Can not import images grayed out-

Have seen other threads on this, but no answers. Superb. This problem makes completely useless Lightroom.

I click on a folder, see all of the images, then select "import".

Has worked once, never again.

I select a folder of images in the same subdirectory as the one that I sucessfully imported, but all the images are dimmed.

Why?

Usually, we see that, when LR believes that the images are already imported. Are you sure that your catalog does not already include them? On my PC, when I move the cursor over one of these images grayed out, I get a ToolTip that explains (among other things) that "this photo has already been imported. Also if you change the selection in the upper part of the grid of the importation of "all photos" dialog box to "new photos", if the thumbnail grid would then become empty, that's your explanation. LR think not that these new images.

I think that the option "don't import suspected duplicates" - which is enabled by default - rejection of images that appear to be simple extra renames also of the same original camera - due to show the same original capture file name in the EXIF metadata.

But for "don't import suspected duplicates" to activate it, be images which are these those new would be duplicates of. I would advise so check first for any filter LR, or other selective display that might be currently you can't see these if they are in LR.

Import of files repeatedly is probably not the answer; Once should be enough AFAICT.

    It seems that Firefox has downloaded a document or image on the desktop. On the top bar, there is an icon - small arrow pointing down on a bar. When I click on than it does appear a history of my downloads (documents, photos, PDF files, etc...) NO software downloads). There seems to be many previous downloads in this window, they appear to be done, but NOT completed and are just hanging there in never never land. By clicking on the background element (3 articles), it opens a window called library. The second options left is downloading. These instructions tell you to click on the 'Clear downloads' on the top (next to organize) bar and it will delete all downloads. However, this clear downloads is gray. It seems there is no other means to clear this list. Any help would be appreciated...

  • I can not import PSD file to After effect in the form of composition.

    I can not import PSD file to After effect in the form of composition.

    When I try to import the PSD file according to the effect CC (2015) as a composition, AE will stop responding and then I have to close and restart the application.

    After effect CS6 works very well, but AE CC does not not and will close while I try to import the PSD file as a composition.

    can anyone help?

    Hi good morning all.

    I finally found what causes this problem.

    That I've added the link of 3ds max compositor (CEAP) to my folder plugin effects Jefferson, sequelae stops responding to PSD (import in the form of layers as a model) files.

    then, after the removal of this file (CEAP) every thing change to normal mode.

    now the question is only how to use 3ds max scene after effects without this headache.

    Thanks for everyone.

  • Import Menu grayed out

    Hello - I am trying to import pictures from a synology NAS.  Lightroom (latest version on a Mac 10.11.5 2015.6) keeps telling me that he could not move files, even if I can copy and move them using the finder.

    So when I try to do it again, "Import pictures and video" menu item is grayed out.  I couldn't even add a photo stored locally if I wanted to.

    The only way to try reimport must restart Lightroom.  What I am doing wrong?

    There are a lot of problems reported Synology import with Mac computers. I suggest you search in the forum to find whatever solutions exist.

  • Can I import images that can then be used to customize the appearance of my files?

    I would like to be able to really customize the way in which my look through my files. But the icons in the properties, customize, change the icon section, are not suitable.

    So I can import images from the internet that can serve it really customize how my look through my files, and if so how do I?

    I am aware of how to import images from the internet, but do not know how to use then as an image to icon for my records.

    Yes, in the change icon customize navigate to the location of your .ico files. Several images of downloadable icons are .gif, .jpg, .png, files etc you will need to convert the .ico files.

  • Can I import images of DVD on my HARD drive through Bridge (I have Win 7

    Hello

    I use Win 7 (and also to have bridge on Mac OS X). I would like to import images of DVD on my HDD via Adobe Bridge. But I can't find the option to import DVDs in bridge (whether in Windows 7 or Mac). My DVD player on my Win machine is external, so that I have the regular internal DVD on my Macbook Pro drive. I'm trying to import pictures from DVD to HDD via Bridge. Pass the first round selection/reject by the bridge and then bring them to LR for more changes.

    I copy them now the DVD drive in a USB key. And then using the dialog box import Bridge (when I plug the USB again) copy on my HARD drive. I'm doing this because I need to batch rename my files, add metadata and keywords on import. These additions will not allow the function of simple copy/move and so I have to resort to this workaround from USB DVD on the HARD drive (across bridge). If I can import directly from DVD via Bridge, it will save me some time.

    Looking forward help pls.

    THX,

    Chinmoy

    I feel a bit silly now. For 2 days, I struggled and then posted my Q.

    After posting the Q, I thought about it in about 15 minutes.

    Insert the DVD.

    BR open

    Navigate to DVD

    Select all images

    Right-click - Batch Rename

    Choose the Destination path and the new file name.

    And go!

    If you have had the same problem, I did, hope this helps.

  • Lightroom 3 does not import images with all the parameters used in camera

    I just upgraded to lr3 and import pictures from my Nikon D5000 in RAW format.

    I shot a bunch of images in monochrome mode on my camera with my contrast, sharpness and other parameters adjusted to my liking.  When I import into lightroom on the thumbnails, they seem to be that I shot them in black and white.  But if I click on the image in develop it converts in color and seems to remove my settings changes I had made in my camera.   I tried to click on black and white and it converts into a monochrome pure with any of my settings or the other.

    How can I tell lightroom to import images as-is and not change them unless I specifically choose changes to develop?

    Thanks for any help.

    You kind of mutilated the terms, but if the camcorder needs a firewire IEEE 1394, your PC cable card cannot accommodate a.  There may be some devices that claim to USB conversions, but normally, they will not work with a camcorder.  It seems that another PC is going to be necessary or another camera.

  • ERROR CODE 604, will not import images after the recent upgrade from trial version free of subscription.

    HI, I'm getting an error code 604 when I try to import images, it comes up with the following message, some import operations were not made, the following files were not imported because they could be read... items 1-100 etc.

    I import the raw files from my card, it's no different than when I imported on the free trial version, but now I've updated it wont let me import, everything else seems to work very well with the catalogue, export etc.  Please help me as soon as possible, if someone had this problem?

    Hi thank you 99jon, you're perfectly right, it's to do with permissions and thanks for putting me on the right track to fix, the destination had for some strange reason changed during the upgrade, so raw files went to a file on the hard drive which has permissions rather than the images where he used to go (until the upgrade).  If anyone has this error code 604, please look to see where the images are current, is not always easy to say right away, I saw he entered the hard drive and initially assumed that it would go into pictures where it is before the upgrade, it would be useful that adobe has this error code with an explanation of what this means on their list of troubleshooting , but could not find any information anywhere.  It caused me a lot of delays with hundreds of images that I work on different maturities, but thank God its fixed, very happy
