Difficulty in importing the sample photos in Lightroom 5.5

Hello

I'm on my free trial version and started the video tutorials.

I unzipped the sample of files in a folder on the desktop named "start lightroom take pictures" and have tried to add them to a catalog. When I press "Import" appears in a different box to the tutorial - I put it as ' drive local c:\ - Add - to My catalogue "-under a box asking you"preset metadata"(set to zero) and below (empty) application"key words ". I clicked on 'desktop' as location and typed in the file asking to 'Add' to 'my catalog' but nothing happens.

Have tried different ways without result, any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much

Bob

Hi Jim,.

Thanks for your reply - it was a dialog box requesting the path to write to find import, rather than selecting them in 'the tree' on the left hand side.

I got tired of nowhere so I deleted Lightroom and tried a few alternative software options, made Lightroom was the best, re-installed and presto! Totally different and works very well. Must have been a problem with the original download.

Bought my copy today and very happy with it.

Thanks again,

Bob

  • Import the iCloud photos in Lightroom

    I have an iMac with Yosemite, my photo library is currently in Photos (ICloud). I don't want to move the library to Lightroom at the moment, but do not want to use to change individual pictures, but I don't see how to import a photo in Lightroom when the photo is not on my hard drive. I'm not techno of mind so please use simple language! Thank you

    Hi Carolina,.

    Lightroom is not designed to be a tool of "a single image at a time", it is designed to manage all your images, and he really excels at working together with many images. That said, you are free to import as little as a single image at a time in Lightroom, given two main conditions:

    1. you must have the original image to import into Lightroom.

    2. you must have a dedicated, don't change location to keep this image when you use Lightroom. If you move the image outside of Lightroom, the program will not know where you moved it.

    Lightroom is a complete work environment, it is not only an image editor. It ' their organizing photo and an organizer of workflow. The right way to approach Lightroom to get the expected benefit is to use it to manage all your images. I encourage you to look at some of the available Introduction videos to get a feel for the Lightroom workflow. It is not difficult, but it is different from the classic image editing programs.

    I hope this is a help,

  • How to import the Apple photo library in Lightroom 5?

    Hello

    I installed the perpetual version LR5 just before upgrading to OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 meant that my iPhotos disappeared and became the dumbed down version of the Photos instead.

    But I can't import library of Photos in Lightroom and I can't find anything on how to do if 'upgrade' of Photos has been more than a month ago now and I can't be only interested in

    What is Lightroom refuses to play with Apple?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi stuartm70056443

    I'm sorry, but there is no available plugin to import the photo library. At least not for the moment. The photos app is new, so there might be a plugin for photos in the future.

    For the moment I do it this way: export the photo of the photos as "unmodified original" app, and then import it in Lightroom.

    Kind regards

  • Importing and organizing photo files lightroom 5 for the first time. Clean photo hard drive files

    I have a trial version of lightroom 5 and would like one once and forall to restore order to my two drives hard and lightroom 5 collection. Some photos in lightroom 5 seem to have lost their way. Some are in folders of Windows 7 and others are 9 elements. I made backup copies of some records and would like to have a more systematic approach to save them in the future. I have a NAS (network access storage) device and an additional hard drive, I thought that it would be better to use my cell phone as main for my photo files working memory such that it would be faster to work with the NAS or external and then again everything down to the NAS and external. I consider that the main challenge group all files and as much as possible to preserve the sides I gave photos; I would like to eliminate duplicats. on both the hard drive and in lightroom. I watched one of the vidios of initial training on the 'library' of the adobe help section and the presenter talked about two ways to import photos. the first and I think that I will use in the future is to open lightroom and import from the SD directly rather than having the Windows 7 import, and then ask to lightroom to find them. If anyone Kow of an exhaustive enumeration of the instructions on how to clean up my hard drives that would be extremely useful? Peter

    I doubt that it is a list of instructions to wipe a hard drive, because each starting situation is different and your 'own' is probably very different than my "clean".

    But let's clear up a few things first. From your writings, it seems that you think that you have stored pictures in post-secondary education and photos stored in LR. This is not correct. None of these programs to store your photos. All your pictures are on your hard drive, in folders, somewhere.

    Regarding the missing photos in Lightroom, when you move or rename your photos and folders outside of the Lightroom, Lightroom doesn't know where they are and bring back them as being absent. To fix it, see: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm related to that, you don't want to 'clean up' things in Windows and also "clean things" upward in Lightroom. Instead, once you import photos into Lightroom, you must do all the managing photos in Lightroom, not Windows, otherwise you'll just create several missing files.

    Regarding duplicates, Lightroom has some tools to detect duplicates. He will try to prevent duplicates during the import, and if you are unable to import duplicates, you can use the "auto stack by Capture time" to try to find additional duplicates. But if those who do not work, then're it pretty much on your own.

    With regard to put photos on your laptop to work on them rather than on your external hard drive, I think you will find that this gives a fraction of a second speed improvement that you may even not notice, which will be offset by the time you spend moving somewhere else photos when finished. So just put the photos in their final destination on your external HD or a NAS file and don't bother moving them to the internal HD.

    Which leads to another point. Once you have done this 'cleaning', your workflow should be to put the photos in a place and then do not transfer! (Exception: not enough space on the disk or moving to another drive/computer) Make your life easier as possible.

    One last point: seriously consider using keywords and other metadata for the Organization, rather than move photos/files from here to there, to reach the organization. These tools in Lightroom will give you the possibility of organizing in a much more powerful and flexible organization and what you can do by moving the photos/files from here to there. (Note: If you want all the photos in a sort of centralized location because it meets your storage needs, can do that because it meets your storage needs.) In this collection of photos in a centralized location, using keywords and other metadata to achieve organization and research)

    Hi Peter,.

    If some how changed the order sorted, you can go back sorting to 'Added A order' in the toolbar.

    or, choose all the photos and click the view menu and sort to choose the sort order.

    I'm not an apple person.  I read on a few different forums that apple has changed what is called 'writing' in a recent update to apple.  You may need to find an Apple expert to show you how to make sure you are allowed to write to files or locations on your computer.

    How do I crop multiple images of the same photo in Lightroom 5 so I can export to Photomatix.

    If the area covered by the images is the same, I suggest the creation of the HDR image first using the full frame and then later cultures. If you prefer he do it your way, highlight images and turn on auto-sync. Then one of the images of cultures and will apply to all images highlight.

  • How to automatically import the modified photos in a nested folder changing?

    I have a master catalog for all my tens of thousands of photos. This catalog includes hundreds of organized digitally records. Each of them contains the RAW images from a memory card.

    I create a new, numbered folder for each download of pictures cards RAW memory of my cameras and then I use Lightroom to transfer the photos from my card reader. In this way, all new folders and their RAW photos appear in the Lightroom Catalog.

    Later, I edit some of these photos and place JPEG files edited in a subfolder under the folder source of the RAW image.

    The problem is that the nested subfolders and their modified photos not as displayed in the Lightroom library. To do this, I need to import their subfolder and then these photos into Lightroom. Sometimes, I forget. When this happens, the subfolder does not in the library. This is something serious because I have hundreds of these subfolders. If they do not automatically appear in the Lightroom library, I don't know what they and their altered photos exist.

    Is there a way to get the CC of Lightroom to automatically import these nested subfolders and photos modified breast? Do not forget that I have create a new source for each RAW/Lightroom Import download folder, and then a file edited JPEG folder nested under each of these RAW images, imported files.

    Thank you.

    First of all, allow me to answer your question, and then I would try to convince you not to do at all... I encourage you to read through my reasoning to avoid this type of workflow unless you really need a reason any.

    To import images:

    -You can import files in several ways - one is by dragging the files themselves to Lightroom icon in the task bar, which opens the import with the selected folders screen. Then, change the import type 'Add', what matters at the current location.

    -You can also click on "Import" and navigate through folders.

    -You could also (when you export JPGs) choose the option to import images into Lightroom.

    Why do it at all? When you edit your images in Lightroom, you already have the edited photo. Why would you want to export a jpg (probably an inferior copy) with all of the editing done in? Better to export the images jpg when you need to send somewhere (at a printing service, at a web site, in an e-mail message) and rely on the original image edited in Lightroom.

    In Lightroom, you can even use virtual copies to create multiple versions of your original image (with different treatments, sizes of harvest, etc.) all based on the unique original image. There is really no need to export copies and bring them back in Lightroom (with the exception of very few cases where the copy is required as part of a specific workflow). You can export a jpg from Lightroom anytime that you need based on the original.

    If you import jpg images, you will have two of everything, besides wasting disk space, it clutters things and makes finding and the heavier edition future.

  • Import Apple app photos in lightroom

    I use lightroom CC 2015.3 computer Macbook Pro El Capitan.

    In the previous update of lightroom, adobe added support for the library of Photos of Apple.  After a lot of complaints from the community on the new design of page import, adobe has returned to the old conception of import page. In doing so, it seems that adobe has also decreased support for the import of Photos Apple library.  Is this true?

    I just checked and discovered that Lightroom (2015 cc.3) remembers the link to my library of Photos apple when I imported using 2015 cc.2.  So I tried to use this link and Voila! It imports directly from the photo library.  However, if I try to access the photo library using the standard import dialog box, it does not.  It seems that adobe still has work to do.

  • Import the camera directly into Lightroom via USB

    I looked around this forum but could not find an answer to what I thought was a simple question.

    Using the Mavericks 10.9.5 and Lightroom 5.6

    I am trying to improve my workflow.

    I currently take two steps to get my photos in Lightroom:


    1. connect the camera via USB for Mac and Nikon Transfer allows you to import photos from my camera in a default folder on my Mac, I also put it to remove photos from my camera once completed.

    2. open Lightroom and import photos to the catalog, including moving them to the desired specific final destination folder.

    I know I could use a card reader but don't want to go down that road because it's a pain out the mem card and its replacement.

    Is it possible to reduce this to a single step using Lightroom.

    I tried implementing of Image Capture on my Mac to make Lightroom automatically open when a camera is connected, but the option is grayed out, which seems strange.

    If I have lightroom open, and then select the camera as source only get the option copy files not move them to a folder of destination of the machine photo so can't erase the memory of the device.

    I can't be the only person who wants to do this someone has a solution.

    After playing around a bit I have answered my own question.

    I discovered that Nikon Transfer has an option to automatically open another application, so affecting that Lightroom, I realized what I wanted.

  • Photos wants to import the same photos every time.

    Whenever I have connect the iPhone 6, most to the iMac, Photos opens and lists the pictures that have not yet been imported. However, many photos in the list are old photos that supposedly already have been imported. These same pictures appear in the import list every time. Their import * one-more-time * does not help. They reappear next time, too.

    How can I get pictures to stop posting the photos already imported? Or are these pictures this importing Photos cannot but is too shy to say it?

  • How do you manage and sequence the source photos in Lightroom module book?

    I recently switched to Aperture and Lightroom CC 2015 for Mac and I am putting together a photobook of 200 + photos.

    I've grouped these 200 + pictures in 50 subfolders contained in the library module to reflect the planned sequence or grouping of photos (for example 50 photobook pages).  My question is: what is the best way for this folder structure be reflected or available in ledger?  I have to laboriously create a 'collection' to match each subfolder Library?  If I combine 50 records in a single collection, or see 'All the Photos' in the film, then I lose the file groups and it the film becomes difficult to manage.  Can I restrict or filter the photos in the film to be only in a certain Library subfolder?  Maybe create a keyword for each group of photos and manage this way?  The desired sequence correspond to chronological or order of file name.

    So any advice on how to sequence a photobook with 200 + photos (which are grouped into subfolders of the 50 library) would be very appreciated.  Thank you!

    Thanks for the quick response.  The best solution I have found so far is to drag and drop the folders in the library into Collections, creating new Collections with the same photos as each folder.  In the book Module, you can control and simplify the photos appear in the crowded film by using filters. In this way, I end up having a Collection for each page or a few pages in the photo book.

  • After you import the image files into Lightroom, Lightroom does not show my folder hierarchy.

    Before I started using Lightroom, I got my pictures organized in a hierarchy of folders.

    My_imagesAA1
    A2
    BB1
    B2

    (The actual structure is deeper than this example a few levels.)

    I imported the A1, A2, B1, B2 files in Lightroom and gave them the keywords that reflect the folder structure.

    Now, when I look in Lightroom under folders, the structure is gone (it is still there on my drive). All I see is a list of A1, A2, B1, B2 files, so it is difficult to navigate to the folder that I want to work with.

    How can I get Lightroom to display the folder structure in that my images are in fact?

    Found a solution. Right click the folder and select "show parent folder.
    Repeat this operation several times until you see the folder structure you want.
