    NAS Photos Have Disappeared

    I am running LR Classic on a Mac BookPro, Ventura 13.2.1 and LR Classic 12.2. My issue is that for all the folders on my NAS drive, they have the correct photo counts, but none of the pictures are there. LR Classic reports "No Photos in Selected Folder", but if I select Show in finder, it...

    QNAP NAS disconnecting from Lightroom while editing

    I have a problem with my QNAP NAS disconnecting from lightroom while editing. My originals are stored on the NAS and I often have to reconnect the NAS when starting up Lightroom as Lightroom does not always automatically see the NAS. Then during editing Lightroom will lose the NAS and a message...

    Slowness in updating metadata

    I just discovered something I thought I would share. I have the majority of my raw images off on a NAS. I'm adding Job Identifiers and it was going slow. e.g. if I had a set of 700 images for the same job, it would take so long that I would just wonder off and start watching YouTube. I had...

    NAS and Metadata errors

    Hi I recently moved all my photos to a NAS, and I now import direct to the NAS. When I edit SOME (possibly most) of the photos, I end up with a little up arrow on the thumbnail in the filmstrip. Clicking the arrow I get the following message. I cannot figure out what the issue is. The only...

    NAS appearing as 2 logical drives

    I recently upgraded my storage and purchased a NAS, a Synology DS920+ device. The NAS is behaving correctly in its RAID configuration. I note that Lightroom sees the NAS both as a mapped drive (\\CM-NAS\CM-NAS_Folders\), as well as a Windows assigned drive (CM-NAS_Folders N: ). In other...

    Secondary location for originals

    Hello, I would like to know if some of you already made investigations on the possibility to indicate Lightroom a secondary location for original images. For the moment I'm storing my Lightroom library on a fast SSD drive, and most of my originals on a RAID0 LaCie DAS. There's a mirror sync of...

    Accessing New Asustor NAS (AS6404T) original files using Lightroom Classic

    A techie friend highly recommended storing my original photos (over 104,000) on a NAS instead of my external LaCie HDD's. So I recently purchased an Asustor AS6404T NAS with 4 bays and have set it up in a RAID 5 configuration. Using my external HDD where I store my Lightroom photos, I have...

    Write Access Denied

    Hi If I choose "Edit in>Photoshop CC 2019" for an image in Lr, make some changes I can't then save the file back to the same folder on my NAS. The message is along the lines of "write access was not grated". Lr has no problems writing changes to the NAS (creating folder, moving folders etc.)...

    Time Machine on a NAS revisited - not recommended

    First I must say that I love Time Machine. It is hands down the easiest backup and restore system I have ever used and I have tried many. It has saved me several times from various disk failures. Time Machine was designed for and works extremely reliably when connected to a local MacOS HSF...

    Import folder naming duplication with NAS

    This has been driving me mad for a while... My images are stored on a NAS. New images are either imported from a memory card reader (copied to NAS) , or via drag-and-drop to lightroom (add to catalogue withought moving/copying) of new folders that I place in the same NAS folder structure. I...

    Development and metadataassignment from separate computers

    From a relative to my wife I/we have got a rather large number of imagefiles (primarily scanned negs, slides and photos). Most of them show persons and places dating back to the 1940s and onwards. Now we want to 'take care' of this 'treasure' using Lightroom. I know how to 'develop' the images...

    Best Practices for NAS Centric Workflow?

    Lightroom Catalogs have to be on a local volume of course. But referenced images can go on a network drive, which is perfect when you have a lot of RAW images, etc. For my part, I sometimes run into trouble because the volume always gets mounted as "home" or "home-1" etc. which can be a problem...
