Importing photos with copy

Hello

I have a question about behavior if PHOTOS during import.  I'm about to change my preferences and I want to know what to expect.

1. my current photo library was created with NO use icloud photo library.  I'm going to leave it off.

2. my current library had also 'Copy items in the library of Photos' taken out of SERVICE.  So the result was that I just got links in my library in the DROBO folder where the pictures actually lived.  I then invested a lot of time to faces everything works fine.   However, the Drobo is SLOOOWWWW and my hardware is changing so...

3 I intend now to my library a new large SSD I'm about to install.  I would really now to copy every 100 GB or so images in my library to enjoy the speed and get a free backup copy in the process.  However, I really want to have to do all that FACES tuning again.

So, now the question.  If I go to PHOTOS prefs and turn on the "copy items to the box library", this will apply to the new photos imported or it will go to seek out those for whom a link only currently.  I guess it won't, but I hope.  If I reimport them once again, I'm afraid I'll get the pics in double... one for the link that is there now and another for the import copy.

If I have to, I'll start all over again, but here, I hope it is an easier way!  Suggestions, anyone?

Thank you

If I go to PHOTOS prefs and turn on the "copy items to the box library", this will apply to the new photos imported or it will go to seek out those for whom a link only currently.  I guess it won't, but I hope.

Turn on the "copy items to the Library check box' apply only for new photos that you import.

Copy the old originals in your select Photo library in Photos and use the command "file > consolidate."

Who will copy the originals in your photo library and transform the photos selected in managed photos.  All changes and faces tags will continue to work. And the original files will be stored safely in your library.

To quickly select all the photos that have to consolidate use smart albums.

Create a smart albums with "file > new smart album ' and set the constraint of the album 'Photo is referenced. This smart album will display all photos with original image files referenced.

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

    Thanks, I d/load the file and tested.

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

  • importing photos with video

    Using first 11 items, I have a video with audio in charge. I would like to import photos to overlay on the video, while the audio works continuously, so that the film alternates original video clips with pictures that I overlaid, but the soundtrack is not changed. Is this possible?

    Simply drag your images on a video track higher, and if they are of the same frame as the project size, they will replace the underlying video visually.

    Before you import the pictures, you can go to the Edit > Preferences and set the duration of the images fixed or you can always click on + drag on the tail of the alembic, to change the duration, according to your needs.

    Good luck

  • Import Photos with Image Capture

    Hi people, I do not know if I am posting this in the right forum. If this isn't the case, feel free to have moved him.

    I did some research trying to help this user and also to learn.

    Import all pictures (including photos from iTunes backup) iPhone to mac

    I have a Mac and a PC but I use the PC for my main photo library. When I import pictures from my iPhone to the PC using the Import Wizard, Windows 10 maintains a cache to remember photos that have been previously imported so that they don't re - import. I can post the path to the cache but it is useless, the cache is a file system, called "PreviouslyAcquired.db".  If I remove photos from my PC which have been imported and you want then re - import, I have to reset this cache (delete) so that the photos to import again. Otherwise the photos already imported are ignored and only new ones appear on the Import Wizard.

    The reason for this post is that I wonder if OS X (Photos or Image Capture) retains the same type of cache. I also wonder if this is the reason why the OP on the wire above cannot re - import the photos that have been restored from their old iPhone.

    So my questions are:

    (1) with OS X Image Capture, can a photo to reimport previously imported?

    (2) no OS X maintains a similar to Windows cache and if so where is it and how it is reset? I looked on my MBP 10.11.5 but nothing helped. It is obviously not the iPod Photo Cache - that one is associated with iTunes synchronizes only. I also started the Image Capture, but cannot see any parameter for this purpose.

    (3) I.C. will give me the opportunity to re - import if it imported the same before pictures? I could make an experience, but the bright minds here probably know the answers.

    Any info appreciated...

    I have found no Apple documentation on it, but when I use the Image Capture to import from a camera or card in a folder in the Finder, I can import the same items over and over again. There is no control for imports carried out previously.

    Only when I import using a photo app that maintenance photo library (Photos, iPhoto, Aperture) pictures will be checked for duplicates when importing.  But even with Photos, iPhoto, Aperture can I restore deleted photos by import since the device again, if I removed them from the library.

  • How to import photos with their attached keywords

    I'm new to Lightroom.  I have a large collection of photos which have already attached keywords.  How is - a import pictures have received assurances that key words will be imported in the catalog too?

    Helen,

    When LR import a photo, it also imports the metadata stored in the photo: camera and exhibition, title, caption, keywords, etc.  So if your photos have keywords stored in them, then LR will import them along with photos.

    It is quite easy to do a test to make sure that your photos are stored in the metadata keywords: start LR and just import one of your photos.

  • Problems to import photos with the Olympus EP1 art filters?

    I just purchased Lightroom 2.5 to work with my Oly PE1. I used 2 aperture for a few years with my Oly E3 before getting the Oly PEN, so I have no experience with LR.

    So... when I import my pictures from the camera in LR, the RAW files appear, but I can't access the companion JPEGs I've shot using the art filters. I admit willingly I don't know LR - I have a reference book on order - if I'm doing something obvious and easy to fix? Maybe a wrong setting that I don't know everything?

    In the preferences / Import, klick JPEGs to treat next to raw as separate photos files, then you will be able to see RAW and JPG with the same base name as part of the separated achievable in LR.

  • Import photos in photos - copy saved in the folder of Photos?

    Hello yinz,.

    Simple question - when I import a picture and add it to my library, it looks like there is a copy left in my "Photos" folder in addition to have in my library of Photos.  So in my current ' Photos' folder, I have thousands of images, a 13 concert (old) iPhoto library and a library of Photos 12 gig.

    I want to just make sure that I can get rid of everything, but the photo library and more.  They are just copies, correct?  Wanted to make sure I didn't delete anything, I need.

    Thank you!

    As long as you use a 'managed' library all the imported photos are copied to your library and those outside of the library can be deleted to free up space on the hard disk.

  • How to change the import settings when importing photos

    Changing the settings to import photo with Windows 7

    I want to change the import for my Canon camera settings when you import pictures using Windows 7.  I had already managed to do it once but to adjust settings again.  However, when I connect my camera to my PC, it starts automatically import photos based on the current settings with no option to change.  Please help - its driving me crazy!

    Microsoft seems to be lame on answering machine bugs here and just standard information messages, which of course do not work.

    A solution has been validated, in part, to david.gardiner.net.au/2010/02/changing-location-of-pictures-and.html. Maybe there is an easier way.

    In the Windows registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition

    There are a number of subkeys. For example, there is a subkey "Camera and Portable device."

    Return the next value of AcquisitionFlags to 0 x 82 in the registry key seems to restore the Import Wizard asking you to specify an optional tag and you click again on the link "Import settings":

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition\Camera and Portable device

    To make this change yourself, follow these steps (with the standard warning that change the incorrect Windows registry can completely ruin everything!):

    1. run regedit.exe
    2 navigate in the tree of the registry to find the following subkey:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition\Camera and Portable device

    3. double-click on the value "AcquisitionFlags".
    4. Type "82".
    5. click "OK" and close the registry editor

    I had to scan it for my Scanner in the category.

  • Develop the Import Preset with your car

    After the passage of the LR5 to LR CC, I think not being able to import photos with your car. I have a develop preset called "general" who uses your car and a few other settings and that was my default import preset for a certain time. Since switching to the CC, everything works except the auto tone. I tried the update the preset without change. The preset works great if I select the image and applicable after import.

    Today I tried to change the "auto Apply your adjustments" in preferences, and then later all of my photos imported with an exhibition between-5 and all the rest to zero.

    Could you please return to the previous Lightroom and then try to use the Preset to develop.

  • I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map. The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '.

    I had a problem with Lightroom on Microsoft Surface 3.  I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map.  The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '.  I worked around this by mounting a network directory containing photos and imported from there.  Is it possible to stop Lightroom to see such a map as a camera?

    I have not tested, but it should work with Lightroom:

    Not sure what happens if you remove the card and put in a similar SD card. I would like to test it so that you know what to expect.

  • Camera with GPS and Photos shows not all contact information when importing photos in pictures

    I have a Nikon AW130 with active GPS. While previously using iPhotos he always imported the exact location when you import photos. I'm using pictures and nothing appears under location. We are on a cruise on our sailboat and spend 10 months foreign traveling or diving in remote locations, geotagging is important. And I'm not geotag pictures of thousands that we take in a season of navigation manually. The Internet is also either not always available or slow and costly iCloud is not always possible. So what is the solution? Thank you.

    Photos will show the locations only, if the computer is connected to the internet after importing the photos. He needs a database of Apple connection to retrieve the names of places.  Pictures don't show latitude and longitude but a place name. If you have an internet connection, you should see a name of places and a small map in the Info Panel for photos.

    We are on a cruise on our sailboat and spend 10 months foreign traveling or diving in remote locations, geotagging is important

    Names of places in photos are not a great help in navigation.  Most of my photos of sailing is simply display "North Atlantic" or "Sea of Caribbean", such as the location, but the locations of the pins on the map are correct.  And if you export photos Tags the GPS will be integrated. Just, make sure that you enable empbed location information in the Photos of preferences > General.

    You can check if the GPS has been applied by the camera, if you export Photos photos, open in preview. The Info Panel in preview (Tools > Inspector) will tell you the GPS coordinates.

  • My camera has reached 9999 photos and started renumbering 0001 but in a different folder.  If I import new photos in iPhoto, the older photos with the same numbers are overwritten?

    My camera is renumbering pictures from 0001, but a new camera case.  If I import new photos in iPhoto, they replace the old photos with the same numbers?  The camera knows that they are in a different folder, but what happens when I import into iPhoto?

    iPHoto manages very well duplicate file names - each import is in another folder in the database - no problem
