Changes in "Imported Photos" Folder in Lightroom Not Reflected in Lr Mobile

After installing Lr Mobile, I imported all my photos that were on the phone. When I enabled syncing in Lightroom the photos appeared in "Imported Photos" in the Folders section. I then moved them all to other folders. The "Imported Photos" folder was now empty in Lightroom, but the still appeared in Lr Mobile. I then deleted the folder and created a new one. I imported three more photos. Two of them made it to Lightroom. The third one may not have synced because it had done before. Again I moved the photos out of "Imported Photos" and again they still remain in Lr mobile. Is this normal behavior. Do I have to go back and manually delete them?
I have another workflow question. Is there a way to automatically delete photos from the Apple photo app that are auto imported into Lr Mobile? I suspect not, but hope springs eternal. If not is there a camera app that would save photos directly into Lr Mobile?

Thanks Victoria. The sync process created a folder called "From Lr mobile" in my Collections. In it were the folders I had created on my iOS device. One of was set to two way sync. Right clicking on a photo and selecting "Remove from Collection" removed it from the collection on Lightroom and Lr mobile just like Victoria explained. The folder "Imported Photos" is where the photos are stored on the OS X device when the are copied from for iOS device.

I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up. Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either. Any suggestions?

I'll have to get a better instructor on deleting the preferences since when I've doen it in the past nothing is there when I open LR the catalog is gone. I assumed that was what was supposed to happen so I start importing all over again. But that is a different issue...
The problem has been happening since at least the beta of 3 came out and I saw other posts back then saying they had similar issues but I assume it was a beta thing... But since the full version came out and through each incremental change I haven't seen an improvement. If anything it has gotten a little worse with time.
I have to try to be careful to not be in a hurry and start clicking around in the catalog as it seems fragile until it has cataloged all the photos in the library. When starting you will see the numbers populate the folders very slowly and I try not to click on a folder that hasn't had the number of photos pop up yet. Also draging the slider down to see more of the cataloge can have the same affect and crash the system.
I wish I had more to go on.. I believe it may be a resources issue but as I went from 3-4 Gig I thought it would get better. I don't have big programs running but did have outlook and word running in the background along with firefox and chrome.
And yes it only happens on this HP desktop (it's 2+ yrs old) and may be showing it's age a bit. My laptop which has less resources doesn't have the issue.. I have them sharing the catalog. (not at the same time) just when I'm working in other places in the house.

On my Ipad 2, I deleted my photos from camera roll, photo stream and imported photos. I did not know that my photos were also being deleted from my albums. Is there anyway I can retrieve these photos from back up or from Icloud ? Pierre

If you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

Is there a way to automatically import photos to a Lightroom collection?

Hi!
I'm coming from aperture (on the mac), where I used a program called hazel to automatically import photos into a project in Aperture.
I'm wondering if there are similar automations for Lightroom? Thanks!

I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly.
What I want is for lightroom to automatically import pictures that I put in
a specified folder on my computer. In other words, I wouldn't do anything
"manual" in LR at all - when I open lightroom, the pics in the specified
finder folder would simply be there ...

Imported photos in iPhoto library not shown in iPhoto

I just imported about 640 photos into iPhoto in 2 batches. The first 400 or so are no showing up in any screens of iPhoto (not in "Last 12 Months" or "Photos") while the second batch of 240 are my "Last Import" and show up in the previous 2 mentioned places.
When I click on "Show File" to see my iPhoto library in the Finder, I can see those 400 pictures in their own folder. So, the files are in my iPhoto Library, but are not viewable in iPhoto. This is especially problematic for trying to upload to Shutterfly.

Check your version of iPhoto - you have iPhoto '08 not iPhoto 6 - posting in the correct forum is critical because there are differences between them and you will get incorrect advise if you are not in the correct forum for your software
For iPhoto '08, Right click (control click on a single button mouse) on the iPhoto library and select "show package contents" from the resulting menu - do not change anything except to drag the import(ing) folder - not the auto import folder - to the desktop
this will take care of your problem

How do I import photos from a Lightroom Catolog into Elements 7.0?

Am trying to import my photos from a Lightroom catolog and cannot. I find the Lightroom folder, but the files wont import to Elements 7.0.

Do you want to import the photos to the organizer? Then the previous poster gave you the right answer. However, it's not necessary to use the organizer if you already have your photos catalogued in lightroom. Instead, you can set PSE as your external editor and send the photos directly from LR. Lightroom preferences>external editor tab>browse to PSE. Then when you're in the editor or library modules, right click and choose to send the photo to elements.

Navigate to already imported photos outside of Lightroom 4 and add them to collection

hello -
this is probably a stupid question... i just recently used my raw software and not Lightroom, and imported photos onto my hard drive. i now want to add those photos to a collection in Lightroom. i can't figure out (to save my life) how in the world do i navigate to photos IN Lightroom 4, but photos that were already imported with another software. can anyone help? thanks!

Here is the easiest way (in my opinion):
* select files in Explorer/Finder
* drag them to Lightroom (library) grid.
* review import settings - make sure 'Add' is selected at the top of import dialog box.
* click 'Import'.

File size changes after importing photos

Quick question here. I've been using iphoto (now using iphoto 8)for a couple years and just noticed that after importing photos (I use a variety of original formats, usually jpeg or raw) the file size in iphoto is a lot smaller than the original (roughly half). First of all, why is this? Is there any way for iphoto to retain the original size? If I try copying a photo out of iphoto, say onto my desktop, the file size remains the same as it was in iphoto. In other words, it doesn't revert back to the original.
Any idea as to why it would do this?
Some help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When a raw file is imported iPhoto creates a jpg version so if you're looking at that and comparing to the size of the raw file, yes it will be smaller.
If you edit a photo the resulting file will be slightly smaller since there will be one level of jpeg compression added to the file. All subsequent edits will not cause any more compression because the edit instructions are saved in the database file and applied to the file for viewing, printing and exporting. That's why iPhoto calls it nondestructive editing.
If the photo is portrait oriented and comes from a camera which has the auto-rotate feature iPhoto will create a rotated version and that will contain some jpeg compression.
Dragging the photo to the desktop will bring the edited version which will be smaller. To get the original file export using the Format=Original setting as Larry has already pointed out.
If you're worried about image quality unless you will be printing a very large photo you'll be hard pressed to see any degradation in the image.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Import photo from recent disk not connected: LR gets waiting forever.

Steps:
1) Import photos and video.
2) On the right I find the recent destination directories.
3) I select one of them referring a USB disk NOT currently connected.
4) I run import.
PROBLEM: The program shows the progress bar but then nothing more happens: it waits forever (of course for the missing disk).
I am not sure this should be defined a bug, but LR could inform the user of what is waiting for.
Regards.

If you're looking at the image off the card in loupe mode, of course it's going to be slow going from image to image. It has to read the whole image off the card each time. If you want to examine images in detail before importing them, it would work lots better to download the entire card to a folder on disk and then import your images from that folder.

Why don't imported photos show in Lightroom?

I imported a folder of approximately 170 pictures into lightroom using the same process I have been using for a month. the files are a combination of canon .cr2 files and the matching .jpg files that go with the .cr2s.
After the import completed lightroom showed zero photos in that folder. I immediately panicked and double checked that all the files really did exist in the folder via windows explorer.
However, if I go back and try re-importing the files the import function shows all the files as having been previously imported.
I have tried the "synchronize folder" process, and it first shows the files as '170' to import, but after the synch function complete it shows 0 files processed.
Any ideas why lightroom refuses to show this particular group of folders?
I suspect it is something either really simple or the library on my system is messed up due to corruption.
If the library is messed up how do I go about rebuilding it. These photos are critical to me as they are headshots of an actress.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!
I was panicking because I spent an hour with my friend/client going through these 170 shots cropping, minor tweaking, and picking out the best for further work. I managed to reload the pictures, but thought I had lost all the post prep we had done.
You nailed the issue dead on and I've found the files with all the post prep catalog info.
If you were here I would kiss you!
And by the way, did I say THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks, Bobw

My iPhoto won't quit/close which will then not allow me to turn my computer off- how to I get iPhoto to close? It keeps saying that it is still importing photos- but it's not! help!

Hi-
My iPhoto will not quit/close as it keeps saying that it's "importing" photos however, there isn't anything connected to the laptop that it would be importing photos from. How can I "force" the program to shut down? Due to it not closing, it wont permit me to turn the computer off.

Imported photos from sd card not showing in events

iPhoto 9.6: after importing photos from SD card, they do not appear in Events nor Last Import. They DO appear in Photos and Last 18 Months. How can I get them into Events?

they are in an event - every photo is - you are not finding them
Photos and events are simply different views of the exact same photos - anything in one is also in the other
Most common causes are a bad sort of events - fix using the view menu ==> sort events and set your desired sort
Or -- a bad date on the camera - to fix set the camera correctly and select the photos already imported with the bad dates and use the adjust time/date command to fix
You also can right click on one in Photos and select who event from the resulting menu to see where it is

IPhoto thinks it is importing photos when it is not. Help?

On my laptop, iPhoto thinks that it is importing photos when there isn't any devices plugged in. It will not let me quit due to this and I also cannot restart my computer, run software updates, etc. Any suggestions would be great. thank you!

Use the Force Quit command, under the Apple Menu

How do I clear a photo folder from lightroom after I have worked on one photo and am finished with particular folder

how to clear folder from lightroom after I have finished with working on one particular photo

I don't know why you would want to do that. You import images into Lightroom so that you can perform nondestructive editing. If you remove the images from Lightroom when you are "finished" with them then you will lose all of the work that you have performed on those images.
The idea is to keep the master images in the catalog and export JPEG files when the image needs to be shared with others.
