Lightroom does not import B&W Jpegs with color DNGs

I know this subject was discussed last spring in the Forum, but I couldn't find the thread using the Search function. Here's the problem, which I thought I'd post on this site before consulting Adobe:

 

I usually shoot the M8 in black and white mode, and select DNG + High resolution Jpegs for the capture. But when I import the files (from the memory card thru a card reader, not from the camera via USB cable), Lightroom only shows the color DNGs.

 

Now, if I do the same thing in Adobe CS2 via the Bridge, I get both the color DNGs and the B&W Jpegs. So what gives? This is driving me nuts.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

the jpegs are in your import folder where both the jpes and dngs are stored at import, tehy just don't make it to the user interface for some reason as is the case with aperture.

Go to preferences, Import, and then check the Treat JPG files next to raw as separate photos.

Thanks, Bradley. Sorry for the late reply.

That worked! Thanks so much; it was driving me crazy not being able to see both the B&W and color images side by side.

Good!
