Scratching my head

**mattt** · 01-01-2015, 11:00 AM

I am using Lightroom 5 (latest version but not the cloud subscriber release). Normally I shoot in RAW but thought I'd play around with some of the in camera filters with RAW+. On importing the images, LR only "sees" the DNG files, not the JPG's. I've tried removing the "suspected duplicates" tick box, and All versus New on the import screen but cannot seem to import them. Causes me to scratch my head because when I do in camera edits I am able to import those files. I suspect it is because the files have the same name (but different extension).

Any suggestions?

I had this same issue when shooting the in-camera HDR... I took it as a sign to not use that feature.. or I'm just lazy.

I believe you're exactly right. I'm not sure how to create a default work-around, but I just choose "import" in Lightroom and go select the JPEGs from wherever they've been uploaded (I have mine sorted into folders by date in my general "Pictures" file on my laptop).

Funny thing is it makes the copies to the proper destination, just will not import, not even after the fact.

This one has been addressed frequently on the Internet. It's an easy fix.
1. Lightroom>Preferences>General
2. Check the box: Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos.

I'm not sure if I've understood you right, but in LR4 there is a tick-box (unticked by default) named "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos" (under Edit -> Preferences -> General). That might sort it out?
