How do I know? I honestly don’t say this in an arrogant way, so please don’t take it that way – just trying to help frame things. I’m probably among the top 3 in the world in numbers of face-to-face and online training of Lightroom. Here’s what I can tell you about the Import process in Lightroom. And while in my jail cell, rather than calling home to get bailed out, I broke down and wrote this post (pretty nice of them to let me bring my laptop in with me huh?). Several of us were eventually taken to jail. We got in to fist fights, car chases ensued and all mayhem broke out over this. I totally snapped! I broke! I started swearing and throwing things at them. I was talking to a group that were all Lightroom users, and they were bashing the new Import dialog. But this past week was a tipping point for me. For me, I couldn’t understand it, but I was going to leave it alone. The Lightroom team doesn’t communicate with me anymore, but if I did have a line in to them, I would have said Well Done! But… (there’s always a but right?), there was a huge outcry from Lightroom users to bring back the old Import dialog. Personally I thought it was a great idea.
Lightroom 6.2 import duplicate images update#
Last month Adobe released an update to Lightroom that changed the way the Import dialog looked (and worked in some ways).

Enjoy the new (I mean old) Import dialog ?

My “New Import Lovers” club that I speak of below is now closed and not accepting new members. If you haven’t tried the new (and better in my opinion) Import dialog, you never will. UPDATE: I’m very sad to say that the latest Lightroom update has rendered this post useless.
