Re-importation of the pictures already in the catalog

I'm trying to re - import photos that have been moved from my old Mac G5 to my new mac.  They were previously in Adobe PhotoAlbum.

Because the photos are not in the records of the date in the folder "photosfromG5/2001", I would like to re - import to a new location in the catalog, for example.» 2001 and having LR automatically creates metadata for example date records. 31/05/2001

I do successfully a few months ago using the feature import and make and it worked fine.  Now after a few months, I can't do the same thing!

Any suggestions? I use LR 3.4.1

Thank you

Denise

Denise,

I think you need to move the images first to a different location (or rename the folder containing temporarily) and uncheck the box 'Don't Import suspected double'.

  • Export a collection of catalog and import into the catalog of my work on my iMac, color labels are missing.

    During my project for my photography class, I have to shoot on site and edit the best photos with the model, on my MacBook. At home on my MacBook I export the collection newly created to a catalog (including negative files), copy the directory with the catalogue all the other files over the network and import the catalog into my standard catalog on my iMac. On my iMac, all the imported photos color labels went into my standard catalog, and very strange, color labels have also disappeared when I open the catalogue exported (and copied) on my iMac. Did I miss something?

    I don't think it's something to do with the copy over a network.

    My guess is that you have to look at metadata > color label set. Try to compare the settings on both computers. If they are different, a computer do not know what the other means red, yellow etc.

  • All of a sudden, I can't import all of the photos from my camera. I can see them in the preview, but when I click on import null then imports in the catalog. I've tried several different cards, nothing will matter.

  • Import the catalog - only images not file folders

    On the road, I make a temporary LR catalog and store the images in subfolders (e.g. particular State Park etc.).  When I get home I want to import images into specific folders in my archive main.  Some of the files already exist, or can I not want to use a different name, I don't want to create additional subfolders.  How can I me LR to only import images to the location I specified?

    LR seems always to import folder encompassing also as new subfolders contained in the location you choose in the importation of the Catalog dialog box.

    When you import pictures from the trip catalog, you do a generic import or a "catalog import"?

    If you perform an import of generic, you may need to copy the directory tree of your images using the Explorer/Finder, and then perform an import 'Add '.

    If the 'import from catalog', you may need to look at the file manages the settings in there.

  • Import from an another that partially worked catalog

    I imported a catalog and the pictures from my MacBook to my iMac, and only some of the photos imported into the catalog of my iMac.

    In the Finder iMac, I can see all the photos, but only some of them appear in Lightroom 5.  I tried to import the missing photos by selecting the records at issue, but missing photos do not arise at import.  For example, in one folder, 50 pictures are greyed out so they have supposedly to import, but the library shows only 35 pictures.

    How can I force LR to find the missing photos?

    Thank you

    Hey, Cliff,

    If Lightroom presents the images as when importing grayed, it means that they are already present in the catalog.

    It could be possible that they are present in the other folder and not to the search in.

    You should do a test search for either of these images.

    Select all photographs under catalog Panel in the library module > activate the text filter > type the name of one of these images and check if Lightroom displays the result.

    If so, order click on this picture > choose go to folder in the library and it will show you the folder where this image.

    From the library module, look for the image with the same filename and see where LR think there already.

  • 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.

  • What is the catalog in Lightroom? is that what I imported pictures

    I'm trying to import a photo, but when I try to import Lightroom says that it is already in the catalog. I can't find a way to search the catalog for the image I'm looking for. Under Catalog in Lightroom, there is a folder called all photographs. It says I have 37 757 photos. Did somehow inadvertently import everything on my computer? Thank you.

    There used to be a great set of tutorials made by a man named George. They were the best tutorials for a novice to use Lightroom, but I can't find them more.

    Thanks JimHess. This Adobe TV link has been a great help. I would have to argue, however, that the catalogue is a compilation of all the pictures I imported in Lightroom and not only a database of all the images on my computer. And in some way I accidentally imported each image on my computer there are a all kinds of graphic images and photos in the catalog in the folder all photographs. Also I did not 37 000 photographs downloaded to my computer, but I 37 000 thumbnails in my catalog.

    In any case thanks for the link. I was looking for a tutorial of George Jardine I had looked at before, which covered the same info, but for some reason some went underground and I can not find.

    And since I am new to Lightroom and import all images without sorting them in files or setting up metadata and protocols of copyright, is possible that I could remove all the image links that are now in my catalog, so I can start over?

    Thanks again

  • How to import matches external selection to images already in the catalog?

    I have a selection of highlights that have been created outside the Lr, but the content is already in the catalog. Now, I want to have the nail inside Lr as a collection, but how to make the choice of the highlights in Lr?

    It seems that the pictures of the "Star" are not in a Lightroom Catalog and copies are moved to another computer (although the original photos are indeed in a Lightroom Catalog). If this is correct, then I don't think Ian suggestion would work. It may be possible to create a small catalogue from the 'flagship' pictures and then file-> import from catalog.

  • LR is important only the first 5 pictures

    Hello!

    I'm trying to import my pictures from my Canon EOS1000D but LR import only the first 5 pictures and said then he couldn't read the others. So I close LR and reconnect my camera. Then I can re-import only 5 photos.

    Of course I had write permission otherwise, he couldn't import anything. 187 GB of free space.

    Import with Picasa or directly from the SD card works fine in the same directory. It should therefore do something with LR I guess.

    Edit: also, I installed the latest version of LR 6.4

    Edit, Edit:

    Now, I find the problem. It seems that there is a problem with the USB cable or Port. I used a different cable and Port, and now the import worked well.

    Thank you

  • Not able to open Lightroom "the catalog cannot be imported because it is already in use by another copy of Lightroom.

    Möchte ich meinen LR-Katalog von meinem iMac auf einen importieren neugekauften PC. Dabei erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung is ' "Katalog Der kann nicht importiert werden, da er von einer other Lightroom copy verwendet wird already '." Was kann ich tun?

    To move the catalog to a new computer, you do not need to import using Lightroom, you can copy the entire folder to the new location.

    I use LR5.7 based on Windows 7 and got a few pictures 150 000 in a catalugue. Could import, export and rendering speed be increased, if I store the LR catalog on the same drive as my photos? Today, the program, the catalog and photos are all on different drives.

    Import and export and rendering speed depends on the CPU. The disk contributes only a negligible amount to import and export and rendering speed. You would spend more time to pass the photos that you would gain in speed.
