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

  • My iPhone does not to import! How can I appear in the Photos and delete those that are already imported?

    My iPhone does not to import! How can I appear in the Photos and delete those that are already imported?

    My iPad appears fine with an option to import the 'new' photos and then delete them once they are imported. However my iPhone appears not at all on the pictures. Although most is already imported via the cloud, some are not, but more importantly, I would remove at least half of 30 000 photos that are taking place on my phone and a "clear items after button import" would be nice right now! I tried to turn off photo stream on my phone, but it still does not appear in the application.

    What can I do?

  • Why is the catalog in Lightroom much bigger than 5 Lightroom CC

    I'm experimenting Lightroom CC on a Mac. I used Lightroom for years and Lightroom 5 catalog consisted of about 4 GB. When it was converted by the CC, it is now almost 16 GB. The settings for previews are the same and the number of photos and videos in the catalog is the same. Any ideas?

    Thank you all for the suggestions. I just renamed the file lrcat previews and restarted Lightroom and the Preview file has been recreated and is now a very reasonable 15MB. I assumed that the previews need has been corrupted somehow during the process of upgrading of 5 CC problem sorted. Thanks again. John

  • 2 versions of the catalog after lightroom 6 install

    After installing 6 Lightroom I now seem to have 2 versions of my catalog - the original called Lightroom5.lrcat and another called Lightroom5 - 2.lrcat.  As they are large (more than half of a concert) I'm sure removing the old catalog that I removed 5 Lightroom to my machine?

    Yes, you are sure to remove the old catalog. I suggest that you create a backup of the new before you delete the old one, unless you have other backups.

  • What is the maximum number of images that you can import as a sequence in first Pro CC

    I do a lot of big engineering according to time is lapses that may include anything between 3 and 12 thousand images. When I import into Premiere Pro CC as a sequence - only about a 1/3 rd seem to be included in the imported sequence.

    Has anyone previously met and is it possible that I can work around the problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    OK... after having looked closely for files that are created by the GOPRO it would seem that the problem all by using the original sequential file names. I found that if I rename the files during import (Lightroom) to something simple like TL1, TL2.jpg etc, then I can import the entire sequence without any problem.

    Thanks to Shooternz and Jim for their suggestions.

  • Recover the catalog from lightroom mobile

    Hey there!


    My macbook was stolen, just at the time when I returned from my trip to Iceland and I lost my photos
    BUT before flying, I enabled synchronization between lightroom desktop and mobile. This means that all my photos are still on my ipad, but I can't find a way to re-download them automatically to my Lightroom catalog on my new macbook. Is there a way to do this?

    You are my last hope!

    Hello

    Could not find a way to re-download them automatically to my Lightroom catalog on my new macbook. Is there a way to do this?

    The answer is No.Your the images synced on your iPad are just smart previews of your original images and cannot be recovered or treated as a backup copy of your images.

    Collections containing these images are present on our servers until they are be synchronized there by your office. Lightroom Mobile does not act as a container of storage for your files.

    Kind regards

  • Accidentally deleted the file from Lightroom. Can't re - import and catalog is still full?

    So I may have to learn something of the hard, but hope that there may be a solution. I was storing my folder structure when I went to remove a folder empty and accidentally deleted my pictures of main root folder. I do not support upward as as much as I should and are now afraid I lost all those images of the catalouge. However, as you can see on the photo my catalouge said still there 22033 photographs in, and if I click on the catalouge all my photos are indeed there with the changes attached to them they are just not in a folder structure. In addition, when I go to re-import the root folder all images are grayed out and I can't select them, even if I uncheck the import suspected duplicates box. How can I get my file structure back or I'm in trouble?

    Thank you

  • New Macbook pro with new Lightroom 5 CC will not import pictures.  Can't read.  Lightroom on the phone people are unable to understand.

    I could not import new images into Lightroom 5 on a brand new Macbook Pro.  Lightroom 4 works fine, but the new Creative Cloud Lightroom 5 says that the images are unreadable.  The folks at Adobe have yet to be able to understand by phone and I find myself waiting for too long.  The images will be important in IPhoto so no problem. All are of the FIRST.

    You must check in the Finder using get info (command-I). Make sure that the destination you set in Lightroom has permission to write to you. Also check that the destination is really in the right place and not trying to write to a folder root on your main hard drive or something like double.

  • How can I remove photos from my iPhone that were already imported pictures?

    Hi all

    The camera on my iPhone now has 2000 + photos on it which have already been imported. photos (not iPhoto). At least I am sure that I imported the. Photos knows that they have been imported, but I see no easy way to just delete the photos that have already been imported. What should do?

    I ran a test, import of some of them and by checking the box "delete after importing", and it was successfully deleted photos off the phone. BUT each of the imports is now duplicated in my photo library. What a drag! I don't want to have to go manually by the bias of 2000 + photos, manually remove duplicates when Photos already know that they were already imported at first.

    In iPhoto, you can plug in your phone, import your photos but not the remove immediately after the import, and the next time you connect your phone, iPhoto would say "XX pictures have already been imported. You want to remove them? "It's ideal for cautious people who wanted to verify that the photos had successfully transferred before deleting.

    Any help? Is there something that I am missing in Photos?

    Thank you. -Josh

    You can selectively remove from your phone with the Image Capture (in the Applications folder).

  • How to see the list of keywords is complete when you import pictures?

    When you import photos, I want to add selected keywords from my complete list of keywords. That would help me not to add new keywords where I can use an existing one.  I think I used to be able to see it, but do not remember how I accessed.  Thank you.

    I'm sure that the import dialog box does not have this feature. I think you need to do the import and then in the library Module, you can use the more complete list.
