Import duplicates

I previously imported photos into LR. I deleted the project, but now I need to work on it again. The pictures are still on the SD card. I can't import as LR shows the photos are on the program. I check the file, not there. Is there a way to get around this? I also want to convert the .dng files

OK, A folder is set according to your instructions.

Now I see what the problem is with folder B. This question all began when I moved the catalog of a smaller drive on the current drive. Earlier you helped me to solve the problems here. The missing folder was not copied to the new drive. I found when I reconnected the old smaller disk. I copied the folder in the catalog on the new disk using Explorer, then sync'd. All right.

Thank you for your patience and finally resolve this.

  • LR decides to import duplicates

    LR importing from a memory card with some news and some pictures already imported. Normal operation: can't stand not duplicated. Lightroom stupid thing for pets of the day: I can't DO NOT import duplicates. I do nothing else. Hundreds of images imported as "Imgxxx_2". I haven't the time to uncheck these one at a time. Why something that suddenly stop work? LR is buggy as the typical application of 1995, or maybe something that I wrote. A shame for humanity.

    Yes, it's useful. The problem is that there are so many different circumstances that can be put into play, that pinning it down to an absolutely reproducible scenario proved very difficult, for me at least. I did a ton of tests and many times has triggered a problem but happens next time I run the test. For example, using my 5DIII of Canon which has dual card slots - SD and CF - I configure to duplicate each shot, if I try to import directly from the camera attached with two cards in the slot, in theory, half of the total images should be selectable and the other half not... but often a small batch of these two sets in the middle is selected for import , but not always. End of Jao subject using a separate card reader is a good, I didn't test that. I might give it a try when I have time.

    The new import dialog box doesn't have an option to do not import duplicates.

  • Overview of the need for "do not import duplicates".

    Smart of Lightroom, but I do not know how, why etc how this happens:

    I have the "do not import duplicates" option checked when I import new shooting sessions. My sessions are jpeg and RAW formats because that's the way I shoot (for both.) I see only one image for each shot in LR even though the RAW and jpeg are side by side in the same folder. I think that I see only the RAW image in LR. Someone here can give me a little more information on how Lightroom jpeg file name, don't even know if she has a different extension, and is also a different, but the same image file?

    Thank you

    Ken

    My thoughts were "glory, Halleluja, I never have to mess with files duplicate again" (which means Raw + Jpg). I don't know if there is a way to synchronize all changes and metadata for the combo of RAW + JPEG, but for me at least, it's way more simple just create JPEG files when if and as required. Then I know that I'm pulling of the most uptodat and best source file. YMMV!

  • IPhoto import, duplicates Handeling

    I heard that when you import an iPhoto library in pictures, Photos provides assistance to the detection and removal of the photos in the iPhoto library double.

    Is this correct?

    If so, how does this work?

    I tried to search for this topic, but Apple did a great job naming their new photos Photos app you get only as 1 billion hits back of a simple search.

    Thank you.

    NO.

    1. you NEVER import a library - it doesn't work and creates a huge mess

    2 when you migrate an iPhoto library form the photos is not duplicate check - it migrates exactly what you have in iPhoto

    3. When you import pictures from the desktop or a camera it does not check if the duplicates

    4. you can buy controls duplicate programs - tested safe are - I suggest that you do not use an untested program because some of them damage or destroy your library

  • When importing duplicate folder

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro 13 "and upgraded to LR 6, I moved my library without problem but when I import photos into a folder LR creates a duplicate outside of the original parent folder folder."  I can't move the photos in the right folder, since technically they are already there! The pictures on my hardrive are in the correct folder, but LR creates just a duplicate folder name?  Help please!

    Hi jonathanb,.

    When you import the image in Lightroom, you must choose the Option 'Add' instead of copy.

    See the screenshot below.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Cannot set 'do not import duplicates presumed' default value

    Seems very basic it should do. I think I have set "do not import suspected duplicates" whenever I have import photos (using Add). No there is no way to define a default?

    Thank you!!!

    Mine has never been changed, it is possible that your preferences file is corrupted. You can try either rename or delete the preference file, and then try again. File locations are preferred: preference and other locations of files in Lightroom 5

  • Suddenely import duplicates - why?

    I use Lightroom 2.7 (and earlier versions) for years, and I've never had this problem before:

    Time "file/import Photos from device...". ' and ' file/import Photos from Disk... ". "imported * everything * photos in the connected device or the selected folder on the my last two attempts, even if most of the photos were double and I * was * check the box"don't re - import suspected duplicates. "  When I watched the catalogue, then I saw copies of the same pictures in the same catalog directories.  In each case, several months elapsed between the original imports and duplicate.

    In the case of the camera, I don't see how something on the image files would have changed.  In the case of the disc, it's a new CD - R which I transferred the images for the second time.  The images themselves have not changed, although the "Date modified" files on the CD - R has.

    Latest twist: I just tried to re-importation of the same images that last, CD - R (after deletion of the duplicate in first and this time Lightroom recognized them as duplicates (of those imported months ago!) and has not re-imported.)

    I checked the forum and found a similar thread at " " http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3287374#3287374 ', but it does not provide all the answers. "  I've been back up my catalog periodically, and automatic checks have never reported any problem.

    Any ideas? -JClarkW

    Well, no, the camera does not change the file names.

    This problem could be due to a corrupted preferences file. This file can go 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of strange behavior of Lr. The repair is to replace the preferences file.

    BTW: Resettlement Lr does not replace the file prefs, since it seeks to 'survive' updates.

    See here for where to find the preferences for your operating system file: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m - 4.html

  • Lightroom not allowing me to import duplicates of tif

    Hello!

    History - long boring, but I have shot and edited a number of images in lightroom, then open from lightroom in PS and made a final editing and saved as TIFF in a folder outside of lightroom.

    Now, I would like to re - import these images into lightroom, but lightroom does not allow - I think because they are duplicates of images already in lightroom. However, I unchecked "Import suspected duplicates and it STILL does not." I can't understand why.

    I'm on a Mac, under 10.6.8. Lightrom 3.6 and Photoshop CS5.

    I don't know how to attach a screenshot here, but essentially all of the images are 'grey' so that they cannot be checked and imported

    Thanks for any help at all!

    Ellen

    When you export images for editing in PS, Lightroom passes your image to Photoshop. When you save (or save as) of the PS, the resulting image is added to your catalog, even if you save to a different folder. This is why it won't let you import. You try to import a file that is already where you try to import to. It's already there, so you need not import it.

    It. I saved a step in your workflow.

  • How to avoid to create images when importing duplicate?

    I doubt that it is the correct method or better to import/organize my photos, because it creates additional work I would like to avoid.  I'm looking for a solution.

    I do the following:

    • Copy all my photos from my SD card in my folders organized on my external hard drive.
    • Open Lightroom and import photosfrom my external hard drive.

    What happens is that Lightroom creates an image duplicated on my Mac in my pictures folder. At this point, he referred to this directory and not my external hard drive. What I end up doing deletes the pictures in my photos folder.  So I connect all my photos in Lightroom on my external drive.

    As you can imagine, it becomes tedious to do this every time I have import in Lightroom.

    My idea situation is Lightroom NOT to reproduce images or put them in any folder, but simply refer to those that I chose when importing to my external hard drive.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    It's probably because you select the option COPY the top of import dialog when you should be by selecting the Add option.

    COPY the images of copies from one place to another and to import them.

    ADD add just the images in the LR catalog where they are currently.

    There is also the possibility of "make the second copy to:" on the side right of the dialog import but this option is only available with either COPY it, MOVE or COPY as DNG options. You need to add the option to add images in the catalog file LR in the place where they are already on your external drive.

  • Import of duplicates with "Add" in Lightroom 2015.2.1 is not possible.

    Import of duplicates with "Add" in Lightroom 2015.2.1 is not possible.

    I have try to add photos on my hard drive for the catalogue of lightromm since the new version of Lightroom. But Lightroom says that are duplicates of already existing photo and does not matter to them. Yes they are duplicates that are in other folders, but in older versions, it was possible to slect or deselect 'import duplicates. " I can't find this option more. Where is he? Maybe you can help me. Thank you very much.

    Hi [email protected],

    The option to "Import suspected duplicates" has been deleted since the last release of Lightroom CC 2015.2.1.

    However for re-import images in Lightroom, you need to rename the images in Lightroom and then import them.

    Kind regards

  • How to filter uploaded duplicate pictures in "Photos".

    How to filter uploaded duplicate pictures in "Photos" (in order to remove duplicates)...?

    Usually, Photos should you cannot import duplicates. It will give a warning if you try to import an exact replica.  You are importing different versions of the same photos?

    Photos has no tools to search for duplicates. You would need a third party program to analyze the library of Photos of duplicates.

    I can recommend these:

    • Pictures of power will detect duplicates, if the file attributes are the names of files, identical for example. See this link:

    https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos/

    Independent detection of duplicates, it is a great tool to use in combination with pictures.

    • PhotosSweeper is very versatile for find duplicates in a different state of the edition or the size. It will detect cropped versions of the same photos, or reduced in size, as it will compare the photo, not only the attributes of the file: http://overmacs.com/photosweeper.html
  • Why do I need to import existing photos?

    All my devices are in the same Apple ID, sync all of them via iCloud photo library.

    Backups are via iTunes to OS X.

    Recently, I made the order and again sorted my photos of OS X.

    I 4920 pictures altogether.

    Now I see on the Photos of OSX I need to import new photos that are already in my iPhone.

    Why do I need to import existing photos? Why say that are just 4129 photos?

    Pls see photo...

    Thank you!

    Now I see on the Photos of OSX I need to import new photos that are already in my iPhone.

    Why do I need to import existing photos?

    If you use iCloud photo library to keep your photo library in sync, do not import the photos again in the iPhone using a USB connection.

    I suspect, you have set the settings > Photos & camera on your iPhone for iCloud photo library to 'optimize storage '.

    This means that your original photos, full resolution are in iCloud and not on your iPhone at all.  Only if you browse your photos or change them to share, your iPhone will download new copies of the originals to iCloud for editing. Photos on your Mac does not recognize them as duplicates, because this local copies have different file names. You could import duplicates.

    Skip the Import Panel in Photos when your iPhone is connected. Don't import anything, unless you have some new photos on the iPhone, that could still download in iCloud photo Library, because the iPhone couldn't go online.

  • How to remove duplicate pictures

    I imported all my photos in the photo library. How to remove duplicates of Photos (version 1.3) on OS X El Capitan without 3rd party software?

    Photos don't have a tool to detect the duplicates library. It relies on detecting when you import photos.

    If you intentionally import duplicates, you can only search for them manually, for example by sorting the photos of the capture date, if duplicates will appear side-by-side in moments.

    To search for duplicates, you need third-party software. These three are safe to use with Photos:
