Importing photos into LR second external drive

I have all my RAW photos are currently important to an external drive. I would like to activate a second external drive start to be used for imports. You can have two and LR6 will find these photos on the drive?  If I import the photos today on a new external drive and then want to look at the pictures of yesterday, who are on the other drive, LR will find them?

My first drive becomes full and it seems that things are very slow when I try and take down the images. I thought that maybe the full drive was the problem. My computer is not so old and still has lots of storage. And when I use applications on my computer outside of LR, they are fast.

Thanks for any input

Yes, you can do it. In the import dialog box, change the Destination (it's on the right side) and that it points to the 2nd disc.

    How can I import photos into my iPad to use in photoshop touch?

    I have PS Touch for Android, and I have several options that are available to me, which I'm sure most is also available to users of iOS:

    • via a connection cable of the camera, also known as an OTG cable (import from camera)
    • via cable USB (import from your computer)
    • via an application that installs wireless to your network (where you can then download your tablet from your computer)

    The first option is an accessory that I had to buy. The second option was an accessory supplied with my tablet. The third option was on the game of Google (and can be free or paid according to what you go with).

  • Can I make a backup of my time on a second external drive capsule

    It is perhaps an exaggeration, but as I have a Seagate external drive, I thought it wise to make a second backup. Is there a procedure that I can set up to automatically duplicate what I save on my TC.

    I run a 27 inch mid 2011 iMac with the last OS of El Capitan. I use my Time capsule using the airport on 12 hours automatic backup.

    Can I make a backup of my time on a second external drive Capsule

    Yes, you can... but the procedure will not "auto".  Connect the hard drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule and use the Archives in the utility AirPort.

    This copies everything on the Time Capsule on the USB.

    Upside down... you have a copy of all of your backups on the Time Capsule. Downside... you must check manually... and... f there are problems with the backups on the Time Capsule, these same questions will be copied on the USB.

    IF... connect you the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, rather using the manual function Archive... you don't have the opportunity to have Time Machine backup automatically at a time Capsule of time and the USB on the Time Capsule.  Time Machine automatically alternates backups from one disk to another.

    Even better, more reliable and much faster would be to connect the USB directly to your Mac and have Time Machine automatically backup the disk in addition to the time Capsule.

    There are other options of backup as well, but they would not be using Time Machine.

  • 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?

  • To import Photos into Lightroom

    I'm unable to import photos into lightroom on my Mac 5. It will be the first segment of unit import photos and the last bit, but leave out the middle section of photos. I thought it was because I changed the settings on my camera one day and those pictures of that day could not be imported, but it did just the same thing when I tried to import photos from my iPhone. It would incorporate pictures from October and December, but none since November. I tried to uncheck "do not import suspected duplicates", but which did not help either. I can import these pictures on my computer, but not in Lightroom. Lightroom is how I organize and classify all my photos, so it is a big problem for me. How can I fix?

    I can't import photos into lightroom free trial cc/6 2015. Lightroom can see all my pictures from my SDHC card and allows me to select and configure the import, and then clicking import it says that all the selected files (245) has not can be imported because they could not be read. I use MacBook Pro 2015 OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, photos taken with Canon G1 X Mark II. Any ideas?

    This message indicates that you have not permission in writing to the destination directory.

    So:

    1. Determine the destination directory... go in the Lightroom import dialog box and note the location of this directory specified on the right side under "Destination".
    2. Go to your operating system and change the permissions on this exact directory have WRITE permission.
  • I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

    I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

    The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.

    Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

  • 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.

  • Import of files from an external drive their copy on my internal drive?

    Hello

    I am a PSE newbie and this is my first post here.  I have a question about importing files.  I store all of my photos on an external drive.  Importation of files copy in the Adobe folder?  If so, I can now work on an image even if the external drive is disconnected?

    Will I receive an email notification when someone answers my question?

    Thank you.

    If Windows sees your external drive as "removable", when you call the PES file > get Photos and videos > files and folders, default PSE copy photos in the Pictures\Adobe folder (unless you disable the option to copy the photos).

    Usually, only flash drives (thumb readers ' "), CD/DVD, cameras and flash cards are processed by Windows as"removable ".  But sometimes Windows confused and treats as external hard drives removable.  You can check how Windows is treat your disk by Windows Explorer open, accessing the computer and looking at the Type column for the reader.

  • Displacement of developer Photo setting between machines (external drive)

    Hello! I keep my RAW photos on an external drive. I only plug for use in Lightroom. I LR5 now but just bought a LR6 update. I recently got a new machine, I want to install LR6 on the new machine and then start using it. Is it possible to copy the developer settings picture and catalogs to the new machine? Thank you!

    You can simply move from one machine to the other catalog (lrcat).

    You can also place the catalog on the external hard drive with the RAW and connect it to the computer you want to work with.
