I don’t know why that on this version LIGHTROOM 3 I cannot shoot tethered anymore.Not like the version,its easy to configure.And by the way,when you play slideshow,LIGHTROOM 2 is better than ver 3,because in version 3 you can only play one music.

If you own a Nikon you should check out Tether Pro. At $50 it’s fairly inexpensive and you can shoot tethered, make groups, rate images, display images, save jobs and load jobs and much more. Support is slow but I’ve gotten it to work on XP, Vista (albeit not perfectly), and Windows 7. Use the trial to make sure it works for your system before you shell out your hard earned cash

Give Sofortbild a try. Works pretty good and faster than Mountain Storm.

Is LR3 going to have a built in option for shooting in tether mode? We really need it in this version.

Just Google MountainStorm Lightroom Tether and the site will come up. The link provided is not good.

I too have recently written an article on how to tethered shoot with Lightroom and my Canon 40D, as I needed to do it for an upcoming job.

Original article is here :http://www.11thstudio.com/blogs/all-posts/tethered-shooting-with-lightroom-and-canon-40d/

Hope that helps someone!
Thanks,
Chris

Everything is fine except that stupid import dialog box popping up in LR for every single photo I take. I don’t see anything to turn that off. I turned off the option to automatically import when a card is inserted but that was the closest thing I could find. HELP!

I found a way to not only shoot tethered with a Nikon and a Mac but also to directly import the images over the network to Lightroom on another Mac using Automator folder action:

So if you work in the studio with a laptop and want to see the images imported into your Lightroom database on your desktopcomputer based in the office, this works like a charm and it makes you look very Pro!!
Hope this helps.

I’ve been shooting using Breeze Systems’ DSLR Remote Pro, tethered to my Canon 20D (yep, I could do with an upgrade). I also have it set up so that it saves the image to my lightroom “watched” folder (see LR help for setting up autoimport). This way, when I shoot thru DSLR Remote Pro the image is also automatically imported into my lightroom library. I have the develop module opened so that I can quickly perform an edit if need be. The last shot taken appears which is very convenient. This has automated my workflow so much. I also use this system for teaching. I connect my computer to a digital data projector and can shoot directly to the screen and edit. If you know the size of the LCD on a Canon Eos 20D then you’ll understand my need for this. Obviously, this system is impractical for anything other than fixed location shooting but that’s exactly when this set up shines.

I’ve also just bought 2x5m active extension usb cables to give me more room around the classroom but I would welcome any links or suggestions to a wireless transfer from camera to pc.
