I put the import preferences toward the end of the Importing chapter
because I figured that, by now, you've imported some photos and you know
enough about the importing process to know what you wish was different.
That's what preferences are all about (and Lightroom has preference controls
because it gives you lots of control over the way you want to work).
Choosing Your
Preferences for
Importing Photos
Step One:
The preferences for importing photos
are found in a couple different places.
First, to get to the Preferences dialog, go
under the Lightroom menu on a Mac
or the Edit menu on a PC, and choose
Preferences (as shown here).
Step Two:
When the Preferences dialog appears, first
click on the General tab up top (shown
highlighted here). Under Import Options
in the middle, the first preference lets you
tell Lightroom how to react when you
connect a memory card from your cam-
era to your computer. By default, it opens
the Import window. However, if you'd
prefer it didn't automatically open that
window each time you plug in a camera
or card reader, just turn off its checkbox
(as shown here).
