Importing photos
Last updated 11/26/2012
5 In the Existing Photos area, do any of the following:
Replace metadata, Develop settings, and negative files to override all the settings in the current catalog. If you
choose this option, you can select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option to keep a backup. You can
also select the Replace Non-Raw Files Only option to avoid replacing raw negatives. If changes to raw negative files
affect only metadata, selecting this option helps save time.
Replace metadata and Develop settings only to leave the negative files (the source photos) unchanged. If you choose
this option, you can select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option to keep a backup.
Replace nothing to import only new photos.
If photos in the current catalog are missing and can be found in the imported catalog, indicate whether you want
to update the metadata and Develop settings for this file. Select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option
to keep a backup. If the photos missing in the current catalog appear in the imported catalog, specify whether the
missing files are copied and where they copied to.
6 Click Import.
Import photos automatically
The Auto Import feature automatically imports photos into a Lightroom catalog by monitoring a watched folder for
photos and then importing them into a destination folder in the catalog. After you specify auto-import settings, you
can simply drag photos into the watched folder, and Lightroom imports them automatically, allowing you to bypass
the import window.
Auto Import is useful if Lightroom doesn’t support your camera for tethered import: You can use third-party software
to download photos from your camera to a watched folder.
If Lightroom starts automatically when you attach a camera or card reader to your computer and you want to turn
off this functionality, change your import preferences. See Set import and file-handling preferences” on page 27.
