Lightroom displays the last-known location of the photo. Click Locate, and navigate to the targeted photo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I recover photos in Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Select the photos that you want to restore. Click the Restore icon . In Lightroom desktop, you can also Control-click (macOS)\/right-click (Windows) and select Restore Photo. Your selected photos are then restored in All Photos and any albums that the photos were previously in.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why are my photos not showing up in Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Missing photos can happen as a result of unplugging an external drive that was the source for the photos or if the drive mount point (Mac) or the drive letter (Windows) has changed.

Select half your files, and start the rebuild, then select the other half and start.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why can&#8217;t I delete photos from Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>You need to run Lightroom under the administrator to be able to perform delete from disk. To do so go in Start\/programs and right click on adobe Lightroom and then select: run as administrator. Then select the all files in the left pane of the library. Under the Photo menu just select: delete rejected photos.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I delete photos from a smart collection in Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>When working in a Smart Collection (because the photos in a Smart Collection are based on search criteria), tapping the Delete\/Backspace key will display a dialog with instructions to edit the photo&#8217;s metadata so that it no longer matches the smart collection criteria (or, delete the photo from the Lightroom Catalog).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Where are my Lightroom photos?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you have added your files to Lightroom (as opposed to copying or moving them), those photos are now in your catalog.
