Lightroom problem: Prevent Lightroom<\/strong> dialogue box to open when you use a USB<\/strong> stick or external hard drive. Do it manually instead. This feature can be turned off quickly by selecting \u201cPreferences\u201d in the menu item \u201cEdit\u201d. In the dialog box, uncheck \u201cShow import dialog box if memory card detected\u201d and click \u201cOK\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Likewise, how do I turn off autostart in Lightroom? 1 Correct answer. Edit>Preferences>General Tab….. uncheck the option to “Show import dialog when a memory card is detected”.<\/p>\n Beside above, should Lightroom catalog be on external drive? Your photos must be stored on the external drive. Once the catalog is opened from either computer, changes to the photo are saved to the catalog and can be seen from both devices.<\/p>\n Furthermore, how do I open Lightroom catalog from external hard drive? <\/p>\n Frequent question, how do I import photos from card reader to Lightroom? <\/p>\n More Detail: The Lightroom<\/strong> Classic catalog can be stored on an external hard drive, as long as that drive has excellent performance. If the external hard drive isn’t fast, overall performance within Lightroom can suffer significantly when the catalog is on an external drive.<\/p>\n Open Lightroom CC’s preferences and click the Local Storage option. Enable the \u201cStore a copy of all originals at the specified location.\u201d Click the Browse button and specify a location on your external disk. Click Done.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n So\u2026the answer would be that once you’ve upgraded to Lightroom 5 and you’re happy with everything, yes, you could go ahead and delete the older catalogs. Unless you plan on reverting back to Lightroom 4, you’ll never use it. And since Lightroom 5 made a copy of the catalog, it’ll never use it again either.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Deleting a catalog erases all the work you’ve done in Lightroom Classic that isn’t saved in the photo files. While the previews are deleted, the original photos being linked to are not deleted.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The primary difference to understand is that Lightroom Classic is a desktop based application and Lightroom (old name: Lightroom CC) is an integrated cloud based application suite. Lightroom is available on mobile, desktop and as a web-based version. Lightroom stores your images in the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The most common reason Lightroom can’t import your photos is that it believes the files are already imported. When this happens, certain files will appear greyed out and cannot be imported into the catalog. To fix this, go to File Handling and uncheck the \u201cDon’t Import Suspected Duplicates\u201d option.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
