Trouble importing photos (Lightroom Classic CC 7.5)

  • September 10, 2018

When trying to importphotos from my SD Card - Lightroom shows no images at all.
Camera RAW is up to date - EOS 5D III camera up to date.

Have tried to move my RAWfiles to a different folder - but with the same result. Have also tried to connect the camera directly to LR, but no difference here.

Even after using the Adobe DNG converter LR can't see the images (tried just to move them)

Anyone with a suggestion?

Hi

sorry - but the new catalogue did'nt Work

I suggest that its Lightroom that is the problem. I have tried to import images from the same SD-Card on a different computer - this worked out fine!


Then uninstall Lightroom and reinstall it. Don't worry, that won't affect your catalog.

Yes, I tried all ideas

- Played with "Do not import suspected duplicates" option

- Tried to copy files to c:\tmp and import from there

Seems import stopped working completely

Is "Don't import suspected duplicates" checked in the import dialog? If so, Lightroom may not show the images because it thinks they have already been imported.

Hi Johan
Thanks for your suggestion - yes, I have tried to import with and without this one checked.

Ok, last suggestion. Create a brand new catalog and try to import them into this catalog. Does Lightroom see the images now? If yes, then there is a problem with your current catalog. If no, then there is a problem with Lightroom itself, or with the images. Try to import some other images then, to see which is more likely.


Hi Johan
Good point - but it did not make any difference But thanks for the thought
