USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 2 60 Managing catalogs and files Managing photos Locate missing photos Sometimes the link between the catalog and a photo breaks. When that happens, Lightroom displays a question-mark icon in image cells in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. In the Develop module, Lightroom indicates that the photo is offline or missing. Links between a catalog and its photos can break for a variety of reasons, including because photos are moved in the operating system instead of from within Lightroom, or because photos are stored on an external drive that is offline. If the drive is offline, turn it on. To locate missing files, do the following: 1 In the Grid view, click the question-mark icon in a thumbnail cell. A dialog box displays the original file path of the photo. 2 Click Locate, navigate to location of the moved photo, and then click Select. 3 (Optional) In the Locate dialog box, select Find Nearby Missing Photos to have Lightroom search for other missing photos in the folder and reconnect them as well.

For example, if a photo has a one-star rating in Lightroom, and the photo has been updated to a two-star rating in another application, you need to decide which rating to respect. Both cannot co-exist together. Lightroom lets you resolve conflicting photo metadata by either overwriting its data in the catalog with metadata from the photo or its sidecar XMP file, or overwriting the metadata in the photo file or sidecar XMP file with its stored data in the catalog. 1 In the Grid view, click the alert icon in a cell. 2 In the Confirm dialog box, select one of the following: Import Settings From Disk Imports the metadata from the photo or its sidecar XMP file, which overwrites the photo's data in the catalog. Overwrite Settings Exports metadata from the catalog to the photo file and overwrites the data in the photo or its sidecar XMP file. Do Nothing Takes no action. If you select this option, be sure that the photo's metadata in the catalog doesn't conflict with data in the photo or its sidecar XMP file.
