Imported pictures number doesn't match

Hi everyone,


sometimes when I import pictures I've got a notification saying that I imported a certain amount of pictures but this number doesn't match with the import section in Photos.


Any ideas as to why this happen?

Your screenshot is showing you the number of imported files, but the "Imports" album is showing you the imported photos. A photo can consist of several files. For example, if you import RAW&JEG pairs, they will be shown stacked as one photo. Or Live Photos are a pair of two files. Photos taken in quick succession may be shown stacked as one burst photo. So the number of imported photos may be less than the number of imported files.
