Importing via drag and drop
Perhaps the easiest way to add photos to your image library is to simply drag a selection of files—or even an entire folder—directly into Lightroom Classic.
The Finder/Explorer window, where you can see the lesson02A folder, should still be open from the previous exercise. Position the window so that you can see the Grid view in the Lightroom Classic workspace behind it.
Drag the lesson02A folder from the Finder/Explorer window onto the Grid view.
In the Import dialog box, the lesson02A folder is now selected in the Source panel, and the photos it contains are displayed in the Preview area.
In the Apply During Import panel, choose your new Metadata preset and type Lesson 02, Hepburn in the Keywords box. Don’t click Import just yet.
