If you’re you’re a Mac and Lightroom user, you’ll understand the frustration of importing your photos into Lightroom and having the native Mac photo program automatically opening too.
To stop the Mac Photo program to stop automatically opening follow these simple steps.
- With or without Lightroom open, insert your SD or Compact card into the computer/card reader.
- If the message comes up about the Cloud, click Not Now. Otherwise continue to the import screen.
- UNCHECK “Open Photos for this device”
- Quit Photo program (Ctrl Q)
That’s it. Next time you go to import your photos, the Mac Photo program will not open.
