Automatically inport exported images into Lightroom

When I export an image from say DNG to tiff format I have to inport that exported image in order for it to be seen in Lightroom. I have to go to inport, select the folder I exported to, and then Lightroom will inport that image so I can view it.
Is there a preference I haven't found so this procedure is done automatically or is there a technical reason for this procedure?
I'm using V1.1 Mac OS 10.4.10, G4 Dual GH, with 1.5GB Ram
Thanks in advance

One reason, is npt everyone want exported images back in LR. The original is there and one can do VCs (virtual copies) for variations.
If the images you are exporting are going to folders with images already in LR you can do a Ctl/Right - Click Contextual menu on that folder and call fo a Sync Folder which will import any new images in the folder.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc
I have installed lightroom cc and having trouble imortera images from my Canon 1DX.
Lightroom starting the capture, but then nothing happens more, if I turn off the camera, I get error message photo 100-200 could not be loaded.
Now I have left lightroom 5 and where the input port works fine.
What happened to the upgrade from Lightroom 5 to lightroom cc?
The camera has the latest software.

I've now tested in various ways.
First, I have images on both memory cards in the camera.
Test1) Selects Not all of the photos in the camera at the input port bearings, it seems to work fine.
Test 2) selects all cards in the camera and then get the following, Lightroom starts inportera short but stops and nothing happens (Fig.1).
I turn the camera off after a while and get the next meddelnade (picture 1)
Which can be translated:
"The following files were not imported because they could not read (351)
Property 1-100
etc. "

Can't import any images into lightroom 5

Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

Thank you for your response,
...my complete goofiness.
I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

Best way to reload images into Lightroom 5.4

I use Lightroom 5.4. My computer hard drive crashed,but I have a back up hard drive. When I reloaded my files from the backup drive to the computer drive, the images were not in the same file structure. After discussing it with someone at Adobe tech support, I deleted all the thumbnails. So Lightroom is currently lacking any images but still possesses all the collection names I had created.
Also, my images currently on the computer drive are located in several different folders, all on my desktop.
Question:
What is the easiest and most logical way to reload all the images into Lightroom?
I assume that I should first move all images on the computer drive to a single location. If I do that, must I then somehow eliminate the folder(s) structure on my computer drive so that I would then reload each image individually into Lightroom and then move also into the existing collection structure, i.e., the various collection folders?
Any other comments or suggestions.

There should not be a need to "re-load" (I assume you mean "re-import") images into Lightroom.
If you have backups of your catalog file and your photos, then all you need to do is open (File->Open Catalog) a copy of a recent catalog file backup, and possibly re-link the photos via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm. Please give that a try.

Trouble Exporting Images from Lightroom 3

I am having trouble exporting images from Lightroom 3 with my User Presets. Error Message: The file could not be written. (1). It has always worked in the past but I just bought a new Mac and had everything transfered to it. Everything else seems to be workin fine. Any solutions?

Sometimes on new computers, the permissions in certain folders are not set up to allow you (the only user) to write files. It's worth a check.

Exporting Images from Lightroom 4 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

In this Episode of The Complete Picture, Julieanne demonstrates the advantage of setting up presets in Lightroom to simultaneously export images to multiple file types, sizes, compression settings etc. You might find even find this method more powerful than Photoshop’s Image Processor!
http://adobe.ly/QQ1iKx

Hi Julieanne, currently I do have several Export Presets set up so that a specific image can be exported in various sizes, I believe I have 4-5 presets.
Question:
I would like now to select an image and have "all my various image size presets" run at once without me having to select each of the presets, the method I currently use.
Is that possible?

Downloading RAW images into Lightroom 4

I just switched to Mac from PC and I am not able to download my RAW images (from Canon Mark iii) into Lightroom 4. Anyone know a fix for this problem?

Once you buy LR 5 you can install any of the LR 5.x versions where LR 5.7 just came out and supports the newest cameras, like the Nikon D750 or Canon 7D Mark II along with all earlier models.
It would be wise to download and install the LR 5.7 as a trial and make sure it works for you before buying the upgrade. The minimum OS is 10.7 and Win 7, I think, so if you’re on XP or Vista or OS X 10.6 then you’re out of luck.
The various version of LR are available on the Adobe Updates site: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
They will run in trial mode for 30 days or until you enter appropriate serial numbers.

How to export images into folders and subfolders

I've been using Aperture as an orgianizer basically. Now I want to export everything into a sane folder structure, but I haven't been able to figure out a way. Currently I have a setup something like this:
[Folder 1]
--Project 1
--Project 2
--Project 3
[Folder 2]
--Project 4
--[Folder 3]
----Project 5
----Project 6
--Project 7
And I want export everything exactly like that. For example Project 4 and Folder 3 should both be subfolders of Folder 2. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

You can define an export preset for the subfolder names, but I do not think you can get so deeply nested as your structure is. You may have to do several exports, separately for the different parts of your library.
An example for an export preset, that names subfolders is here:
This will name the subfolders based on containing folder and project name.

Problem importing images into Lightroom 5.6

I use an iMac 10.9.5. I've been importing CR2 files converting to DNG into Lightroom 5.6 with no problems.
Suddenly, files are taking an age to import and Lightroom hangs without loading all the files. I have to force quit Lightroom and then my computer hangs and won't shut down. I close by holding the button down on the back of the iMac. Then Lightroom fails to open. After many attempts I've managed to start Lighroom again but I still have the same problem loading the files. I have tried deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder, as suggested on this forum but that hasn't cured the problem. I don't know whether this has caused a problem but I used a Transcend multi card reader for the first time this week instead of my usual reader. Perhaps there was some kind of issue with compatibility although there shouldn't have been. Now though, I can't upload from my old card reader properly either.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply dj..paige. It could have been the new card reader that caused the initial problem but I used more than one card so I don't think the card is the problem. The original reader wouldn't work either.
Update: Lightroom now seems to be back to normal. I don't know why but it seems to have sorted itself out. Perhaps deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder had an effect after all, after a few attempts at opening and closing Lightroom.
I'm sending the Transcend multi card reader back for a refund as I'm sure this started the problem.
I've wasted two days sorting this - nightmare!

GPU acceleration not working when exporting images on Lightroom CC

I was monitoring CPU & GPU while exporting a timelapse sequence:
As you can see, GPU is idle when exporting images - CPU does all the work. So GPU is used only when moving the sliders in the Develop module for a fast preview of an image you are working on, but for export it isn't used.
What's your opinion? I'd like to have exports accelerated too. I was hoping for it. Exporting timelapses is really time consuming.
Adobe pls?

I couldn't find the Cuda-Supported-Cards.txt file at first, didn't know about right-click .app file "show package contents", but then found it. I also searched for the hack and some people said delete the file, others said add your Graphics cards to the file, others said add your graphics card to the the Opencl_supported_cards.txt file. I added my card to the Cuda-Supported-Cards.txt first, and it didn't work. I left the graphics card in that file, but also added it to the Opencl_supported_cards.txt file and now it works. Thanks so much.

Error exporting images from Lightroom

I have LR v1.3.1, for Windows on Dell PC with Intel Core 2 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM.
I am having problems exporting images I did some minor editing on in LR. Editing included cropping to 8x10 aspect ratio, some tone adjustments, and a few red eye reduction. I then attempted to export 112 images as JPG and I received an error that 77 failed to export. I attempted to re-export those 77 and they all failed. Then I attempted to export 51 different images and 38 failed to export. There is no explanation of what the error is. LR help doesn't shed any light on this. The Adobe knowledgebase doesn't have any similar errors.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I am having the same problem with a Dell PC, Windows Vista, Intel Duo Core 2.4 and 4GB RAM. I am using LR v 1.3.1 as well. I tried to export 156 images to a SD card in a reader, and only 127 exported. There is no explanation why the others did not export, so I don't know how to fix it.
Please help!

How do I correctly import images into Lightroom?

Before installing Adobe Creative Cloud, I deleted Adobe Elements and all files in My Pictures on my hard drive so I could start fresh. I copied groups of images from CS5 Bridge on my old pc onto an empty flashdrive and tried to import them to Lightroom. In addition to those copied images, whole bunches of other images imported. Even worse, those added images were sorted strangely, not even belonging to the groups as I had them in my old pc.

Since you used the Copy import type, at least the images are also where they originally were, other than those on the flash-drive which was a temporary location for images from another location except when you plug it in.
So there seem to be two unexpected things: more images were imported than you wanted to be imported, and some of the images are in folders that don't match the date they were taken.
The folder-date mismatch might be due to some of the photos not having a taken-date in the exif information so the date they were last modified is used, instead. You should check your destination naming options in LR to see if you have things set to import into date folders or not. If not, then you actually specified that LR import a particular import's photos into a specifically-named folder that you typed the name of.
As far as how extra photos got imported, only you can answer that. It would have to do with where you told LR to import from and if you have Include Subfolders selected. There is a way to specify an Auto Import folder using LR / File / Auto Import where LR will watch for photo files and import photos it see show up in that folder, but I doubt that is the problem.
You'll have to decide on what to do now. If you have all the photos still on the flash drive, then you might want to start over. However, also think about if you want to be doing a Copy Import into your pictures folder from everywhere else, or if you want to use Explorer to copy the photos, yourself, outside of LR and do an Add import. A Copy import from the flash drive could make more sense, since that is only a temporary location for the photos, but for other photos already on your computer, an Add import might make more sense. If you use your OS copy commands to move photos from the flash drive to your computer's internal drive, you can decide what to name the folders, instead of LR choosing, if you have LR Import set to use dates.
If things aren't in completely the wrong places, you can drag-and-drop within the LR Library Folders panel to put things where you want, and you can also right-click Remove (without deleting from disk) any extra photos.
Also, there is nothing magic about the Pictures folder. You can choose to make a new folder and put your LR photos under it.
The bottom line is that LR isn't doing anything more than what you told it to do, and it sounds like you just aren't aware of all the settings enabled during your imports so unexpected things happened.
