Importing D7100 raw files into Lightroom

My DIY raw profile for the D7100 sadly did not work.  However, I found a workaround.

The workaround is to use a raw metadata editor to change the metadata to say that it is from the D5200.  Then you can import it into LR4 (so far without issues).  I used a program called Exif Pilot to edit the metadata.  Not sure if it is spyware-free so please do you due diligence before you install it.

UPDATE: I've now been using exiftool.  Instructions here: http://betterfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2013/03/nikon-d7100-tips.html

  1. Thanks for the tip.

    Reading that you tried to build a profile I wonder if you have a cc24 shot with D7100.
    If you could share it, it would be useful for building a color profile for Rawtherapee. It will be better than using the one from D5200 which looks a bit off on D7100 raw files.
