Importing old photos in lightroom-date changed!

I'm trying to import old NEF files in Lightroom 4.4 and convert to DNG at the same time.  Previously it worked well.  A problem has developed a couple of days.  Rather than name the folder with the date, the photos were taken, the year has changed.  I don't know why he has changed, but the change has been consistent on several attempts.  The photograph were made in 2010.  Now when I import them, the date changes in 2011.  For example, a folder named "2010-18-05" changes to 2011-05-18.  The files in the folder also change the date of 2011.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Not really sure why his is going on, but have you tried the stand alone DNG Converter. You can batch convert a whole folder of raw images and then put in LR, using import > Add.

Download Windows (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1

Download Mac (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1

  • Hesitant to import my old photos into Lightroom as they have all been published on my Sony play memories... wouldn't be better to just start with the new pictures that I take every day?  (not published)

    You could start with new photos which gives you a good idea for the application and use of cursors to develop. The change of Lightroom is completely non-destructive. All changes are stored in a database (catalog) so your original is never touched. Perhaps you could bring more old photos already on your computer, a file at a time, when you're ready. Use Import > Add.

    To import new photos from a camera or card use Import > copy

  • import old photos and you want to place in the correct timeline

    Hello

    I want to import images recently scanned "prior to 2002", the year I went digital... How can ensure me Photos to place in the correct timeline flow? That is, do not place them after the photos I took yesterday... But well above 2002?

    THX.

    Change their dates the correct dates - for Photos all photos are sorted by date and time (all the pictures, they are sorted by date imported photos)

    You can change the dates before you import using Preview software or third party or after importation using the time command to settle in Photos

  • Importing photos into Lightroom CC

    I always had problems trying to import my photos into Lightroom. I have read many articles on it and watched many tutorials, and none of them does not seem to work for me. I'm working on a Mac OS (El Capitan) and I use the Photos App on my computer. I take photos for a living, and I want some "records" of the Photos App to import into Lightroom so I can change, so I want to save them back in the 'File' or 'Album' from the Photos App. I'm frustrated that there is no means to achieve and that Lightroom is so different from Photoshop and other items.

    If someone could help with this, I'd appreciate it greatly - thank you!

    Hi shelbys.

    Well, you cannot migrate your images directly from App Photos in Lightroom as opening.

    You export your App Photos images and save it somewhere on the machine, then Lightroom would be able to see your images and can add/import your images into the software so that you can edit them later.

    In addition, you can refer to the same discussion: Re: How do I import photos into Photos of Yosemite Mac app LightroomCC?

  • Import the iCloud photos in Lightroom

    I have an iMac with Yosemite, my photo library is currently in Photos (ICloud). I don't want to move the library to Lightroom at the moment, but do not want to use to change individual pictures, but I don't see how to import a photo in Lightroom when the photo is not on my hard drive. I'm not techno of mind so please use simple language! Thank you

    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,

    Mike

  • How simply move/Custom, organize your Photos in Lightroom 4?

    I am so frustrated at the moment. I'm in Lightroom 4 and I'm in the Mode Library grid. All I want to do is take a photo in the grid and move it to another location in the grid. It seems that you should be able to just click on the picture, drag and drop to where you would like placed on the grid. It's impossible. Then I read that the record must be clicked on also. So I clicked on the folder. Then, a pop-up said that I have, "can't move photos as long as there are subfolders". So I clicked on the subfolder and I still couldn't move picture. Then I read that I had to delete the subfolder. I did it and all 546 photos have been removed from Lightroom. I am now in the middle of importing the photos in Lightroom. Why is it so difficult? In Aperture, you need to drag the photo to the desired position. It works just like a toaster. But why Lightroom does make things so difficult? I wish someone would do a tutorial for Adobe TV about how simply move the photos. It is so basic and I can't understand it. Please, someone tell me just how to move a photo in Lightroom 4 to another position? Thank you.

    It seems that if you try to sort on a folder that has subfolders. LR will not allow this - you must open specific subfolder that contains only these images you need to sort and to do with it.

  • Import photos into lightroom on another machine and keep your changes.

    My hard drive has failed, but I could extract my lightroom with my pictures folder and place it on an external hard drive. Is it possible for me to import the photos in that folder in lightroom on a new machine and keep my changes I made?

    CHETNA response is good for running off LR the external drive.

    If you prefer to use an internal hard drive, simply copy the catalog and images to the new internal drive, then "relocate" images using the link of Claes.

  • Importing photos with Lightroom (5.3) changes in Photoshop CS5

    I've recently upgraded to Lightroom 5.3 since the 5.2 version.  Now, I can't import photos with Lightroom edited in Photosop CS5.  It wasn't a problem in the previous version.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks, I d/load the file and tested.

    Everything works as expected for me, so there's something wrong with your implementation.

    Try to remove the file from'd rather with Lr closed and restarted. Preferences can get damaged a cause all types of unusual problems.

  • My old computer crashed, but I have a backup of the catalog. Should I restore my catalog first, or should I import my photos first?

    Hi, my old computer fell down, but I have a backup of the catalog and my photos are in an internal HD that I already install it on my new PC. My question is should I first restore my catalog or should I import my photos first?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hector.

    Hi Hector.

    You need to restore your old Lightroom Catalog backup, and which should be containing all your images and changes you have made so far, however, it can display as missing images that can be moved.

    Follow the steps in this article to move the missing images when the catalog is restored: How to find missing photos in Photoshop Lightroom
