    Missing folders and backups (lrcat files)

    Hmmm! That's got me thinking Johan. Can't see how I could have done that, but I guess it's a possibility - anything's possible! I'll have to try and recall when I first discovered the 'missing' folders etc and what I might have been doing prior to that. Incidentally, as you mentioned where...

    Missing folders and backups (lrcat files)

    Exactly Johan! That's what I can't get my head around. It's VERY strange. At least I have the exported edits from that period. I'm beginning to think that re-importing those folders is all I can do. If I want to re-edit some of them (and there will only be a few), I'll just start from...

    Missing folders and backups (lrcat files)

    Thank you Johan, perhaps I will post again. It's just that I can't see how my folders could disappear from Lightroom Library along with the related backups, and I'm sure someone, more knowledgeable than me, might be able to advise or give me a clue, in case I've missed something. ....I get the...

    Missing folders and backups (lrcat files)

    Can anyone help please?? .....My post seems to have been hijacked on a somewhat different topic. :( Or perhaps I should just start again and re-post my question? .....I really would appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance :)

    Missing folders and backups (lrcat files)

    Folders previously imported from January to October 2017 have disappeared from the LightRoom Library - as have the backup catalogues for this period (I back up every time I quit LightRoom). Quite a lot of images were edited from those folders and then exported as finished jpegs. .....At least I...

    Updated time/date in Lightroom - how do I transfer this change to original files

    Thank you Hal. As you can see in my reply to Johan, writing the metadata to the file produced an XMP file which I didn't know what to do with! However, you can also read in that reply that I solved my problem by converting the NEF files to DNG (with the correct date/times) - getting rid of all...

    Updated time/date in Lightroom - how do I transfer this change to original files

    I checked this out, which led me to ExifTool but when I looked into that I decided that this app was pretty complicated to use. So then I tried Hal's suggestion "also need to explicitly write metadata to the file" which created an XMP file but didn't change the data in the original files. Must...

    Updated time/date in Lightroom - how do I transfer this change to original files

    Silly question I guess, but I was thinking perhaps I might need to import them from the camera or SD card for some reason? Anyway, I've just gone through the process - very carefully - removing the relevant images from Lightroom catalogue, then re imported them and changed the date and times...

    Updated time/date in Lightroom - how do I transfer this change to original files

    Thank you for that info Johan - I'm assuming you mean for me to remove the images from Lightroom only - but leave them in File Explorer then re import from there. I'll give that a go and report back. Cheers!

    Updated time/date in Lightroom - how do I transfer this change to original files

    Thanks for the welcome and your response Hal - that sounded like a good suggestion. I decided to test this with just one of the files first, before changing the values of all eleven. Unfortunately it didn't work :hm: ....so I guess it's back to the drawing board. Meanwhile I'm off to bed, but...

    Updated time/date in Lightroom - how do I transfer this change to original files

    Hi fellow Lightroom users My first time here, so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere (couldn't find the answer in a search). My camera had a malfunction and put the wrong date and time to eleven photos, before I noticed. I corrected this in Lightroom 5 but this data did not...
