I am evaluating the product, and as I was told to expect this is an impressive product to import many RAW images with Speed.

When I select multiple photos and then select 'edit photos', LR5 launches, in the import dialog, with only a single photo selected.

I have selected photos the following ways;
1) click the first then ctrl-click the last in a row, the border turns yellow on them all
2) on each photo, hit the '1' key and having the color added, then select from the pull down, select color-winner, then select edit photos

what am I missing?

Unfortunately, Adobe has changed the way LR handles the import a number of times. It seems to work fine on some systems and not others.

Right now the most effective workaround to get photos from Photo Mechanic into Lightroom has been to select the photos in PM and drag them to Lightroom.  The import into LR then has all the photos selected.

I hope this helps
