One of the big differences between iPhoto and Lightroom is how they store your image files. It does not work with the new Photos app Library. You use it once and then abandon the obsolete Aperture/iPhoto apps. ![]() The Aperture/iPhoto import plugin is a one time function to convert your Aperture/iPhoto Library into a LR catalog. ![]() You only need one app to manage your image inventory LR, iPhotos, and the Photos app are image managers. Since Apple did away with the AutoImport folder in iPhoto, I have started using Dropbox to automatically capture my iDevice images and place them in a watched folder where LR will automatically import them. I have the Photos App turned off and only use it to copy exported images to the iCloud Photostream. It does not need to be any faster than this if you want to prevent unwanted disasters. With this you get a warning dialog with an option to remove the files from the catalog OR delete from the disk. You can fine it on the menu or you can use the shortcut key. At some point you may decide to delete these rejected photos. If you put a filter on your grid view these disappear from view. With LR you can flag undesirable images as rejected (x). Deleting is really not such an important thing to do up front. Johan has already described how to delete image files quickly (and risky). That said, iPhoto and LR do not play well together. You should really upgrade the OS to Yosemite (soon to ElCapitan) When you do that, the iPhotos app will go away to be replaced by the new Photos app that mirrors the functionality found with iOS devices. iPhoto is an obsolete app that Apple no longer supports. Or if there is a post on this subject I have missed. I am not a Lr expert if there is something I am missing about using Lr for sharing or importing please let me know. I have also found that sharing is much easier using iphoto and icloud than any option I have found in Lr, is there something I am missing?Īnd now that apple is switching to photo from iPhoto does that affect any of what I am trying to do above? Do you have the option of creating any file structure when importing with Lr or are they all in one default folder? Do the edited pictures get imported or just the original, or both? Do I have any choices of what Lr imports? Can I pick and chose what it imports, by album or individual selections? Does it import what's in the trash (I hope not)? How does the plug-in import function work, is it one shot deal or can I use it over and over and it will keep track of what I have imported before? After I have done my initial sort and delete on iphoto am I better off doing an export (full size) in iPhoto and standard import into Lr or using the iPhoto plug-in import function of Lr 5.7? The one key stroke delete along with along with a devoted photos trash works better for me than Lightroom sequence. There times when I literally have hundreds of photos to delete. So far I have found that iphoto to be more efficient for deleting. I found that first and biggest job in photo organizing is deleting photos and shrinking unimportant photos. ![]()
