You'll have to hunt through the old catalogs until you find them (which should be pretty quick since you know where the raw files are and can filter by hame or metadata to locate them in a catalog). Once you find them, create a Collection with them and export the collection as a catalog. Then import that into your present working catalog. > In a similar vein, is there a way to import just the photos that haven't > already been imported?

If they're sprinkled throughout the directory tree alongside your already imported work, select the root folder in the Folders panel and use the synchronize command. You can view them in the Import interface to be sure that they're the new images you want to import before actually importing them. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
