But there are some little things which would make the handling a lot better:
1) Import Dialog
If I want to import a directory from the harddrive and I navigate to it using the dialog it will start scanning the whole drive including subfolders for images. That locks up the application so I can either wait for 15 minutes or use the task manager to close it.
I found no way to enable/disable the setting "include subfolders" from case to case.
2) Import Dialog
The setting "handle JPEG with RAW" is burried in the general property dialog, but it should be part of the import dialog - logically.
3) Import Dialog
I would like to sort by file TYPE - this way I can easily select the RAWs only, and only pick the JPPE I really like.
4) Library View
There are all sorts for X:Y and Y:X zoom setting, but no setting to view the images at a certain output size. How am I supposed to check images if they are ok to be printed ok at 10 x 16 '' for example if my images have a different size?
I dearly miss a possibilty to view at a certain dpi rate, or certain pixel width or inch or cm - the pixel based 1:x zoom rates look a bit dated and not of practical use.
5) Automatic stacks
There is a function to create stacks by time, but not by filename. It would be so practical to stack RAW and JPEG if that would be possible.
6) Print Module
How can I select´the page size in the otherwise very useful print module?
Esspecially when I need to create JPEG - I want to set a desired size.
I just switched from a Windows PC to a Mac. I downloaded the Mac software from the cloud and installed it. I have been keeping all my Raw images on a "Passport" external drive for the past couple of years. I've successfully tranfered my catalog to the Mac and I have no problems importing photos to the harddrive on the Mac. I don't want to keep Raw files on my harddrive because of their size. But, when I set LR to import to the external drive I get the message shown below.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to import files from external drive I get message " the disc to which you are importing to is low on space" but I am importing from a different disc and not importing to that disc. The message is a hang up and no matter if I import to my catalogue I still get the same message,
So how do I get rid of this hang up and import files again?
I am trying to import a file of RAW files from one of my external drives, it doesnt appear in the Lr folder panel, however when I try to import it the images are shaded. I have got the same images on another drive in the folders panel, could lightroom see this as suspected copies in which case how do you get around this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import photographs from an external hard drive to LR4.1. The photos appear to come over ok and be available as long as the external hard drive is connected. Once it's disconnected, however, the photos are still in LR, but each has a line that says "The file named XXXX is offline or missing." What do I need to do to ensure that the photos are moved to the right place in LR so the entire file will be there, without the external hard drive connected?

The directory gets created properly and I can see the files get coppied to a temp directory in the directory I specified. The files then get removed and the temp directory is deleted but nothing shows up in the primary directory.
I have verified I can import to other external drive, the other two are WD. I can also import to the internal drive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt seems that a powerful tool like Lightroom (on top of a powerful Adobe suite) should allow a developer to import a client's catalog from Photoshop Elements on an external hard drive. Everything I've read in the support and forums indicate I need to have Photoshop Elements installed on my own machine, and that reading off a network drive is not possible.

It seems that nearly every tutorial I have tried to do is missing critical external files. When I open the material editor, the compact one, the sample files are there, but they are all blank. That is there has been no material added to the sample. Is there a way I can import the missing external files without having to uninstall and reinstall?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis issue occured shortly after update to 4.2, but not directly after. I am using windows 8.
The issue that occurs is after importing images they are adjusted automatically to develop module cross process 1. After dealing with this annoyance for a bit of time I realized that I can not even "RESET ALL" the images to delete the adjustment. In delving into other images that have been in my database for quite some time, I have tried to "RESET ALL", which resets images to CROSS PROCESS 1. I have never set import to automatically adjust.
I'm presently using LR4 on an iMac (Machintosh HD) with back-ups going to and external HD. I want to purchase a MBP to use in the field and use two external HDs only instead of the Mac HD. The .lrcat and .lrdata would be on the EHD only.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just bought a Seagate Backup Plus external hard disk drive for the sole purpose of storing my photo files in the Backup Drive. How do I do this? If I select a certain photo and go to File>Export that takes me to the Hard Drive location, which is a desktop Mac. My external HDD is connected to the Mac, but by clicking on the Hard Drive as end destination, am I storing it on the Seagate HDD? I don't think so.
Shouldn't the Mac recognize the presence of an external hard drive and give it a letter designation? By the way, I would first like to create various folders in the external drive for different photo ctegories (e.g., landscapes, people, etc.)
I just upgraded from LR3.6 to 4.0. When trying to import images the import module freezes for a few minutes and then displays the import screen. However, when selecting a source the program freezes again and eventually crashes.
I had the same issue when upgrading to 3.6 some time ago and then found that disabling some USB controllers solved the problem. This works for LR4 as well. As I don't need all USB connections this is a workable solution, however, disabling controllers should not be necessary to run a program.
System is an Acer Aspire 7811 64 bits w/ Intel i7, Win 7 Home Premium, 8 GB internal mem and no external drives.
I'm using LR4 with a Canon camera setup (Wind 7 Ultimate). I've got the auto import setting all configured with an incoming folder and destination. The app recognizes when an image is put in incoming folder and in fact it moves it to the destination folder. What is really annoying is that it leaves me at the import settings dialog and then I have to make all these choices as I would if I were manually importing.
Shouldn't the images be places in the desination folder and some view of that image be displayed in LR? It could be the folder view or ideally I want to see the last image imported at 1:1 size so I can review it and see if I want to take another shot? Maybe there is some flag I've got set incorrectly.
During a clean install of LR4 it comes up with an "Import" dialogue box for importing into LR4.
However my Pics are on an external usb drive and the LR3 Cat I saved to usb. Whats the process to install this type of setup
I'm running Lightroom 4 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and using Elements 10 as my external editor. When I right click and select EDIT IN and choose Elements, nothing happens. When setting up Elements as my editor for LR, I'm sure I chose the right folder for Elements. I also tried deleting and restoring the defaults and then setting up Elements again.
