Missing photos, folders in Lightroom 6 after importation. Lightroom stores a copy of the photos that have been imported and if so where?

My nanny/photographer improved his Lightroom to worm. 6. She left the old version 4.4 on as well, so I think she just did a straight installation of v6. It has imported several hundred photos directly from memory cards in Lightroom 6, without copying the files on the computer. She was then abducted and subsequently deleted the pictures from the memory card. These records show now with a question mark in Lightroom, I imagine that it is looking for the files on the memory card. Bright room makes a copy of the files when they are imported or let just a pointer as to where they have been imported from?

She also found with multiple catalogs. CAT 1 is a little bigger, then Cat 3, but the House of light can not open the file and provides the following error message: "Lightroom cannot use the catalog named"Lightroom Catalog"because it is not writable and cannot be opened."

If TI LR retains a copy I was hoping they were perhaps in Cat 1, who was the first that was created.

Thank you

Someone has a misunderstanding about Lightroom and its import process. Importing images into Lightroom does not mean that Lightroom will ingest these images. The import process is one of saying Lightroom where to store the images on the hard drive. Then Lightroom keeps track of these images in this folder location and combines the image settings. If the images were imported in the usual way, they should be located in a folder on the hard disk.

If you say that the images were just imported while remaining on the map (I thought that Lightroom who wouldn't) then if they have not been copied to the hard drive you will have images. Just previews.

  • I'm trying to export a package layout custom in jpeg format of 3 photos that have been edited and arranged on a single printed page.  This was possible on LR4, but I just upgraded to LR6 and don't see how to do it?

  • Always about 3000 photos do not download to the icloud library. It has nothing different in size or the type of photo as the once that have been downloaded. Any ideas?

    I downloaded my library of images (30000) together in icloud. However, about 3000 of them just won't download. I checked and they are nothing in the size or format, like the rest of the photos. All Jpeg with normal file sizes.

    I already posted this question with screenshots, but no answer yet, try another...

    Thank you.

    I looked at your previous questions, jrenders .

    There are still a few missing facts to be able to help.

    Have you tried suggestion of Larry with the smart album? Link to this post

    A smart album with the rule "Photography is unable to download to iCloud library" contains all the photos?

    What is the Photos > Preferences panel show?  There is a progress bar?

    You have posted two screenshots:

    Thank you! I took a glance at the pictures that are not uploaded. I added two screenshots to this post. The first image IMG_6613 have download and the second an IMG_6614 did not download.

    No idea why, the news of the photo are in the screenshot. You have an idea why post an and the other not? First of all, I thought it was the extensions .jpg instead of the extension of ge.jp. However, I saw that much .jpg have download.

    Thanks again!

    Can you tell us more about the second photo, which does not download?   Can change you it? Can export you it?

    Try to identify the first photo that always must download and does not.  Most of your pictures will be perfectly okay, but a bad point could hide the progression. A video or a photo in a format not supported.

  • When you delete a folder of photos empty, all the image files have been deleted and are not in the Recycle Bin

    * original title - all images disappeared in cyberspace *.

    Sorry if I look like I ask the same thing again and again I REALLY don't want to hear it, but just beyond bizarre. There is no reason crap for photos to just upward and vanish.

    OK how bout this. Assuming the photo library you meant the images library, like the one on the little box in the file Explorer, users, go to start, computer, drive C, and right-click on my pictures, and then select Properties. If this was not the 'official' picture library, go to the folder view these photos and go to properties it there instead.

    Now on the shortcut menu, click previous versions, wait list to fill out, when it does, click one of the folders that was before the photos have disappeared and select restore.

    Essentially, this will make the pictures folder how was the date that you have chosen your photos, then all must return.

  • After update, some of the clips that have been published have a diagonal stripe on them and they do not play

    I made several "screenshots" and offers them to paint for the harvest. Then, I did a "Save as" to another file and you exit the paint program. Now, all my screens cropped out are saved in the paint and I can't delete them. How to erase images (files) of painting.

    Win 7 with paint.

    Hello

    The image files are not saved in the application of the paint itself. Just opens paint files to one location (for example, a folder on your hard drive) allows you to edit and save in the same (or another) location. There are no image files in the paint for you to delete.

    Can as apps, paint store made a list of recently used files, as follows:

    Yet once, these image files are not stored in the application of paint. These are just shortcuts to the files on your disk image hard (or elsewhere) for the ease to find and open recent files you used recently in painting. You can leave them just as they will be simply overwritten when you use other files in the paint.

  • My expansion drive has been disconnected, and all the files that have been renamed on Premier Pro are missing!  Help!

    I use Adobe first Pro CS5.  I'm working on a project for a month and this morning, I realized that there is a problem with it.  To make sure that I don't junk my computer upwards, I have always to leave the files I'm working with my expansion drive and I work from there.  I have autosave all the time, etc, but apparently, at some recent point, my disk expansion has been disconnected, and Premiere Pro tells me that all my files are offline.  My biggest problem is that I've renamed all my video files in Premiere Pro, but I not rename them on my drive for expansion.  Thus, for them find would probably take me as long, if not more, of my original work.  Is it possible in the world that I can record these files and the long hours that I've already spent editing this video?  If you have an idea regarding what I can do, I would be eternally grateful.   Note: I work with AVCHD clips.

    Please, I beg you.  Whatever that is would be helpful at this stage.

    Make sure that Premiere Pro is closed, and reconnect the drive.  Everything should be good when you reopen the project.

    The exceptions are two.  Bill has raised the first.  The second is that if you have already saved the project with offline files.  Once you do that, you're done.

  • How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '? Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom. I started to remove some files and it removed ALL of them! I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    You need a backup of your Lightroom catalog file before deleting the photos made. You have such a backup? If so, find the backup catalog, open it (double click on it) and then search for the photos you want and select them and then file-> export catalogue; Then go to your original catalog file, open it and select file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog that you just exported.

    If you do not have a backup of your catalog file, then the only thing you can do is to import the photos again, and Lightroom will treat them as totally new photos with no editing and no metadata provided by the user.

    Moreover, the idea of importing photos into Lightroom and then later removing them to Lightroom should is limited to photos you will EVER want such a photos that are so overexposed or underexposed or blurred that they are essentially useless. The photos that you care enough to run a task on (including editing) should never be removed from Lightroom.

    Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom.

    Is this the same problem as above, or another?

    I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.

    Is it possible that you actually deleted pictures from the hard disk, as well as from Lightroom? Anyway, Lightroom cannot find the photos and you first need to find photos on your hard drives and then direct Lightroom to the location of the photo on your hard drive, using these instructions Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

    I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos.  When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG.  Is there a way to fix this?  I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use.  I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!

  • All my files and pictures have been deleted and all my settings for my computer after windows update

    Shawn,

    I think this isn't the Windows update that caused this problem. It could be something else the cause. Windows Update never removes any of your files and folders stored in the computer.

    You can try a system restore to a previous point when the computer was working properly.

  • Missing files that have been renamed? Help!

    Dear friends, for some reason, only a few pictures have been renamed and now LRCC cannot bind more. I made a Time Machine (I'm a Mac user) restore and found that they were displaced and renowned don't know why. It's cool, I thought... restored from backup, but there are only 140 X 140 miniature files maybe LR?

    The original files are somewhere in my records, but how do I find them if they are renamed? Is it possible using third party software to search for identical files by image comparison? I mean, this is comparing the image itself?

    Thanking in advance.

    Sergio

    In Lightroom, select a missing image. Control (or right) click on and select go to folder. Highlight the folder in the sidebar on your screen and select "show in finder". Now with the open folder, enter time machine and restore the image files. If the folder itself got deleted or renamed in the folder on the left panel, select the parent folder and do the same thing. If no parent folder is not displayed, right (or control), click on the folder and make Lightroom show the folder parent in the sidebar.
