Last year (2008) I totally screwed up and lost (yes, lost) a whole month's worth of images due to inconsistencies in my backup process.
I realized just recently that all of the 1:1 previews from May of 2008 are still in my Lightroom database (despite a setting which says to remove them after a month!). Which brings me to this question: Is there a way to get that image data (which exists in the previews) exported somehow? I know that doing a regular LR export, it will want to see the source files (which don't exist).. so it might be tricky. Going off to Google now, but if anyone has suggestions/ideas, I'm all ears. This "missing month" includes all of the photos I took for my daughter's wedding - otherwise I'd just let it go. Well now. I just downloaded (free!) a utility which can browse your catalog, and export images from 1:1 previews that you still have. Fantastic. It's called LRViewer. http://imageingester.com/index.php So, question answered. And if anyone else finds themselves in a pinch, this is a useful utility for not only that, but any time you want to browse your library without all the overhead of running Lightroom.
