EOS R5 pics uploading directly to Lightroom: how to change this

esmer24 — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:12:09 GMT

I recently purchased a Canon R5. I uploaded my first set up pictures to my Mac computer and all the pictures uploaded in "Lr" and when I go to edit it takes me directly to Lightroom. This has NEVER happened before. Is there a way to change it not to upload directly to Lr. I do most of my editing in Photoshop.

The standard way to handle camera files is to use Image Capture. Run it once to tell it what to do, and it should be automagic from then on.

LR or LR Classic? I upload all of my images from camera to LR Classic, but I have it setup to create new folders by date and put the pictures in the folders, they are also imported to LR Classic, but I don’t have to edit in LRC, as the folder is just a normal folder. If you are using LR (cloud version) I don’t think you can specify where they go, but they should still be accessible from any editor.

i should mention that the are not really imported to LRC or LR, just added to the LR catalog so you have easy access.

Greetings,

Is it possible you have associated your image files to open with Lr?

If so...

To change the default application for a file type on a Mac, you can do the following:

Right-click on the file in the Finder or on your desktop
Select Open With > Other
In the Choose an application dialog box, check the Always Open With check box
Select the appropriate app from the list of applications
Click Open
Click Yes in the dialog box that asks if you want to switch the default application
