Lightroom brings names of files with importing Photos?

I asked a question yesterday and he said (thank you, the answer was very helpful) but I do not know how to find the question once again.  Here's my new question.  I exported all my pictures from PICTURES in a folder on the desktop as suggested.  I have to spend time organizing these photo in the configuration of the album I used? Or does even Lightroom take this information?  I don't want to spend hours to reorganize on my desk just to have to do the same in Lightroom.  Maybe its just and easier to import as a piece of photos create games collection & collections from this "bump".  Any advice?

I have sought in fact about an hour and can't find an answer to this anywhere on the web.

With LR, your photos are not "in" LR or the catalog. Your pictures are on your hard drive and referenced by LR by using file and path names.

If you do arrange files by folders, it is easier to do before you import the image into the LR catalog.

Move the folder on the desktop and in your "pictures" folder is suggested because the office is never a permanent location where people leave things and because it is easier to move the image before importing.

When you perform an import, you can have your files handled in two ways:

(1) ' Add' - leave the files where they are, just add the entries to the catalog. Used when you already have the images in folders where you want.

(2) "copy" - LR copy images from their current location (normally a memory card) and puts them on your hard disk in folders normally organized by date, but you can suggest another organization.

    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.

  • How can I put names of files with my screen saver pictures?

    I would like to show the names of files with screen saver slide show

    I would like to show the names of files with screen saver slide show

    Hello

    This feature was available in the My Pictures Slideshow Screensaver in Windows XP, but this screen saver is not included in Windows 7.

    If you have access to a system with XP installed, you can copy the

    C:\Windows\System32\ssmypics.scr file and place it in the same folder on the Windows 7 system and it will work similarly as in XP.

    If you do not have access to a Windows XP system, you can download the file ssmypics.scr on the following link.

    http://www.dsi123.com/download/screensavers/ssmypics.SCR

    If you have the 32-bit version of Windows 7, copy the file to the folder c: Windows\System32.

    If you have the 64 bit version of Windows 7, copy the file to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder.

    Do a right click the desktop and select Personalize / Screen Saver icon.

    In the screen saver options, it will be displayed as my slide show of photos. Click the settings for the options button.

    New to Lightroom 6.  Were able to import photos previously. Now when I try to import Photos and videos, I specify a folder that contains a mixture of NEF and JPG images, and thumbnails will appear.  However, they are grayed out. When I hit Import, I get a message that says no. Photos import active.

    This means that you have previously imported these pictures/videos into Lightroom, and you must not (and are not allowed to) import them again.

    Go to your library Module (not the import dialog box) and find the photos, then you can make use of them in any way you want in Lightroom.

  • Problem with importing photos to Lightroom CC

    Hello

    When I try to import photos from my hard drive to Lightroom CC, it just hangs. I kill the importation and he said: no photos or something like, but then LR does not start again until what I restart the PC. I tried this several times with the same result

    I think that the catalog can be altered, although not say so LR. I don't know how to restore the catalog even though I have backups. I tried to open one of the backups directly by navigating, unzip the file, but got a similar result.

    A few questions come to mind:

    How to restore the catalog

    the catalogue is very large - it's time to archive some of the old photos - the best way to do it?

    Try to remove the videos from the camera card or a record of entry and import again.

    You didn't answer my question about thumbnails appear in the Lightroom Import dialog box

    Photos and some videos open OK in Windows Explorer.

    This means that the other videos do not open OK in Windows Explorer?

  • Lightroom CC2015 - why PC crash when importing photos in Raw format?


    I used Lightroom CC 5 installed on my PC (Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit). Everything worked fine without any problem. After installing the new version of Lightroom 6 I had problems with unexpected stops of the PC.

    I took the following measures:

    1 / the uninstall Lightroom CC2015-problem still remained.

    2 / the Lightroom 5 uninstalling and re-installing Lightroom CC2015 - problem still remain.

    3 / the Lightroom CC2015 uninstall and remove all files associated with Lightroom

    4 / re-installing Lightroom CC2015 and start to import the photos in JPEG format - worked fine and no problem occurred

    5 / starting import Canon Raw format photo and PC crashed during construction to the top of the smart Collections. Repeated step and PC crashed again.

    Otherwise no problem with laptop computer PC Elite / 8 GB / 64 Bit OS and NVIDIA Quadro FX 7800 M of RAM

    What other measures do you propose to get rid of this problem?

    you have any Application under the name of PC wizard 2015 installed on the computer, try to disable it or if it is possible can you delete it.

    looking at the crash report, it seems that could cause the problem.

  • How to avoid accepting of names of files with windows 7! ?

    older programs have problems with file names that have certain characters in them, in order to avoid compatibility problems are causing the more recent additions to windows 7 in the office how to change the setting to prevent users from file naming using these characters?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent Windows 7 to accept the valid special character. Until you use / possible valid characters he will have no problems with Windows.

    Here is the list of characters allowed and NOT allowed characters in Windows.

    The following special characters are allowed in the names of files and folders:

    ! # $ % & ' ( ) + , - .

    ; = @ [ ] ^ _ ` { } ~

    These special characters are NOT allowed in the names of files and folders:

    " * / : <> ? \ |

    Probably problems will arise if the file names or folder containing any of the following characters.

    If you attempt to download a file that contains one of these characters, you will receive an appropriate message. You will then need to rename the file before you can download successfully.

    Note:

    You cannot start a file name or a folder with a space (empty). White left will be deleted from the file name or folder

    I use Windows to import images from my camera (Canon Rebel EOS) to the computer (HP) and display them in the Windows Photo Gallery.  Recently, the photos in the Gallery become corrupt once downloaded, which means they download fine then when I open "Images" to see in the Gallery, they photos each are corrupted with ribbons of various colors, or the image is cut into strips to compensate.  It didn't happen when I uploaded the same photo files to another computer so I know that is not the fault of the camera or individual files.  I scanned for a virus (I use AVAST).  Can I fix this, or is there any other software I should use to download files?  I'm just a MOM ol ' ordinary looking to transfer the zillions of photos that I take my children.  Help!
