Question

Importing imported photoshop but duplicating

Hi all. I'm having a strange behavior here and dunno if this is related with the latest Lightroom Classic updates. I have my catalog with a lot of photo and sometimes I find photos from my computer and just to check if they are imported on my catalago, I select the folder to import and if the phots are not highlighted, they are on my catalog. I always worked like this.


These days, I tried to do the same thing with some photos and Lightroom Classic shows all the photo as not part of my catalog, but I check on the photos folder and all are there and on the catalog too on lightroom.

 

Dunno why this is happening now, but there is a way to "validate" all the photos on the catalogo to avoid duplicated imported photos? Checked the metadata of the photos that are "duplicated" and are the same of the original imported on the catalog.

Thanks.

Did you check that "Do not import suspected duplicates" is still turned on in the import dialog? Maybe it got turned off and you did not notice.

Yes, this option is checked on File Handling.

Hey @marcello_cruz! Are you still having this issue? A new update for Lightroom Classic was just released. Could you update and see if the problem persists? If it does, can you share some screenshots of what you're seeing so we can better understand the issue? Thanks!
