This raises the possibility of later accessing those removed images via this other archive Catalog - plus if desirable, bringing selected images back into the main Catalog. Then just those same images can be removed (if appropriate) from the main working Catalog. So yes, if you can do it, simply accumulating all images in the Catalog is preferable IMO.Īnd if you do decide to take images out of the Catalog eventually, perhaps year by year, and perhaps only the less valued images from a certain year's shooting - this can involve Export as Catalog, copying out a new 'archive' library with selective contents. Such stuff cannot persist except within a Lightroom Catalog. But aside from that, it will be as if the Catalog was seeing these for the first time.Īccordingly all Collection and Publish memberships / virtual and proofing copies / detailed prior develop History / stacking and custom sort / etc that may have previously seen, reset to zero. If you had previously written out editing metadata to those images while they were imported before, then this editing metadata will be automatically re-used at re-import. However if you have removed those images and now you want them back in the Catalog again, then of course you would need to import those a second time - not as a 'double-import' so there is no conflict. In that case a conflicting 'double-import' will only make matters worse, not better. The strong advice you are probably thinking of, is against importing again, as some kind of a "fix" for problems with images that have been imported already (but have not since been removed).
