import image(s)

Question

I'm a day and a half into LrC, oh brother. Can I import images from my 'G' (spare) drive, edit them, and then import them In "Destination" into the same folder? I'm pretty sure "ADD" is already highlighted. I think I clicked "COPY," "DEVELOPE" did one sharpen. The "Import" button on the bottom right never did light up.

I did watch 2 videos on this, AND took notes. Just couldn't get "IMPORT" at the bottom right to light up.

If you want the image files to STAY on the G:Drive- then you DO use the [ADD] option in the Import dialog.

The [ADD] option in Import leaves your images where they reside and simply adds a reference (preview) in the Library.

(Your image files are NEVER 'IN' Lightroom-Classic. They are where you place them.)

Understandable that the [Import] button does not light up if you are trying to [Copy] the image files into the same folder where they already exist. The 'Destination'panel will only show in the Import dialog if you are Copying [Copy] or Moving [Move] the files to another Drive or fdolder.
