Uploading in LR3

Apr 3, 2012 12:53 PM

I recently returned from a vacation where I shot with two Canons, plus my iPhone. When I uploaded to LR3 my goal was to move photos from all three devices into a folder called 'March' within my master 2012 folder. The two Canon uploads landed in the March folder, but the iPhone photos seem to have created a duplicate 2012 master folder, and a duplicate March folder with just the iPhone images in it.

 

How do I avoid this going forward?

And how best to move the iPhone photos into the March folder with the Canon images?

 

Thanks

 

Greg

    In the Grid View select all of your i-phone photos (Ctr./Cmd + A) and drag-and-drop them to the folder you wish them to be.

    My photos are stored on an external drive.

    I thought I remember advice about Not making such changes in LR, but on the drive directory.

     

    Am I remembering that wrong?

    By the way, I tried using snag-it to include a screen shot in this string, but had no luck pasting it into this forum.

    No, it's the other way round.

    If you make such changes in Mac Finder / Win Explorer you get "missing folder" / "missing image" messages because Lr ha  lost track of where the images are.

    Do it in Lr and you'll be OK.

    To include a screen shot you have to save it as a jpg then click on the camera icon in the header of your answer and navigate to where you saved the jpg.

    OK, thanks for the info.

     

    I'm at work now, but will try your suggestions at home tonight.
