Are they still on the card? Have you searched your harddrive for any of the specific files? When you run the lightroom “find all missing files” function, what happens? Are more files missing? Is there any chance the drive they were copied to got unplugged? When I read files into lightroom, I have it automatically make a short term backup to a scratch disk. Every few months I’ll go through and clean that up, after I’ve made my three backups. > > Rick > > (who might take up basket-weaving instead of photography…) > -- > %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List > To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
