 * I cannot find a way of “importing” images I have in the Media Folder of WordPress.
   Is there a way of doing this, without having to upload them, again, into NextGen?
 * Thanks

 * [@apneamd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apneamd/) – Under Gallery > Add
   Gallery / Images there is an Import option … it is not the most ideal as it will
   import all of the images in your specific upload folder (which includes all of
   the various sizes created by WordPress and as relevant your theme) but it is 
   possible to then delete those size variations afterward.
