Lightroom: Import RAW only, not JPG

I have another issue is that i shoot raw and when i import my image on Lr on iphone its jpeg, how to solve this issue so that i can have my raw format, thanks

I have a macbook pro; this is a solution after you import:

While you can't import RAW only, once the import is finished (in Library > filter > any searchable field > contains all > [Type] jpg and ENTER/RETURN

This will separate all your jpgs; simply select all and delete. All that remains are your RAW (DNG).

I have exactly the same issue as a workaround I made a little script to delete JPGs after I import or even later.

$dngList = Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Users\Steve\Pictures\ -Filter *.dng -Recurse

foreach ($dngFile in $dngList) {

        $jpgFilename = $dngFile.FullName -Replace "[Dd][Nn][Gg]$", "jpg"

        if ( Test-Path $jpgFilename)

        {

                $jpgFilename

                Remove-Item $jpgFilename

        }

}

This code look for all *.DNG files on a directory recursively. Then it test if the same name but with .JPG exists then it delete the .JPG

Change the path to whatever location you're using. You must run this under Windows PowerShell.

I hope it helps you. It's very annoying Lightroom doesn't have the option to not import the JPG.

I am trying to import BOTH raw and jpg images BUT oddly only the RAW files are showing up, even though they are different images altogether.  See screenshots showing the entirety of the folder with both raw and jpgs, but LR only showing the raw files. I am sure I am doing something stupid.  I called Adobe support and after going through 10 prompts and leaving my call back number and holding for a person, it hung up on me.

Is there a LR expert out there I can rely on?

Thanks!

I think you are missing the point of LR.

LR is design to handle all your images not just some of them.

Using 2 different image management and editing software programs is counter productive to having a well managed image collection and being able to sort and find images you might need, for whatever reason.

I suggest you pick one, LR or Apple Photos, and stick with it for all your image management.

Not every setting is able to produce RAW files.

In-camera HDR for example and some of the apps save to JPG.

So even if I filter to JPG I have to then manually filter out the ones that do not have a RAW copy.

That you can save both formats doesn't mean you'll always need both.

I think it would be neat if LR offered more control in the import dialog.

I have JPG files in my LR library without a RAW substitute, how should I filter those out then?

My camera has 1 SD slot.

It seems very strange to me that LR is unable to deal with this.

Depending on your camera, there is a way to do this in camera.  On my Nikon D7000, there are 2 card slots.  I can program the camera to put NEF (raw files) on one card and JPG on the other.

There is no function in Lightroom to import RAW only in your case.

You probably need to pre-sort the photos using your operating system (RAW in one folder, JPG in another) and then import just the RAW.
