Set import and file-handling preferences
You set import preferences in the General and File Handling panels of the Preferences dialog box. You can also change
preferences in the Auto Import Settings dialog box (see
Specify Auto Import settings” on page 38) and in the Catalog
Settings dialog box (see “Change catalog settings” on page 54).
1 From the Lightroom main menu, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Lightroom > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 In the General preferences, specify the following import options:
Show Import Dialog When A Memory Card Is Detected Allows the import dialog box to open automatically after
connecting a camera or memory card reader to your computer.
Ignore Camera-Generated Folder Names When Naming Folders Tells Lightroom to not use the folder names that your
camera creates.
Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos For photographers who capture raw + JPEG photos on their
cameras. Selecting this option imports the JPEG as a standalone photo. If selected, both the raw and the JPEG files are
visible and can be edited in Lightroom. If deselected, Lightroom treats the duplicate JPEG as a sidecar file, and the raw
file appears with the raw file extension and +jpg.
3 In File Handling panel, specify the following options:
Import DNG Creation Choose the type of file extension (upper-case or lower-case), Camera Raw version compatibility,
and JPEG preview size for imported DNG files. For more information on DNG files and DNG creation options, see
Convert photos to DNG” on page 64.
Reading Metadata Select the options to recognize a period ( . ) or forward slash ( / ) between keywords as designating
keyword hierarchies.
File Name Generation Specify which characters and spaces in the filenames of imported photos are illegal, and
determine how they’re replaced.
