Help Recovering Edited Photos

About a week ago I imported and entire photoshoot into LR5 off my SD Card and kept the Card in the entire time and edited about 75 photos. Today I had to edit photos off another card so I took that card out and imported photos off the new card. Now I realized the previous import was not backed up, and when I search through the catalogs there is no sign of the photos or edits. The raw photos are still on the card but not in the catalog. Is there a way to find those and save countless hours of editing again? I searched through my entire catalog and the photos are not there.

I don't really understand what you did, you can't open another catalog with File->Open Recent and starting another import at the same time.
What happened when you used File->Open Recent?

  • Help! Edited photos not uploading to flickr.

    Hi!
    I am trying to upload a batch of photos, edited in ipad 2 ios7 and saved to camera roll, to flickr. However 1) I can only send 10 at a time from the camera roll directly (which does send the edited versions) and 2) when I try to use an app, the originals get uploaded instead of the edited versions.
    I have hundreds of photos and only realized this after going to flickr and seeing all the wrong versions.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried the fixes in this support article?

  • Help recovering deleted photos?

    I recently went on a trip and took a lot of pictures. Most of these were transfered successfully from my camera (a Canon PowerShot SD850 IS) to my computer (a MacBook) via iPhoto 6. However, with the last batch of photos, iPhoto unexpectedly quit in the middle of the transfer. Given that I had -- apparently stupidly -- set it to delete the pictures from my camera after transferring them to my computer, the pictures are no longer on my camera. However, I guess iPhoto quit before the pictures were saved, because they do not appear anywhere there either. I have searched for ways to recover pictures from the camera's memory card, but these seem very complicated and/or expensive. I was hoping that there might be a way to recover them from the computer, given that it seems that they were transferred and just not properly saved. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not, do you know any other way I can recover my pictures? It would be very sad to have lost them completely!
    Thank you!
    Dana

    The sure way is to use a data recover program like media recover - http://freshcrop.com/ - you can search these forums
    Some people have found their photos in a temporary folder within the iPhoto library - possibly yours are too
    If you go digging around in the iPhoto library be sure your backup is up to date - you could really mess things up - and be extremely careful not to make any changes of any sort to the content or structure of the iPhoto library
    And in the future it is recommended that you never allow iPhoto (or any program) to automatically delete photos form your camera - always finish the operation and properly unmount the camera and later (I wait for at least one backup cycle) use the camera format command to erase the card and renew its format

  • Help!! I need to recover my photos on my failed iMac hard disk

    I need some help in recovering my photo's on a failed imac hard disk......
    The history to this is that I received the cursed flashing folder with a question mark (?) when I tried to boot into my normal OSX Maverck on my imac - I researched this and there was a possibility of a hard disk error.
    I booted off the Mac OSX Snow Leopard CD to access Disk Utility to see if I could repair the hard disk - no luck! I couldn't repair it.
    I then installed a new version of OSX Snow Leopard on a external hard disk connected to the Imac through the USB - I then upgraded this version of OSX Snow Leopard to OSX Maverick. This allowed me to reboot the Imac off the external version OSX Maverick. I could subsequently see the failed hard disk on File Manager and have access to all the files on the main account. I don't however have access to other accounts (my wife's) where I store my photo's as there is a folder with a red minus sign denying me permission - I tried to change permission on these accounts but when I right click on the folder and select "Get Info" the permissions tab is greyed out denying me the ability to change permissions.
    How do I change permissions on the failed hard disk from my external copy of OSX Maverick? How do I get access to those files so I can receover the photo's?
    My ulitmate goal is to recover all the information on the failed hard dsik so that I can reformat the hard disk.
    By the way, I tried recovering the photo's using Time Machine but the last history I have is December 2011 which is 2.5 years out of date - something must have gone wrong! I don't want to receover this and lose the most recent photo's on the failed hard disk. Another question with Time Machine - if I perform a back-up today, will I be able to recover the data after I reformat the hard disk - my worry is that I'll only be able to get back to where I man now which is not being able to access the data on the folders that I don;t have permission on.
    I really appreciate the groups assistance.

    I can think of several ways to get the files off.
    One is to create a root (super user account) user whcih will have access to everything. Another thing is to duplicate the other accounts that were on the failed drive on the new one and then log in as that user and move them over.
    A link to create the root user is here:

  • HT201412 My iPod Touch 4th Gen keeps shutting off (like it's dying) and turns white and looks frozen...then an apple logo appears and takes a while to come back on. This only happens when I try to edit photos (cropping, especially)? Help me pleaseee!

    When this happened the first time, I seriously thought it wouldn't come back on. I was trying to crop something out of the of a photo and it shut off like it was dying (it was fully charged) and then froze, turned white, then an apple logo appeared. Once it turned on i went back to do what i was doing and it did it again. The next time it turned on, I went to play Design this Home, and it didnt shut off..so my only reasoning is that this happens when i edit a photo...i haven't done anything abnormal with my iPod and don't understand why this is happening...please please help!

    That is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1. The iPod "crashes" when editing photos. Just do not edit photos and wait for the next update. Most users have said it crashes when editing screen shots.

  • While editing photos in Aperture, I'm trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure but the button is grayed out and consequently doesn't perform any function, please help! Thank you, Mike

    While editing photos in Aperture, I trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure,
    but the "auto" button is grayed out and will not allow any auto function to take place.
    Please help!
    Thank you,

    Mike, are you working with raw images?
    For some raw images auto exposure is not available, have a look at this manual page:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=18%26se ction=9%26tasks=true
    Note: Automatic exposure adjustment is available for Aperture-supported RAW images only. If you want to adjust the exposure of another file type, such as JPEG or TIFF, see Working with the Exposure Controls. For a list of supported RAW file types, go to the Apple website at http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.

  • I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8).  The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

    I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8).  The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos Help please - I really need the photos!

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • Can I recover these photos!?  Help!

    As described here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5949036#5949036 I lost a bunch of photos in iPHOTO. But here's the update. I'm wondering if there's hope for me to recover these photos.
    Based on what I read on the forum, I figured out that I had to reconstruct my iPHOTO library. Before I did this, I made a back up of the iPHOTO library file and saved it under a different name. Okay, I tried a couple of ways to reconstruct the library file, but nothing worked. I was resigned to the fact that I lost the images.
    Well, last night, out of curiosity, I looked through the event just to see how many photos were gone. My camera numbers file consecutively, so this was an easy task. I'm at work, so I don't have the exact numbers, but out of about 300 photos in the event, about 35 or so were lost. Now here's the interesting thing, just out of further curiosity, I put a few file names into finder to see if it could find the pics (e.g., img_3333). Well it found the files in the iphoto library file that I backed up. The only thing is that it's not in the "original" or "modified" folder. I believe it's in a folder called "data". (I can be more specific when I get back to my Mac.) From the size of the file it's absolutely clear that it's only the thumbnail, though. (I shoot with a 10MP camera, so the files are quite large.) They're also found in a file with a .xml extension.
    Anyway, now that i see the thumbnails there are definitely some that I want to recover if possible (One is a f18 blowing by me at very close range and only 10 or 15 feet off the runway!) Is there any hope to recover these from the back up file?
    any help would be appreciated! Mahalos

    Sorry for the lack of details, but I guess there's nothing really to tell. Everything was fine, the pictures were there, no problems. I loaded them up around Oct 14th, so about a month and a half ago. I showed them to a bunch of people already because I was showing off my new 24" iMAC. I looked at them plenty myself and my screen saver even points to that event.
    Anyway, my father-in-law returns from being overseas for the past several months, so I was showing him pics from when he was gone (plus again I'm showin' off my new mac!). As I'm double-clicking images, instead of the image blowing up to full screen I get these huge exclamation points or blank screen. As I'm showing him pics, I notice this is happening for a lot of the images I'm trying to show him.
    From my vast experience with XP, I figure something is corrupt. At this point, I hit the forums and try to reconstruct the library.
    Here's the weird thing from today. i used time-machine to go back to my events and I do see some of the images that are missing. (some of them have blank frames with exclamation points in them) When I try to restore the image, it looks like everything is fine, but then I get an error message indicating that the file is missing. so I don't know what's going on. I know the pics were there on the date indicated on Time Machine, so I'm not sure why they're not there?

  • Just wondering if someone is able to help me edit a photo

  • Pls Help a newbie - editing photos in PS8 - iPhoto

    Hi
    I've got a brand new mac - never had a mac before so bear with me. I am trying to learn this iPhoto etc. Just installed Photoshop Elements 8. But I am at a loss as how to use it all.
    I manage to set PSE as the editor from iPhoto. I learned that I need to start in iPhoto when I want to edit or open anything. Done. When I edit a photo in PSE and click 'save', iPhoto nicely updates the image in the library.
    But when I make copy (I do not want to touch the original file so make a new image file) it gets stored somewhere else on the computer and is not visible in iPhoto. Importing it did not work either (although I am still not clear WHERE it is saved).
    How on earth can I keep all my image files (which will consist of originals (jpg and tiffs) and edited photos (jpg and tiff) together? I was hoping iPhoto would be the ideal (I am a previous pc user so am used to just storing things in 'my documents' and 'my images').
    Please help!
    Thank you very much.

    what is the function of iphoto over standard folders?
    FIles in folders give you just that: files in folders.
    Photos in iPhoto (or Aperture) give you unlimited ways to categorise, organise and find any photo in your collection, plus multiple ways to share those photos.
    For instance I often use the following to illustrate ways in which you can organise with iPhoto:
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 25k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
    (Try do that with files and folders!)
    On top of that: Pics in iPhoto or Aperture are available in every single Open... or Attach... window in the entire OS etc etc etc
    Regards
    TD

  • Editing photos, black out and photos gone. Took screenshots during skype vid calling, photos arent found in PHOTOS app. Help?

    One time I edited photos from my Camera Roll taken from our trip. About 6 of em i think. Then it crashed, gave me a black screen so i had to restart my phone. The next morning when i check my PHOTOS, the 6 photos were gone!! Now, while I was on Skype video chat, I took maybe 10 screenshots and of course you're able to hear the shutter every time. But when I check my PHOTOS, they are not there! I feel really bad because the photos i took were very important to me. I am so worried that this will happen again if i go on trip or capture a precious moment and find out that i got nothing. Please help me. I do reboot my phone for those who'll ask me so. Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated big time! Thank you

    your phone shouldn't be crashing. Just like a computer, if that starts happening its time to reload the software. Follow this to do a restore on the device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!

    How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!
    I have tried many online programs but nothing seems to recover the last 60 photos i accidentally deleted.

    i have i cloud but because my phone memory had been so full lately i believe it wasnt being backed up?
    the last back up noted on my phone is 9 nov 2013 - i deleted the photos just on monday - does this mean i can still recover them somehow?
    they were never imported to a comp but yes the pics were saved on my photo stream buti acutally first deleted off photo stream. what i did was create a folder within my albums then added the 60 photos to the album, then deleted 1 off photo stream to test and it didnt delete from my new folder, then deleted all off photo stream and then i thought i could delete off camera roll, then did that and realised it also deleted off my new folder created - so was left with nothing!
    if you know anyway pls help?
