    Import Import Issue

    Hi I'm new to this forum, but not to Lightroom. Until a few days ago I was happily using 5.7 but after seeing some of the new masking features available on a friends mac, I bit the bullet and bought a year subscription in the black Friday sales. I imported my old 5.7 catalog and have been...

    Library module HEIC files from iPhone not displaying - green screen

    All of my recent photos from my iPhone are not importing correctly into LR. The small thumbnail preview looks fine (grid view), but in Loop View or full screen it is just a green screen.

    Import Import challenge

    If I plug USB directly into Z8, I see both NEF and JPEG versions of each file in the Lightroom import dialogue and can’t figure out how to do the typical import where it’s NEF+JPEG - one file with JPEG image used to display underlying raw data. If I take the card out of the camera and use a...

    Import LrC unresponsive for a long time after import

    My two biggest banes in LrC have been sync and import. With sync under control -- thanks in a large part to this forums -- I want to concentrate on import. Is it me, is it them, or is it just what it is. My average import is 1000 images. I don't think it's considered extravagant. It would have...

    Import Can you specify a default 'Import From' folder?

    For many years, I have been using Breeze Downloader Pro to import photos from camera cards. This works well for both renaming the images and automatically creating a dated folder for each import session, so I don't feel any great need to investigate direct import from card to LrC. My only issue...

    Import iPhone Cinematic Mode Won't Import

    It appears that several years after Apple introduced Cinematic mode for iPhone videos, Lightroom still does not support them. Is that correct? I've just discovered that all my Cinematic style videos won't import. It says: "The video file appears to be corrupted or unrecognizable. We were unable...

    Import LrC Imports originals and edited copies from my iPhone - is this controllable?

    As the title suggests LrC Imports originals and edited copies from my iPhone. Originally I could not workout why there were images in the Previous Import that I could not see in my Photos library. I eventually worked out that LrC is importing the original and the edit I've done in the Photos...

    This maybe a very basic question. I take photos on iPhone that I quickly apply IOS edits to share immediately. Now, when I import these into LR mobile app, is there a way to import the "original" untouched photo? I tested by taking a photo, doing a crop in IOS edit and then importing to LR...

    How to import DNG files from iphone camera roll to LR mobile with edits

    When I import raw (dng) photos from my iphone camera roll to LR Mobile, edits I have made on the iphone are not carried over (i.e., LR Mobile imports the original raw photo). Is there any way to import the edited version, either as an edited dng or even as an edited jpg?

    Importing Files and Creating Folders

    I'm using LR Classic. I import my files into folders based on dates taken. Normally, this isn't a challenge if I am importing one or two days worth of photos. But when I've been away from my desktop, it can be a chore. Picasa, the old Google Photo Editing program, had a nice feature which...

    Import large numbers of RAW files

    I really like Lightroom on the iPad. However, if I import many RAW files at once, the process takes forever. I did the following comparison: Importing approx. 700 RAW files: - took 1:30 minutes on my MacBook Pro M3 - took 3:00 minutes on my MacBook Air M2 - took 1:30 minutes to copy to my iPad...

    The destination folder ... is not available. Using “Pictures” folder instead.

    I found an older thread (4 years) for this message and thought it best to start a new one. I may have shot myself in the foot because I just now noticed the warning above about updating to Mac OS Sonoma 14.2. I have done that. My operating environment is Mac OS 14.2 and Lightroom Classic 13.0.2...
