Importing images is different than adding a folder of images to your Luminar Library. Importing physically moves your images or lets you create a copy of your images to a new location. You can import images from an internal hard drive, and external hard drive, and even a memory card. You can import images from the Open Button Menu, by clicking directly on a folder or subfolder in the Library Side Panel, or through the Menu Bar.
The Open Button menu is located in the upper left side of the both the Library and Edit toolbars. Clicking on the Open Button menu will reveal three options. Hover your mouse over Import Images to, you will see a list of all the folders available in the Library Side Panel.
TIP: Importing from the Library Sidebar. You can import images directly from the Folders area of the Library Sidebar. If you right-click on an existing folder in the Library side panel and choose Import Images to this Folder…
If you want to have the data exist in two locations (the original drive and the new targeted folder) be sure to use the copy command.
The process of Moving images from a hard drive is nearly identical to Copying. The key differences is that that images will exist in only one location after the successful move.
NOTE: This will physically move the original photos to the selected folder in your Library and its corresponding folder on your hard drive. The original photo will be deleted from its original location once it is moved into the new location. If importing from a SD memory card, if the card is locked the images will not be erased.
To make it easier to find your best photos, Luminar offers several ways to organize imported images. These commands automatically build subfolders based on different image or folder properties. Just click the Organize menu in the Import dialog to choose one of these options.
If you want to import images into a new folder, you should create this before opening the Import dialog.
You can create a brand new master folder in your Luminar Library.
