Import from an another that partially worked catalog

I imported a catalog and the pictures from my MacBook to my iMac, and only some of the photos imported into the catalog of my iMac.

In the Finder iMac, I can see all the photos, but only some of them appear in Lightroom 5.  I tried to import the missing photos by selecting the records at issue, but missing photos do not arise at import.  For example, in one folder, 50 pictures are greyed out so they have supposedly to import, but the library shows only 35 pictures.

How can I force LR to find the missing photos?

Thank you

Cliff

Hey, Cliff,

If Lightroom presents the images as when importing grayed, it means that they are already present in the catalog.

It could be possible that they are present in the other folder and not to the search in.

You should do a test search for either of these images.

Select all photographs under catalog Panel in the library module > activate the text filter > type the name of one of these images and check if Lightroom displays the result.

If so, order click on this picture > choose go to folder in the library and it will show you the folder where this image.

Concerning

    Hi rsev,.

    For existing photos, select all your images in the grid view, and then click the Reset All button in the quick develop Panel. Then click on the auto tone button to correctly apply this feature.

    To prevent this from happening in the future, choose Lightroom > preferences > Presets (Mac OS) or edit > Preferences > Presets (Windows). Uncheck the apply auto tone adjustments.

  • LR5: Import from an another catalog - cannot copy

    The LR4 on my desktop PC, I used to be able to select file-> import from another catalog, go to a catalog on a laptop computer in a network, select the dates/photos I want to import, and then choose to Copy the Photos to a new location and import. This as well copy the photos on the network to my office and add photos to my LR catalog - one-step office. Always worked great for me to return laptop computer pictures travel in my main office & catalog LR.

    Desktop and laptop recently upgraded to LR5. But now when I try this same procedure - the dialog box "import from a different catalog...". "no longer has the ability to Copy the Photos to a new location and import.  The only options are Add new pictures to the catalog without travel and import new photos.

    Of course I can work around this problem by doing it with 2-3 additional steps: I can import via the network as above, but choose to add new Photos to catalog Without Moving then later copy the files & find missing photos. Or export to a separate catalog and copy the text, etc.

    So, what happened to the option copy Photos to a new location and import in LR5? This option has been removed explicitly?  Or is there something else, I'm missing (path of file permissions, etc) which would cause the option not to appear? Thank you.

    Lightroom 5 64-bit for Windows, version 5.0

    Desktop: Windows 7 64-bit

    Laptop: 8 64-bit Windows

    OK - never mind. I think that I thought about it.

    LR seems to display only the option to copy Photos to a new location and import when you have a drive letter mapped to the root of the remote volume control where the images are stored (and where the remote network catalogue). Just by browsing the catalog via the UNC path is not working. Basically, you need to trick LR into thinking that the photos are on a local disk.

    I think that when it worked before, my office probably had a drive letter mapped permanently in my laptop drive root. This mapped drive seems to have disappeared during the upgrade of the-> Windows 8 Windows 7 laptop.  So no change in behavior between LR4 and LR5.

    In general, I find that this is the fastest & easiest way to return photos travel my laptop catalog in the catalog of my desk, when I get home from a trip.

  • Apply preset on several images that partially work

    I'm used to apply autotone import order of difficulty of exhibition. But then, I usually apply a preset (like for example the VSCO) affecting many things BUT show and usually affecting highlights, shadows, blacks and whites to fixed values, among other things.

    My problem is: I can apply the preset to an image and it works, but not a lot. I know how to apply a preset to several images: library in grid or develop mode with activated automatic synchronization. The problem lies elsewhere: the preset can change things like the curves of a large number of files, but as highlights, shadows, blacks and whites are concerned, the values are changed to only a small number of photos arround the "plus" selected, but not for each selected image. However, each photo is known to have the prest applied, even if it is not fully applied. I don't know if the preset is only partially implemented, or if it is fully implemented, but your car is applied again instantly for a reason any.

    I tried many things including the reset of LR and replace same. I tried to back up the catalog and open the backup instead. Can you help me?

    This is a long-standing bug. Please add your vote and the details of your problem to this bug report in the official feedback forum Adobe: Lightroom : changes to the settings not applied to all photos of batch development | Community customer Photoshop family

    As you can see in this bug report, when you apply the auto tone to a batch of photos, LR postpones the real parameters calculation until you select the image and perhaps see with a magnifying glass. The presets applied before its auto settings are actually calculated will be ignored.

    The annoying workaround should wait the auto tone is actually applied - select each image in the library grid view, wait a few seconds and if it does not, open it in magnifying glass.

  • Images not showing Up when importing from another photographer catalog

    I am an editor for a wedding photographer and I had this problem happens often, and I don't know what is the cause. I can see all the information behind the image, the ranking and if there is no previous editing on it, but the image itself is not displayed. The photographer sends on the catalogue, forecasting and intelligent preview. There are moments that all transfer perfectly and other times the images are not there.

    We tried to delete everything on both ends and start making sure that everything is done correctly, but it still happens. I tried to discuss with the support, but they have not been able to help. Whenever this happens, I lose money because I can't be their editor. We have both the most recent LR so it's not the question.

    How we are currently transferring Weddings:

    She takes is export as catalog with preview and intelligent preview. Once it's she will post the three files (catalogue, smart overview and overview) on Dropbox and sends them on. When I get it, I download the catalog of smart zip preview and preview of the zip. Once downloaded, I extract the prediction and intelligent preview. Can I go to file > import from another catalog... I click on the catalog file and select choose.  Sometimes it works and other times it does not.

    What we're doing wrong?

    OK, so after talking with Adobe on two different days, then post it here, I called Adobe and they set about 5 minutes. Here's what he once let him access my computer...

    (1) closed LR

    (2) he checked my monitor has been fixed by default sRGB as shown above.

    (3) then it went to the folder and change the smart preview to a different name by putting .old to the end

    (4) then instead of extracting the zip file it opens the zip file and copied the file and pasted with other files

    (5) opened LR and images where it!

  • Import from another catalog - cannot select the catalog items

    I'm trying to merge a temporary catalog, I started on my laptop in my 'main' catalog - both are v5.7.1.  I exported the photos from my laptop in a directory on my NAS, including raw files.  I see the catalog so all the 5,000 or if raw files it.

    Next step - import catalog in my catalog 'main' - where the problem occurs.  I can't select all items in the catalogue - they have dimmed, and I can't click on it to select it.  See screen capture below:

    LR Catalog import err.png

    I have reason to believe that it is a matter of import rather than an export problem, because if I copy the exported catalog to a location not connected to the network and that you open in LR, I see pictures of 5000-ish.  I can't merge via import.

    I could really use a helping hand in this regard, because I spent a good bit of time, to the note of these files over the weekend, and I wouldn't just as quickly again.

    I wonder if this is due to the fact that the exported catalog (any one) resides on a network drive.  I tested this feature, last winter (Re: import / export of files between computers on a wireless network) and it works perfectly.  But LR will not allow the primary catalog be stored on a network drive, then maybe it is linked in a way that I find with my tests.

    I suggest to export a catalog little test with just a few pictures and place the catalog and photos on a locally connected drive.  If it works, this indicates a workaround solution that bothers.

  • Cannot import from another catalog

    Lightroom is (or I) get confused in the attempt to import from another catalog.

    I shot 193 images. I imported the to my catalog on my desktop computer. Decide later that I wanted to edit on the road, I copied (using the operating system) photographs for the catalog of my laptop. I edited the and then exported the folder as a catalogue, deciding not to export the negative files too since that they were already on my desktop.

    Back on the desktop, I tried to "import an another catalog" (by selecting the catalog on my key USB has more of the laptop). But all were grayed out and it wouldn't let me check the files at the top left under catalog content. I think the other options said 'New photos (found nothing)' and "Changed (Nothing found) existing photos." Under "existing photos that are missing," said he found 193, but it made no difference what choice I made there, because the import tab is grey.

    Thinking that Lightroom was not aware that the 193 pictures on desktop and laptops were one and the same, I went back to the laptop and this time this export negative files too. Then I deleted the original folder of photos, who intend to import from the catalog again, this time with the negative of files in my Office catalogue. For Lightroom have forgotten they ever existing on the desktop. But the same problem still occurs in the dialog box - it wont let me select the folders, the photos are grayed out and import the button is too.

    Anyone know why I can not import anything from this catalogue?

    Thank you!

    I does not solve the problem but I have found an acceptable workaround. I restored the images that I had deleted in the original folder and then copied the files .xmp of images published on the laptop (using the file manager), paste it into the original folder on the desktop and then said LR to replace the original metadata. It is not the same as importing the catalog, but it is good enough for now.

  • I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

    I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

    You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

    Hello ITGIRL17,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Configure your task under your administrator account.
    Then go to the folder with the batch file and ADD on control for the folder administrator permissions and each of the files in batches.
    If the batch files write data, then the target for the task should ALSO have all explicit permissions.
    Now try to run the Task Scheduler task.
