    Lightroom Photos
    Major memory lapse...

    While I was in the hospital for a few weeks, a friend did some work on my MacBook Pro, moving Lightroom and the folder of photos to a new Firewire drive. That worked fine.

    Well, I finally got around to starting Lightroom up again today and surprise! Setting the correct catalog again was no problem but Lightroom can no longer find the folder with the actual photographs in it. I have searched and searched but see no way to point Lightroom to the right place.

    Help! I need a solution!!

    I think you have to re import the photos again

    I am hoping that the work I've already done does not get reset. I may have to try this if nothing else comes up.

    Don't re-import. You can select the (now empty) folder in LR and 'find' the new location. Do some searching since there are tricks to make it easier for LR to find them itself. - Terry

    Thanks. I mucked around and, quite by accident, Lightroom started finding the photos again. I'm not sure what I did!
