Go Lightroom

If you can connect your digital camera directly to the computer, you can import image files to Lightroom directly from the camera.

Photographs can be automatically imported into Lightroom, bypassing the need for a camera card and having to configure the Import settings every time you import a batch of images.

This is also referred to as ‘tethered shooting’ and Lightroom has the ability to do this, but Lightroom will need to rely on other software that can communicate with your camera and put image files to a specified folder location.

This way, Lightroom can be configured to automatically import these images into the library using ‘watched folders’.
