Tagged images to Lightroom

[JochenB]

Hello,
despite tagged images, all images are imported into Lightroom

My process:
I choose Windows with "T" the good pictures
I'll show my gatagged Images
I select all tagged photos with Ctrl + A from (now of a different color)
With Edit Picture to Lightroom opens
Now Lightroom want to import all images also rejected. It is also only an image in Lightroom with a hook !!!

Try using drag-and-drop instead.  Drag the selected photos and drop them into Lightroom.

Lightroom doesn't work well as an Editor from PM.

I use Cmd & Y which sends the selected photos to a Folder on my desktop. This folder i have set up in Lightroom as an 'Auto Import' folder so it will immediately import to Lightroom.

Might work as a workaround for you too

I use the drag-and-drop method to move my Tagged images into Lightroom, which works for me because I have my file system set up to have my images stored by date and LR handles that for me nicely especially if I'm dealing with a multi-day shoot. I initially ingest into a folder on my desktop, process to Tag images and add metadata, then drag-and-drop only the Tagged images to import them into LR. When that's complete, I delete all of the images in the Desktop folder, remove the CF or SD card, and format the card(s) in the camera so I'm ready for the next shoot. Then I Develop in LR, add any additional keywords, and Export for posting...and then I'm done with that shoot.

As mentioned, drag-and-drop works best for me.  I just let LR decide where to put the photos (PM tends to separate by ingestion date I think, and LR by shoot date, but if drag and drop LR just does its thing independent of any ingestion grouping).

The only thing I don't like about this workflow is that "T" is a toggle.  Sometimes in reviewing photos I might backtrack, and accidentally select the same photo again - which of course un-tags it.

And once in LR if I decide to grab another photo, I just drag and drop that - no tagging, etc. needed.

The '+' (plus) will only ever set the tag.  You can use '+' instead.

Hi Tom

I use Cmd & Y which sends the selected photos to a Folder on my desktop.  This folder i have set up in Lightroom as an 'Auto Import' folder so it will immediately import to Lightroom.

Is there a way to use Cmd + Y that doesn't keep asking where you want the files to go after you've selected the destination folder?

Thanks

If you choose the "Copy to this folder:" option and set a base path and a folder to create, it should never ask you where you want your photos to go.
