Why do I need to import existing photos?

• IMPORT EXISTING 'Photo library'

  LightroomCC just purchased/installed on Mac with the latest version of OSX El Capitan. I already have an existing 'Photo' library on my folder on the drive hard 'photos '.

  I need to 'import' these pictures in the Lr catalog but the file > plugin route does not work as my library's picture not iPhoto!

  Tried to use the import pane, followed by player > user > pictures but the library does not appear in the list of content in the images, even if it is there through the Finder. There is, as I can still use it.

  I just want to fill the catalogue with existing photographs.

  Any thoughts?

  I'm not a geek, but used the opening for many years.

  You mean Photos Apple (S at the end).

  You must copy, maybe move, the Masters folder in the package folder Photos Library.library to another folder on your hard drive. Then you can import them into LR.

  None of the changes you have made in Photos Apple will be included, but at least you'll have your images in a program that does not take full control of their.

  To access this folder of masters, you will need to right-click on this package of library and select to display the contents of the package. It will then develop in a few other cases being the masters record. Just copy/move it to another folder you create on your drive.

• Why Lightroom has continued to import my photos?

  Lightroom has ceased to import photos to any source that I use, reader of cards, direct from the camera, external hard drive or from the hard drive of computers!

  He repeats to me only that the "file can not be read!" I've had no problems so far. Why?

  Please notify.

  Hi Edwind,

  It seems a problem with the permissions on the destination folder,

  Please try to change the Destination folder, or give it to read and write permissions on the folder where you want to import the images.

  Kind regards

• Re-import existing photos?

  I would like to re - import photos LR tells me are already in a catalog and therefore will not let me import them. I'm sure they are already in the catalog, but I don't know where and I don't want to find them. How do I get around this? Thank you!

  If the pictures are already in the catalog, then there is no advantage to the re-entry, more significant prejudice there (you would have to edit the photos re-imported). So, please, as a tip for the future, do not consider re-import a solution.

  The solution to your problem is to find photos in your catalog. Please complete all of these steps and you will find your photos.

  1. Go to the library Module (not the import screen)
  2. -> Select Photo-stacking > expand all stacks
  3. Disable all filters (once or twice Ctrl-L)
  4. Click on all of the photographs in the catalog Panel on the left
  5. Search for one of your photos by file name in the filter bar (using the backslash to turn it on if she does not appear)

  In the future, to use Lightroom and avoid this problem, you must use a method to organize the photos... I recommend using keywords and other metadata, but some people use folders... and then use this method of organization to make finding your photos easy.

• LR5: Why can't import my photos again after use for editing in Lightroom?

  Hello!

  A week ago I just changed 800 photos from my last vacation in Lightroom 5.2. After have exported them, I noticed that I don't check the quality parameters for export, so I tried to import the files of origin again.

  And this is where I have questions right now. I can not open them more. If they are available, they are shaded in grey and are not selectable:

  

  To return to the original holiday file, it seems to me that it is only possible to import these photos I did not choose to edit in Lightroom before:

  

  I tested other original files of photos I've already edited in Lightroom and they work. It is only on these holiday photos. The export, images holiday edition appear in Lightroom to import. It seems that Lightroom has problems with the original that has been imported to Lightroom once files. An update to 5.6 LR did not help. Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Patrick

  You don't re - import photos into Lightroom. There is no need to do it and it would only cause problems.

  For those photos that you can not import, you can just find them in the library Module and continue to use (if you want to export again in different settings, then you export from the existing photo in the library module)

• Why Lightroom 6.2 stop import when it reaches 1800 photos?

  I've been using LR since LR4, but on a Windows laptop and never had difficulty in importing the photos. I bought a MacBook Pro and have 11K photos in a folder "Images" with 30 + folders inside the images folder in the Finder. When I try to import files and photos in LR6.2 it works perfectly until 1800 photos have been imported in their different folders and then LR stop importation. This has happened several times and I can not understand how to fix it.

  6.2 Lightroom's import and export major problems. I took the suggestion of uninstalling Lightroom and going back to 6.1.1 Adobe. Finally, everything works as it should.

• Importing files photo keeping files in existing folders.

  Photoshop Elements 6

  Windows 7, 64-bit

  All the images in folders and subfolders on the hard drive.

  New instalation of Photoshop Elements 6

  I can import all photo files, but they do not appear in the records.

  How can I import and retain current orginzation?

  Or do I have to reorganize?

  Thanks for your help.

  To switch to the folder view, use the display of the menu (top-right) and choose the location of the folder. Or use the shortcut Ctrl Alt 3.

  The organizer of elements (any version) does not alter the location of the files in your folders. It saves only the locations in its database.

  Or do I have to reorganize?

  Not necessary, you can leave your picture files where they are now, like most of the users of organizers. To organize logically, not physically, better use of all the tools like tags, albums, batteries, games version... They do not change the location of your files in folders.

• How to import existing images from iPhoto into LR4?

  Tutorial Adobe TV said to import existing images into LR4 using the 'Images' folder, but iPhoto does not use this place.  Import of iPhoto options are "grayed out".  How this is achieved without moving pictures from iPhoto to a Document file?  Who wouldn't be difficult, take forever and come outside iPhoto 'actuality' and any other file organization?  You have to move previously organized iPhoto images separately, that sounds like a real pain?  This indicates that the LR4 has all the features for Mac?  I know have used iPhoto seems stupid, but I could get away with it when booting with good shots of the camera.  In addition, as a photographer of long date to a lot of different subjects, I 4 700 photos in iPhoto, including 2,400 of several trips to Paris.  This number does NOT represent a problem to not remove the poor images: I run continuous/burst on shots of candid people, wildlife and sport, giving a little to a number of good and different frames per output.  Like many, I have also let customers choose among many, in addition to keep those I consider the best.  I also keep a lot in order to provide retailers with a good selection of what they want to do.  What should I do to transfer to iPhoto to LR, and how difficult and tedious might?

  Hi Tim,.

  4. what still bothers me, is that I am doubling of the amount of space that I use if I pull every 185 gigabytes of photos dating back to 1998 iPhoto to LR.

  5. so my question is simpy is there a way of not having to create a whole new batch of thousands of photos so that LR can work with them? In addition to reading the posts, I see that someone said to make an alias in your iPhoto library and then rather off select copy select Add instead. This way you do not have a lot of extra space and only reference the photos already in the iPhoto library, which, in my case, has been moved to the larger HARD drive and player off the SDS drive which is my boot drive. I have not tried this yet, because I fear that my light room 4 catalog file is big and I'm back where I started. Is it possible to move my LR catalog file to my HARD drive instead of keeping it in my Pitctures folder in my user on my SSD drive folder?

  It makes no sense to manage your images in iPhoto both in LR.

  If you really want to, then Yes, it is advisable to double them, there will be no interference.

  Why not double them for now (on your hard drive, no SSD) and see later if you like LR enough to give up their iPhoto?

  You can place your catalog LR = *.lrcat file where you want to. Clicking it will open in LR. You can then select in the preferences to always open the last catalog, or more precisely of this catalogue, at the opening of LR.

  The catalog file will become too big. mine is about 1.5 GB for some 110'000 images.

  Which takes much more space is the folder with the previews that will create a LR. The amount depends on your tastes and your speed needs.

  I don't want to wait for "Loading"... "in the library module I dedicate some space in the folder of the previews (actually ca. 100 GB!), because I put the size of the preview wholesale in the dimensions in pixels for a big screen and high quality. This is because I use a laptop and want to be able to show images because of their preview when I travel, without having my originals available (they are on a NAS at home *).

  In terms of performance of LR, you benefit most if you put your lrcat file as well as the issue of previews (... Previews.lrdata) on your SSD, as it is advantageous to use the fast playback speed.

  Your actual image files can be stored on the hard drive, as LR is accessed less often.

  If you are not so much on the agility of LR, you can put everything on your hard drive.

  Separating his Previews.lrdata lrcat file - folder is not provided by Adobe, but possible - Victoria Bampton gives a work around for this in it "(la FAQ manquante pour Lightroom)." Then, of course, you renounce your SSD speed again access to / writing previews and just take the advantage of speed for the lrcat file.

  If you are very concerned about the storage space on your SSD, why not start with everything on your hard drive? So if you get impatient with LR response time, you know that the first tweak would be to the SSD of catalog + previews?

  Note: Develop actions are not possible, if I have no access to images, but the actions of the library, as side, keywording and other metadata adding and their navigation.

• "Remove item after importation" of Photos is activate but failed to import! Both devices (iPhone and Macbook) have no pictures!

  I'm trying to import my photos iPhone Macbook pro, I activate the function "delete after import" photos.

  However, the process fails, and both devices have no pictures I selected.

  How could I come back all these pictures?

  This is exactly why it is not recommended to never delete after import: always wait at least a backup has not completed

  What happened exactly?

  Depending on what happened, you might be able to recover the photos by launching Photos while holding down command and iptin keys and repair the database - which does not then you will need recovery software as media recover http://freshcrop.com/photo-recovery/image-recovery-software-for-apple/

• After importing the photos

  I have several weird questions.  Firstly, my computer unplugged and died in the middle to start editing a series of photos after importing (I import using the option 'Copy').  Once I plugged the computer back in and open to new Lightroom, I got the error message there was a problem displaying my previews.  I tried to restart the program, and that didn't help. I tried restarting the computer and that did not work. Then I checked the forums and people told to remove the preview folder.  I did and Lightroom is finally open.  I tried to re - import the photos that I needed to edit because they are no longer there, but then I get the message "there is no picture to import" even if it's picture still in my computer and the disk, they came.  I don't know why when I imported the photos once, I can't do it a second time to change again.  Help!  I need to edit these photos!

  If Lightroom import them it means that really, they are already in your library. You may need to search for them. Just run a search for filename in the filter in case of «all photographs» bar If you still can't find not just imported with "don't import suspected duplicates" unchecked (in the file tab on the right of handling).

• I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

  Adobe,

  I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

  I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

  You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

  Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

  Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

  Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

  Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

• Why the iPhone 6plus will not open photos app on mac pro for IOS 10 update.

  Why the iPhone 6plus will not open photos app on mac pro for IOS 10 update.
  A message appears on the iphone asks you to trust the computer it is attached (mac pro 10.10.5)

  You type 'Confidence' and nothing happens. the photos on mac app publishes this message.

  This Mac not yet have been granted access to the media on 'my iPhone '. To import media to this Mac, press 'Trust' on 'my iPhone '. You must first unlock the device.

  This actually solved for me after going to settings, General, reset, reset the location and privacy... and then plug in the unit and pressing the trust... hope that works for others.

• my laptop will not import my photos and my itunes doesn't sync new music

  I'm not sure that the question is my Iphone 5 or the laptop. When I plug my phone both the laptop and the phone between them pick up and my phone syncs automatically, however, my phone always wonder if I want to import new photos and then once I clicked on Yes, it says that no pictures are available. Also when you try to import pictures on an app on the phone, he could not pick up one of my recent photos.

  As well as what I downloaded some new music on my itunes on my laptop, however, given that I brought music apple songs downloaded on my itunes on my laptop will not sync and I don't know why. The phone syncs and always put my new music on the phone when it syncs, but it's their import is no longer automatically.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  You can copy photos manually from the film. It might sound like a somewhat random Folders collection.

  With Apple active any music that you add to your library becomes automatically available for you to download or listen to on your device. Music sync via USB, however.
