CR2 files grayed out, trying to import

Hi-

Using LRCC 2015.14 release, Camera Raw 10.1

Trying to import .CR2 files from a hard drive, not directly from the Canon 5Dm3 with which they were shot...

I can see the images grayed out, there's no error message - but I cannot 'check' any of them for import into Lightroom.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

    Just a thought, have these files been previously imported?

    Thanks to both of you. Nailed it. Case closed.

    Greyed out indicates you have previously imported the files, and they should NOT be imported again. Instead of importing, you need to find the photos in the Library Module and then you can perform any Lightroom task on these photos.
