Lightroom will require you to import the image to be worked on. You CAN drag an image to Lightroom and it will import it in the background, however it will still import into it's catalog.

Lightroom is first a database of your images - importing photos simply adds entries in the database (catalog) that tells lighhtroom where the file is located, create a preview in Lightroom, and maintains the edits (changes) that you make. Changes do not take effect until you EXPORT the finished image, this is why it is non-destructive.

Fighting how Lightroom works is why people have so much trouble with it.

For me, Lightroom and Photoshop compliment each other perfectly, two different tools, two very different editing systems.

I cannot imagine the problems of finding images in a vast library without the use of keywords and virtual collections.

Someone else mentioned, if you don't like using Lightroom properly, stick with Photoshop and make use of ACR - that is basically Lightroom develop with a different interface.

Thanks for you input, I appreciate it.

You probably know this already but.....there is no reason why you couldn't make your LR catalog reflect exactly your existing file/directory system and continue to import and organize in exactly the same way.

Before I even used LR for the first time, I created a system (directories and sub directories) to organize my images the way I wanted and that I could stick with and grow while importing new images via Lightroom (note that I didn't say "into"....images are not imported "into" LR).
Then...I did my first big import to mirror this directory structure.
Now....as I add new images to my HDs....I do it via Lightroom and use Lightroom to create any desired new directories.

If I look at where my images are stored using windows explorer or MAC Finder I see the very same thing I see in the left hand panel of the Library module.

As some others have mentioned.....it you really don't want to create a LR catalog and use it you should just pick a different post processing application.

Thanks for you help. I may give it another try.

So why even bother with any reply?

I'm sorry I thought you asked if "slightly out of focus is ethnically pleasing" I gave you my opinion "not for me". Please accept my sincere apologies for any misunderstanding and that my answer was not appreciated.

Thanks for looking.



•135mm Telephoto Prime Lens
•Fits Nikon F Mount Cameras
•Aperture Range: f/2-22
•Minimum Focus Distance of 2.62' (0.8 m)
•Apochromat Lens; Minimal Aberrations
•Nine Blade Circular Aperture

•Precise Manual Focus




The 135mm f/2 Apo Sonnar T* ZF.2 Lens for Nikon F Mount from Zeiss is medium telephoto lens that offers a wide maximum aperture, vibrant color rendition and attractive out-of-focus background. It maximum aperture of f/2 provides substantial light gathering for sharp, high resolution imaging and lovely shallow depth of field photography. A nine-blade circular aperture will offer harmonious background blur when shooting with minimal depth of focus. Special anomalous partial dispersion glass minimizes chromatic aberrations in this apochromat lens and anti-reflective coating reduces reflections and ghosting. It is a compact lens for its focal length and its "floating elements" optical design consists of 11 lens elements in 8 groups with minimal glass-to-air surfaces. The lens design ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range as well as sharpness to the periphery of the image. A rotation angle of 268º enables precise manual focusing and its all-metal barrel provides longevity and protection for its high-quality design.

A focal length of 135mm provides medium distance telephoto imaging and is also an oft-chosen length for portraiture.

My photos are already organized and I don't care for the interface library module nor have any use for it personally. I don't use bridge either. I shoot jpg and raw, then I weed through my shots with windows photo viewer while deleting with my keyboard the junk. If I like something enough then I "open with" (the raw file) PSCC or Capture NX2 and touch up. Sometimes I thought it would nice to be able to "open with" Lightroom and try those adjustments. Thanks for all the information. I'll stick with Adobe Camera Raw. Regards.

I only import the images I want to work on in the develop module and export them when I'm done. Once in a while Lightroom will import more than I want to but I just uncheck all then check the ones I want to work on in the develop module.

Edit: I don't use keywords either.



Thanks for the help.

Nope but if you are "importing" to your computer outside of Lr then all Lr will do is "Add" them to the catalog without moving them, you can't process your images in Lr without a catalog.
If you haven't been using Lr and now decide to, then it is just a matter of telling Lr where the images are and Lr will import them by creating a catalog which retains the original file structure so nothing really changes except there is now a catalog file which consists of a bunch of file addresses, previews, and editing instructions.

In your opinion. Not everyone needs or wants the library function of Lightroom.

Exactly, I would like to just use develop and have nothing to do with import at all.

Is there a way to skip the library module and just use the develop module. I'm a Photoshop user and do not want to "import" or use "key words". Comments please.

Second Camera

I have been thinking of getting a second camera body. I was wondering what others do in this case. Do you get the same one you have or a little less then the one you have.

I have a Nikon D750. I am thinking of getting another D750. Just asking what others that have two or more bodies do.

Thanks for any help

I would consider Sony RX100. This is my "other" camera to the D800e and I could not be happier. The best camera is the one you have with you! Look here at some shots

Any advantage of pairing a lens to specific DSLR?
imagerybox wrote:
Just got a D7100 and have a D300. So, since I don’t like changing lenses, I was thinking of more or less keeping a lens on each camera. Any advantage of using one lens with either of these cameras even tho they are both DX.
Here are are my main lenses: Tamron 28-300 F/3.5-3.6 VC, Tokina 11-16, Nikon 50 1.8


If it was me I would keep the 11-16 on the D300 and make that the dedicated wide angle set up. Then IMO I would get rid of the other two and replace them. Your 28-300 is really a 42- 450mm and your 50mm 1.8 is really a 75mm 1.8.
You are missing everything from 24-42mm, to me that is a lot of common ground not to have available. For the 7100 I would get an 18-200mm vr (27-300mm) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/644744-USA/Nikon_2192_AF_S_DX_NIKKOR_18_200mm.html when you can get the 35mm 1.8 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/606792-USA/Nikon_2183_AF_S_Nikkor_35mm_f_1_8G.html

Thanks for you complements. The photos were taken early in July 2013 over 12 days. All the photos were taken with a Sony RX100 and for the wide shots I used a Nikon D7000 with a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. I have a Nikon d800e but felt uncomfortable bringing it and now have no regrets.

Excellent photos of a marvelous tour! Your photos are crisp, colorful and great compositions. Looks like you had good weather the whole time. If you don't mind me asking, what were the dates you were there? Also, what was your primary camera and lens setup? TIA
