You are so right! I had done this way a few days ago. I have to copy the all photos Individual to my another removal hard drive, then import them to the Lightroom, then Lightroom read them. Lightroom shows the import photos will be to DNG format. I don’t know what is meaning.
You must have selected the option "Copy As DNG" while importing the images into Lightroom that's why Lightrom change the image format to DNG while importing images.
Windows 10, I don't know what exact version of LR6 but I just updated yesterday.
it is Nikon D5 camera.
It said no items match your search when I try import the photos from USB.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Don't bother moving the photos to another folder to import them. That is unlikely to help.
We need to know the exact version of your LR 6. Please look it up under Help->System Info (the first row inside the box).
It would help if you give us the EXACT word-for-word error message; but if it said something like "No items match your search", then you have turned on a filter, and you can press Ctrl-L to turn off the filter and then the photos should appear.
What is the exact error message you are getting? If it is something like "the files could not be read", it usually means that you don't have proper permissions on the folder you're importing to.
Make sure that you have read and write permissions on the folder.
Alternatively, import to a different folder where you do have the necessary permissions.
The card type is not important, what matters is the camera model.
So what camera do you have? If it's one of the Z models, LR6 cannot read the files.
You will either have to subscribe to the Photography Plan, which includes the latest version of LR Classic, or use the free DNG converter, which will convert the raw files to DNG files, that can be read by LR6.
