Let's look at the options available here on the right hand side. And they'll be some quite important options and options the large one will remember. Okay, final one is the first section, because we've set up a destination radio. So fire hand in both previous when you input images Lightroom will use or create previews of your images. The previous that you're going to see in the library module by default, you get a choice of four different kinds of previous in here. Minimal is the smallest the worst one to one is the biggest and the best, but it's more to it minimal and embedded and sidecar are the previews that have been generated by the camera.

So these two kinds of previews Lightroom will not create any previous use itself. They will just use previews that were generated by the camera. Start on a one to one would be generated by Lightroom. Okay, the one of the big differences is a standard one to one Color managed. And Lightroom, as we know, the know, is this prophoto RGB, that's how we set it up in the preferences. Standard one to one, or one to one would be hundred percent premium.

So we preview the size dimensions of the image. I use standard, mainly because I don't need hundred percent preview for every single image in the library. And you can always zoom into 100% view electrical will generate hundred percent preview for you. So the main difference here is, if you standard, the images will import Android previous really quickly Lightroom. But when you zoom into hundred percent view on the image, much more take a second or two to generate 100% preview. If you just want to one launch will take longer to import and generate previews of your images initially.

But then when you zoom into an image to 100% view, you won't have to wait. So I would say as a general rule, if you're going to preview almost always All your images 100% of you use one to one preview. Otherwise use standard Wi Fi built smart, previous smart, previous interesting feature where you can have previews of your images which you can actually develop. See, the thing is, you can only use Develop module and develop images if you have access to them. So for example, if you keep images on an external hard drive, I'm going to discuss a little bit more about it soon. If you disconnect your external hard drive, you won't be able to develop images.

You can still look at them in library module because you get the previews because previously Yeah, but you can develop them. What you can do is you can build smart previews, let Lightroom build smart previews for you. So you can develop images even though you don't have access to them, like the on external hard drive. Smart previews, obviously smaller, they lower, smaller now, but you can develop them and when you connect external hard Lightroom will synchronize. Okay, so smart previews are great if you keep all your images an external hard drive and so you want to go on holiday stick your laptop with you, but lift external harddrive at home. You can always build smart previews later on in the library module.

Simply don't import suspected duplicates. Leave it ticked selection will not import the same image twice. As simple as that. Mexican copy to this is a great feature electron can create a backup of all these images for you. So I'm going to do a second copy. Desktop is just fine.

But you just click on it, you can pick a different location. So we're going to have all the images in my pictures folder and another copy as a backup on the desktop. This is just a backup of the images. Just in case something new you never use never touch. Right? Add to Collection.

This is new in Lightroom CC. You can add images to a collection if you wanted to. They could pick a collection For now, because we're going to talk about collections later. Excuse me, file renaming. You can rename files as you import them into Lightroom. So you could rename them if you wanted to.

Excuse me. So you could rename them. You can change the settings as well. But we'll leave it here for now, because I'll show you how you can easily and quickly rename files in Lightroom in library module. And I don't rename the files in this stage, because I made the delete some of the images, I compose these free images here, and I'll probably delete one or two. So I'm going to read on the lighter I'm just going to collapse this section by clicking on this triangle icon.

Apply during import. You can play some develops into images. The only thing is you don't see previews. But you can see them back in Lightroom. So you could say make all the images black and white, for example. Okay, could you create your own presets, then method data sets, we can create metadata.

So what do you do is your hobbies so you click on new, and you get this dialog box, we can create metadata. So what do you do is, and basic info, no, nothing here, nothing under camera info, because this will be different. Remember your metadata preset here will apply to the images you important to be important images with different kinds of locations or different kind of images. General iptc copyright. Yes. So you put your corporate in here.

Actually, I'm going to show you what I've got in here. So I'm going to click on this preset drop down menu. I'll pick mine. Yeah, it's a good cup of information. You could cooperate status, okay. And then right usage terms copyright info URL.

You can put your name your, you can put your address if you want to, I just put a country in here. You can put your website in here as well. Okay. Nothing else in here. Because this is just general metadata. So All the images we're importing will be copyrighted there with my copyright information here with the website address with my name.

Okay, I could put my email address here as well. I could use a Could it be the manager says if people want to contact me straight from here. Okay, so this is not my preset in here. Some is going to update my preset because I've got one here ready? Okay. Oh, just close it.

So for metadata, I'll choose my preset, and you can add some keywords. But then again, remember, this applies to all the images you're importing. So I'm going to add any keywords here because these are all different kinds of images. So I don't want to apply the same keyword, but you could import images from certain food or photoshoot. You can add keywords here. I'm going to leave it destination we've chosen it already organizing images into one folder.

It goes into your chosen location. We also created a subfolder in here. And now we're ready to click input button, and Lightroom start importing images you see them appear on the screen, it may take a moment because Lightroom is importing images from a memory card. And they might be big like these are raw files. These are like 25 megabytes each. You can see the progress status in the top left corner copying import folders.

So give it a moment and then I will meet you in the next video.
