Listener question:

From Jen

I have stuffed up somehow importing photos into Lightroom and need help!!

My photos are in the library section but have a little exclamation mark in top RH corner. Click on this and is says the original file could not be found. If I open in develop it says “the file could not be found”.

I followed the instructions to “locate missing files” to no avail.

Is there any way to retrieve them? Even the jpegs …. are they hidden there somewhere?

I normally use bridge but decided to try to learn LR ….. clearly I have some learning to do. I have deleted the files from my camera, so can’t redo them.

Answers are in this week’s episode.

 

Listener question:

From Brian

I have been taking pictures at my kids different sporting events they have been involved in and it has bloomed into taking team pictures for the high school as well as the youth leagues around my area and also senior pictures and some family shoots. Please give me some feedback of these samples of my work.
