Link to the original images broken after restore

Hello

I use the Photos app on my Macbook (last OS X el Capitan 10.11.4) already for a while (with the iCloud features disabled) with the photo library on my Macbook and the images on a network share. It worked perfectly so far until I had to do a new installation of the entire system.

I made a backup Time Machine so that a copy of my home folder to an external drive before I have re-installed El Capitan 10.11.4 from scratch.

After that I copied the photo library of my external hard drive in its original location in my home folder, mounted the network share that contains images and Photo enforcement.

From a first glance, everything was going well and all folders and photo thumbnails are displayed in the Photos app, but this data comes from the photo library. If I want to 'Open the original file in finder' or 'export original file' in the Photos app, I get an error that the original file cannot be found.

I have the same problem if I restore the photo library of the Time Machine backup.

What I checked also:

The library location is / was always the same (/ users/thomas/photos)-before and after the installation of the system.

* The share network folder mounted is / was always the same (/ Volumes/images).

Way even restore worked perfectly for iTunes (iTunes library on my MacBook and music files on a mounted network share) by just restore iTunes library to its original location.

So what goes wrong with my restoration of the photo library? Any comment or suggestion is appreciated!

Best regards

Thomas

If I want to 'Open the original file in finder' or 'export original file' in the Photos app, I get an error that the original file cannot be found.

Have you tried to reconnect the original file?

the error message must contain a button to search for the original file.

Click on 'Find the Original', then select the photo missing on your external hard drive (or network drive), this should reconnect all the images in the same folder at the same time.

Apple does not say if the original files on network volumes are supported.  It can break, if the drive goes offline.

  • When Lr Mobile sharing it restores the original image?

    When Lr Mobile sharing it restores the original image?

    as the FAQ says Lightroom mobile synchronizes original JPEG, PNG and video files captured by your mobile device in the creative cloud. Lightroom desktop creates and synchronizes the images in the cloud in the form of intelligent insights. Smart insights are more small versions of your files in origin, roughly 1.5 or 2 MB in size, that hold all the flexibility of a raw file. Changes to chip previews automatically synchronize with your originals. The original files remain on your desktop and are not stored, synchronized or used by Lightroom for mobile. As a result, Lightroom for mobile should not be used as a backup service.

    When I save a photo from Lr Mobile on my phone he uses this intelligent overview of 2 MB right? What did this to my original data and things like that.

    Hi Chrizly,

    If the time that you synchronize the images of the Lr Mobile Lr Office, the original image will remain on your phone, but Lightroom will create smart image previews.

    The data remains the same on your phone.

  • Photos lost track of the original images

    I bought Aperture (my equivalent in local currency of 299 USD), then after that Apple stopped supporting the opening, I migrated to Apple pictures. Just today, I found that more than 500 photos imported from April 2016 are now show as zero KB in the Inspector. The original seem inaccessible to the Photos. The editing mode does not come when I click on 'Edit' and when I zoom to 100%, the image is rasterized.  I cannot determine the cause of this, but managed to find the original images on my drive, in the files managed by the pictures, and themselves do not appear to be corrupt. It seems that the pictures or its metadata the library software is broken. I tried to restart my Mac and the repair of the library three times (starting Photos while pressing the cmd and alt keys). That did not work. Please can you help me?

    In Photos preferences you have unchecked the preference for 'copy items imported to the photo library' (library management and the default and very highly recommended) or you have disabled this preference (a referenced library and strongly discouraged)

    How you import these photos and what? What format are they?

  • ' Click to see the size of the original image?

    Hello world!

    Everything is in the title...

    I would like to know if there is an option to enable by clicking on the images in the slide show to see them in their original size...

    Also, I would like to know, if we can protect images by not allowing "right click-> save as '... etc *.

    A big thank you (and apologize for my approximate English ^^)

    Thank you

    There is no way out of the box feature in a slideshow widget to allow users to view the original image, however, as a quick fix; You can simply select the Image of the hero of each slide and use the "Link To File" option to link each slide with their respective image of greater size.

    Try to protect images by disabling right-click on a Web page is not a value it really as you can always disable JS for a browser (which is easier to do in most recent browsers), or view source to retrieve the path of the image and in doing so does nothing more than embarrassing a site visitor. I suggest you keep away from doing.

    Thank you

  • I opened a picture with preview and all pixels become white. Is it possible to recover the original image?

    I just opened the photo and every pixel in it became white. There is no way to return to a previous version of the image, as if she had initially being that color. The size of the image remains the same, but each pixel is white.

    This is the second time that's happened, but the previous one, I was able to recover the deleted original file on my SD card, which is not an option at this time.

    I would like to know if there is an app or option on Preview that allows me to recover the original image.

  • Rebuilt again drive with the original image, goes into infinite boot loop

    Hello

    I'm going crazy!
    I have a laptop (abook), with a new disk in it, because the former was getting bad sectors. I managed to save the data, including the RECOVERY partition. Now, I'm trying to rebuild the image of the factory of this partition on the drive to get a clean computer.
    To do this, I try to use imagex.
    However, whenever I install the image on an own C: drive, I get infinite loops of starting, with repair system errror messages varies, but is noosloader. Startup Repair or BCDedits does not work.
    To make things worse, I ordered the laptop with Windows 7 64 bit edition Home premium ed, but the original image contains Vista Home premium.
    What should be my plan of action? I tried to reformat and install the image several times and am hard to run out of ideas.

    the recovery partition to reinstall vista operating system failure, not a disk failure lasts

    a disk failure hard it is why the computer manufacturer would recommend to make recovery disks

    I told you what to do

    If you are not satisfied with my advice:

    as you have problems with the process of recovery of manufacturers, contact the manufacturer

    It's their recovery process not microsofts

  • Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Is there a reason to save the two versions?  The NAVE seems to have no further use other than too much hard drive space.

    Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Why save versions when the DNG is the original and the NAVE seems to just take remote hard drive space?

    I see no reason to keep them, they take a lot of space, one of the reasons to convert to DNG is that they are almost 20% smaller than the ships.

    But it is of course your choice...

    Greg,

    Claes has pretty much nailed. You will do well to spend time to learn how Lightroom works. He is not like most software that you've used before, and if you don't understand what it does and how it does, you stand a good chance of losing your images.

    Try googling 'Lightroom tutorials' or 'get started in Lightroom. It's not rocket science, but it's different.

  • How to treat the original image and the mask image?

    I have a PDF file that contains an image that contain no filter to decode and mask image (SMask).

    Size of the mask image is much larger than the original image

    For example:

    Original image: width = 2 height = 1

    Image mask: 6 140 220

    How can I ask for the original image masking get the resulting image.

    Hi balasubramanians32220056,

    You can change the images in the acrobat application, edit images or objects in a PDF, Adobe Acrobat DC file. However, for the original image processing & the image of the mask, you will need application like Adobe Photoshop image processing.

  • How to work the DNG? is it always the original image with the settings of self-development?

    Hello!

    A question about DNG. recently, I had to put a bunch of my RAWs to print elsewhere. I copied all the RAWs and XMP files. Then imported on a different PC/LR. Others do not, some reflect my edit-adjustments. RAWS all VINTAGE.

    I save now on some DNG of my final print changes.

    I'm thinking a DNG in PDF format.

    When I export a DNG a RAW processed, is it cooked in? or is it always the original image with the settings of self-development?

    Thank you

    Alex

    Lightroom is a non-destructive Editor. So, you can take any file type (JPG, DNG, RAW, TIF, other) and edit this photo, and always come back to the unedited version.

    If you export your RAW as DNG or export your RAW as the 'Original', you can also revert to the unedited export version (but not if you export as JPG or TIF).

    With regard to your initial statement that you have 'copied the RAWs to print elsewhere', they may not had the changes written to XMP. It would also be a problem with the DNG format, as I said, you should enable the option to write changes into XMP or issue a command, because by default, Lightroom writes not changes to your DNG or sidecar xmp for the RAWs files.

    The copy is different from export.
