p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Can LR4 import JPEGS ONLY and ingnore the companion raw files? | |
IAN... every time I see your name crop up in response to one of my LR question posts, it is like seeing a cool glass of lemonaide in the middle of the hottest afternoon in Death Valley without a car, a cover, or a clue. Thanks, as always, for just showing up.
I do not know how to use Finder in the MAC to isolate files by extension or type.
What I have done since typing my question is check the treat JPEGS as separate files box, and then checked the do not reimport suspected duplicates box, and then pointed LR to the source folder and hit import, check all, and voila, my image count in the folder doubled, this time with all the JPEGS that were not hidden or set associated with the Raws on the original import.
Then, I selected all the images of the Previous Import (which were all JPEGS) and created a new Collection called "Original JPEGS". Now, I'm just going to work on that collection, and leave everything else alone.
Most jobs I do, a professional photo editor who knows what they are doing handles all the post for me, which explains how I haven't been obsoleted into oblivion yet. But once or twice a year, there is no one in the room and I'm left with the keys to a race car I don't know how to drive. This is one of those times.
I broke the job up in segments, so while this segment is resolved, I'm now wondering how to import the next two dozen segments. I don't think I want to import the raw files at all. I really should separate them in the source files at this point. The only program that I'm aware of that can do that is Photo Mechanic. But is it possible to do it in Mac's Finder?
