2. Re: Lightroom not allowing me to import tif duplicates
Hal P Anderson Jan 4, 2012 12:22 PM (in response to SF Ellen)When you export images for editing in PS, Lightroom passes your image to Photoshop. When you save (or save as) from PS, the resulting image gets added to your catalogue, even if you save to a different folder. That's why it won't let you import. You're trying to import a file that is already where you're trying to import it to. It's already there, so you needn't import it.
There. I've saved you a step in your workflow.

SF Ellen Jan 4, 2012 12:36 PM (in response to Hal P Anderson)Hal,
Thanks--that makes sense to me--I did do additional retouching to the images, and then did a 'save as' which is why I want to re-import. Although, in the future I will save them back to lightroom to save a step.
For now, I added '_final' to each file name, and lightroom did allow me to the import (or re-import) back to Lightroom
