I have for several years followed you and you are a champ in the way you explain stuff in Lightroom or Photoshop 🥇🙏👍😁

Hey Julieanne! I wonder if you could show a simple way to import certain images from an iPhone. For example, I have a number of "family" photos on my phone, but have recently taken say 25 RAW images for my creative work. When set to "import" all images are displayed & I have to uncheck all & then click on all 25 one by one to import. Is there a quicker way to be selective on what is imported from my phone? Thanks in advance!

Julieanne, you're one of the very best explainers of Adobe products I've ever watched here on YouTube, so thanks for this recent series of explanations about how LRC works.

That said, I'll never understand why anyone would willfully choose to use LRC as their goto photo editing app. This video again demonstrates just how convoluted working with LRC can be. Yikes! The best features of LRC (masking) can be accessed in ACR so why bother with this unwieldy beast?

IMO, the only good things about LRC is that your original raw files remain untouched and it has powerful keyword management capability.

Bridge and Photoshop will remain as my photo managing and editing programs, only using LRC only for quickly searching my whole collection for keyworded photos.

The ‘watched folder’ is new to me. Would have saved me so many headaches before had I known learned about this earlier. Always learning new ways to speed up my work flow with you. Thanks much.
