[QUOTE="hrh, post: 652426, member: 44385"] Hi everyone I have upgraded from D40 to D7200. In the past I loaded my photos to iPhoto and did a bit of processing sorting etc. there. With the new camera I intend to be more proactive and I have purchased Adobe Classic on a monthly subscription. Should I still be loading direct to iPhoto? That is what I have been doing. I then copy to a desktop file and transfer to Lightroom Classic. I am operating a macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 with approx. 350 gb of space available. When I load to LR I notice the different options 1/copy as dng 2/copy 3/move 4/add At the start I was loading copy as dng. Once I started reading some conversations on the forum I felt it was a mistake to continue that option. Now I use the add option thinking that the original copy(raw)stay in iPhoto. Is that a correct assumption? If the move option is selected does that mean all photos are now in LR and none in iPhotos? Same ? re copy option? I have watched the videos for LR and have been unable to find these answers as well as searching the forum. If the answers are here please just point me in that direction.
