Really - I've never heard such bad advice (and I'm being nice here) in my life. I bet you still drive a car with a carburetor. I have no more to say.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Very annoying. I wish LR worked like other programs - "Open" a file and "Close" a file.

I still maintain that the beginner can import an image from camera to computer with Photos, display it, print it, name it and save it with a simple interface. (I'm not a Mac user and defer to them.)

How is a beginner, or anyone else, supposed to learn a program, if they don't use it?
I'd say: jump right in, use copies of your photos, and play away.
(I ALWAYS use copies of my photos for editing: one set on an external drive, stored in a safe place, and the "working set" on the computer's HD.
Do make use of the user's guide:
Classic: https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/lightroom_reference.pdf
Total Beginner:https://digital-photography-school.com/total-beginners-guide-to-lightroom-step-by-step/
Classic CC: https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/lightroom_reference.pdf
The way I use the manuals:
1. Find what I want to do in the manual, and follow the instructions.
2. Flip through the manual, and when I find something that looks interesting, follow the instructions.
The nice part is that you can put the pdf files on your computer, laptop, table, cell-phone... and do a search by key-word.

Jerry, I agree with you. With Lightroom you have to learn a whole new way of using files when learning it...

If I understand your question right I had the same problem. Try opening import and allow "Import Duplicates" navigate to the folder containing the missing file. Pictures should not be grayed out and all of them checked for import. Uncheck the all photos button at the top of the page, this important. Find the file you want and check only it for import. Complete the Import sequence. I hope this helps. Don't forget to reset the Import Duplicates dialog before you close LR

My problem is that if I uncheck the do not import duplicates, they remain gray and cannot be imported. Wonder what I am doing wrong?

When you mouse over them do they brighten up? If so check the box in the upper left corner of the image you want and complete the import procedure.

Go back and read the ideas on the first page, and the OP's confirmation of their resolution. You might find these helpful too.

Lightroom is actually a fairly easy program that does not require an engineering degree. There are lots of YouTube videos to help you learn.

LR is extremely easy to learn and use and is well suited to all, not just pros. It is my understanding that even those who shoot "A" for automatic can and do use it.
