Lightroom :: V5 Can't Open Any Photos Prior To Mid 2010
Mar 10, 2014
Today, while browsing through my Lightroom catalog looking for some older images, I noticed that LR5 could not open any images (NEF, CR2, JPG, TIFF, etc.) from mid 2010 and prior! The error message only says: "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo." !!! The thumbnails are all blank!
I was very surprised as I haven't used any other image editting sw for the last I don't know how many years. I wonder, are there any ways to reclaim these images. I have some precious photos of my mother before she passed away and don't want to lose them an any cost.
It seems all these files are somehow corrupted. The only thing I can think of is when I switched over to LR5 and the image catalog was updated, something in the process went wrong, though can't be 100% sure. I did try to open the files in a separate viewer (non adobe) but that also failed. I'm using a Macbook Pro with the latest OSX (Mavericks). The images are on an external encrypted drive. From 2010 onward, there are no issues and everything is available.
What is the best way to save or export all settings that were configured prior to a re-install so that the new install will work with the same as before.
Settings like cursor size, dynamic snap settings, printers, path locations, layout appearance, etc. We have both a autocad 2011 and autocad 2010 lt license. Is there a solution for both?
I have a .DWF underlay that I am tracing over an aerial. I need to create hatches for several areas, and tried to PEDIT the lines and arcs into a polyline. Several segments, however, were not "connected" to the adjacent segments even though I'd meticulously snapped to endpoints to draw the lines.
Is there a command or LISP routine to check for connectivity before I attempt PEDIT so I can fix the gaps first?
I am interested in controlling motion/blur in the photograph, prior to Lightroom and Photoshop. Many photo subjects (e.g. leaves, cars, waves) are moving. I've been calculating the pixel size in a photo. This is not just the pixel information of the sensor. For example, with a certain lense zoom and focus distance, each pixel will represent a definable zone of the image. Then, there is the zone of the print, which corresponds to the original zone of the image. There are many variables to consider. Motion within and beyond each pixel affects the image.
I am interested in literature, documentation or people that will guide me in the understanding of the control of motion/blur in the taking of the photo. With this, my photos will be far better and, also, easier to edit.
I want to create a lightroom catalog of more recent photos but I want to use the keyword list from a prior catalog. Is it possible to "import" the prior list into the new catalog?
I just noticed yesterday that I cannot access my LR5 photos. All my photos have a !. I tried to correct with Find Missing Folder. It will locate folder, but I can't select it? Its frustrating because I see them, but can't access them.
I cannot load or open any photos in Lightroom 5.3. I just installed it recently and was getting ready to use it. When I open Lightroom 5.3 it gives me an error message saying "An error occurred when attempting to change modules." I was in Bridge and then from Bridge I tried to open a photo into Lightroom. I tried to get a photo from desktop etc. Nothing worked.
I have a D800 & lightroom 4.1 will NOT open or recognize my photos. They were shot normally, not in live mode or video or whatever I read while searching for a solution.
When I right click on a photo in LR3 and click on 'edit in Photoshop CS4', it opens the dialogue box that it has always opened: 'This version of Lightroom may require Camera Raw version 6.5 to be fully compatible,' or something to that effect. I have never needed to worry about that, and have always been able to just click on OK and it has worked anyway, however suddenly it doesn't.
So I checked (just in case the issue was my version of Camera Raw) and I am running Camera Raw version 5.70.213
So I tried to update it to 6.5. I downloaded it (and the Adobe installer manager which it seemed to want me to install), but when I try to install 6.5 I get a message: 'This is not required'.So one message tells me it is required, and another won't allow it to install and says it is not required.
I don't seem to be able to install the latest version of Camera Raw (doesn't bother me as I don't use it - I use LR, except if it is causing this problem), and I have the problem of being unable to edit any of my LR catalogue in CS4.
I have installed and registered LR 5 ok but can't launch. Only a dialogue box asking to select a recently opened catalogue but there isn't one because I haven't had LR before. I just want to open the interface to import some photos but this same dialogue box keeps opening. This was not an upgrade version.
I can't open any of the recently imported photos in LR3? When I pull them up from my external hardrive it tells me the photo is allready imported and wont let me do it again. I can open older photo's just not recent ones.
I have Lightroom 5 and a Mac computer..Uploaded photos via card reader to Computer.Lightroom Opened but would not show previews. - said show source - would not open the previews on the imported photos
When I tried to activate the source to upload my photos - all when blank after 1 second of showing information (Photos) that were the previews. - then went blank.I stopped the process and ejected the card correctly through the finder. Thought I would try importing via image capture.
This was also a problem as the previews only showed as a flash of a second.I also notice that for some reason Lightroom 4 keeps on opening when importing photos and not Lightroom 5 - Though Lightroom 5 opens up when I edit other photos.
In upgrading to LR4 I wish to keep my process 2010 photos as process 2010. There is no need to redo them because the update pretty much forces you to start again with most processed photos.
My problem is that I now find that LR4 greys out the detail and color sliders for Luminance and color noise reductionas if they are process 2003 photos. That is, I do not have access to the detail and color for the noise reduction section.
I can only assume this is a bug or that Adobe have changed the Noise reduction engine.
When press "open" the "open"-window dosn't open. Insted it open a comandpromt by the cursor that promt me to enter full search-way and name on the file I want to open.
How do I get my Sheet Set Manager to open up each time I open a CAD drawing? I turned it off and can't remember how to turn it back on. I use command SSautoopen, set to 1 but doesn't alway work. Sometimes if I close AutoCad and reopen it I can got to drop down menu and click on .dst extension and it will open but if I close out of it it won't open again unless I restart AutoCAD. I thought I used a command from the Express Tool menu but can't find it.
I'm doing a program in Visual Basic 2010. In one of the forms I put a button that when clicked must open AutoCAD 2012 and make a drawing in it. The user will decide where to save it.The steps are these:
1. I added the references Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common to the Visual Basic Project. That's OK.

I recently loaded several versions of AutoCAD on to a Windows 7 machine. ALL versions will open a drawing if double-clicked from windows explorer, but if I try to open through AutoCAD, the program freezes as soon as I click on the "Open" button. This is true for AutoCAD 2010 through 2012.
Machine Specs:

I also cannot open multiple instances of ANY version of AutoCAD in Windows 7.
I copied photo folders from my hard drive to lightroom 4 and edited them but then accidentally removed these folders from lightroom. I then imported these folders again into lightroom but all the edits I made orginally in lightroom don't show up for the individual photo's.
I backed up the Lightroom catalogue regularily. Is there any way I can reattach these edits to their respective photos'. There is lot of photo's involved.
Is there anyway to look at a drawing in a prior state? Say I wanted to see what it looked like 2 months ago. And then again just one month ago. I found a great app called HISTORY that will show each line being drawn one by one, but I can't seem to find anything else that is even close to what I would need.
When I select "open" from the menu, the "open" dialog box opens and then immediately shuts. I can't open a document in Illustrator. Also, this has been happening in other dialog boxes, such as save as....
