• IMPORT EXISTING 'Photo library'

  LightroomCC just purchased/installed on Mac with the latest version of OSX El Capitan. I already have an existing 'Photo' library on my folder on the drive hard 'photos '.

  I need to 'import' these pictures in the Lr catalog but the file > plugin route does not work as my library's picture not iPhoto!

  Tried to use the import pane, followed by player > user > pictures but the library does not appear in the list of content in the images, even if it is there through the Finder. There is, as I can still use it.

  I just want to fill the catalogue with existing photographs.

  Any thoughts?

  I'm not a geek, but used the opening for many years.

  You mean Photos Apple (S at the end).

  You must copy, maybe move, the Masters folder in the package folder Photos Library.library to another folder on your hard drive. Then you can import them into LR.

  None of the changes you have made in Photos Apple will be included, but at least you'll have your images in a program that does not take full control of their.

  To access this folder of masters, you will need to right-click on this package of library and select to display the contents of the package. It will then develop in a few other cases being the masters record. Just copy/move it to another folder you create on your drive.

• Import from Photo Library Organizer

  I can't understand how to make the elements Organizer to import a photo in the library on the Mac.  It has an icon to download from iPhoto but iPhoto is no longer used on OX El capita and this library was merged into the picture.

  I have El Capitan on an iMac and the PSE 13. I find by default when you insert an SD card in your camera to a Mac, a 'Photos' window opens and asks if you want to download your photos on Photos. Simply, I clicked on the red dot to close the screen. I then had an SD card icon on my desktop. I opened the SD card icon, highlighted in the photos I wanted and dragged into my own images to the folder on my desktop (the folder resides in the Finder). From there, you can import in PSE as you want using the import PSE icon on the upper left of the Organizer window or you can open photos selectively in the editor and organizer too.

• Previous import to new library of Photos

  Good evening everyone,

  I've had my Macbook Pro 4 years now and I never formatted, so when the pictures came out he asked me to import iPhotos library of Photos and there is no problem at all. Recently, given that my hard drive was close to death, I manually supported both iPhoto and photo library, just to make sure I had everything. Then I went and installed El Capitan on my new SSD, I put in my macbook.

  Now I am facing this problem: Photos already and automatically imported some photos from my photo streaming from my iPhone. Now I would like to import the library I had on my previous operating system with my old photos. Is this possible? How can I do? Can I import the photo library, or even the iPhoto library? I hope that wasn't confusing.

  I ask because I don't want you bumble, that's why I'm here.

  Thank you very much

• 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

• How to restore a photo library using iCloud on a MacBook?

  I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

  I used historically Time Machine to backup and restore my library when my photo library migration to another laptop.  However, I now do not have a backup Time Machine full of my library because the library is too large to store locally.  So now, I'm opting for storing it on iCloud to Apple servers using their 'optimize' Photos option.  Now, if I replace my laptop, I would be sure that as transparent as Time Machine restore solution is to obtain and import the Photo library (for example, the index of all my photos, events / files, location tags, face tags, etc.) on my new laptop directly from iCloud.

  Enjoy any clarity in iCloud library restore capabilities!

  I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

  You can create an empty photo library on your new Mac, and then enable iCloud photo library for this new library of Photos.  The library will download icloud, and most of the elements will be restored.

  But iCloud is not a backup. It's a centralized storage to keep all libraries updated on all your devices.

  There are some things that will not be restored to iCloud, for example the albums faces or your projects.

  This document describes how a library will be uploaded to iCloud to another Mac:

  Use iCloud photo library on several Mac - Apple Support computers and Photos

  After have connected you, these items appear in the Photos on your Mac app:

  • All photos and original videos
  • All folders and albums
  • Smart albums
  • Keywords
  • Keywords from searches of the tile faces
  • Key photo selections

  These items are available only on the Mac where you created the:

  • Books, cards and calendars
  • Slideshows
  • Keyword shortcuts
  • Unused keywords
  • Last album imported (this album contains photos you have imported recently on a specific Mac)
  • Facing tiles and faces of the data

  I is not entirely based on iCloud as a backup of your photos, but sometimes create a copy of your photo library on an external drive. In this way, you can restore your library, even if you are having problems with the internet connection, and it will be faster.

• iMovie and photo library

  How can I open my of Foto-photoslibrary in iMovie (10.2.2 It is gray and I cannot import into iMovie.

  You do not import the photo library in iMovie. iMovie automatically displays the photo library. When you say that it is grey, I assume you mean in the preferences of Photos. This means that it is the library system, which is what you want. If you don't see the photo library in the library list in iMovie try opening the pictures before you launch iMovie.

  I use a PC and I used LR3. I'm a newcomer to LR, so patient with me! My problem is related to the import function.

  I have a photo library on an external hard drive. I've slowly been import previews of the photos selected from the library in my catalog, adding them during the import process - well. But now, I hit a problem. Another folder in my library contains several subfolders, each containing a number of photos (a mixture of RAW steals (naves) and jpg). I was importing found in my catalog each Subfile in turn, using the Add function, usually of the jpgs only from each Subfile. It works fine, until I reached a particular Subfile. For some reason when I try to import from it and select the secondary file as a Source, only the RAW (NEF) images appear in the preview pane (sorry, forgot the correct term for it!). I know that jpg files are in this auxiliary file on the external hard drive, because when I view its content in Windows, they are all there. But try as I can (choose the file under source, select the folder parent as a source, try to copy or move them, instead of adding them), nothing seems to work. Since they do not appear in the preview pane, I can't import them. It does appear that this a Subfile where the problem exists, but I don't see anything that is different from the others (names of files under all use the same structure - yyyy-mm-dd_custom name, and pictures in all subfolders are adopting the same denomination structure too - yyyy-mm-dd_sequential number_custom name.) NAVE/JPG. So what I am doing wrong? Any ideas please.

  It is possible that the images in this particular subfolder were taken in your camera in RAW + JPEG.  If so, you will need to go to preferences under the general tab and make sure the box "processing JPEG files files next to raw as separate photos" is checked.

  

  However, assuming that this is the case, there is really no reason to import the JPEG file if you already have the RAW file.

• Cannot transfer iPhoto Photo Library - unless the external is plugged.

  Hello

  Before I got my new Macbook Pro today, I copied my iPhoto library on my external hard drive. This library will be important and open the pictures, the new application, ONLY if the external hard drive is plugged - I even tried to copy the old library, iPhoto to my office and open Photos manually, but it will not be read. Is what it means I need to copy my iPhoto images one by one in the new application Photos?

  Thank you!

  I should add here that, once the hard drive is disconnected and I try to open the old library still in Photos, he search the hard drive and is unable to find it. It seems that I can't fix my iPhoto library original as my default photo library.

• move el capitan photo library app on external hard drive

  Question:

  How to move to El Capitan new library of the 'Photo' app on an external drive?

  The picture of El Capitan App behaves like a virus - it takes my computer whenever I plug a phone, etc.

  There seems to be no preference to choose which application opens to plug in a device, and iPhoto failed to do not open.

  (And selecting the cloud for storage is similar to trust someone else to keep forever, hundreds of concerts my confidential and important data.) "If they were to lose my credit card information, that would be correct.)

  I will not "auto-save" my photos on my drive internally, and will not allow 'Photo' me to select one different folder other than the one they chose for me on my internal drive. Whenever I select a folder from the external hard drive in the preferences, it is default to the original destination in the internal drive.

  Most discussions on the application of 'Photo' of Apple are extremely difficult to find because the results of a search of the generic name of there new beacon 'Photo' app display the results of all things by the word 'photo' in them. Go to Apple support with the name of their application as the search keyword: "photo".

  It seems that the fellows who designed Windows 8 have been able to find a job at Apple. I think it may be easier to move a photo library of Windows 8 at the library 'Photos' El Capitan that moving the iPhotos library.

  I don't remember thinking iPhoto needed to be redesigned. Simply not take 20 minutes for the Interior to appear cryptic images. And maybe be able to import large files of k 4, without crashing on every attempt.

  PLEASE SEE THE APP "FUNBOX" BEFORE THE NEXT UPDATE OF 'PHOTO '!

  in this soft - 128 GB iPhone photos appear in less than a minute, and you have the ability to save large images videos 4 k, voice memos, etc. simply by dragging them to the location desired. The good old MAC intuitive way that attracted us to Apple in the first place.

  Perhaps Apple simply tries to leave the free App company.

  RULE NO. 1:

  Applications need to be improved - not made obsolete!

  One Solution: rename the new 'photo' application in iPhoto. (I'm a genius!)

  How to move to El Capitan new library of the 'Photo' app on an external drive?

  Select it in the image folder and drag the EHD.  Once there open to confirm a successful move and then remove the pictures folder.

  There seems to be no preference to choose which application opens to plug in a device, and iPhoto failed to do not open.

  With the trendy iPhone go to Photos and uncheck this box:

  

  Do this for each device you have.  If you have memory cards and reformat them, you will have to repeat every time.

  To kill the opening of Photos for all devices use the method posted by JadedEye:

  Re: Prevent DEFINITELY pictures of automatic opening

  in response to leonie

  OK, it worked for me on El Cap

  Open a terminal window

  Type the following in the terminal and press enter

  defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

  (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

  The exit of the terminal.

  Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

  If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

  This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos lance all the time.

  I will not "auto-save" my photos on my drive internally, and will not allow 'Photo' me to select one different folder other than the one they chose for me on my internal drive. Whenever I select a folder from the external hard drive in the preferences, it is defaulted to the original destination in the internal drive

  I don't know what you mean by that last statement.  Are you referring to export photos from your library to the EHD? Or are you referring to place your library on the EHD and its use here? The export window to select any location you want to save to.  By default, it opens to the desktop on the startup disk. But you can select any volume which is mounted by clicking it in the sidebar of the export window:

• How can I move photos from a Photo library on my Mac to a library of photos in an external drive?

  I have 10 GB of photos in a photo library on my Mac Air, which is running out of storage space. I would like to move the photos to another library of Photos in an external drive which already hosts most of my photo archives. How can I execute the move?

  Thank you!

  Marco.

  Copy the library from the internal drive to the external drive. You can then open the library on the external hard drive by double clicking it and check, if the copy does not work.

  Photos has no tools to merge libraries. You can use both libraries alternating, or export the photos of a library and import them into the other library.

  Or use the application PowerPhotos to merge the two libraries move photos from one library to another.

  You will need the full version and paid f PowerPhotos to do.

• Library of photos on external hard drive: not possible repair

  Hello world

  Today, when I tried to open my library of Photos, Photos crashed. After I have reopened, Photos asked that the library must be repaired. I started who, but after 2%, Photos crashed with "an unexpected error has occurred." A restart does not solve this problem. I still can't view the contents of the library package.

  I saw on messages earlier (for example, 10.10.3 Photos can not repair permissions), the output of this Terminal command can reveal the underlying error:

  find ~ $TMPDIR...------(-+ flags sappnd, uappnd, schg, uchg o! - user $UID o! - perm-600 o - acl-) 2 >/dev/null | WC-l

  Outputs this line in my case: 4471

  Please note that I'm storing my photo library, including all images imported into a separate external hard drive connected via USB.

  So perhaps the command above (where I'm not sure what it does) may not be to give the required output to track down the problem.

  Following the crash of the pictures, here is the output of the Console:

• Cannot copy Photos from external storage library

  I want to copy my library of Photos of my iMac to an external storage device. I use an SD card to copy the files on as is the storage device external only I with sufficient capacity to store my library (21,86 GB). When I run the copy, all right, but eventually it stops about 21.5 GB (do not remember the exact number). It comes up with the error message "the Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in"Photo library"cannot be read or written. (Error code - 36) ». The library contains a very important image and video files and while I don't have a backup of it on my Time Capsule airport, I added a lot of files since then. One thing I found on other messages of the forum is to repair my library by pressing the command and option that I opened the Photos but I'm afraid that something can go wrong or could not even solve the problem, however if someone thinks he can do the trick I will try it. BTW - the SD card works fine as I tested it on my MacBook Air and it works for other files on my iMac. I also tried using a different SD card but had the same problems. I am running OSX 10.11 version (The El Capitan Public Beta Candidate GM). The reason why I have not yet updated to my computer because I'm worried cause more problems with my library of Photos and, as I said, my only relief is most likely is obsolete. I use an iMac late 2013 and I have had no other problems with my computer, or I do now with the current version, I'm running. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and wish you a wonderful Christmas.

  What format is the SD card?  The photo library can be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (logged)

  and as for backups without a good current backup that you will lose data early as things do lack, including the hardware, software and human - you need a constant backujp as TimeMachine anytime

• I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

  Adobe,

  I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

  I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

  You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

  Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

  Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

  Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

  Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.
