USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 4
The Lightroom workflow
Last updated 11/26/2012
3. Choose how to add the photos to your catalog.
In the center of the import window, choose whether to import photos by referencing them, by copying or moving them
to a specified directory, or by copying photos as Digital Negative (DNG) files. If you copy or move photos, specify
where to put them using the Destination panel on the right side of the window. See
“Import photos and video into a
catalog” on page 29.
4. Preview and select photos.
Using the previews in the center of the window, select the photos that you want to import.
5. (Optional) Back up your photos as they’re importing.
If you’re copying or moving photos into the catalog, specify whether to make a one-time backup of the original photos
as they’re imported. See
“Back up photos during import” on page 31.
6. Select the type of previews to display.
Standard-size previews provide higher quality photos in the Grid view. Selecting Minimal uses the embedded previews
in photos and initially displays photos faster. See
“Specify initial previews when importing” on page 31.
7. (Optional) Give your files a custom name.
When copying or moving photos into the catalog, Lightroom by default imports photos using their current filenames.
You can customize the name by choosing an option from the File Renaming panel. For example, you can add a
sequence number. See
“Rename photos when importing” on page 31.
8. (Optional) Set options for importing your photos.
In the Apply During Import panel, set options to apply Develop settings, metadata, or keywords to the photos as
they’re imported. See
“Apply Develop settings to photos when importing” on page 32 and “Apply metadata to photos
when importing” on page 32.
9. Click Import.
Lightroom displays a progress bar in the upper-left corner of the window as it imports the photos. Then it renders
thumbnails in the central area of the Library module.
The Library module: Basic workflow
The Library module is where you view, sort, manage, organize, compare, and rate the photos in your catalog. It’s your
home base for working with photos after importing them into Lightroom.
Photos are displayed in the central area of the Library module in any of four views:
Grid view Displays photos as thumbnails in cells, which can be viewed in compact and expanded sizes. The Grid view
gives you an overview of your entire catalog or specific groups of photos for rotating, sorting, organizing, and
managing. Options are available for viewing information about photos, including their ratings, color labels, and Pick
or Rejected flags in the cells. If you photographed a series of similar photos, they can be neatly grouped in a stack with
the thumbnail of the best showing. See
“Finding photos in the catalog” on page 97 and “Grouping photos into stacks”
on page 76.
Loupe view
Displays a single photo. Controls let you view the entire photo or zoom in to see part of it. Zoom levels up
to 11:1 are available. When you’re in the Grid or Survey view, double-clicking a photo displays the image in Loupe view.
Compare view Displays photos side by side so that you can evaluate them.
