Already edited import jpegs to Lightroom

Hello everyone, I have been photographed for 7 months and I have 4000 pictures. However, I'm new to Lightroom. I use the Photos app on my Mac, and I've been shooting jpeg for part 7 months. When I imported a jpeg file in the pictures of my camera card, I recorded on the original film and duplicated it. Then, I hid the original from the times, Collections, or even years. This meant that I was always working with a copy of the original photo. I've now imported my original film to Lightroom and plan on using Collections to organize my library (although not sure 100% on that yet). But what I do with all duplicate versions of my camera, of which 400 or more have been published? Import the Lightroom, or only those published? Where to store them in my workflow?

Thank you, Dan.

It is a problem with no definitive answer when migrating from other software.

You can do one of the following operations, it is up to you:

  • Import the revised versions of the 400 but not the originals and the remaining originals out of the 4000.
  • Import both original and edited
  • Import only the originals (and edit photos using LR)

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages of each method.

plan to use Collections to organize my library (although not sure 100% on that yet)

Use keywords, no collections, as your main tool of organization. Keywords can stay with the photo (if you wish) when you send the picture somewhere (e-mail, web), while collection information do not exist outside of Lightroom.

    LR 5.7 cannot find my files already edited because I accidentally deleted them. I have original and exported raw files edited JPEG images on an external hard drive. How to get back on LR the possibility to repeat already published photos complete with a history of editing? Thank you.

    Thank you Joe Maniac.  I deleted the original linked files on my internal hard drive which were dng files, but had copies of the raw files edited and edited the exported raw files (in JPEG format).  I don't have copies of dng files.  So what I ended up having to do was import the original raw files which then made a DNG copy on my internal hard drive.  The link has not changed, but now the files were back in the original track for missing photo alerts disappeared and I was able to see my change history.  The process has been painful, but without the dng, I had nothing to do a link to more if at least re-import them files has recreated the dng.  I don't know if there was an easier way, but it seemed that the problem did not the link deletion.  I use LR for a few years, but it was a rookie mistake, precipitated by my hard drive being so jammed up I ended up delete what I shouldn't.  I should have just moved the dng and the link to an external hard drive. Thanks again.

  • How can I import jpeg images and convert to dng in my lightroom 5.7?

    I need to convert jpeg images to DNG for some controls. I am unable to do it in the clouds, but I can't in 5.7 on another computer.  Help?  Is it just a matter of adjustment?

    Yes, as suggested by Hal, import images into Lightroom, and then convert them to DNG from the library Module.

    Select image > click library in the Menu bar > Photo to convert to DNG.

  • Lightroom CC Trying ├a import 'New' Photos and they are greyed out and say that they have already been imported, how to make their importation?

    Upgraded to Lightroom CC a few months ago and have had major problems with importation, never had any problems before. Since the upgrade I import a map is fine, next card says pictures have already been imported and that they are grayed out. I know for a fact that I matter not yet. So frustrating! Someone please help! I even turned off the 'don't do not import suspected duplicates' box and again, it will not let add me or COPY. I will attach a screenshot.Screen Shot 2015-12-05 at 9.34.04 PM.png

    Yes, I went straight from my card. I always did it that way. Not until the upgrade did I start having issues. I ended up having to download hard disk, rename and then import it. Quite unfortunate that they changed this in the upgrade, it was nice not having to move in all directions and could go straight to LR. Thank you very much for the help!

  • 5.1 Lightroom ceased to import JPEGs of iPhone. The iphone and the images will be displayed, but import said that they cannot be read. This has just begun. Even the phone, IOS and the OS.

    5.1 Lightroom ceased to import JPEGs of iPhone. The iphone and the images will be displayed, but import said that they cannot be read. This has just begun. Even the phone, IOS and the OS.

    The message 'could not be read' indicates you do not have WRITE permission on the destination folder. So, here's what you need to do

    1. The Lightroom Import dialog box, go to the Destination section to the right and make a note of the specified folder.
    2. Change the folder to something else; OR in your operating system, change the permissions on this specific file WRITE permission.
  • Could not import RAW files or jpeg in Lightroom 6

    I deleted the old version of Lightroom, as I had problems to import photos.  However, he must now be worse after downloading Lightroom 6. I can't import anything into Lightroom at all! Here are the error messages I receive. Can anyone help? I looked everywhere on this site but nothing of all the work of other suggestion (by dragging photos into Lightroom and changing permissions, etc.). I downloaded 6 Lightroom on my MacBook which has OS X Version 10.9.5. The first image is when I tried to import from my memory card. The second is when I tried to import the RAW files from my Dropbox account - they all files are "grayed out on ' so I can't import them. I'd appreciate really any advice on how to solve this problem!

    I'm not a MAC person, but I don't think you want to import into System\Library.

    You want to select a folder somewhere that is not in the directory system, but a directory that is designed for users to actually put their files, as in the Photos, Documents or an external HD.

  • Help with the edition of Raw in Lightroom 3.6

    Hi all!

    I'm new to the forum and also to use lightroom. I need assistance with editing my RAW files. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and I just imported the files in lightroom. He didn't show me for importing jpeg files, so I imported the RAW files, I needed only. After editing, I realized he said CR2 + JPEG. Which means that the two files have been imported but combied into one. Now I want to fundamentally change my RAW files only. Does this mean that I edited a jpeg or a mixture of the two files? How to change only the RAW file?

    If my image says CR2 + JPEG, means that it is not a pure RAW file and the Assembly would affect the image quality?

    I'd really appreciate some help!

    Both imported, it tells you only the raw file. Never. What you see and what you change will be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file if move you or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You may safely delete the JPG and Lightroom doesn't is complaint not - probably would even notice.

    We prefer that you can set which causes the jpg to import as separate images. Then, you would be able to see the two of them and edit them separately. This preference will not take effect on images that are already in the catalog, but will have an impact on all future imports.

  • PSD in lightroom, edited in lightroom. When the changed data ('Edit Original'), returns to lightroom with original lightroom edits lost

    Hello

    It is a change, I've noticed since the upgrade to 2015 CC LR and PS 2015.

    My process usually looks like this:

    1) modify the RAW in lightroom (leave uncropped image)

    (2) with LR edits done, edit RAW file externally in Photohop (cloning, patching, etc.).

    (3) save PS edit, back to Lightroom to find new PSD alongside old RAW, with PS changes.

    (4) new DSP harvest at the end

    (5) fact

    Every now and then, I noticed that I forgot to do something in photoshop and bring back the PSD in the PS, choose when you are prompted to "modify the Original.

    Before the update LR and PS to the CC 2015 versions, I'd be able to do everything I wanted the PSD in PS, and when I got back to lightroom, LR would have kept the culture I had done in the PSD before resuming in photoshop (so I wouldn't have to redo a culture I can done in the PSD in step 4 above).

    Lately, since I've upgraded LR and PS to CC2015 I noticed that when I take a PSD already edited out of LR in the PS, he returned with the new PS made adjustments but the harvest of LR (step 4) are all lost, and I need to redo any cropping, I could have done.

    Is this a bug? Is it a setting I need to change? This is a feature that was simply lost in the latest versions of PS/LR?

    Any help?

    Thanks in advance

    I think I know what is different with my configuration of LR and what is the cause of the problem. I don't have 'include develop settings in metadata in JPEG and TIFF, PNG, PSD files"checked in the settings of my catalog? Do you have?

    I just tested this with "Including developing parameters in the metadata in JPEG, TIFF, PNG and PSD files" checked. Using "Manual" "save metadata to file" ("Automatically write changes into XMP" unchecked), I lose my LR changes when back and forth if I have not updated the metadata with the latest development changes. LR resembles returned PS 'Original Edition' file and bed in XMP changes rather than changes in the catalog. Even when you use "Automatically write changes into XMP" it mast be a delay in LR update metadata file with the latest changes to LR.

    If I do the new changes in LR to 'Edit in PS' TIFF and then try to do another edition in PS > edit the Original I get the following message below. If I choose "Settings Overwrite" TIFF opens in PS without the LR settings as expected. When the file is saved in the PS and returned to LR LR changes are applied.

    If you do not see the message below check "reset all warning dialog boxes" in LR preferences > general tab. It should be shaded below when all warnings are activated.

  • 5.6 Import dialog box Lightroom empty on Win 8

    Hello

    In recent weeks I have problems with the import LR5.6 window unable to see all the files of importation on removable card, camera, local drive or network drive. If I drag and drop files from Explorer to lightroom opens the import dialog box, but the screen import empty

    License CC 64-bit of Windows 8.

    Problems arose initially after update through CC, but I have since tried

    1. new catalog

    2 reinstall 5.6

    3. Uninstall and go back to 5.4

    All this same problem - now reinstalled 5.6 without success and do not think it was a problem to update.

    I'm not aware of any LR option that limits the types of files in the import dialog box

    I'm not aware of other changes I made which changes file etc. - associations there was some automatic updates of windows.

    There is no problem viewing / opening files with Explorer windows or photoshop etc and all of the images currently in my catalog are thin and editable in LR - it's just the import dialog which is empty

    It does not help with workflow!

    Any ideas would be great

    As in the article below, you need to update your Lightroom to the latest version and in your case, you have already done this.

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Lightroom/KB/import-dialog-blank-Lightroom-5.html

    I suggest you to reset preferences in Lightroom and then check out the same thing.

    Did you update to 8.1 Win? If this is not the case, install the update 8.1 Win and try the same.

    Hope that helps!

  • Photos on my Flickr account can be downloaded and imported directly into Lightroom?

    Photos on my Flickr account can be downloaded and imported directly into Lightroom?

    You can download photos from Flickr on your hard disk, and then import those in LR (a two-step process).

    If you want to then maintain the relationship between these photos in your catalog and photos on Flickr, you can use this third-party Flickr plugin. It is a little more complex to implement than the Flickr edition built-in service for LR, but she is more capable and more reliable.

    When I click on import, he said, LIghtroom does not... I can't import the photos. I open and close lightroom multiple times, sometimes this does not work for hours.

    Hi thebabywhisperer,

    If you use Lightroom 6, then try to disable the graphic processor of Lightroom preferences.

    Open Lightroom

    Go to Lightroom preferences in the Edit menu

    Click the performance tab

    Deselect the graphics processor

    Restart Lightroom

    Let us know if that helps.

    Kind regards

  • Photos imported, but do not arise in the new folder.  Cannot re-import, as LR said that they have already been imported.

    LR6, Win10.  The photos that have been imported do not show upward in the destination folder.  Folder had been created within LR.  Deleted the folder in LR and re-created. Tried to import again, but can not, as LR said that they have already been imported.  Now the pictures do not exist on my PC, by searching via the Win10 File Explorer.  How to re-import these photos?  I still have them on the external hard drive, I tried to import original.

    Most likely, you accidentally imported the photo to a different folder than the one you wanted.

    Because you see the photo in "Previous import", I think you'd have to reconnect the external hard drive, then move (drag / move, entirely in Lightroom) or photos to the desired folder.

  • Raw and jpeg in Lightroom 5 Fuji

    This is probably a dumb question with an easy answer, but I am shooting Raw and Jpeg on my Fuji XPro-1 and treatment by LightRoom 5. Most of the time the jpeg gives me everything I need, but sometimes I need the flexibility of a raw, so the jpeg/raw file. I thought that LightRoom would show both me and give me the choice, but when I go to import only RAW format files see the place. Is it possible to access the jpeg or raw when importing?

    In the Lightroom preferences, there is an option to process JPEG images next to raw in the form of separate images files. Then you should check this option (that is, make it active) Lightroom will import JPEG format so much raw images, and they will be next to each other.

  • Importing photos with Lightroom (5.3) changes in Photoshop CS5

    I've recently upgraded to Lightroom 5.3 since the 5.2 version.  Now, I can't import photos with Lightroom edited in Photosop CS5.  It wasn't a problem in the previous version.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks, I d/load the file and tested.

    Everything works as expected for me, so there's something wrong with your implementation.

    Try to remove the file from'd rather with Lr closed and restarted. Preferences can get damaged a cause all types of unusual problems.

  • How can I avoid importing video in Lightroom CC?

    Hi all

    I use Lightroom CC on my iMac to catalog my photos, a task I find really perfect for Lightroom.

    However, I also use my DSLR for shooting video´s, I have Edit with Final Cut Pro. Lightroom is _not_ a part of the workflow import/editing video, so I really don't want Lightroom for all videos in addition to all my pictures from imports.

    My question is:

    How can I setup Lightroom so that it is no longer import videos?

    My current workflow is tedious, and really no one I love: I import everything in Lightroom and then manually delete all video´s.

    Your help is appreciated kindly!

    LR is not particularly good at separating the types of individual files in the import window. However, some of the third-party plugins generally provide the type of filtering require you. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly which ones do, but you can try this one Rob Cole as starter, http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/ImporterLrPlugin/ , or http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/OttomanicImporterLrPlugin/
