In the New Photos area, choose from the File Handling menu whether to import new photos at their current
4
location or at a new location. If you choose to import at a new location, click Choose and specify a folder. If you
choose not to import new photos, only photos that exist in the current catalog are replaced.
In the Existing Photos area, do any of the following:
5
• Replace metadata, Develop settings, and negative files to override all the settings in the current catalog. If you
choose this option, you might want to select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option to keep a backup.
You can also select the Replace Non-Raw Files Only option to avoid replacing raw negatives. If changes to raw
negative files affect only metadata, selecting this option helps save time.
• Replace metadata and Develop settings only to leave the negative files (the source photos) unchanged. If you
choose this option, you might want to select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy option to keep a backup.
• Replace nothing to import only new photos.
• If photos in the current catalog are missing and can be found in the imported catalog, indicate whether you want
to update the metadata and Develop settings for this file. Select the Preserve Old Settings As A Virtual Copy
option to keep a backup. If the photos missing in the current catalog appear in the imported catalog, specify
whether the missing files are copied and where they copied to.
Click Import.

Import photos from Lightroom 1.0
The Lightroom 1.0 catalog (previously called a library or database) you were using previously should be converted
when you first start Lightroom 1.1. In some cases, such as when you created multiple libraries, you need to open the
Lightroom 1.0 library in Lightroom 1.1 before you can import photos from that library.
1 Choose File > Open Catalog, and then double-click the Lightroom 1.0 library database file (Lightroom
Database.lrdb).
By default, the library database stored in the Lightroom folder inside the My Pictures (Windows) or Pictures (Mac
OS) folder.
2 Click Relaunch to close the current catalog and open the selected database file. When prompted, click Continue.
After the Lightroom 1.0 database file is open, you can import the files into a Lightroom 1.1 catalog. For example, you
can choose a different catalog (such as Lightroom Catalog.lrcat) from the File > Open Recent menu, and then choose
File > Import From Catalog to import the files from a Lightroom 1.0 database.
