Lightroom 6.2 Import Screen
After a massive outcry from frustrated users, Adobe’s Tom Hogarty announced yesterday that the next dot release of Lightroom 6 would restore the previous import experience.
Previous Import Screen
Lightroom 6.2 took away several features that many photographers (including me) used on a regular basis as a critical part of their workflow.
- Removed the Move feature during import, leaving only Copy and Add options
- Removed ability to have Lightroom eject your card after import
- Duplicate photos could not be imported
- Made import into one folder much clunkier
- Removed file tree in destination panel
- Removed thumbnail filtering by Destination folder
- Removed total file size indicator in lower left corner
- Removed filename preview (when renaming)
Hopefully, Adobe will push out the next dot release sooner rather than later.
Additionally, Hogarty promised to “continue to investigate ways to improve the ease of use of our photography products and will do so via an open dialog, with both existing and new customers.”

Maybe now Adobe will focus more on the needs of professional users, rather than trying to attract the ‘selfie’ crowd.
Brilliant!
Next, can we have Lightroom recognise Nikon cameras when shooting tethered via Macs with El Capitan installed please?
Do you think Adobe is starting to listen to customers? Maybe they’ll roll back the subscription concept and sell P.S. to customers who wish to buy it rather than subscribe. Yeah Fat chance.
Right here is the perfect web site for anyone who wishes
to understand this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with
you (not that Iactually would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject that’s been discussed for years.
Great stuff, just excellent!
