Description

What’s in it for me?

This report will list all photos with both a RAW and NON-RAW version.
Save the list as a CSV file and import it into Lightroom with the Photo list importer Lightroom plug-in into the “LRS_Photo_List” Collection for further processing.

For the difference with the Duplicate file name finder report and the Lighroom plug-in “Find similar file names” see the “Related reports” tab.

This report is can be used in conjunction with the Photo list importer Lightroom plug-in.

Specifications

Lists all photos in your Lightroom catalog or Quick Collection that have not a unique base name.

How does this query work?

Example, say my image has the file name DAH_20130112_9349.CR2.
This report will extract the first part of the file name until the extension: DAH_20130112_9349 (base name called)
Then it will search the Lightroom catalog for all images that have a file name like DAH_20130112_9349.*
So it will find images like:

  • DAH_20130112_9349.CR2
  • DAH_20130112_9349.JPG,
  • DAH_20130112_9349.TIFF,
  • DAH_20130112_9349.TIFF,
  • DAH_20130112_9349.DNG

However, it will NOT find:

  • DAH_20130112_9349_master.TIFF
  • DAH_20130112_9349_web.JPG
  • DAH_20130112_9349_master_BW.TIFF

Save the result as CSV file or any of the other output options, see Export tab.
