Fewer steps to move has already imported pictures to the desktop folder in the LR catalog.

I'm sure this has been asked and I just use a terminology inappropriate then forgive me.  I'm trying to get a group of imported pictures that currently link to a folder on the desktop in my LR catalog instead.

I use a Mac.

Thank you for your help.

Sure.  Yes, I imported the photos in lightroom, but they were not copied to the LR making catalog. I can not use the term 'catalogue' correctly. I am referring to the designated folder system where LR stores all of my original images.  I have used inadvertently the function 'Add' during their import?

Photos imported into Lightroom are indeed in the Lightroom Catalog. There's no other way.

If you used the option Add instead of the COPY option, you would have to do one of the following values (only one, not both of them or all three):

  1. Move photos to the desired inside Lightroom (select all the pictures, then drag them to the desired folder, everything is done entirely in Lightroom). OR
  2. Move the pictures in your operating system to the folder desired; Then, you will find that each photo in Lightroom has an exclamation point icon; Click on the exclamation point icon, and then select the new folder (see these instructions: How to find missing pictures in Photoshop Lightroom ). OR
  3. remove photos from Lightroom (this will remove also publishes, metadata, collections, etc.) and then import them using COPY

I prefer option 2, but option 3 is actually easiest if you have not yet completed all the work on photos.

    If you had not reinstalled Vista, we helped you recover the product key of Vista for running old, Vista activated using specific programs.

    But, as you have wiped the hard and reinstall Vista, we will not help you recover the product key.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  • How can I remove photos from my iPhone that were already imported pictures?

    Hi all

    The camera on my iPhone now has 2000 + photos on it which have already been imported. photos (not iPhoto). At least I am sure that I imported the. Photos knows that they have been imported, but I see no easy way to just delete the photos that have already been imported. What should do?

    I ran a test, import of some of them and by checking the box "delete after importing", and it was successfully deleted photos off the phone. BUT each of the imports is now duplicated in my photo library. What a drag! I don't want to have to go manually by the bias of 2000 + photos, manually remove duplicates when Photos already know that they were already imported at first.

    In iPhoto, you can plug in your phone, import your photos but not the remove immediately after the import, and the next time you connect your phone, iPhoto would say "XX pictures have already been imported. You want to remove them? "It's ideal for cautious people who wanted to verify that the photos had successfully transferred before deleting.

    Any help? Is there something that I am missing in Photos?

    Thank you. -Josh

    You can selectively remove from your phone with the Image Capture (in the Applications folder).

  • Cannot import pictures using the USB cable

    I have a Canon 5 d Mark III and LR 4.3. I normally import pictures using a card reader see However, I'm on vacation and have only the USB cable that connects the camera to my Macbook Pro. I used it successfully in the past to import photos, but I am now getting the following error:

    I get this if I select one or more photos (there are about 195 on the map right now).

    Any ideas?

    Often, this error message means that LR cannot write the file to the location you're trying to move/copy it to, usually because your permissions to the folder or drive do not allow writing. Also, make sure that you have property ot the disk/folder.

    See if you can download the files to a folder on the desktop with the Finder or the transfer of images and try importing from there in the library.  If that works reformat the memory card in the camera, take a few test shots and try to re-import from there.

  • Put pictures in the LR catalog without copy?

    How can I put photos into the Lightroom Catalog, so that I can edit and organize them, without copying all the photos? I don't really want to have pictures on my hard drive as well as another additional copy of the same photo in the LR catalog. When I tried to import the photos my only options were to "move" or "copy" photos. I don't want to do either, I want to be able to 'see' and access, as well as their changes?

    Thank you

    If you point to the folder that contains the pictures on your hard disk, the Add option should be available. It's not in the cards or the camera import.

  • Missing labels and pictures in the old catalog after creating a new catalog.

    I created a new catalog for pictures of the new year.  I use the same Adobe version 8 and the computer as before.  Then I imported the photos to the new catalog and labeled them.  I deleted all the titles tags keywords I is no longer necessary in the new catalogue.  However, I went to my old corset from last year today only to find 1: all the photos containing the tag under titles I deleted in the new catalogue are not there and 2:all tags and keywords are missing from the photos that are always there,  So basically, there's nothing the tag and most of the photos is absent from photoshop! How can I get back them?

    Thank you

    If the files are identical, they have reconnected.

    From now on, all I can suggest is delete the last batch import of files you imported earlier. And try to manually reconnect with their counterparts of the files on the disk. I know its annoying, but it's the only option left IMO.

    It is always advisable to take a backup of the catalog from time to time to avoid such situations.

    Thank you

  • Continues to forget photos it has already imported some images

    He is a fairly regular event.  I looked for a discussion that covers it, and if I missed it, apologies. I have found none.  Some images that I feel are either HDR images or possibly another feature I haven't identified, appear almost everytime I plug my iPhone 6 (fully updated) on my iMac.  I've been manually delete them after you import Photos, but it's boring and all simply, it shouldn't happen. Most of these problem photos was that I saved text messages, that is, they have been taken by someone else on an iPhone and sent a text message to me. I found that a few images very, very old stopped appearing as 'new '.  The problem currently extends to images taken in January 2016 (4-5 months).  Old images that one used to behave this way decided to leave appear as "new".  Apple, if you're reading this, please assign someone to look into the issue. If anyone has a way to get it to stop, please speak.  Thank you.
