  I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

  I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

  You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

  Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.

• Overview of the need for "do not import duplicates".

  Smart of Lightroom, but I do not know how, why etc how this happens:

  I have the "do not import duplicates" option checked when I import new shooting sessions. My sessions are jpeg and RAW formats because that's the way I shoot (for both.) I see only one image for each shot in LR even though the RAW and jpeg are side by side in the same folder. I think that I see only the RAW image in LR. Someone here can give me a little more information on how Lightroom jpeg file name, don't even know if she has a different extension, and is also a different, but the same image file?

  Thank you

  My thoughts were "glory, Halleluja, I never have to mess with files duplicate again" (which means Raw + Jpg). I don't know if there is a way to synchronize all changes and metadata for the combo of RAW + JPEG, but for me at least, it's way more simple just create JPEG files when if and as required. Then I know that I'm pulling of the most uptodat and best source file. YMMV!

• IPhoto import, duplicates Handeling

  I heard that when you import an iPhoto library in pictures, Photos provides assistance to the detection and removal of the photos in the iPhoto library double.

  Is this correct?

  If so, how does this work?

  I tried to search for this topic, but Apple did a great job naming their new photos Photos app you get only as 1 billion hits back of a simple search.

  Thank you.

  NO.

  1. you NEVER import a library - it doesn't work and creates a huge mess

  2 when you migrate an iPhoto library form the photos is not duplicate check - it migrates exactly what you have in iPhoto

  3. When you import pictures from the desktop or a camera it does not check if the duplicates

  4. you can buy controls duplicate programs - tested safe are - I suggest that you do not use an untested program because some of them damage or destroy your library

• Photos will detect when import duplicate photos?

  I am about to help a friend import a large collection of photos (some from iPhoto, others in random places) in a library of Photos on his brand new iMac. There are probably a lot of duplicate photos, then we are interested in to find them and delete multiple copies of the same photo.

  in general - but it is not always perfect

• When importing duplicate folder

  I recently got a new Macbook Pro 13 "and upgraded to LR 6, I moved my library without problem but when I import photos into a folder LR creates a duplicate outside of the original parent folder folder."  I can't move the photos in the right folder, since technically they are already there! The pictures on my hardrive are in the correct folder, but LR creates just a duplicate folder name?  Help please!

  Hi jonathanb,.

  When you import the image in Lightroom, you must choose the Option 'Add' instead of copy.

  See the screenshot below.

  

  Let us know if that helps.

• Cannot set 'do not import duplicates presumed' default value

  Seems very basic it should do. I think I have set "do not import suspected duplicates" whenever I have import photos (using Add). No there is no way to define a default?

  Thank you!!!

  Mine has never been changed, it is possible that your preferences file is corrupted. You can try either rename or delete the preference file, and then try again. File locations are preferred: preference and other locations of files in Lightroom 5

• Suddenely import duplicates - why?

  I use Lightroom 2.7 (and earlier versions) for years, and I've never had this problem before:

  Time "file/import Photos from device...". ' and ' file/import Photos from Disk... ". "imported * everything * photos in the connected device or the selected folder on the my last two attempts, even if most of the photos were double and I * was * check the box"don't re - import suspected duplicates. "  When I watched the catalogue, then I saw copies of the same pictures in the same catalog directories.  In each case, several months elapsed between the original imports and duplicate.

  In the case of the camera, I don't see how something on the image files would have changed.  In the case of the disc, it's a new CD - R which I transferred the images for the second time.  The images themselves have not changed, although the "Date modified" files on the CD - R has.

  Latest twist: I just tried to re-importation of the same images that last, CD - R (after deletion of the duplicate in first and this time Lightroom recognized them as duplicates (of those imported months ago!) and has not re-imported.)

  I checked the forum and found a similar thread at " " http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3287374#3287374 ', but it does not provide all the answers. "  I've been back up my catalog periodically, and automatic checks have never reported any problem.

  Any ideas? -JClarkW

  Well, no, the camera does not change the file names.

  This problem could be due to a corrupted preferences file. This file can go 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of strange behavior of Lr. The repair is to replace the preferences file.

  BTW: Resettlement Lr does not replace the file prefs, since it seeks to 'survive' updates.

• Lightroom not allowing me to import duplicates of tif

  Hello!

  History - long boring, but I have shot and edited a number of images in lightroom, then open from lightroom in PS and made a final editing and saved as TIFF in a folder outside of lightroom.

  Now, I would like to re - import these images into lightroom, but lightroom does not allow - I think because they are duplicates of images already in lightroom. However, I unchecked "Import suspected duplicates and it STILL does not." I can't understand why.

  I'm on a Mac, under 10.6.8. Lightrom 3.6 and Photoshop CS5.

  I don't know how to attach a screenshot here, but essentially all of the images are 'grey' so that they cannot be checked and imported

  Thanks for any help at all!

  Ellen

  When you export images for editing in PS, Lightroom passes your image to Photoshop. When you save (or save as) of the PS, the resulting image is added to your catalog, even if you save to a different folder. This is why it won't let you import. You try to import a file that is already where you try to import to. It's already there, so you need not import it.

  It. I saved a step in your workflow.

• How to avoid to create images when importing duplicate?

  I doubt that it is the correct method or better to import/organize my photos, because it creates additional work I would like to avoid.  I'm looking for a solution.

  I do the following:

  • Copy all my photos from my SD card in my folders organized on my external hard drive.
  • Open Lightroom and import photosfrom my external hard drive.

  What happens is that Lightroom creates an image duplicated on my Mac in my pictures folder. At this point, he referred to this directory and not my external hard drive. What I end up doing deletes the pictures in my photos folder.  So I connect all my photos in Lightroom on my external drive.

  As you can imagine, it becomes tedious to do this every time I have import in Lightroom.

  My idea situation is Lightroom NOT to reproduce images or put them in any folder, but simply refer to those that I chose when importing to my external hard drive.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  It's probably because you select the option COPY the top of import dialog when you should be by selecting the Add option.

  COPY the images of copies from one place to another and to import them.

  ADD add just the images in the LR catalog where they are currently.

  There is also the possibility of "make the second copy to:" on the side right of the dialog import but this option is only available with either COPY it, MOVE or COPY as DNG options. You need to add the option to add images in the catalog file LR in the place where they are already on your external drive.

• Import duplicates

  I previously imported photos into LR. I deleted the project, but now I need to work on it again. The pictures are still on the SD card. I can't import as LR shows the photos are on the program. I check the file, not there. Is there a way to get around this? I also want to convert the .dng files

  OK, A folder is set according to your instructions.

  Now I see what the problem is with folder B. This question all began when I moved the catalog of a smaller drive on the current drive. Earlier you helped me to solve the problems here. The missing folder was not copied to the new drive. I found when I reconnected the old smaller disk. I copied the folder in the catalog on the new disk using Explorer, then sync'd. All right.

  Thank you for your patience and finally resolve this.

• Import of duplicates with "Add" in Lightroom 2015.2.1 is not possible.

  Import of duplicates with "Add" in Lightroom 2015.2.1 is not possible.

  I have try to add photos on my hard drive for the catalogue of lightromm since the new version of Lightroom. But Lightroom says that are duplicates of already existing photo and does not matter to them. Yes they are duplicates that are in other folders, but in older versions, it was possible to slect or deselect 'import duplicates. " I can't find this option more. Where is he? Maybe you can help me. Thank you very much.

  Best regards

  Hi [email protected],

  The option to "Import suspected duplicates" has been deleted since the last release of Lightroom CC 2015.2.1.

  However for re-import images in Lightroom, you need to rename the images in Lightroom and then import them.

• Setting the folder for imported images

  Hi all

  I use the newest Lightroom on my German computer Win10 and the right at the beginning, I put the import folder to D:/AdobeData. Which was fine for a few weeks.

  This time.

  Today I put in my SD card, start the import and suddenly noticed that the files don't land in the D:/AdobeData folder as always, but rather somewhere in my "my pictures" (= Meine Bilder) on my C: drive.

  1 how Lightroom decided for me to change the folder?

  2. How can I change it back, because I searched the menu several times already and I do not find this option.

  PLEASE HELP ME!

  Because I hate this piece of $% & § $% & software already :-(

  Kind regards

  Theo

  PS: Excuse my English, but there is no support for German customers option, I was redirected to this forum.

  It must be because the 'Add' option is selected.

  The ability to change 'To' appears when you select copy, copy as Move or DNG and which is useful when you import from sd card.

  If the images are already on your hard drive and you want they are transferred to folder D:\AdobeData, then you must select 'Move' [these options rise up in import window Center]

  And make sure you're not duplicating. You may have to "do not import duplicates alleged" checked.

• RAW and JPEG on the disk, only import RAW files?

  I shot some photos this morning, and the camera is set up to generate a RAW and JPEG file (if it's a difference, the camera is a Panasonic Lumix GX1). I copied all the files from the SD card to a folder on an external HARD drive and then tried to import into Lightroom.

  In the import dialog box, the only files he showed me import were the RA2 (Panasonic RAW) files, not JPEG files. My first thought was that he decided my name do not import duplicates - but the file names are the same, but extensions are different and the file sizes are different. Why LR would consider that these are duplicates?

  Any thoughts on how to get my RAW and JPEG imported?

  Hello

  Greetings!

  Yes, there is a setting in the preferences.

  Open Lightroom

  Click on edit-> preferences-> Genaral or Lightroom (Windows)-> preferences-> General (MAC)

  Check the box below and click ok and relaunch lightroom.

  Now import and check.
