Question

GPR (GoPro) RAW not supported by Lightroom CC Mobile

So GoPro claims itself as "the social media camera", still I can‘t import raw files from my GoPro into Lightroom CC Mobile on my iPad.

Is there a way to get my raw files into Lightroom CC Mobile without using a computer first? For example like I import my RAW files from my DSLR with a SD-Card adapter?

I'm having the same issue using Lightroom on Android.

 

I know this used to work in the past but at some point it stopped importing. GPR files.

 

I figured out that if you rename the raw file to change the extension from .GPR to . DNG the app accepts this and imports it.

 

I've been doing this for a while and it hasn't been a problem for the limited number of .GPR files I work on but it wouldn't want to do it if I had a lot of files.

 

This is my workaround to no having to run the files through a converter and using a computer.

 

If you could look into this I would appreciate it.

 

What I'm using:

Gopro Hero 10

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8+

 

Thank You

    hi, also doesnt work when you try importing the files from the SD card to Lightroom en macOS. seems like a failure from the software.

    I had the same problem and I solved it going to lightroom.adobe.com website and uploading the RAW files there through the website. You can create a new folder on the site and see it on your app.

      How can I save the GPR files from the Apple SD card reader to the Files app?

      That doesn't seem to be possible as a mobile workflow.
      It is possible over e.g. iTunes.
      The Camera Connection Kit only seems to import JPG's to the Camera roll.

      The ideal thing to do would be that the GoPro app allows syncing of non JPGs to the GoPro app.
      And that they are then saved into Files for others to use through sharing.

      Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much that Lightroom can do here.

      I can import the GPR files into LR CC as a GPR.  I cannot convert it to a DNG.  I can open it in Camera Raw in PS and SAVE AS a a PSD.

      Any clues on importing into LR as a DNG?

      I am using a MicroSoft Surface 3, WIN 10, and a HERO 7 Black

      This is exactly the same problem I have. I believe it’s due to the GPR file extension. I think iOS is only set up to look for certain photo extensions, and it knows about RAW but not GPR.

      I’ve had some success using my wife’s laptop to upload my files to Dropbox and then renaming the file extension from GPR to RAW and then importing to Lightroom.

      But, the whole idea for me is to not have to use a laptop to get to the RAW file.

      I think the best thing GoPro could do is to allow us to set the GPR files to save as a RAW file extension in the camera settings.

        Can you let us know exactly which goPRO you have?
        iOS version would also help.

        Btw - does it work with the Shortcuts app if you select file type GPR?

        Thanks,
        Ignacio

        Hi Ignacio,

        I have a GoPro Hero 5. iOS version is 12.1.4.

        The Shortcuts app doesn’t seem to do anything for me, but this is my first time using it.

        Hi Andreas,

        Because of Apple’s iOS system restrictions, you have to import the raw files to the iOS camera roll first. Then you can import to LR CC Mobile from there.

        Hi Mike,

        This is the way I tried, but it always just imports the jpg and not the gpr file to the ipad.

        Thanks,
