Since we don't know what version of Lightroom you are using, or your operating system, or your camera, or ANYTHING about what has happened and comparing that to the past, the only answer that can be given is, "Because."

What is the best way to import pictures from Lightroom 5 into FCP X

What is the best way to transfer pictures from Lightroom 5 into Final Cut Pro X?

There is no one best way. If, for instance, you want to be able to zoom into the picture with a Ken Burns effect then you may want to save out a very high res version that will be larger than your video resolution. Just use Lightroom to export a jpg file wherever you want it. You could export it into the Events folder and then choose not to copy it when you import it within FCPx. You could import the picture into iPhoto and then access it directly from within FCPx. Those are two simple, "regular" ways to get it into FCPx but if you are not going to Ken Burns the image by zooming into it and such you will want to crop it in Lightroom to the same size you will be using ie if you are making 720HD video then crop the image to that size and proportion before you export it from Lightroom.

How do I save space in my hard drive when importing pictures into lightroom

Hi, I keep my images in one internal drive and I have light room in my main drive. When I import pictures from the other internal drive, am I taking up space in my main drive which has limited space. I only want to keep the applications, such as lightroom in one drive and store my images in the other drive. I do not want to duplicate the images and use up my limited space in the main drive that has my operating system and applications

Ask in the LR forum how to manage your catalogs.

Problem importing pictures into lightroom 5.4 on a Mac.

I have lighroom 5.4 on a Mac and I am having some trouble importing pictures into my library on lightroom. The other day I was trying to import some from another folder in my computer and the files were showing up empty (although they were not). And today I was trying to import from an SD card and I was having the same problem. I shoot in raw on a Nikon. So what can I do to fix this problem?
This is what it looks like when I try to import

Ask in the LR forum and provide exact technical info - "I shot raw on Nikon" and "on a Mac" is not.

Help with importing pictures in Lightroom

I have Lightroom 3 I’m trying to add my pictures from my Sony when I import the pictures Lightroom comes up with “The following files were not imported because they could not be read” I have windows 7

Also, are you trying to import directly from the camera, or via a card reader? If your camera is on the supported list (and that's my first guess too), then try copying the files to your hard drive and importing from there, and see if that works.

No Preview available when importing pictures into lightroom

Using lightroom 1.0 and my Nikon d200 with a cf card I am able to see preview pictures when deciding what to import into lightroom. Using a new Leica V Lux with an SD card I am not able to see photos prior to importing into lightroom. Have searched for an answer to no avail. I must be missing something but can't figure our what. Can anyone help me?? ml

Are you viewing your CF and SD cards with your camera directly connected to your computer or do you use a card reader?
And are you Mac or Windows?
By the way, Lr 1.0 supports the V-LUX 1. Is that the same as your camera?

Issues importing pictures to lightroom 4.3

I just got lightroom and when I try to upload my old albums from my hardrive (all taken with the same camera) not all of them will load and the importing bar in the top left freezes. Please help

How long have you waited? If you upload a lot of images, it can take a while - depending on the resources of your computer. So try again and go for a cup of coffee. If after 20 min the progress bar is still stuck, let us know.
What camera? What file format are the photos? JPGs? Raw?
Keep in mind that Lr supports only Raw-images, DNGs, JPGs, TIFFs, PSDs. Images that are in a different file format cannot be imported.
Also, If Lr encounters an image that it can't read for some reason the import might stop.
Try to import in smaller batches. You will then be able to pin down which image - if any - causes the import to hang.

Cannot import pictures into Lightroom 5.6

I have not been able to download into Lightroom lately. I took a course on LR and the only thing I remember changing is that I imported into a subfolder on my desktop. The next time I downloaded, I unchecked that box and expected it to download as always. Now, Lightroom "imports" my RAW photos in about 15 seconds and an "Import Results" box pops up with the following message: "Some import operations were not performed. The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (133)" So my 133 photos are still on my camera. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thank you

I am questioning why there are 267 photos listed at the lower left of the Import screen grid:
But the second screenshot with the error message only lists 133 as having errors:
Are your screenshots from two separate imports or why is one count twice+1 the other?
I mean your options are New Photos not All Photos so it would seem like there should only be 133 New Photos on the first screenshot. Maybe it wasn't finished looking for duplicates when you made the screenshot?

WHY CAN'T I IMPORT PICTURES? MY PREVIOUS PICTURES HAVE DISAPPEARED

I can't import pictures into lightroom. All previous images (apart from some in an old file) have disappeared. Do I need to reinstall lightroom. Yesterday I had a
'reading cache' problem and lightroom wouldn't open at all. The community advised me to remove a file (ending with LRData) which I did but now I don't seem to have
and photographs. I'm just learning and this is very frustrating.

Removing the .lrdata file should not interfere with your picture files, that is where the preview files are stored. When you open Lightroom after removing this file Lightroom should realize it does not exist a recreate a new one. Your Lightroom sub-folder that contains the Catalog File and your Previews file should look like the screen capture below.
Try shutting down your computer and reboot, then start Lightroom.

LR 5.2 hangs when importing pictures from the SD reader (Macbook)

Hi, I'm experiencing problems when importing pictures in Lightroom. The context is
- Lightroom 5.2
- Nikon D600 (always RAW files)
- SDHC SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB (UHS-I, 95MB/s)
- Macbook pro 15" early 2011 (high def matte screen) running Mac OS 10.7
I have a recurrent problem when importing pictures in Lightroom using the built-in SD reader. LR starts the process ok but a few seconds later it seems to stop. If I click on a picture I get "preview not available". Even when (after a long long time) the importing finishes, the pictures are corrupted and I have to start it again.
The only solution I've found so far: try once and again (ejecting the card doesn't work, so I get several messages: 'disk not unmounted cleanly' or something similar) until it works smoothly. Usually 3 or 4 re-tries are needed. It goes worse with the number of pictures: the more pictures I have in my SD card, the more likely it will hang repeatedly. Very disappointing...
Any help would be welcome. Thanks!
Cheers, German

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. Be sure to not delete the photos after importing into the library.
If you are able to import into the new library try repairing your current library as follows: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do you stop adjustments to the image when importing pictures?

When I import pictures into Lightroom 1.1 they all automatically get adjusted to be much brighter. How do I stop this? The DEVELOP SETTINGS DIALOG in the IMPORT PHOTOS pop up box is set to NONE. I don't think it's a color management issue as the images are imported with a normal brightness/color balance and then get their settings changed one by one. Opening an image in Photoshop CS3 with the EDIT A COPY WITH LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS radio selected opens up the modified brightened image. Opening that same image in Photoshop CS3 with the EDIT ORIGINAL radio selected opens a normal image with correct brightness/color balance.
This is driving me mad! I don't want these adjustments. Please help!

It's not turned on by default, that I know of. Somehow, yours got that way.
As to where it's located, I would like the preferences to be distributed around the application rather than concentrated in one place. I agree with you that this one should be in the import dialog.

Why can I not import pictures any more? Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"

Why can I not import pictures any more?
Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"
Technical informations:
PC with Windows 7 64-bit, Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit installed.
What I have done:
I downloaded the newest LR 5.71 and installed it again - mode repair; without success
I checked my PC with Norton 360: full scanning and optimizing registry
I restarted the PC and than I installed the LR 5.7 again - repair
Trouble 1:
Two days ago I could work with my LR 5 and to import pictures from a SD was no problem. Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.
Trouble 2:
I live in Switzerland and my language ist German. I dit not find a place where I can present my problem in German, e.g. a phone number oder email-address oder german-chat. My English is to week for a discussion for computer problems and do understand it.
Help:
I would very appreciate if anybody can help me, either to trouble 1 or to trouble 2. Thanks.

Problem for import picture of sony nex-5 with lightroom 5

I have Lr 5 on os X and I don't understand when I import picture of Sony NEX-5, my pixel size is 4592 x 2576 instead of 4592 x 3056.
So the picture render is cut only on lightroom and is good on mode preview on Mac
Thanks for your help

Thank you e2photo.
Yesterday I found a similar post about the same issue with a new Canon camera. They fixed the problem by copying the files from the camera to a folder on the computer. Then they loaded the files into AP3 from the folder. Great news; it worked!!
Thank you for your thoughts on iMovie as I had not tried to download movie content yet. You prompted me to do a little trial. No problem. iMovie 08 read the ACVHD movie and it looks great.
Kind regards,
