    Lightroom not allowing me to import tif duplicates

    SF Ellen Community Member

           Hello!

       

      Long boring story--but I have shot and edited a number of images in lightroom, then opened them from lightroom into PS and done final retouching and saved them as TIFFs to a folder outside lightroom.

       

      Now, I would like to re-import these images into lightroom, but lightroom will not allow it--I suspect because they are duplicates of images already in lightroom. However, I have unchecked 'Don't Import Suspected Duplicates and it STILL wont allow it. I cannot figure out why.

       

      I'm on a Mac, running 10.6.8. Lightrom 3.6 and Photoshop CS5.

       

      I'm not sure how to attach a screenshot here, but essentially all the images are 'gray' so they cannot be checked and imported

       

      Thanks for any help at all!
