Hi LR people,
I have been learning LR slowly and after picking up a bit of experience of imports and developing I feel that I need to start afresh. These are the reasons why;
1. I originally imported images from folders on the PC before switching to import from the camera SD card via a usb card reader.
This has resulted in a mess of the catalogue which has general folders (shown in the folders panel of the library) from the original PC folder imports. The SD card imports into LR seemingly auto created Year folder with sub folders by the image date.
I would like to try and create a new clean catalogue that is structured as the SD import style described above. Is there a method to do this given that the images are now in folders which didn't create that format on import. I suppose I could copy the original RAW files onto formatted SD card as have these backed up but hope there may be batter way.
2. I have managed to erase the Develop edit history for all the images to set these to fresh start again ( I was originally asking how to do this). I am looking at ideas to setup a default import profile that adjusts by camera the settings for images to Camera Standard profile and applies lens corrections. Is there a simple way to apply these settings across all my images and save that as a profile for import?
Like others on this forum I have found the Adobe forums and support anything but support. I hope somebody can help.
Thanks Phil.
