To see how to EXPORT a catalogue like the one we just Imported into Lightroom read the previous blog How to export a catalogue

You can use this method to bring to class photos you are working on in Lightroom.

 

 

Another Import Method:  Auto Import

Auto Import Settings

 Make a folder on the desktop that you will use for Import You can use the finder to make a folder.

1. This is your destination for the pictures on the hard drive,  choose it using the Finder… If you know which folder you want the images imported to, select that. Or make a Misc or a temp folder and move the images inside LIghtroom.
2. Choose however you want the file renamed
3. Apply a preset if you wish
4. Add Metadata
5. And Key Words
6. Choose how previews are handled.

This is a handy import method to use if you want to do a quick import, like in the classroom…
