Importing a picture with lightroom instructions

I use a desk top as my main computer and a lap top for downloading from my camera in the field. I import the pictures on my laptop into Lightroom running on my laptop. I would like to work on those pictures in the field and then import those pictures with new lightroom instructions into my main computer. How do I get the new lightroom instructions into my main computer catalog?
I shoot NEF files with a NIKON. Thanks.

It means that you will have another catalog named whatever you name it that will contain additional copies of your images with all of the Lightroom settings.
It is possible to have numerous catalogs. You can create a separate catalog for each project, each month, or whatever. After you have imported a catalog, or have created an additional catalog, you can go to the file menu and open any catalog that you want.

  • Open Picture With Lightroom 2

    Im using windows vista and want to edit my pictures in Lightroom 2.
    I've been using lightroom 1.4 for a long time and loved it, but recently upgraded to an opympus Camera, and there are compatibility issues.
    anyway, im using version 2 now, and when i right click a picture and choose "open with", lightroom isnt there. I browse to it in the adobe section of program files and choose it as the program to open my jpeg picture file, but nothing happens.
    I dont want to have to import my pictures every time, as it is a pain in the a$$.
    Anyone know whats causing this to not work?
    Thank you!

    im sure its possible tho, because in Lightroom 1.4 it was possible.
    the process im describing is to right click a photo, choose to "Open With", select the program (this case being lightroom 2).
    With lightroom 1.4 it worked perfectly, but with 2 it doesnt...

  • Importing old pictures with wrong date stamp. After adjusting date they are landing in the correct folder of referenced masters.

    I was thrilled to learn that with Aperture I could have one big library and using referenced masters, I can organize the pictures by date so I know where everything is and can backup to the cloud.  I started importing really old photos that were taken with god knows what camera and the date is wrong.  Since I had all these in date structured folders I could make a best guess on the date - not needing it to be exact, just so it shows up close enough in projects and the original lands in the right folder for future use & backup. I have come to learn that changing the metadata is only referring to how Aperture sees it.  In other words, images that were taken on 10/31/04 are still landing in the referenced masters folder on the date the camera said.  I now understand that the metadata date is not the date Aperture needs fixed.  Is the best way to fix this to delete the images from Aperture, find some tool that will adjust to the approximate real date, then reimport.  If so, can someone recommend a utility that does this? If I can fix this inside of Aperture, even better.  I saw on one of the discussions: "it's all about the Exif and IPTC and not about the file metatata."  Please feel free to learn me on that.  Cheers.

    That answers some of it - the relocate files.  That will allow me to put the files in the right year/month folder.  I imported full folders into Aperture so need to edit the metadata date for multiple pictures at the same time.  I understand when you select multiple pictures and then ajust time, it adjusts in relation to the first picture.  In my case these things were taken by all sorts of crappy cameras & re-edited years later (2003 data).  So pictures taken on the same day have 2001, 2003 & 2007 dates. I really do just wnt to set all of them to the same (ballpark) date. 
    So my goals are:
    1) have the pictures land in the right referenced folder - answered
    2) do a mass adjust time to the same date for a folder of images
    3) have the projects then land chronologically inside Aperture - not sure about this one yet
    Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated.

  • Import pictures with original size

    I have been making animations (frame by frame, gosh is that

  • 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.

  • Importing from camera into lightroom with camera picture styles in tact (camera neutral)

    I use the Camera Neutral picture style on my Canon 5D mark ii when shooting landscape photogtraphy.  I would like my photos to remain Camera Neutral when I import them.  However, Lightroom always defaults the photos to Adobe Standard.  Is there any way to make this not happen?  I am fairly new to lightroom (used for 5 months) and would really appreciate the help as I am trying to import 16 gigs of Wallowa Mountain photogtraphy, and do not want to change each photo manualy.

    If you always want Camera Neutral picture style to be applied, then open one of your images that you have imported and have changed nothing else in Lightroom.  Set the camera profile to Camera Neutral and save new camera default settings.  Then whenever you import that setting will be applied to all of your images.
    If you don't always want that style, you could save a preset that applies the Camera Neutral picture style, and then you could choose to use that preset during the import process.
    It is simply a matter of determining your workflow and then setting things the way you want them to work.

  • Why is taking too long to import pictures as DNG with Lightroom CC?

    IS taking about 2 hours to import a 32 gb card. with Lightroom 5 was really fast! Do I have perhaps a setting in the wrong way?

    Hi Torsten,
    We have about 25 machines in each collection, My collection condition is based on the package (Ex:if the package is not installed on the machine, it will appear in the collection to target the package),
    WQL query looks good, I have used the same logic for all the collections with different package.
    I did not see any error in colleval.log, all the collections are evaluating properly,but I can see .CEP files in COLLEVAL.BOX which has 0 KB size.
    Any Idea?

  • Questions about using Lightroom to import my pictures..

    Hi.
    My main use for Lightroom is picture import, as it does a superb job on arranging my pictures at import time, but I have a few questions that maybe you guys can answer.
    First and foremost, my camera has that orientation data, but somehow the image file that ends up on my hard drive is always vertical (i.e. 3264x2448) even though there are pictures that are shot horizontal (i.e. 2448x3264). Is Lightroom capable of importing the pictures already rotated, or is there a setting that allows that? (Note that the pictures INSIDE Lightroom are shown rotated, but I'm talking about the JPG file stored in my hard drive)
    Second, how can I set up Windows Vista to display Lightroom as an option to import pictures when I insert my card or connect my camera?
    Thanks..

    Let me see if I understand your rotation issue. It seems that you shoot jpeg (using which camera?) and that the images show correctly rotated in Lightroom but not in another (unspecified) application.
    Does the software that came with the camera show the jpeg properly rotated? (I'm certain that it does.) What software doesn't show proper rotation? Windows Explorer? You would not want Lightroom to physically rotate the image on disk since that would violate it's non-destructive editing rule.
    Lightroom has a preference setting that allows the import dialog to be shown when a memory card is detected. Avoid importing directly from the camera and use a card reader.

  • Problem with Lightroom 5: how to connect the app with my original pictures which are on a external hard disk and, once this resolved,  how to create virtual pictures

    A friend has  installed Lightroom 5  on my MacBook air. he  transferred all my picture that were on my IPhone an on Iphoto on Lightroom but without making virtual copies systematically. He put the original (real?) pictures on a external hard disk under Data_photos folder to allow more memory space on my Mac book Air. My problem now that when I connect the external hard disk with my computer the connexion does not happen automatically. it is like if Lightromm does not recognize the path to get connected to the original/real picture and therefore I cannot see pictures with all their potential and I cannot work on these. I am stuck! What should I do to 1) create this link? 2) create then virtual copies in order to be able to work on my computer without been obliged to connect my external hard disk to be able to use the application Lightroom. The friend who helped me disappeared! He is not in Japan and unable to help me.I hope you can help me. I have been looking for support to apple stores, photo shops, computer specialists but I have not found the expert capable to help me. I am leaving in Geneva. And believe that I should have some one with me physically to resolve a problem which I believe is not a serious one if one knows lghtroom an dinformatic basics... thank in advance to come back to me asap !!!!

  • 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.

  • LR5: Why can't I import my pictures again after having them used for editing in Lightroom?

    Hi!
    A week ago I was editing 800 pictures of my last holidays in Lightroom 5.2. After having them exported I noticed that I didn't check the quality settings for export, so I wanted to import the original files again.
    And that's where I'm having issues right now. I can't open them anymore. Though they are all availabe, they are shaded in grey and are not selectable:
    Going back to the original holidays folder, it strikes me that it's only possible to import such pictures which I haven't picked to edit in Lightroom before:
    I tested other original files of pictures I already edited in Lightroom and they work. It's only about these holiday pictures. The exported, edited holiday pictures appear in Lightroom for importing. It seems like Lightroom has problems with the original files which has been imported to Lightroom once. An Update to LR 5.6 didn't help. Has anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    You don't re-import photos in Lightroom. There is no need to do so and this only would cause problems.
    Instead, for those photos that you cannot import, you simply find them in the Library Module, and continue to use them (if you want to export them again at different settings, then you export from the existing photo in the Library module)
