Why can I not see my file in Lightroom?

I have a problem see a file in LR 4.2 when it is located in the folder where I want it to be.

I created a composite tiff image of two raw files residing in two different folders.  I had exported the two LR like TIFF raw files, open the TIFF in Photoshop CS5, then grouped into a file of multilayer tiff to create a composite file 600 + MB.  This composite was recorded in Photoshop, under a new file name using the "save under".  I knew that the new composite file would not be in the LR catalog, until I imported it.   When I imported, the picture went in a new folder named date (call the folder "A").  So far, it all makes sense to me.

From that point on things got funny.  Working in LR, I tried to move the composite single file in the folder that make up one of the files is from (let's call it 'B' folder).  The move has failed. Instead, I got an error message saying that the file already existed in 'b '.   I couldn't see the file in 'B' using lightroom, but MS Explorer revealed that the file was there.  I don't understand how he got there.

Still trying to get my composite 'B' recognized by LR, I first deleted the composite 'B' using Explorer, then went into LR and moved the file 'A' (where recognized LR), in 'B '.   Still not good.  LR does not display the file in 'B', but it appears in the Explorer.

I guess I could live with this composite file into its own folder, 'A', but this isn't really where I want to.  More importantly, I don't understand why I can't see in LR in the folder where I want to.

Help is appreciated.

My catalog file is corrupted?

The XMP files have something to do with it?

The size of the file (> 600 MB) a factor?

Any suggestions?

Win 7, LR 4.2, PS CS5.

TIA

Problem went away this morning!

I tried this step once again (again) after my computer starts:

Still trying to get my composite 'B' recognized by LR, I first deleted the composite 'B' using Explorer, then went into LR and moved the file 'A' (where recognized LR), in 'B '.

This time it worked, the file moved successfully and normally appears in LR.

Don't know if the re-booting helped, or I made a stupid mistake that healed a good night sleep to.  If later, I apologize to all those who are scratched their heads on this one.

Thank you

Jerry

  • Why can I not see my files or files on my flash drive?

    I bought a 64 GB USB flash drive to make a copy of some files (mainly of the wavs and mp3s into folders and subfolders several).  I drag some of them in the flash player and wait until the bar fills and the 'task' was over.  At this point, I can see the files.  I'll work and return with files over again to copy and when I open the flash drive in the viewfinder, I see nothing.  I try to copy the previous files (because they seem to not be there) and it is said that they ARE there.  Why is this and how do I solve this problem so I can see what was copied and what does not?

    I also get these weird errors if I try out something.  It's never happened before.  I'm quite confused.

  • Why can I not see the files in my Windows Explorer document library?

    I saved several PDF files in a folder in my library of documents, but I can't seen from Windows Explorer.  When I go to save another file, I can see the previous ones I saved from the browser to 'Rescue', but I don't see them anywhere else.  Why not?

    The padlock icon means that the files are not shared with others.  If you right click on the folder and choose "Share with" menu, you can remove the lock (but doing so allows anyone on your network to see your files).

    Regarding files jpeg appears not, have you tried pressing F5 to force the file to refresh?
    If this does not work, please respond and let me know.  It could be that the files are not saved to your documents, but in fact a system such as "C:\Program Files\Ancentry\" folder.
  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

    Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.

    I downloaded and installed Photoshop elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can I not see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) of the file > Import menu?

    There was no updated driver available (he says that my driver was aware), so I just deleted the scanner and the computer restarted.  When he came, the scanner has already been added again.  With great anticipation, I tried to import Photoshop... but no luck (scan was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had a lot of difficulty finding a support number) and they me finally there is no update driver for OS X 10.10 and I should like a work around using "Image Capture" application  I tried it and it works very well.

  • Why can I not see events in albums IOS devices

    I organized my albums by events, but when I go to albums on any IOS device there is no option to view the events, only all of the photos at once.  Why can I not see my separate and unique events in my albums on IOS devices?

    You are right, for the album, we changed grid and railroad tracks to the grid and view (on the iOS app).

    How do you organize your photos usually? How do you use the events? Ideally, how would you organize your photos?

    To see what features of the Middle East, you need to uninstall your current language, and then install the Middle Eastern English version.

    To do this:

    1. On Windows, uninstall from the Control Panel. On Mac OS X, use the Uninstall Adobe InDesign CS6 link under Applications > utilities > Adobe Installers.
    2. Launch the Adobe Application Manager and click on your name on the left, and on the shortcut menu, choose Preferences.
    3. Change the field of the English- language Middle Eastern.
