Importing photos

Four ways in: the Import Images button in the photo library, the import option in the top menu, Cmd/Ctrl+I, or dragging files straight from Finder or Explorer.

Drop anywhere in the app and your images are placed in the photo library.

Dropping files on the canvas does two things at once: imports them to the library and builds a spread from them, matched to how many verticals and horizontals you dropped.

Export files with new names into the Return Folder from Lightroom or any other application and they are added to the Photo Library. If they arrive while the project is closed, you are asked whether to add them the next time a project opens, so nothing lands in a project uninvited. This can be turned off in Settings.
