USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 4
Importing photos
Last updated 11/26/2012
Specify import options
After you choose the photos you want to import (see “Import photos and video into a catalog” on page 29), use the File
Handling, File Renaming, and Apply During Import panels on the right side of the import window to specify options
for the photos you are bringing into your Lightroom catalog.
Back up photos during import
❖ If you’re copying or moving photos into the catalog, you can create a one-time copy, or backup, of the original
photo files. In the File Handling panel on the right side of the import window, select Make A Second Copy To and
specify a location.
Note: You still need to regularly back up your photos and catalog. For more detailed information on backing up
Lightroom, see
“Backing up the catalog” on page 56.
Specify duplicate file handling when importing
Lightroom determines a photo is a duplicate of another file in the catalog if it has the same, original filename; the same
EXIF capture date and time; and the same file size. You can instruct Lightroom to disregard duplicate files when
importing.
❖ In the File Handling panel on the right side of the import window, select Don’t Import Suspected Duplicates.
Specify initial previews when importing
As photos are imported, Lightroom can immediately display a photo’s embedded preview, or display higher-quality
previews as the program renders them. Embedded previews are created by cameras and are not color managed, so
embedded previews don’t match how Lightroom interprets the camera raw files. Previews rendered by Lightroom take
longer to generate but are color managed.
❖ In the File Handling panel on the right side of the import window, choose an option from the Render Previews
menu:
Minimal Immediately display images using the smallest previews embedded in the photos. Lightroom renders
standard-size previews when needed.
Embedded & Sidecar Display the largest possible preview available from the camera. This option may take longer than
a Minimal preview but is still faster than rendering a standard-size preview.
Standard Display previews as Lightroom renders them. Standard-size previews use the Adobe RGB color space and
are what you see in the Fit zoom level of the Loupe view. Specify the Standard preview size in the Catalog Settings
dialog box. See
“Set preview cache” on page 32.
1:1 Display previews that are a 100% view of actual pixels.
Rename photos when importing
When copying or moving photos into the catalog during import, you can specify how the files are named.
1 In the File Renaming panel on the right side of the import window, select Rename Files.
2 If you choose a naming option that uses a custom name, type the name in the Custom Text field.
3 If you don’t want a numeric sequence to start with “1,” enter a value in the Start Number field.
Note: For more information on custom names, see “Naming options” on page 33.
