I'm attempting to move my workflow from Aperture to Lightroom 5.5. One of my primary organization tools is Aperture Projects which are analogous to Lightroom Collections. The Aperture import module allows you to quite easily specify the Project to assign photos to, and they're automatically added as they're imported. In Lightroom I can't figure out a way to do the same thing. I end up having to do the Import, then select all photos in the "Previous Import" Smart Collection, and manually drag them to the Collection they belong in.
I can see ways to rename, and to add metadata to the imported photos, but there doesn't seem to be a way to assign to Collections. I suppose I could add a keyword to the photos then setup a smart collection for all photos with that keyword, but that seems like the long way around for what *should* be a simple task...
Am I just missing an option somewhere?
