How to find the original RAW file # from a Lightroom exported JPG?

Hello, this is in regards to a Lightroom 3.5 exported JPG. This was a year ago when I had been told it was best to export files with simple renumbering of them from 1 to x... instead of retaining the original RAW 4-digit file name.
I've currently lost the original files, and need to do a search for them via these 4 digits to see if I have them tucked away in any of my drives. I downloaded a metadata explorer, and it's telling me all the lightroom editing information, and everything else, but somehow does not have the simplest of information — that 4 digit original file name.
Am I grasping at straws or is there likely to be any way to find this information out? I don't work with metadata, so there wouldn't have been any customizations to how Lightroom configures this....hoping that's in my favor. Any help is much appreciated!!!!

A note about security (context: downloaded apps & plugins...).
Anatomy of a URL:
protocol://stuff.stuff.stuff.domain.domain-suffix/stuff/stuff?stuff=stuff
None of this stuff matters much except:
domain.domain-suffix (and protocol, to some extent).
So if you download something from:
http://ignafradifcawhatyousay.toolonganyway.my.server.com/gogafnoics...
It's coming from server.com using http (web) protocol.
But, if you download it from:
http://my.server.com.badguy.tv/...
It's coming from badguy.tv, NOT server.com, so if you want it from server.com - danger will robins...
And, if you download from
http://216.195.245.134/my.server.com
It's coming from an unregistered internet address (216.195.245.134) - again: danger...
(4 groups of up-to-3 digits separated by dots is the format for a literal internet (IP) address, instead of domain-name...)
Summary: if you learn the anatomy of a URL, and pay attention to the URL's you are clicking on, or entering directly, you can take more responsibility for security, and assure (to a greater extent) you don't download from an unfriendly source.
Disclaimer: I accept no legal responsibility for anything that happens as a result of anything written above...

Question?
I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

Hello,
if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
1. Backup your catalog first
2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".

How to export the original raw file?

I have read a few threads about this but have not seen the answer.
The original file from my camera (.PEF) now exists only in the Aperature library. I want to export a copy to my desktop so I can do some special processing with Pentax software. How do I export the original .PEF file? (Exporting Masters only gives me processed file types like TIFF and JPEG.)

Export Version gives you a processed file such as a TIFF or JPEG.
Export Master will give you a copy of the original RAW file.
Please double-check that you used the correct export command...

Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files? With the original raw file or in a separate folder?

Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files? With the original raw file or in a separate folder?
Relatively new user of Adobe LR5 and PS CC, about a year old.
If they should be stored somewhere beside the folder that contains the originals, where and how to change the settings?
If I choose to write metadata to the original files, is that sidecar files or does the XMP file show separately?
To be honest, I usually find a video and I cannot figure this out. I have never received an answer on any of my questions by the way.

Hi there,
You answered a prior question from me so I wanted to reach out to you about this. I just need a step by step on how, if possible, to View LRCC on my MacBookPro when the main interface is on my iMac

Which version of mac os x do you have?
Which version of photoshop are you using?
Do you get any message when you try to open the files into photoshop?
Did you use Nikon Transfer to get the files from your camera to computer?
Did you try the File>Get Photos From Camera in Adobe Bridge?

Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
2 - Open the library package like this.
3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

Mac OS 10.9.4 cannot open the NEF/RAW files from the new Nikon D810 Camera

I have a new Nikon D810 camera. My new iMac cannot open the NEF/RAW files from it...Anyone have any knowledge of this?

If you will take the time to send Apple feedback, they will add RAW support - when I got my Canon, it wasn't supported either. I filed feedback and, two months, later, there was an update which included my camera model.

How to find the original lengh of a VARCHAR2 field

Hi all...
How to find the original lengh of a VARCHAR2 field. If i use, length function, it is
giving the length of the feild, not the orginal length of field value.
How to find the actual length of the field.
Thanks in advance
pal

> How to find the original lengh of a VARCHAR2 field.
Why?
And where? A varchar2 in SQL or a varchar2 in PL/SQL? Varchar2 arguments have no explicit size in parameter signature for a procedure or a function.

That is not the original photo - it shows the entire current photo with edits so you can see the context of the face - you can not see the original photo while in faces - you can in edit mode by depressing the shift key

Jpeg link to original raw files bridge or lightroom?

I have recently exported jpegs and given them to a librarian to add metadata. He used Bridge to add the metadata to the jpegs. Is there a simple way to give him the original raw files and they will automatically link together?
The filenames have been changed. I am hoping there is a residual filename in the metadata.
Thanks, Rob

Not that I know of. And with a new name it is a new file.
There will only be old name if he did batch rename and had the box check to preserve current file name.

How to find the contents of proc from top command

I had a doubt related to how to find the contents of a procedure or the statements from the PID displayed in top command if it can be done from TOAD or
sqlplus. If we can find out the details from top like:-
21211 oracle 16 0 3228 1012 764 R 0 0.0 0:07.68 top
1 root 16 0 1732 552 472 S 0 0.0 0:01.29 init
say, what is the process with PID 21211 and 1 are doing?
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.
