Question

Lightroom Classic won't read SD cards.

A few days ago, Lightroom Classic stopped reading RAW files from my SD cards. My Nikon D850 can read them and Lightroom will read them from the XQD card in my camera.  Yesterday, the Denoise function in LRC ceased to work.  I'm using an iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020, running Ventura13.5.1.

More than likely, the SD card reader stopped reading; it has nothing to do with Lightroom Classic.

What do you mean? What do you see? Please describe in detail. Also please provide the version NUMBER of your Lightroom Classic.

I've used both an Advent USB card dock and the dock at the rear of the iMac.  Lightroom reads neither.  Yet iMovie reads the card from my trail camera on the same iMac, from the same Advent dock.  So the dock is working.  My Lightroom Classic version number is 12.5.

 

I've resolved the Denoise issue myself.

Thanks John.  I checked that a couple of days ago and again after your post.  It has full disk access.


Can the Mac Image Capture utility download the raws from that card?

 

If so, what precisely do you see when you do LR Import?
