Import Settings for Importing Files and Images into Adobe Lightroom 3

(The Lightroom video tutorial in this post is just under the introductory text below. The working files for this video can be found just above the video.)

We have covered the basics of the import dialog box. Now, it is time to go over the import actions, as well as all of the different import settings in detail.

In this Lightroom video tutorial, we will discuss the remaining import options. Choose our final import settings, then import our images into our working catalog.

Once again, be sure to either have your own set of images ready, or download the exercise files for this tutorial series below.

Enjoy!

    Loving these videos! I’m learning a TON. :) Just a question regarding moving the files on import…Why don’t you just name the folder oo_Originals in the first place when you import your files from your memory card? Or just rename the folder that says, “RAW”? It seems like an extra step that is unnecessary, but perhaps you’ll cover it in a later video. 

    Thanks again! :)
