Recover photos from previews in LR3 Beta

[dacmail]

I'm using LR3 Beta on a Mac (Leopard)... I don't know how, but some photos are physically dissapear from my mac.

I still have the previews in the catalog. I'm trying to use LRViewer to recover it, but LR3 isn't supported.

I wrote to Marc, the developer of LRViewer and tell me that LR3 will not supported by LRViewer.

¿Can you help me?

Thank you very much, and sorry for my bad english!

Hi dacmail, welcome to the forum!

I don't suppose you've still got those photos on a memory card, have you? Or check your trash?

If that doesn't do the trick, you could try Jeffrey's preview rescue: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/preview-extraction/ - I have no idea whether it works with LR3 beta.

There's another Mac program that might do the trick called FileJuicer too http://echoone.com/filejuicer/formats/lrdata

Do let us know how you get on!

Victoria, Thank you very much!

Jeffrey's preview rescue doesn't wok with LR3 but File Juicer do it perfect!

Thank you again! I hope this thread will be useful for someone!
