I will be shooting a lot of family and group photos for a Credit Union and I am going to use Lightroom 2 to auto import the photos as I shoot them. When you go into the setting for auto import it wants to but the photos in a sup-folder. Is their a way around this? I won’t to make my folders be for time to speed things up a little.

In the import dialogue box, Under Organize, make sure that "Into One Folder" is selected, not any of the options below it, and make sure put in subfolder is unchecked.

Welcome to Lightroom Forums cbrown!

Also make sure the watched folder is empty when you start and don't put the camera off or it will loose link and you will have to start the process again. Hope you understand that you need a separate application to bring images from camera to the watched folder.

When using the Canon Utility you have a monitor folder and then in Lightroom you have a monitor folder which is the same as in the utility. Then you have a destination folder (sup-folder), so you have to name the destination folder before every sitting to try to keep it all a little organized. I will be shooting two weekends about 25' sittings 15mins. apart, so if I could make the folders beforehand it would help a lot.

One other thing. Should I use a CF card or not.

I have and I am going to do it again tonight. Just wonted to see if this was the easy way or there was a better way? The making of the folder before had would make it a lot better. But I don’t think I can do it.
I just thought some one has done this in the past and could give me a little advice.

Thanks for your help.
