Import the camera directly into Lightroom via USB

I looked around this forum but could not find an answer to what I thought was a simple question.

Using the Mavericks 10.9.5 and Lightroom 5.6

I am trying to improve my workflow.

I currently take two steps to get my photos in Lightroom:


1. connect the camera via USB for Mac and Nikon Transfer allows you to import photos from my camera in a default folder on my Mac, I also put it to remove photos from my camera once completed.

2. open Lightroom and import photos to the catalog, including moving them to the desired specific final destination folder.

I know I could use a card reader but don't want to go down that road because it's a pain out the mem card and its replacement.

Is it possible to reduce this to a single step using Lightroom.

I tried implementing of Image Capture on my Mac to make Lightroom automatically open when a camera is connected, but the option is grayed out, which seems strange.

If I have lightroom open, and then select the camera as source only get the option copy files not move them to a folder of destination of the machine photo so can't erase the memory of the device.

I can't be the only person who wants to do this someone has a solution.

After playing around a bit I have answered my own question.

I discovered that Nikon Transfer has an option to automatically open another application, so affecting that Lightroom, I realized what I wanted.

  • After you import the image files into Lightroom, Lightroom does not show my folder hierarchy.

    Before I started using Lightroom, I got my pictures organized in a hierarchy of folders.

    My_imagesAA1
    A2
    BB1
    B2

    (The actual structure is deeper than this example a few levels.)

    I imported the A1, A2, B1, B2 files in Lightroom and gave them the keywords that reflect the folder structure.

    Now, when I look in Lightroom under folders, the structure is gone (it is still there on my drive). All I see is a list of A1, A2, B1, B2 files, so it is difficult to navigate to the folder that I want to work with.

    How can I get Lightroom to display the folder structure in that my images are in fact?

    Found a solution. Right click the folder and select "show parent folder.
    Repeat this operation several times until you see the folder structure you want.

  • Photos on my Flickr account can be downloaded and imported directly into Lightroom?

    Photos on my Flickr account can be downloaded and imported directly into Lightroom?

    You can download photos from Flickr on your hard disk, and then import those in LR (a two-step process).

    If you want to then maintain the relationship between these photos in your catalog and photos on Flickr, you can use this third-party Flickr plugin. It is a little more complex to implement than the Flickr edition built-in service for LR, but she is more capable and more reliable.

    Hi Peter,.

    If some how changed the order sorted, you can go back sorting to 'Added A order' in the toolbar.

    or, choose all the photos and click the view menu and sort to choose the sort order.

    Since the last update when importing image directly in Lightroom, metadata display the correct focal length, but will not display any information from the lens, Lightroom reports only as 'unknown lens', the info from the lens is in the meta-data...

  • Impossible to import my camera card jpg files directly into lightroom error 51

    Use to be able to run Lightroom when I loaded my camera in the player card, now I see photos in lightroom, but when I select Import I get a box with that: import results indicating the following files were not imported because they could not be read. (51) and then it will list all the jpg I want imported into LIghtroom. In this error message, I have a choice to save a txt file which seems strange. What is going on. Not sure if this started when I updated to windows 10, but I use LIghtroom 3 with windows 10.

    Currently, the workaround is to create a folder on the desktop and then have open lightroom this folder and it works.

    Hello

    Could please check when you import images into Lightroom, the destination on the right is selected as the folder of Photos.

    Please try and see if you are able to import the images from the card.

    Please let us know if it helps.

    Kind regards

  • can I import from the camera directly to external hard drive

    I recently joined the mac world... before this I used a windows machine and will import directly on my SD card and my destination was my DHM. I did this strategically by date so that everything would be in order... I have my catalog related to my DHM and things were a lot until I started to import and also export it is said that they pictures cannot be read. However when I bind to the new computer, I used the DHM and LR found them without any problem. I thought that maybe my DHM has not been formatted for Mac and that could be the problem... I was wondering if anyone has any input on this subject. I spoke with someone at Adobe on a chat and screen sharing and they imported 400 + photos on my hard drive and said that I was not able to complete the process I described above. Noted that I had to import to HD and then proceed to SMT. Not sure why I would add another step when I could just import to SMT. So now I have 400 + pictures on one day in April which is very incorrect... I was disappointed with this Adobe chat person.

    I'm not sure I understand exactly what is your problem, but I will try to answer. You can store your photos anywhere you want including an external hard drive. The key is when you import photos into lightroom, to 'say' where are the pictures. When you start the import process on the right side of the screen to import you set the destination for the import. You can set your internal hard drive or an external hard drive as your location as long as do you at the time of importation. If you choose an external hard drive, the pictures do not have to be placed on your internal drive at the beginning. In addition, your catalog of lightroom (record of changes, not the pictures themselves), can be stored on your internal HD or external HD.

    Hi Carolina,.

    Lightroom is not designed to be a tool of "a single image at a time", it is designed to manage all your images, and he really excels at working together with many images. That said, you are free to import as little as a single image at a time in Lightroom, given two main conditions:

    1. you must have the original image to import into Lightroom.

    2. you must have a dedicated, don't change location to keep this image when you use Lightroom. If you move the image outside of Lightroom, the program will not know where you moved it.

    Lightroom is a complete work environment, it is not only an image editor. It ' their organizing photo and an organizer of workflow. The right way to approach Lightroom to get the expected benefit is to use it to manage all your images. I encourage you to look at some of the available Introduction videos to get a feel for the Lightroom workflow. It is not difficult, but it is different from the classic image editing programs.

    I hope this is a help,

  • How to import the xml file into bcc?

    My input to atg file is xml containing assets of category or products.

    I want the Scheduler to run to auto create a project and send an e-mail to the customer for approval.

    When the client approves the xml file, and then run the Scheduler to get the data from the xml file into bcc.

    I use: SingletonSchedulableService for this

    Give me a direction for the same thing.

    Thanks in advance.

    I want to implement this in bcc.

    What listener will listen to the authorization of the client for email (that contains the XML to import) we sent to him?

    You will need to do a custom development to hang your workflow customized with incoming e-mail. To send notifications by mail electronic action is already there, and while creating his element within the ACC, you can specify a JSP page for the email template. You can view the rest of the relevant documents:

    I recommend you to consult the existing source of DeploymentEmailer in \Publishing\samples\Java and see different types of DeploymentEvent and States can be used, based on your requirement in your custom component. See also these API javadocs for the process and the events of deployment available:

    DeploymentEvent (ATG Java API)

    DeploymentServer (ATG Java API)

    ATG has a component/atg/dynamo/service/POP3Service to retrieve messages from a POP3 e-mail server, but it is mainly used to detect the bounced email. Not too sure if it helps or adjustment in your case, but still you can go through all the details to know what is already there:

    Bounced from Oracle ATG Web Commerce - E-mail

    You can also check the event InboundEmail and API javadocs for InboundEmailMessage which are used in this function of rebound detection E-mail:

    Oracle, ATG trade Web - InboundEmail event

    InboundEmailMessage (ATG Java API)

    Now based on all this, if you extend and customize a lot of things, that it would be little complex and tedious detect mail incoming approval based on its content and then advance your workflow. Another approach may be to put a URL in the e-mail template of your notification by e-mail that the approver will click and on the landing page, you can authenticate and advance your workflow to the needs.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones unable to view the files on SD card via USB on Windows PC

    I am a new PRIVATE owner (increased from Z10) and I can't seem to view the contents of my SD card on my WIN10 PC when it is connected via a USB cable.

    In fact, none of the content on the PRIV are displayed on my WIN10 PC when connected via USB.
