USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 2 39 Importing photos 5 In the Existing Photos area, do any of the following: • Replace metadata, Develop settings, and negative files to override all the settings in the current catalog. If you choose this option, you might want to select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option to keep a backup. You can also select the Replace Non-Raw Files Only option to avoid replacing raw negatives. If changes to raw negative files affect only metadata, selecting this option helps save time. • Replace metadata and Develop settings only to leave the negative files (the source photos) unchanged. If you choose this option, you might want to select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option to keep a backup. • Replace nothing to import only new photos. • If photos in the current catalog are missing and can be found in the imported catalog, indicate whether you want to update the metadata and Develop settings for this file. Select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option to keep a backup. If the photos missing in the current catalog appear in the imported catalog, specify whether the missing files are copied and where they copied to. 6 Click Import. Importing photos automatically The Auto Import feature automatically imports photos into the Lightroom library by monitoring a watched folder for photos and then moving the photos into a managed folder in the library. The feature has many uses. For example, if your camera manufacturer's software provides a tethered connection feature and can download the photos to a watched folder, Lightroom can monitor the folder and automatically import the photos as they're being taken. Auto Import does not import images from a subfolder of a watched folder.
