  LR 5.7 cannot find my files already edited because I accidentally deleted them. I have original and exported raw files edited JPEG images on an external hard drive. How to get back on LR the possibility to repeat already published photos complete with a history of editing? Thank you.

  Thank you Joe Maniac.  I deleted the original linked files on my internal hard drive which were dng files, but had copies of the raw files edited and edited the exported raw files (in JPEG format).  I don't have copies of dng files.  So what I ended up having to do was import the original raw files which then made a DNG copy on my internal hard drive.  The link has not changed, but now the files were back in the original track for missing photo alerts disappeared and I was able to see my change history.  The process has been painful, but without the dng, I had nothing to do a link to more if at least re-import them files has recreated the dng.  I don't know if there was an easier way, but it seemed that the problem did not the link deletion.  I use LR for a few years, but it was a rookie mistake, precipitated by my hard drive being so jammed up I ended up delete what I shouldn't.  I should have just moved the dng and the link to an external hard drive. Thanks again.

• How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

  Keep all image files both places?

  What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

  Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

  As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

  As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

  Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  Save your photos on external hard drive, you have two options - just save the INDIVIDUAL photos or save the photo library.

  It would be better to copy your photo library on disk. This way you will save the versions published with all the metadata that you added and the original images in the quality is.

  If you export photos you need to make your choice, if you want to export the edited versions or the original versions, or both.

  • To save the library, do it just from the pictures on the external drive folder.
  • To save the individual photos, open one of your albums, then select all photos with ⌘A, then use the command "file > export > export... photos ' and select one a high-quality format t the original size. Do this for all the photos. Check if the export went well, before you delete photos from the library.  To remove photos from an album using the ⌘⌫ key combination command + DELETE.

  Empty the recently deleted album only after that you convinced yourself that the exported photos are OK and you have a backup.

  Hi amireos,

  Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

  If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

  If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

  Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

  Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

  Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

  See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

  Let us know if it helps.

  You can copy and paste the files on your external hard drive.

  Right-click your folder of the image and choose copy...

• How can I access my Microsoft Virtual PC on an external hard drive with Windows Virtual PC on my new computer?

  For a few years, I have been using a set of VPC on external hard drives (.vmc files both .vhd located on external drives) with the Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual PC Console on a Windows XP computer. They worked perfectly.

  However, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm unable to access the VPC on the external hard drive. I installed successfully, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on the computer, and I copied the file to the host machine's .vmc. However, when I try to open the virtual computer, I get a message saying that the VPC was "impossible to write in one of its virtual hard disks.

  I've tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to copy the .vmc and .vhd in the computer file. The problem is that I use the VPC for training online, and I have 16 of them. If I copy everything in the computer, I will use all 500 GB of disk space.

  There must be a way to access the VPC for external drives. If I can do it on the old XP computer, it should be possible to do it on the new Windows 7 computer.

  Help, please.

  Thank you!

• How can I restore favorites... accidentally deleted the external hard drive!

  I have recently reinstalled Windows and IE8, but before I did, I saved all my files on an external hard drive.  My computer upward and the race and then began to manually recover my files from my hard drive.  Thinking that I had recovered everything what I needed/wanted, I then deleted everything on my external hard drive.  Unfortunately, I forgot to copy my favorites on my computer!

  Is it possible that I can get back my (old) Favorites from a previous installation of WIndows on my computer?

  In addition, in recent days, I have placed thousands of files in the Recycle Bin and have deleted however, I've heard that the files that are deleted in a computer can be recovered, but I don't know how to do this.  My old favorites would be there somewhere?

  You can also to the above questions, Microsoft stores my old favorites anywhere in their system as my username/password?  If there is anyway to recover my old favorites, I of course would like to learn to do this, because at the moment, I have no basics!  Well sad really. I should have been paying attention to what I was doing!

  Hi Arlywig,

  Once removed the HDD data can't be recovered. However, you can use your favorite search engine to browse third-party data recovery software and use this software to recover data.

  Note:   software use of third parties, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Hope this information is useful.

  I'll put in my computer at the store to have the battery changed and to back up my computer. Only got 1 external hard drive and 80% busy, I can't really destroy the entire disk to back up my Mac with Time Machine.

What should I do?

  Thank you very much for the help!
