How to Import Your Photos

In the first lesson of the ON1 Photo RAW 2022 Quick Start course, learn how to import images from an SD card into a specific destination using custom metadata and renaming.

This is a real time saver for me. In the past, I would create multiple folders for multiple dates on my card, and that was one thing that I missed about Lightroom, but I'm not about to "rent" that program anymore especially just to do folder management. Thank you! Keep 'em coming!

How do I import photos from iCloud into On1 photo with the correct date? Thanks

How do I download music to my sd card from YouTube on my S12 Samsung mobile phone

Need instructions for importing images from an HDD. Can you suggest a tutorial?

Why not show "Generate Subfolders"? Its like the most important setting, I want it to set up automatic subfolders

OK, I'm almost embarrassed by asking: where can I find within Photo RAW 2022.5 where it tells me how many total photos I have? Thanks!

a simple question: is there any chance that the 2022 version may run on iMac mid 2011? I can only run it on my recent airlock but with much less power. So if I edit all my photos with ON1 2022 will I still be able to see the modifications made when I run the ON1 2021 on my old iMac? Thanks a lot for your answer which will make a difference for me.

Thanks for the tutorial. When I choose a secondary folder for backup, On1 only creates the subfolders structure there (I use yyyy/mm//dd) but leave them empty. The photos are instead imported twice in the main destination folders (it adds “_copy” to the names). Both, the main and secondary destinations are on two separate external drives. I suppose I am doing something wrong, any clue what can it be? Thanks

To be clear. Importing photos is useful to organize pictures with names, keywords and all other paraphernalia in one specific folder. But in the end it is a plain “copy” action. There is no “catalog” activity like it happens with Lightroom for example, no accessory files are created for that new folder or for the single imported photos or some accessory files are created and it is important to have them when editing photos in the same folder otherwise they would created on the original external device or SD card?
I hope I was clear enough expressing my doubt

This hardly seems like what is needed as the first tutorial in a fast course. It seems to me you should show the simplest method of getting an image and then go into actually using On1 Raw to edit that image. I would put this detailed section on how to import an image as the last step in this sequence if at all. Personally I would never import an image, as I have my photos on an external drive and I don't want to clutter my internal drive with these images. From my perspective, it appears I have to get to the 4th video to find anything useful in this "Fast Course."
