Actually, I've loaded bigger groups in the past, but that was with LR2. I notice that LR4 is almost nine times the size of LR3, which could result in a memory problem. However, I think I looked at the Activity Monitor when I first started getting these crashes, and there was no shortage of free memory. >Herb, > >I'm not a mac or LR user, but, I have had similar experience with >Windows XP and PS Elements, when I try to import very large numbers >of images in one batch. > >I copy files from my camera to a separate folder, in my case, on a >dedicated hard drive.
