In reply to Rob Sylvan. Ah, that would make sense now as they come and go for no reason. Thanks for the info and the speed boosting tips.

In reply to Nick Harrison. I have never had files get corrupted during import in 11 years of using Lightroom. File corruption is usually a sign of failing hardware.

In reply to John Horner. I believe they are just local backup snapshots made by Time Machine. They've since gone away on mine.

In the screenshot for multiple cards, I notice two files called “Macintosh HD@snap -xxxxxx”. What are these files and where do they originate from and can you get rid of them (safely)? I have these on my Mac but don’t recall actually creating them, so curious to know where they originated from.

I would never import from more than one card at a time. I have had images corrupt during import purely due to multitasking on my iMac (recent high spec version). I import solely (from Lexar Pro cards) and carry out no other task until import is completed (otherwise such a waste of time finding and reimporting the corrupted files again)
I can recommend all of the other tips, although still wonder if importing with 1:1 previews gives faster sorting, once imported

If under Preferences you check “Make defaults specific to camera ISO setting”, you can then create Default Develop Settings that are ISO specific, and therefore apply different noise reduction settings automatically.

You can import from more than one memory card at once? I have been using Lightroom since version 1.0 and did not know this!!

Thank you so much

That default should also include the standard copyright and related metadata, or put that into an import preset. I shoot at an indoor gym a lot and have both a custom configuration for my camera and a site-specific import preset to speed post-processing. Good stuff thanks.

This is great! Thanks. This means I can stick my two cards in after a Friday night football game, start the download process, go to bed right away instead of staying up to start multiple processes, and wake up Saturday morning with pictures ready to edit. Fantasic!!!
