Is there any way to find the individual image files on the local hard drive, perhaps in the cache?
It appears that LR mainly stores image files in the Cloud but some number of images may actually be stored in a “cache” on the local hard drive. The size of the cache is adjustable via the LR settings. I’ve run out of Cloud storage, so I assume any images I’m importing into LR are going into the LR cache on the local hard drive. I tried performing a global search of my hard drive for a file name of one of the images I imported into LR and it did not show up. It appears that LR has some proprietary storage of files that excludes them from being visible in the computer’s file system. I’d be grateful for any references that may be available to details on this topic.
