    LR not letting me import the same image in a different folder

    I have always done this on the fly after the event but I thought having a template I could pull right into LR would save time and keep me organized, so in preparation for a wedding shoot, I made a folder template, with sub-folders using Windows Explorer. There are folders for Raw Images...

    Lightroom Classic creates DCIM and xxxCANON folders on import

    I was helping a friend with her Lightroom Classic folders as she had accidentally been importing her photos to her internal drive. I noticed that her Lightroom Classic structure creates DCIM and xxxCANON folders under her intended destination. One other thing that I noticed is that the DCIM...

    Synchronize folder sometimes unusable

    I first noticed this problem when I was on LR version 11.14.1 but I've since upgraded to LR 12.0.1. If I know that I have new photos in a folder already known to LR I've been using Synchronize Folder to add the new photos to LR catalog. This is what's happening now when I try to synchronize...

    Just started using LRC to work with my Aplibraries & want to make sure I understand

    I have a whole bunch of different aplibraries & for the past month or two have been going thru and deleting what I could and merging what I could but I still do have lots of separate libraries. From just a little bit of test using, I gather LRC uses a reference-based system, ie pics stay where...

    .webp import support?

    We have a boatload of external .webp files that we want to catalog in LRc. However, it STILL doesn't support import (or native export) of .webp files. WebP has been around since 2010. Adobe finally added support in Photoshop 23.2 (Feb 2022). Nothing (so far) in LR (and yes, folks submitted...

    Import order based on initial filename

    Hey guys, the following problem has been haunting me for years. It is about the correct file renaming when importing images. I often take more than one photo per second. Therefore, the creation date of some files is identical as the EXIF date only goes done to the second (not to miliseconds...

    Hi, I've just imported holiday images from our iPhones to add to the images taken with my DSLR and have noticed that most jpgs have a 2s video associated with them. I am pretty sure these are part of the iPhone Live mode but just wanted to check that I was correct and to ask whether anyone...

    How to setup Lightroom to automatically remove Chromatic Aberration and apply the appropriate Lens Profile on import

    I kind of like backlit outdoor images and get minor CA on many of them. Lately the Remove Chromatic Aberration and Enable Lens Profiles in Lightroom, both seem to do an excellent job, so I trust them enough now to want those two steps applied during the import process by default. I read some...
