Color photos show in B&W in Library after import to LR4

Sep 3, 2012 4:31 AM

How can this possibly happen? The section Apply During Import in the import dialog screen has a field for Develop Settings, but this field says None, so nothing should happen to the photos during import. So why do the display in B&W in Library?

    While it says "none" in the Import dialog box when you checked, how do you know it said none when you did the import?

     

    In the develop module, under History, look at the bottom entry. For example, one of mine says Import/POP meaning I added the POP Preset at import time. What does yours say?

    You probably have set a development default.

     

    With one of the problematic images selected, go to develop, hold the Alt (Opt on Mac) key and press the "Set Default..." key (formerly "Reset") in the lower right. In the box that comes up, press the "Restore Adobe Default Settings" button. Try another import.

     

    If that fixes things for new imports, you'll need to manually fix the others. Holding the Shift key and pressing "Reset (Adobe)" will do the trick.

    Thanks a lot both of you. This happened to a firend of mine. I know the status by doing one more import and dobbel checking all settings. I will examine history and and Default settings, but it will probably take a few days, becouse of travel activity. Thanks again.
