    RAW & Smart Previews mess...

    So you mean, I (or my client in this case) should create once again a Catalog with RAW imported without any changes and in this catalog, we should 'Import from Another Catalog' the Catalog with all the changes made only with Smart Previews?

    Ok. That would be too good to be true but I'll try this, thanks!

    RAW & Smart Previews mess...

    Hi all, I have a new problem with Smart Previews. The main issue is from our end, we've done a mistake when using them but the result we have now is really bad. I explain: we are a photo post-production company and we started recently to use Lightroom (we were previously only doing technical...

    How to locate "Smart Previews" if links are missing (and no Original files)

    Hi all, I finally got it solved! So the problem was that my client had "over-zipped" in a way by doing zip of the folder with Smart Previews and then on above with Smart previews zip + catalog file.

    How to locate "Smart Previews" if links are missing (and no Original files)

    Names are the same though: Only thing weird is that the client had zipped them separately before sending. I had to do 3 unzip before getting. Could it be a reason? Thanks for trying to solve this with me!

    How to locate "Smart Previews" if links are missing (and no Original files)

    Ok thanks. But that can't be a problem of files selected as I have 500 plus blank previews when I open the Catalog: And I have the 500 plus Smart Previews in the dedicated folder. But as Cletus said, those are having unique numbers and can't be linked back to the Catalog. And the client has...

    How to locate "Smart Previews" if links are missing (and no Original files)

    Thanks all for your replies and specially Cletus for this very detailed one. I've asked the client to regenerate the Smart Previews. What he has done but I still have the same problem... weird no? Could it be that we don't have the same Lightroom version?

    How to locate "Smart Previews" if links are missing (and no Original files)

    Hi all. So I work for clients (mostly photographers) by doing their post-production. On Lightroom, we work with Smart Previews only so that it's easier to exchange files. So the client would build Smart Previews, Export Catalog with Smart Previews and send it to me. Usually, when I open the...
