I lost all my corrections photo...

Hi all

I've done something where I should have better.  I looked on the forums but don't know exactly what to look for.

Here's the scenario:

I imported a few photos into LR.

I made corrections for the photos.  I've even created virtual copies of some.

I went to windows Explorer and moved and renamed the folder.

Then I went back to LR and synchronize the folder. (I had all 4 boxes checked in the Synchronization dialog box)

Now in LR, I lost all my updates and virtual copies.  It's as if I've just imported files.

Is it possible for me to get all of the updates that I finished until I moved the folder in windows Explorer?

I use LR 2.5 and windows vista.

Thanks in advance.

Backups are done Lightroom Catalog backups.  You can return to one of these and get the information you used in these photos.  This time instead of sync, you want to update the location of the folder to your new location.  You can't do that if you did a lot of work since the backup or since you lost your information using to synchronize...

In fact, you really lose your corrections?  Hasn't the old folder in the Lightroom Catalog?  He doesn't know that the new location contains the same photographs.  Unless you delete this folder structure, I would delete the new folder that you got by synchronize and then update the location of the folder on the old folder structure.

Until you do, you will copy your images?  When I say delete, I don't want to delete the images, I mean only their inclusion in the catalog!  Always copy the things before doing things you're not sure!

You should back up your images and your lightroom catalog.  Have lightroom write his backup on a different disk to its original catalogue.  You probably want some kind of backup or synchronization program to back up your images with - which is not copy it every time, but looking for changes.  I usually run my backups every day.

  • I've moved the photos on my computer and lost all the corrections in Lightroom

    I recently decided that it would be "a good idea" to reorganize my pictures on my computer and hard drive.

    It's simply put some in new folders on my computer and the external hard drive root and join others completely turned off the computer, only on the external HARD drive.

    Anyway, when I went back in lightroom, I saw that a lot of my photos were grey and saying "cannot locate the original file. I thought nothing of it and started re - synchronize folders.

    Once the synchronization is complete I went back into lightroom and noticed that if I was still all my original RAW files all corrections to the disappeared.

    Is there anyway to get this back?

    Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions!

    Synchronize think records the pictures that he found were NINE photos as LIghtroom had never seen before and these photos have so no retouching.

    Synchronize is not the way to solve these problems "cannot locate the original file. Indeed, not only does it fail to solve the problem, it does often worse, as you saw.

    To go back, the simplest method is to restore a recent backup copy of your Lightroom catalog file before all of this movement of photo files. Find the latest backup of all your photos, and then restore to the original location. Then, everything should work fine, and then we can advise on how better to "reorganize my pictures on my computer and hard drive.

  • I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

    I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

  • I upgraded to el capitan today and I lost all my photos and videos

    El Capitan provides a new application called, Photos, which you can import them into your iPhoto library. iPhoto will not work in El Capitan, unless you are able to update the version you have now:

    Re: Iphoto's gone? I want to go back!

    Go to the App Store and check out the shopping list. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1 if she is there, then drag your existing iPhoto application (not the library, just the app) in the trash

    Install the application on the App Store.

    IPhoto is sometimes not visible on the shopping list. It may be hidden. See this article for more details on how to view it.

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT4928

    A question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?

    iPhoto, the application and the iPhoto library are two different parts of the iPhoto program. So, reinstall the application should not affect the library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Hi my iPad off, then I lost all my photo son is there a way I can restore it? Thank you

    HI my iPad is disab then I lost all the photos of my son is there a way I can restore it please? Thank you

    If you have never backed up your iPad in iTunes (or iPhoto/Photos on a Mac) on your computer, or iCloud or some other cloud (out of service) service or on some sort of USB key or drive hard wireless designed for iDevices, so your images are gone and you can't extract your photos.

    Mobile device users forget they are mobile, devices computer and more prone to problems/failures of devices with random data loss and do not have a strategy for storage/recording of data to other sources or sites in order to protect their valuable data on their mobile devices.

    Mobile electronic devices aren't as strong and as stable as the most modern computer hardware, like a laptop or desktop.

    All data important like the pictures and any remarks important and documents should not be long term stored on a mobile computing device such as a smartphone or a Tablet and must be saved in the long term location a real computer with more than one hard drive for backup or store these data on multiple devices or multiple storage media devices.

    Significant data redundancy is key if a peripheral device or mobile storage goes down or something happens to the data.

    It is a very sad but strong lesson learned for you and any other person who finds and reads this message.

    I'm sorry.

    you did, you are out of luck.

    2. If your photos (or any other file on your disk) was important

  • I lost all my photos that were stored on my computer in the folder my pictures in my C drive.

    Somewhere, I lost all the photos that I had saved under folders my pictures in my C drive, I don't really know what happened to them, I searched and not the have not found their.  I was told that sometimes when things are deleted, they may not necessarily have disappeared from the computer and a person who knows may be able to recover these files.  Is it possible and how would I go about this.  If you could help me I appreciate it a lot.  I hope that they are not lost forever, they are family photos and wouldn't think they are gone forever... Thank you in advance.
