import into Lightroom 6 catalog of hard drive Mac 96 000 photos

Hello.  I am new to Lightroom and I wanted to download selectively from the hard drive of my Macbook, but before I could specify where I wanted it to look, Lightroom has begun the process tedious loading all of the user and after a long interval, came with 110 000 photos.  Some have been duplicated, and some were components of programs like images, settings, graphics etc.   So, I moved CMD a great bunch I KNOW I won't be in the LR library... (of which most are small graphic images like I said above) and I've unchecked, but how do I make them disappear?

I want to switch to the other, but it is very slow, and I feel that I should eliminate the 'chunks' of photos in order to get to those I don't want to import.  This isn't how I myself remember the video I watched on importation to be.  I probably did something wrong!   :

Does anyone have advice for a beginner to mark on the way to not clutter their catalog Lightroom 6?    It was my intention to small groups in the office files that I had arranged for hours before I chose import.  I did year and records system, my folder of Design elements and the favorite folder so that I can mark and color code them on their way in.

This isn't how I had photographed this moment in my being of Lightroom-hobby!   Laughing out loud!    Thanks to all who read this!

Hello Tracy,.

You can select lots of photos in your catalog and press on delete key > choose Remove to delete the catalog.

If you want to start over and import by a file you wanted, then you can either select all and remove all the or create a new catalog empty and then start the import process.

If you are ready to create a new catalog, go to menu file > create catalog > name > choose the location where you want to save it.

This would open up an empty catalog, and then you can start your import process.

Refer to this tutorial: How to transfer photos to a folder from the hard drive to Photoshop Lightroom

Later, you can get rid of the older catalog.

Kind regards

  • Import into Lightroom

    My photos will not appear on the left of the screen.  This is why I can't import into lightroom.  I have a new mac so just get used to it.  When I click on the photos to my albums are but the only option under 'Photos' in the table of Lightroom's 'Lightroom' but I have no pictures there that I'm just getting started!  Help!

    Hi ann-mariek,.

    You have all your images to the title of the Photos App on your mac, you must export your images out of the Photos app and save it to a specific location (internal or external hard drive), now when you browse this site under Lightroom since the import window and then you would be able to import images into Lightroom.

    Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

    By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

    Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

    But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

    Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

    Hope this makes things clearer.

  • I can't import pictures into LR 5 of the hard drive on Macbook pro Maverick.

    I can't import pictures into LR 5 of the hard drive on Macbook pro Maverick. There is none of the error messages.

    It's weird.

    Suggest you to reset the preferences of Lightroom.

    Before that, go to Lightroom > catalog settings > General and make a note of the location, so that you know where your main catalog is stored.

    Then, follow these instructions:

    1. exit the Lightroom program

    2. open Finder

    3. click on menu go (top) and type ~/library and click Go.

    4. open the Preferences folder

    5. rename the file com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist in com.adobe.Lightroom5 - old.plist

    Then open Lightroom again and try to import again.

    Why I can not install Lightroom to a custom through the creative cloud location?

    Lightroom must be installed on your local disk and cannot be installed to a creative custom as other Cloud applications location. Lightroom always installs to the default location and does not take into account any preference you select for a custom location. This behavior is specified.

    I recently had to rebuild the computer and reinstalled the photos.  I have photos imported into Lightroom, but the parameters associated with the photos, that is to say. When they were developed, are not there.  How to import these?

    Default LR stores all changes in the catalog file, not in the pictures. So if you have a backup of your original catalog you will need to copy on the newly rebuilt system and open it in LR. You will then need to recreate a link to the images in the catalog depending on where are your images and where the original LR catalogue think they are.

  • Why are all my black rotating photos to import into lightroom?

    I have been using Lightroom for over a year now and I have about 15 000 + photos. I have not had problems to import until the last update, I did. Since this recent update, when I import my card or my external hard drive, the images don't appear, then a start to disappear. I watch as the histogram developing passes from the original information to all black. I'm so confused, and I lost a whole evening time I desperately need editing. Everyone knows this? I'm working on a new Mac and using Creative Cloud Lightroom.

  • I just downloaded winows meïdia player 11 it won't import my music from my external hard drive

    Winows meïdia player 11 won't import my music from my external hard drive whenever I try to add files, it just seems threw? How can I get my music in my library?

    The http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925718 instructions are for WMP 11 on XP. Here are the correct steps to WMP 11 Vista: (note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too)

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

    You highlight the files to delete (Ctrl-click to select) and simply press the delete key. You get a dialog box with a check box to specify whether you want also deleted from the disk.

  • camera Sony 7r mk can if display impossible to generate the preview when you import into Lightroom 2 - get

    Hello

    Does anyone know how to get the Sony raw (ARW), taken with the new camera Sony 42megapixel, working with Adobe Lightroom.

    When trying to import maps on my pro Sandisk extreme sd in Lightroom app said: Impossible to generate the preview for files that have been taken with this camera... I can't import these files.

    Lightroom says cannot import files-non recognized by the raw support in Lightroom.

    However, the raw files generated by the camera of Sony a7rs, imports and plays well with Lightroom...

    I'm now using lightroom 6 edition of lifetime license not CC (just updated to 5.7).

    I thought that this upgrade would have solved this problem... but it doesn't seem to be the case.

    Is someone having a similar problem... and if so how is it resolved.

    Hi robertlue,

    Sony 7RM2 files are supported in the latest version of Lightroom is 6.1.1 (Camera Raw 9.1.1)

    Make sure your Lightroom is so far through this link: keeping up-to-date for Lightroom

    Then, try to import into Lightroom.

  • RAW NEF images are completely different (darker) when they are imported into Lightroom?

    Recently I faced a problem for my RAW of NIKON D750 images after imported into Lightroom.

    For example, the brightness of the RAW images I shot in the camera is completely different after imported into Lightroom.

    Yes, the RAW files include more data that can be adjusted backwards in brighter in Lightroom, but it occurs the most noise to the image that I don't really like.

    I just curious is my setting in camera (maybe the screen is too bright perhaps?) or it is common that viewing through the camera LCD screen is brighter than the visualization in Lightroom?

    Behind closed doors (the brightness I want):

    20150606_122350.jpg

    Through Lightroom:

    Untitled.png

    If you want to be in non-Nikon raws software processing, turn off the ADL and leave it off.   The same applies to other settings where the camera is something special for lighting or the brightness of the camera jpg.

    ADL will deliberately underexpose the image, then artificially pushed the dark areas while leaving only brighter area.  This more dynamic compress in the camera-jpg, but will make no-Nikon software see the true underexposed image.

  • Why records are imported into Lightroom remaining gray?

    Remaining files imported into Lightroom 5 gray, why? I am a fairly experienced user of LR5 and have been using it to organize my photos for a few years now, and I've never had this problem before. It happens when I import directly from my card using a card reader and also if I download on the computer and import from there. Same result, so be it: once I have imported the photos folder arrow remains gray. I updated the folder locations and synchronized folders, and there is no change - folder stay grey arrows. What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Are the grey icons or the grey triangles? If the triangles are gray dark, it means simply that there is no subfolder in this folder. If they are light gray, it measnyou can check the triangle and see the subfolders in this folder.
