Photos into lightroom

I had my d200 connected to my computer. nikon camera control pro was open as well as lightroom.   When i would take a photo it would go directly into my lightroom folder and I did not need to go to import and add the photo.   I am in a new office with new computer and I am trying to set this up.  It seems like now I have to go to the import dialogue and add the photo to my file, I am confused

Mike,
You probably achieved this by using Auto Import in LR, where LR watches a designated folder for new images. You would direct the pictures to go to this watched folder with Nikon camera control.
See the AutoImport setup in File menu.

    I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
    Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

  • I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.

    I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.  I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100.  I have a Mac using 10.6.8.  I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files.  This happens with both raw and jpeg files.  Thanks for a repl

    thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission.  I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer.  It says can not read files with a code "298".  I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode.  I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

  • Unable to import photos into Lightroom 5 from anywhere.

    I am running the CC version of LIghtroom 5 on a macbook with OSX 10.7.5.  I upgraded to lightroom 5 and have not been able to import any photos into Lightroom.  Every folder that I click on in the import dialogue looks empty.  I have tried from the WD external hard drive that I store my photos on and directly from the desktop.  It doesn't recognize photos anywhere.  I've unchecked the "hide suspected duplicates" box and that doesn't make a difference.  It's like LIghtroom thinks they don't exist.  Help?! 

    Hi,
    can you please post screenshot of the import dialog when it fails? Do you crate a subfolder in target folder? You use file rename,apply preset, set metadata during import. Try to deactive these. (May be some corrupt / missing data).

  • Trying to import photos into Lightroom 5 isn't working

    I am trying to import photos into my lightroom 5 catalog and it isn't working.  Done this MANY times before and this time nothing.  Tried importing directly from memory card and copying the files to the hard drive both just start the process and it never moves.  Even tried putting the files in the folder I was going to use and then selected to Sync the folder.  Lightroom recognized the 203 times in that folder...  but nothing.  Just sits there.
    Using Lightroom on the Mac, importing JPG and a few AVI files.  Tried single JPG (that I could open in preview) but nothing...
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Seems like this is related to specific files.  If I make a new folder with only certain files it works.  But seeming like it is more then a handful.  Really painful, because once it has the issue you need to close lightroom, then lightroom needs to be forced to quit... it doesn't close cleanly.....
    All the images that cause the problem seem fine in any other viewer....

  • Can't import new photos into lightroom 4, any help?

    I have macbook pro, a external HD with all my RAW files in a folder called 2013, I imported edited and export 2 photos into the same external folder, using lightoroom 4. Now I wanted import the others but they all grey out and there's no import button to import, any ideia what's i'm doing wrong?

    Take my apologize for the delay doceddy. This issue is 90 percent permissions related. But one thing is confusing in this. If it would be permission issue it should not affect for example the desktop folder. .
    Testing:
    1 / Create a floder TEST on the desktop.
    2/ Use the transfer method which you normally to download the rwas from your cam. Put few raws into the TEST folder.
    3/ Run Lightroom and try to import those in TEST.
    4/ If it does not work: highlight the test folder - right click - properties - check if there is read only attribute.
    5/ If it so - try to put the blue marker from this box away and click apply.
    6/ After this close the dialogue (the operation will run some small time). Then do it again if your system allowed you to apply the change. So second time should be the attribut away. If it is start Lightroom and try to import again from TEST.
    7/ Give me some feedback then please - I will suggest you some other steps if it does not work.
    Good Luck

  • Trouble importing photos into Lightroom 3

    I was no longer able to  import photos into Light room 3 so I removed everything to "My Pictures" to a folder named Light room Photos and uninstalled and reinstalled Light room, but when I try to import my photos back into Light room from that folder it "no photos found" which was why I tried this to begin with as whenever I tried to import from a memory card it came up with "no photos found.  Any ideas?@

    I'm having the same problem as you.
    Lightroom 5.2 has been running for a year and now it's just stops importing from my CF cards.
    Is that the same problem, or a different problem?
    What is the error message?
    I've got Permissions set to allow me to do anything so, that ain't the issue either.
    This is often the first response and when we insist that we see screen captures of the Import dialog box and the permissions on the folder specified under "Destination", it turns out the permissions are not set properly.
    So, we need to see screen captures of both your Import dialog box and the permissions on that exact folder specified under Destination

  • Issues importing photos into lightroom 5.6

    Hello All,  I would very much appreciate any assistance in figuring out my issue of not being able to import new photos after having used LR for years with almost 6000 photos in my LR catalogue.  It looks like the images are coming in and then it gives me a number of the images (all of them) that are not able to import.  I tried using a new, empty catalogue as well as importing my old photos into a new catalogue, and in both cases had the same problem.  I am shooting with a Fuji XT1 both RAW and JPG and none of the images come in, yet they had been importing with no issue up until recently. I tried uploading the photos from a card reader, then I copied the images onto my desktop, tried that, and then I put the disc directly into the slot on my Macbook Pro, and it hasn't worked from any of those sources.  The only thing that is different is that I recently purchased a new Apple thunderbolt monitor, but I disconnected that and tried to upload directly onto my Macbook Pro and it still wouldn't import the new photos.  Could you kindly offer me any suggestions of what I might be able to do to remedy this situation?  Thanks!

    When I try to import my images, both RAW and jpeg from my Fujixt1, both from the card reader and directly from the slot on my computer, I initially see them as thubnails in Lightroom and it appeast like they are being imported, but after the import bar is finished, no lonager seeing any of the photos.  then an error message comes up it also says:  "could not copy files to the requested location" I have not had this problem when I had an earlier version of Lightroom. Any specific help in getting these files into Lightroom would be must appreciated.  Is there an update that will help make this issue go away.  It used to be so easy to just upload directly.  Thanks!

  • Why when I add/import bridge CS6 photos into Lightroom 5 the photo totals don't match?

    I have added about 3,200 photos into Bridge CS6 and many have been edited.  I went into Lightroom to Library/Import/add and only about 2800 were added.  Anyone know why I don't see all of them?  I even double check the import and don't see any new ones that I missed.  Hope it's something simple.

    Found it.
    At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
    Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
    Thanks.

  • Cannot import a photo into Lightroom 5.2

    See the Lamp and Chopper video at http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/21425173_dGgs24

    OK, the first "problem": one of them IS the original, which you modified by applying the tint adjustment. So why would you expect to see it in its "original" non-tint form? That will only happen if you step back in the history panel. Lightroom NEVER changes the original image data, but it does update the previews that you see with any adjustments that you make.....so you will always see the modified version of your original. In the Develop module, you applied the +100 tint adjustment, so you'll then see that adjusted image in the Library module. So seeing the modified original file in Library is the expected view, yes? You then exported that file, during which process Lightroom reads the original file, adds whatever changes you have in the develop history, and writes the new file.....which as expected then matches the modified original file when you see them side by side in the Library.
    I really don't understand why you see this as a problem, it is entirely normal behaviour.
    The second problem: when you made that +100 tint adjustment to your original, the effect of having that XMP setting checked in your Catalog settings means that almost as soon as you made the change, Lightroom will write that change into the XMP portion of the file's header. It does NOT, however, recreate the small embedded Jpeg preview in your file. That embedded thumbnail preview is what you see when you look at the file in something like Explorer/Finder, and if you fully open that file in say Windows Photo Viewer you will still see the original image (because Lightroom hasn't changed it).
    However, when you remove that file from Lightroom and then re-imported it, the sequence is as follows:
    In the Import window, Lightroom will show you the embedded jpeg preview, i.e. the original unmodified image.
    But then during import Lightroom will detect the XMP data that was written to the file, and because Lightroom wrote it it can decipher it and apply it. So after import you see the modified image. Again, entirely expected behaviour, once you understand the sequence. Also note that most non-Adobe products will NOT be able to understand XMP develop data written by Lightroom, so will ignore it. So open that file in a photo viewer, you see the original, but open it is Photshop or Lightroom and you see the modified version.
    But that aside, there really was no need to remove the original in the first place.

  • Why can't I import any photos into lightroom?

    I just bought Lightroom 5 and installed it. I need it so that it can help me correct Chromatic Aberration in portraits. I have tried importing photos but nothing will import. They won't import as raw files from memory card or jpeg from desktop or external drive. Loads fine into Photoshop Elements. If someone has a fix to this, please help. I will need step-by-step instructions. I don't understand complicated technology lingo. I'm using a Mac. My camera is a Canon T3i. My card is a Lexar…tying to think if there is anymore info I need to give. Please help before I go bald. Thanks!

  • I can no longer import photos into lightroom from card reader or camera.

    Just recently my Lightroom 5.3, now 5.6, has stopped allowing me to import photos from my card reader or directly from my camera. When I click the Import button, it lists the card but will not show the previews and the Import button does not become active. What is wrong?
    All other modules seem to work fine.

    I have the same problem. My program has worked perfectly until a few days ago.
    Now the module import has the central screent in blank, empty, and not import anything.
    I am also looking for a solution

  • How do I get a photo into Lightroom if I first opened it in Photoshop for editing

    Sometimes I open an image (not in the Lightroom catalog)  directly into Photoshop for editing and when I'm done would like to finish editing it in Lightroom. What's the best way to do that?

    Any reason why you're not opening it in Lightroom first?  RAW converter?   "Typical" workflow would be to open everything in Lightroom, do basic development, and then kick it over to Photoshop as needed.  Lightroom tracks it the whole time, so when you save your file in Photoshop, so long as you don't rename it, Lightroom will keep track of it as an alternate to the original.
