Hi and thanks for your great video. I just have a problem: in preferences and then in LaunchingI dont know which folder I heve to select, in order to directly import the pictures into lighroom classic. I only found LR normal (lightroom. exe) but dont find the classic LR folder. How does it look like and where is it, as I have many LR folders in my external drive(Catalogue lightroom 2-2Helper Dta, Previews. Irdata, Sync. Irdata etc. Which one is the correct one? Thanks for your help: -)

thank you for this video, very helpful and i'm really enjoying using Lightroom a lot more now.
I do have a Question, im not sure if its a LR or a PM Q. I shoot with a Nikon D610 and i like using the BW and Sephia mode that is present on the Camera itself. However, after importing the pictures to LR it no longer maintains the mode i shot but has them all has BWs. is there a way to maintain the BW/Sephia etc in LR?

Another thing. When I select a couple of photos in PM and choose 'Edit Photos', Lightroom opens and shows the import dialog. Unfortunately the selected photos aren't checked in the Lightroom import window. Am I missing something? Maybe a setting?
I've given the photos a 5 star rating, but that shouldn't be the cause. Even if I don't give them a rating it should check the ones in LR which I've selected in PM.

Question, use to I was able to right click in Photo Mechanic and select edit images in Lightroom. I was deleting stuff to make space on my computer and while I still have access to Lightroom and click edit photos with Lightroom, now nothing will open up. How do I change this so I can right click in Photo Mechanic again and edit in Lightroom as before?

Thanks for the tips. Is there a way to add lightroom AND photoshop so I can select from a dropdown to send to?
Also another tip I found: there is a preference in my PM to go to next photo after tagging or rating, makes culling much quicker as you don't have to advance to next photo it does it automagically.

In minute 5: 19 it is explained that you should mark all the desired pictures and then transfer them to Lightroom via Images -> Edit Photos. But for me then only a desired image is marked in Lightroom, but not all of those previously marked in Photo Mechanic. What can that be?

Excellent tutorial Andrew! Succinct and full of useful information. I just downloaded the trial and wanted the quick downlow on how to get started culling with Photo Mechanic and then bringing over to Lightroom. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

(2017): Adobe changed how apps accept images from other applications.
New work flow Photo Mechanic to Lightroom?
Old way no longer working for me.
Lightroom culling is now competitive, Photo Mechanic worth it?
Cheers,

After warching the video many time I was able to get it to import the files selected but I had a issues. LR needed to be closed for the import to work otherwise it went to the import dialog window and asked for a source file.

I've tried linking Photo Mechanic to both Lightroom 5 and Lightroom CC. 2015 and it pulls all the images through and does not have the original selected files from photo mechanic selected? What could be wrong?

Great video, BUT. after importing the photos into Lightroom, Lightroom still has to render the previews etc. thus slowing the process down. You can't begin editing immediatelly. Am I correct?

This doesn't work. When you edit photos Lightroom only checks the first image selected in Photo Mechanic. Maybe on Mac it works, but not on PC with these versions.

What would be nice is a way for LR edits to transfer back to the files viewed with PM (without having to export back.
