I upgraded to 4.1 form 4. When I restarted I connected to my catalogue. I git a message asking if I wanted to convert images for 4.1. I said OK. Now I cannot see any images in the catalogue. The image information (ie, name of image and a blank space where image would be) are there.
View 4 RepliesI operate Windows 7 with Lightroom 3. My catalogue is held on an external drive from my PC. I have tried to open my catalogue today, but my images (17,000 plus) have disappeared, although my folders are still present. I have the RAW images backed up on a separate drive and the catalogue backed up in two parts by exporting these two sections as separate catalogues to another drive. NO MATTER WHAT I TRY I CANNOT GET THE IMAGES TO LOAD. This is the second time this has happened and I am loathe to start reimporting copies of the RAW files only to lose them (and all the work I have done on them) again. What can i do to get the images and the ones i have adjusted back? I find lightroom a brilliant tool except for this issue of losing images and work.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am currently using the old Lightroom 2 on a windows .. i have 2 questions..
1- if i update will my images/catalog.library disappear?
2- ALL my images have disappeared and i dont know how to locate them - one of my catalogues in the library were missing so i right clicked and pressed find missing file then i located it on my external hardrive and i think i pressed ok now the entire folder does not even show in my library!
i am doing something wrong when i import pics in , and i cant find missing files, i remember a while ago i moved all images off my laptop to and external hardrive but even whe i plug it in i cant find them and all files are dated so its hard to know whats what.. I am trying to apply for a photography job and i cant locate them to put a pdf folio together.
I have a folder with no images in it that were there. I right click and synchronize the folder and grayed out images appear. Mousing over an image produces a message that says this image is alread in library. How do I recover to see images?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't import ANY images to LR 4.4 since upgrading my Mac OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 this past week. I downloaded LR5 Beta and all works well. I deleted LR5 Beta to see if it was conflicting with LR4.4 somehow and rebooted. Still no change. I can't import from my card reader (that says it can't even read the files) or from a location on my hard drive. The error message for importing is "Could not copy a file to requested location."
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I used LR3.6 The Library option listed all my files on the left hand side under 'Folder' and showed a sub-folder for each year 2009-2012. I have now upgraded to LR4, and all I can see is 2011. During the install process of LR$ it asked me if I wanted to upgrade the process model, which I said yes and it did. Then, because I had read that 4.1 fixed a lot of issues, I downloaded and installed RC4.1 which I am running now.
How do I make LR4 show me all my Folders? I don't think I should be re-importing them all.

View 1 Replies View Related I have been using the Niksoftware suite sucsessfully with LR4 for over six months now on Lion OS. Tonight for some reason when I came to edit an image they were no longer in the "edit in" command when I right click, only Viveza is there.
I have tried to activate them in the pluggin manager but they are shaded out so I am unable to.
In the preferences I am only able to open/select on of the pluggins as my "external editor" I have selected all individually and they all work fine so no issues there. They are also still in my applications folder and open when selected there too so I am totally puzzled as to why they were in the command last night and for the last six months but not tonight when I have changed no settings at all. Interestingly enough my watermark also dissappeared and I had to remake that, is there a reason for this?
To make matters a little more interesting I have to give a bride her images on Monday so need a fully functional suite of software this weekend.
When I opened Lightroom, all my photos and folders had disappeared. I thought I might've opened another catalog, so I went to File > Open Recent, but there was only the one catalog listed

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Lightroom 3.5. I imported todays shoot into Lightrooms catalogue. They were converted from raw to dng. But only when the import was finished did I notice that all my collections and photos were missing. Before I went to my most recent backup I went to my catalogue and double clicked Karls catalogue.lrcat. This restored all my collections and photos, except for todays import.
When I open Lightroom I always hold down Alt so that it opens my catalogue rather than creating a new catalogue, but I must have not pressed Alt hard enough or something because I suspect Lightroom did in fact create another catalogue. I did a search for .lrcat in windows explorer and found my catalogue and 3 backups on my external drive, however I also found Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat in C;/Users/Karl/Pictures on my laptop.
How can I retrieve todays import and put it onto my catalogue?
All of a sudden, nearly all profiles have disappeared. I first noticed this with my Sony RX1, when I went to apply the profile correction, and there was nothing. Usually the program identified the camera automatically. When I looked at old pictures, it was the same, nearly. If I used "custom" then it would give me only Nikon and/or Sony, but only one lens for each camera, not relevant to what I had used to take the photograph. For some pictures it would recognize the lens, but it would not give me options to change it (if I wanted to).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been using v3.6 on a windows 7 PC for about 2 years. I've recently upgraded to v5.3 on the PC and at the same time have installed v5.3 on my laptop also running windows 7. On the laptop using a few new images: the smart preview, exporting and web functions work fine. On the original PC which has my original catalog of c17K images these three functions do not work. As far as I can tell the association between the masters and the images in the library has not been lost. The library and develop functions in v5.3 are working on all the c17K images in the original catalog.I've set the Export dialogue box up using recommendations from answers I've gleaned form other discussions in the forum eg; making sure the 'do nothing' flag is active in the post processing section and reducing the quality of the JPEG image. Still when I export nothing happens.

I'm slowly working through updating changes to 'render to LR4' but I'm uncertain if this will then automatically turn the catalog to LR4, or if I need to do this separately - and when?
