Lightroom CC imported from Aperture and folder structure ignored

I recently migrated to Apple Aperture 3.6 to Lightroom CC on my MacBook Pro 15 "10.10.3 running. I left the original referenced files in place on an external hard drive. All imported Lightroom with success, including using my Aperture libraries as sets. Unfortunately and frustrating, it imported each folder in my hierarchy carefully maintained as only the name of the worksheet.

For example, I have a folder with personal family photos stored on a hard drive named "PhotoMasters.

So as personal, were records for each year, in each year folder for each month and each month of the folders for each day.

I had the same structure to the professional title for paid shoots.

Now in Lightroom, I see an entry for each day.

I choose the option for the folder root to display 'path of Volume", which sorts them at least correctly, but I still have a separate line for each record sheet.

The files are properly organized on the hard drive, is it possible to have Lightroom uses the structure of file correctly?

BTW, the actual Aperture import/migration took about 30 hours of work, and that does not move the original images, as well as bonus points for a solution that doesn't require me to restart this process!

Thank you!

After a lot of searching around, I was able to discover the cause and solution. Apparently, in previous versions of Lightroom, there was a feature called "Add Parent folder" who moved to the display in Control Panel folder up one level. In Lightroom CC, this is what is called "Show Parent Folder" and she several applications of the command has allowed me to get a folder structure like what I expected.

  • Images imported from Aperture appear 'washed out' in Lightroom.

    I am aware that Lightroom is using ProPhoto RGB. When I export images from Aperture in a folder and then import them into Lightroom the images appear very different. Is there a setting I'm missing the images seem "washed" in Lightroom. When I export to the desktop and open it in Photoshop, they look the same as in the opening. After I import into Lightroom and opened in Photoshop they seem always washed out.

    New in Lightroom and try to find the right alternative to opening.

    Thanks in advance.

    You are probably right, there is a problem with color profiles and range.  Opening uses a different raw converter, which will create some variation.  In fact, a lot like the look of straight opening raw format conversions on straight conversions from ACR.  But if the washed-out look is dramatic and Photoshop opens your correct raw files, then it must be a matter of profile.

    It can help to explain how you export from Aperture.  Are your source files, raw, PSD, TIFF, or JPEG files?   Are the masters-exporter you, or you export versions?  If you export versions, take a look at your "source preset" when exporting.  What color profile you integrate?

    Although if you include any color profile, Photoshop and Lightroom must pick up.

    Everything I read is that Lightroom handles the profiles more transparent than Photoshop, but maybe someone could go on here and tell how it is managed.

    Finally, what purpose export you and import in Lightroom?  If you are migrating your library to a Lightroom Catalog, you can better served by using the plug-in migration opening.

    Opening import plugin now available

    The plug-in still has problems with foreign characters, import all the previews and face previews Keywords and keywording.  You will be better to wait until these problems are resolved.  Even if you can not, the plugin still would be a better option than a manual attempt, unless you do something else than the migration of your Aperture library.

  • A project that I created is no longer works.  All video clips .mpg who ask to be reimported, and when I try to import from its original folder, all the files are slim.

    I currently have iMovie 10.1.2 and OS 10.11.6.  All except a video clip in a compilation of long hours are black with an exclamation mark.  They have the error statement, that the file is missing, re-import the original source media.  The clips are all .mpg and had imported fine when I created the film project of the month of May.  When I try to use the function "Import Media" drop, and I go in the folder on the desktop files located in, all the original .mpg files are low.  The two pictures that were in the project appear on the lower part.  Oh, and I did all that stored on the cloud.  I also wanted to start a new project, part II, but all the source files show a similar dim for all .mpg files.  Apple decided not to allow the .mpg files in iMovie?  If so, what is my next step?

    iMovie accepts more mpg files. The easiest way to work with them is in the finder do a right-click on the mpg file and select "encode the selected video files. In the dialog box that appears, choose the desired conversion. The converted file appears in the import iMovie window, and you can import it.

  • Lightroom 6 - import of Aperture is lack of face recognition

    Hello

    After migrating my photos on my Mac to Aperture, Lightroom 6 I noticed that importation of images and folders work, but it lacks of face recognition. It is very annoying because I had hundreds of people marked in Aperture. So my question is: is it possible to also import the results of facial recognition Aperture LR 6 and if so how do you?

  • I don't want to use pictures. How can I import into Aperture and work around the Photos?

    I don't want to use Photos, but when I try to import photos from my camera to the opening, the computer switches me to the Photos automatically.  How can I avoid this and just stay with Aperture?

    At the launch of Photos, select the camera in the sidebar of the Import the import panel Panel.  Clear the check mark 'Open pictures for this device'. The next time you connect your camera, Photos should not, launch if you use the same card and do not reformat the card.

    And at the opening, turn on preference:

  • Questions of import file and folder display

  • I am running LR3 on Win 7 x 64. I have a few questions.

    1. I have a hard drive that is assigned to the drive letter "B:\. "Why the import file does not see this disc in the list of drives? I use "other readers" and to travel whenever I want add files to this disk. Other readers, including network drives are very good.
    2. When you import from a main folder and including subfolders, is there a way to filter the files in any way? Never, I want to import web galleries that I made in bridge, for example. These files have very small files JPG, thumbnails and web images. Is it possible to exclude consideration of form, while importers? Is there a way to reveal and display thumbnails with the folder structure? I don't want to have to go to each folder individually when I try to import all the useful images from an entire drive. If LR would show at least the structure of folders to subfolders when you select photos in a top-level folder, that would help. How can I do this?
    3. In the library folders view, how to filter on all the files in one disc? I can select a folder in the disc and see this whole file, but LR does not allow me to select the entire disk. Is there a way to do this?
    4. How can I view the entire folder structure in the laibrary Panel? Some files do not display their top-level folders that they are inside. How to reveal this information?
    5. In the library module, how can I filter on the dimensions of the file? I thought I had seen it, but I do not find that. Sort by the size of the file would also be an option to accomplish what I am trying to do. I need to remove all of the thumbnail images and tiny images of the catalogue. Is there an easy way to do this?
  • 2. in the import from a main folder and including subfolders, is there a way to filter the files in any way?

    You can uncheck the checkmarks next to folders in the Destination Panel on the right side of the import dialog box.

    3. in the import from a main folder and including subfolders, is there a way to filter the files in any way?

    You cannot select the disk, but you can select "All photos" at the top of the left panel. You can also shift-click all the top-level folders under a volume to select them all.

  • How to copy the folder structure in the WCC in another environment?

    Hi all

    I want to know, WCC has it a function to import or export the folder structure? Is it because I have several environments requiring installation with the same configuration and the structure of folders. It is quite time consuming at the same configuration of installation several times. It'll be great if I can copy and paste the setting in other rooms. WCC has this kind of function? If need can someone help to share the steps detailed here.

    Appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Are you looking for Folders_g or FF?

    If it is old, then you can go to Administration - file management - select - export the folder structure.

    It will create and download a file HDA.

    On the folder target, in the same menu as above - the import folder structure and which will create the folder hierarchy, as it is.

    If it FF, then archive - Select export options - Tables only - choose a table FolderFolders and Foldersmeta - export it.

    Use it to import from the target server.

  • Get Lightroom to Behave: import from a folder

    I have a structure of specific files that I use which is put in place. I create new folder for filming each day before moving to Lightroom to import images from a card reader. When I bought Lightroom, all I had to do is point Lightroom to the right folder of the import dialog that appeared when I plugged the card in the card reader. Now, Lightroom creates several subfolders in the "originals" folder where I want the images to go. This has probably to do with the way in which Lightroom is set up in the dialog box import, but first of all, I don't know how to get this dialog box not appear without going through pictures to import, that I have no right now and want to get it set up correctly for images will be new everything just go directly in the folder without additional folders being created. Is it possible that I can call this dialog, so I can see what settings there, without having to take pictures and insert the card?

    Click on import will open the dialog, but with nothing to import, you can not set the parameters in advance because they are based on what you have chosen in each import. In the import box, you have a load of different choices of import and place where. In your case, you must select the particular folder you want to place files with copy photos to the new location and add to the catalog in the box file and select in a single folder in the box to organize.

  • LR 5.7 - impossible to create a new folder and import photos in this folder [was: could Adobe Lightroom Fix so that it is functional?]

    I can't believe that after use adobe for years that lightroom can be this difficult to maneuver - please fix this intuitive user program. It is so far for simplicity of use. Please fix or return to support the opening. My images/files and folders are a total disaster.

    .. .you you create a folder and cannot import directly in this folder, etc.

    Perhaps the difficulty here, comes to design two sequential tasks, rather than one integrated task, for example:

    • Make a folder, manually put the pictures in there, then go and find this place AGAIN, for an import with TDA
    • Create a folder, and then to go and find this place again as an import with the copy destination

    No one who is attractive to me. Lightroom is IMO more useful when rationalizing away the boring stuff.

    LR can make the file for YOU and drop the images into that, according to your instructions, while import.

    "Let's say that my system was focused on the year at the top level, then the month, then records a day in this framework, each preceded the date in a format standard, so-called ' 2016 - 07 - 16. LR can run it for me immediately, as an automatic process of hands-free and without error. So if I want to, after import, I can add a descriptive text (customer, situation, whatever) on a given from LR folder name.

    Otherwise I want can I have LR just go a standard parent folder and then type a name of subfolder custom in the dialog import (Destination Board) in order to meet the specific needs of this - if not automated - import with a copy. Type in certain keywords lot too, perhaps.

    IOW: remember that an import preset to re - initialize the import settings and individualize then from there. But I prefer the former kind Setup that even if you do not individualize that is offered to all, always not something that auto-fichiers images in a useful and meaningful way. I do not customize folder names myself, so this just just there.

  • How can I move all messages and folders in 'Local folder' in the folder of my main account? The local stuff is to import from Outlook

    I imported my mail from Outlook, and they went into a local folders. I want that they in the main folder for the my account section. How can I move them there?
    For the moment, I create each folder and then copy the contents of one folder to another - crazy, and I have dozens of files

    DOH!

    After spending most of last night slowly moving the files from the Local level to the account that it's a little late for me to go back the other way, but what you suggested looks like it could work.
    Still seems simpler to 'right click' a folder and "move it" and all subfolders to have it move properly as well. Of course your test produces a different result for me. I wasn't able to drag all the folders with the sub folders and the contents of these subfolders go with it, only the contents of the main folder is gone.
    Still, as I said, I have now done most probably time call it a day on this topic and I hope that all similar problems see your answer above - cheers.

  • I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

    I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

    You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

  • How can I get my folder structure in Lightroom to replicate the structure of the folder on my hard drive?

    My problems is that after Aperture import, my Lightroom folder structure does not match the structure of my file on my hard drive.  In particular, instead of being structured as in my hard drive:


    2015 (folder)

    -> 2015 - 01 - 30 (subfolder)

    -> 2015 - 02 - 15 (subfolder)

    -> 2015 - 03 - 03 (subfolder)


    All picture files are listed separately as:

    2015 01-30

    2015-02-15

    2015-03-03


    In addition, a number of files have been created in the form 01a2a201aff9c8c684928629ea41221c0fa5930ab7 where no folder does exist on my hard drive in this form and the image contains the metadata on the right date.


    I have photos dating back to 2005 and a large number of photos on different days, that makes records discovers unmanageable.


    I finished the migration of the opening in two steps (that I have not enough space to reproduce images in motion through to Lightroom)


    1 move images original opening to be references to Managed (with the structure of the file above)

    2. then used the Lightroom plug in import library of the opening (which has been copied successfully through metadata and my folder structure + edits since Aperture)


    Does anyone know how to fix this?  In particular:

    (1) addition to the folder from 2015 to structure level?

    (2) removing all off the records 01a2a201aff9c8c684928629ea41221c0fa5930ab7?


    Many thanks in advance,


    Joe
