAW) and JPEG files and import from a harddisc. On my laptop I updated LR tot 10.1.1 and RAW 13.1. There LR will not open the NEF (RAW) files from the same harddrive so I can't work with those files on my laptop. I looked at the preferences, but cant find the problem. You see the foto but it stays gray and you can't do anything. I work with Windows 10. Any advice is welcome!

Thanks for your post Jacco

Can you confirm you have Lightroom Cloud-based (CC) on your desktop computer, and LR Classic on your Laptop?

Have you imported the RAW file into your Laptop, and then try to edit (but its grayed out)?

I think thats what I understand is your working process .. .. ..

I also have difficulty understanding your workflow, so I will dissect your post with questions!

Note: All Lightroom versions do NOT use or need Camera Raw! ACR is a Plugin for Photoshop only.

I have a new camera Nikon D750.

OK! D750 supported in all Lr-Classic versions (since v5.7)

On my computer I have LR 7.0.1 and RAW 10.0. I can open NEF (RAW) and JPEG files and import from a harddisc.

Where is that hard-disk? Internal or External USB?

And why are you still on 7.0.1? Is there something preventing an upgrade?

On my laptop I updated LR tot 10.1.1 and RAW 13.1.

So, is there an independent CATALOG on the Laptop that is NOT the same as the 'Desktop' Catalog?

You would need both the Catalog and photo files on an External USB drive to swap it between a Desktop and Laptop computers!

There LR will not open the NEF (RAW) files from the same harddrive so I can't work with those files on my laptop.

Do you mean the LR v10.1.1 will not IMPORT the NEF files to the Laptop Catalog?

(Lr-Classic works with database Catalogs. It does not "Open" files)

I looked at the preferences, but cant find the problem.

"Looked at.." What exactly? How? Did you do a Preferences Reset?

You see the foto but it stays gray and you can't do anything.

Where is it "gray"?  Is this in an Import dialog, importing the NEF files to the laptop Catalog?

If the Catalog is swapped between computers, greyed in the Import dialog would suggest the photo file is already imported to the Catalog.

Sorry for the questions, but the only way for other users to 'get-the-picture' of your system!

Please explain and describe in detail what happens when LrC 10.1.1 will not work with those files. Show us screen captures (include in your reply by clicking on the "Insert Photos" icon; do not attach files)
