[@wolfamri]

Glad you like them! 🤗

[@pranjallkumar2374]

this was a great video. this will totally change how i import my images. i never bothered to look into importing files in this detail before.

[@wolfamri]

Glad it was helpful! I can totally relate. For so long I haven't bothered about Lightroom in general. Until I found out how powerful it really is.

[@edwtg59]

Another outstanding tutorial! Saved me countless hours...many thanks! You mentioned another video on your backup strategy...I looked through your catalogue and couldn’t find it, perhaps I just missed it? Can you post a link? Thanks again!

[@wolfamri]

Thanks, Terry. I‘m afraid I was slower than expected. I wanted to upload it right away, but then decided to do a joint venture with a friend who is more windows savvy. I‘m a mac guy. I’m afraid it will take a bit more time 😬. Sorrrry!!!

[@geertsmets178]

Thanks for all your magnificent videos that I saw. Is it possible that you make a review of the free Nikon nx studio and compare it with Lightroom? Thanks in advance!

[@wolfamri]

Thanks so much, Geert. I need to investigate, but I guess Nikon NX only works with Nikon cameras.

[@geertsmets178]

@@wolfamri , For Raw Yes, for JPEG you can use the program for any camera!

[@joronjo305]

I find lightroom to be one of the most aggravating programs there is to figure out. With your help, I got my pictures from my picture folder the laptop to lightroom but don't know how to work on them from there.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks, Jo. Please continue with the next video in the playlist. I swear you’ll soon love lightroom 😉

[@andreasbadjura]

Hard drives can fail. No. They DO fail 🙃🙂

[@wolfamri]

🤗🤗

[@idhamrodzali6091]

love the video so much. One thing though, can you not put music too loud, because your voice is at 40% volume but the music is 95%. it gives mini heart attacks every time.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks for your feedback, Idham. Sorry for the heart attacks 😬🤣. I‘ll change that for new videos 🙏

[@danielsahagun4367]

Sir: Can you teach me your system please? I don’t know how to do the input dialog pop-up. Thanks in advance for your answer

[@wolfamri]

Hi Daniel. I'm not sure what problem you are exactly facing. What do you see and what don't you see?

[@danielsahagun4367]

Dear Sir: Thanks for your answer. My problem is; how to import my photos from my Memory Card to Lightroom, just like you. You say: “….on my system when I have Lightroom open and insert a card into the card reader the input dialog will automatically pop up…” When I do the same, nothing happens (my Preferences are set the same as yours. Please can you help me? Thanks again

[@wolfamri]

Keep watching, Daniel. I explain that from 3:15 in this video.
