Title: Import from Card to External Drive
Post by: kollio on September 24, 2011, 01:24:35 pm

I'm trying to figure out how on one import from a CF card I can copy onto two external drives - one drive would have the DNGs and one would have the original RAW back ups.  It's driving me nuts.  If you know, I'd appreciate a recommendation.  Thanks!

In the import dialog, check the "Make a second copy to:" box (top right, in the "File handling" panel). If you "Copy as DNG", the main library will take the DNGs and the original raw files will go the folder you select as a second copy. I've used my iPod in this way on many occasions and it works well.
