Can I import from a different catalog and keep my files?

I know that I can import all the pictures, but there should be a way to keep all the records?  I shot a leading group and you want to import with the names of people and pictures into the same folders. Anyone know if this is even possible?

I'm sure that file-> import from another catalog manages your Collections so

  • LR5: Import from an another catalog - cannot copy

    The LR4 on my desktop PC, I used to be able to select file-> import from another catalog, go to a catalog on a laptop computer in a network, select the dates/photos I want to import, and then choose to Copy the Photos to a new location and import. This as well copy the photos on the network to my office and add photos to my LR catalog - one-step office. Always worked great for me to return laptop computer pictures travel in my main office & catalog LR.

    Desktop and laptop recently upgraded to LR5. But now when I try this same procedure - the dialog box "import from a different catalog...". "no longer has the ability to Copy the Photos to a new location and import.  The only options are Add new pictures to the catalog without travel and import new photos.

    Of course I can work around this problem by doing it with 2-3 additional steps: I can import via the network as above, but choose to add new Photos to catalog Without Moving then later copy the files & find missing photos. Or export to a separate catalog and copy the text, etc.

    So, what happened to the option copy Photos to a new location and import in LR5? This option has been removed explicitly?  Or is there something else, I'm missing (path of file permissions, etc) which would cause the option not to appear? Thank you.

    Lightroom 5 64-bit for Windows, version 5.0

    Desktop: Windows 7 64-bit

    Laptop: 8 64-bit Windows

    OK - never mind. I think that I thought about it.

    LR seems to display only the option to copy Photos to a new location and import when you have a drive letter mapped to the root of the remote volume control where the images are stored (and where the remote network catalogue). Just by browsing the catalog via the UNC path is not working. Basically, you need to trick LR into thinking that the photos are on a local disk.

    I think that when it worked before, my office probably had a drive letter mapped permanently in my laptop drive root. This mapped drive seems to have disappeared during the upgrade of the-> Windows 8 Windows 7 laptop.  So no change in behavior between LR4 and LR5.

    In general, I find that this is the fastest & easiest way to return photos travel my laptop catalog in the catalog of my desk, when I get home from a trip.

    Select the e-mail messages of interest, and move messages to a folder on your Mac, Apple Mail.app calls these files 'mailboxes.    You can get to move through the menus (Messages > go) or you can alternate click on the selected messages and select move here.   You can create local folders (mailboxes) on your Mac (sub "on my Mac") according to the needs, and you can create so-called smart ball that allow you to have an easy way to save the searches that you use often, too.

  • Images not showing Up when importing from another photographer catalog

    I am an editor for a wedding photographer and I had this problem happens often, and I don't know what is the cause. I can see all the information behind the image, the ranking and if there is no previous editing on it, but the image itself is not displayed. The photographer sends on the catalogue, forecasting and intelligent preview. There are moments that all transfer perfectly and other times the images are not there.

    We tried to delete everything on both ends and start making sure that everything is done correctly, but it still happens. I tried to discuss with the support, but they have not been able to help. Whenever this happens, I lose money because I can't be their editor. We have both the most recent LR so it's not the question.

    How we are currently transferring Weddings:

    She takes is export as catalog with preview and intelligent preview. Once it's she will post the three files (catalogue, smart overview and overview) on Dropbox and sends them on. When I get it, I download the catalog of smart zip preview and preview of the zip. Once downloaded, I extract the prediction and intelligent preview. Can I go to file > import from another catalog... I click on the catalog file and select choose.  Sometimes it works and other times it does not.

    What we're doing wrong?

    OK, so after talking with Adobe on two different days, then post it here, I called Adobe and they set about 5 minutes. Here's what he once let him access my computer...

    (1) closed LR

    (2) he checked my monitor has been fixed by default sRGB as shown above.

    (3) then it went to the folder and change the smart preview to a different name by putting .old to the end

    (4) then instead of extracting the zip file it opens the zip file and copied the file and pasted with other files

    (5) opened LR and images where it!

  • I have Lightroom CC. I need to take collections of 3 different catalogs and combine in a slide show.

    It won't let me combine collections of different catalogs, or export each of the 3 collections in a new catalog.

    What would be the way to create a slideshow from three different catalogues/3 different collections... There is more 40 000 u/w images, so there should be several catalogs :-)

    40 000 images can be in a catalog in Lightroom.  There are people who have 100, in thousands of images in a single catalog.   The way to do is to "Export as Catalog" three different temporary files need to each main catalog catalogs.  Then 'Import as Catalog' two of these 3 temporary catalogs in the catalog remains temporary for your slide show.  You ran into the main reason to have a catalog.

  • How can I import an another LR catalog book?

    How do I import books and collections in an another LR catalog? The first catalog was just my catalogue of 'training', but some books worked like I wanted. If I want to import these books in a new catalog, where the images themselves already exist. How is that possible?

    Hi Klsteven,

    Please try the suggestions below:

    • Right-click on the book in the Collections Panel
    • Choose the Export Collection in the catalog.
    • Open a different catalog.
    • Go to the file menu > import from catalog.

    Let me know if this helps.

  • Can I import a folder under folders and complete at a time?

    I'm fairly new to LR and have TONS of files in a main folder on Vista.  These files have duplicate names, some have been taken with the digital camera of early gen as well as more recent files with my 40 d. But import each folder and subfolder 1 will both take 1 million years.  Here is basically what I want to do.

    (1) import all photos (probably about 6-8 thousand) at a time

    2) pass through these photos and mark thus get rid of the obviously crappy pictures that I'll never do anything with it, kill the dupes

    (3) tag Meta as much as I can

    4) export to a new foler

    All files are in jpg.  Day Memorial project well huh?

    Yes!

    First I place them in a single master folder, where you want your photos of LR to reside. The use of import in place, and "do not import duplicates" checked. This will make your job a little easier, hopefully.

  • Mode Lr library my records show the correct number of photos, but when I select the folder it show "is selected any phot" as if the foder is empty. This happens on most of the files not all. I then import from my C drive and all is well for a while, then

  • Import from SD card does not store the files on hard drive, but only references to SD card after import.

    Hi - for some reason, files of my card SD imported into lightroom, but referencing only the SD itself card and as files within the usual on my macintosh HD library, of course, when I eject the SD of my iMac, lightroom do not know where the files are more. I tried to delete LR and re-import but the same thing happened. I also saved the DCIM folder on desktop and tried to import from there, but again, it is important files directly to my address in LR, which means that I have to keep my SD card. I use LR for a while and this is the first time that this has happened. I imported the files to another SD card later and everything worked as it should. I really want to make sure that my original files are where they should be on the hard disk and in LR, so I can safely eject my card and not to lose my files. Can someone tell me how to go about this please?

    When you perform the import, you must select the COPY option, and under the Destination on the side right, you must select a location on one of your hard drives.

  • I can't import exported thunderbird either under their structured eml files mail messages

    I had a lot of problems with thunderbird and get rather annoyed now.

    So I exported my emails using the export option and chose the option of structured files. I have also exported in an eml file.

    I created a new profile and you want to import the messages I've exported but can't find anything. If I try to import that I can only import Outlook which is obsolete now.

    I found how to do what I want but have past issues:

    Is there a limit on the size of the messages and stored data?

    The size affects the operation (slow down) the program?

    Thank you for your quick response.

    Edit: I just remembered an important issue, I had:

    Having allowed TB to the automobile. install the outlook settings later, I've been unable to find anywhere to change settings such as passwords etc. There was only one mage manage settings and identities.

    Also, I have now found a false folder that cannot be deleted:
