How to reconnect disconnected files?

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 program.
Yesterday I tried to open files (photos) and got messages saying that with the exception of some 30 files all the others were disconnected. I went into Organizer>Files>Reconnect all. I did that yet they continue to show as Disconnected in Organizer. Short of having to manually reconnect each file individually (over 3,000 of them), is there any way I can reconnect all files or should I delete them all and then reload all the files (in My Pictures) back into the Organizer?
Your advice would be much appreciated. Thanks FWWin

Thank you for your response.........
I have no idea why my files got discoonected........
Acting on your comment, I again clicked on Reconnect All files......Again
the program went through all my files and showed at least 95% disconnected.
I then connected one file and clicked on Reconnect All files again. After
another roll through of all files some were connected and then the third
time all files with the exception of about 20 connected. The remaining ones
I either connected individually or deleted them depending on whether I
wanted to retain them.
I'm far from being the most literate technocrat (to put it mildly!) so
encounter many frustrating outcomes! I very much appreciate your
reassurance and direction. FWWin

How to reconnect missing file from iCloud on PSE 12?

I placed all my photos in the iCloud and also copied them to a flash drive and removed them from the hard drive. Now Organizer asks to reconnect missing files. The drop down menu in Browse does not list the Cloud as an option. How do i reconnect from the Cloud?
Thanks, Barb
I am using a MacBook Pro with Yosemite

You will need to keep the flash drive connected. PSE will contain links to it and the images.
Otherwise you would need to copy the files to a folder in Pictures on your internal drive or an external hard drive.

How to reconnect master files in recovered folder to Aperture

Aperture 3 crashed and somehow it spit out all its master files and dumped them in a directory called 'Pictures Recovered Photos'. All files in Aperture show the 'Master Not Found' badge (arrow with yellow exclamation point triangle). How do I tell Aperture that the master file it's looking for sits in the 'Pictures Recovered Photos' folder?
I tried the 'Locate Referenced Files' command but that obviously doesn't work because the pictures are not referenced. The master files were imported before something went wrong.
To make matters worse, the 'Pictures Recovered Photos' folder contains about 56k files, while I only have about 13k masters. Upon further inspection, I noticed that most masters had several copies of themselves:
e.g. here are all the files matching picture DSC00131 in the 'Pictures Recovered Photos' folder:
DSC00131.JPG
DSC00131.JPG.jpg
DSC00131.JPG_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face0.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face0_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face1.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face1_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face2_2.jpg
Any suggestions on how to get out of this mess?

First wanted to see if someone had seen this situation before
The subject of Aperture completely aside, it is not uncommon for files to sprout in unexpected places when there are disk problems. If you have not already done so you should use Disk Utility to Verify the disk(s) where your masters and Aperture app and library reside before you attempt to do anything else. While you are in Disk Utility check the S.M.A.R.T status as well. If you try to fix things within Aperture you could make things worse if your disks aren't in tip-top shape.
I'm new to Aperture so I will leave advice on how to relocate your masters to experienced users.

Photoshop Album 1.0: How do I reconnect 350 "edited pictures" showing as disconnected files?

I purchased and downloaded PS Elements 13 64-bit Win7 from the Adobe website to a new Dell Inspirion 64-bit with Win 7 Pro. I have previously been using a registered copy of Photoshop Album 1.0 and Photoshop Elements 2.0 since 2005. The most recent use was on a computer running Windows 7 Pro operating system using the virtual XP to run PSE. That computer was fried by a lightning strike. However, I retrieved the hard drive in good working order with files intact. I am currently running the PSE program on an old PC with XP and accessing the picture files (9,600) on the old hard drive attached as an external J: drive. My goal is to transfer all picture files to the new Dell Inspirion where the new PSE 13 resides. I couldn’t get the PSE 2.0 program to access the picture files!
I finally figured out how to use MS Access to change the drive reference to J:/.
1) there were a number of line items that seemed to be anomalies in the Access table. Could these be a cause for the following disconnects?
It seemed that I was about prepared to transition to the new computer and PSE 13, but then after opening PSE 2.0, I found I still had about 350 disconnected files (indicated by a “?” in place of the pic icon). I then determined that most, if not all of the disconnects, had one thing in common: they were all “edited pictures” and obviously some of my most valued pictures. I have started to reconnect them one at a time, but it’s very time consuming!
2) Is there a more efficient way to accomplish these reconnections?
If I understand it correctly, the PSE acts like a card catalog in the library where it simply references the actual location of the original and/or edited files.
3) Ultimately, how do I transfer all the reconnected pictures and the associated files and folders to the new computer?
Thanks for any advice or assistance you can offer!
<edited by admin to be readable>

Thanks for your quick response. I respectfully question with your conclusion that I am in the wrong forum! Adobe Photoshop Album v 1.0 is the specific program I have used for nine years and that is the program I just reopened to verify it's title and that is the program wherein all the Adobe advice is to reconnect all my files before proceeding to convert to Photoshop Elements 13. The original box describes it as "The fast and easy way to organize and share your lifetime of photos." My apologies for even mentioning the Photoshop Elements 2.0 (the original box describes it as "image-editing software" which I seldom ever used. Apparently the functions of PSA & PSE has changed over the many versions, as I first went to the Elements forum and I can't seem to find anyone in the PSE forum to offer any help. Is Photoshop forum not the forum that would deal with Photoshop Album? There is a forum I see for Photoshop Album Starter Edition, but a quick review of messages seems to relate to something more recent than my product which is not entitled Starter Edition. Thanks for any clarification in getting me to the right forum if this is not it!

I just bot a new ipodnano and synched my playlists from my itunes library. However, I am unable to disconnect as it says the the ipodnano contains files that are in use by "another application". What is it talking about and how do I disconnect?

How do I disconnect./eject my new ipodnano after I had synched my playlists (from itunes library on my computer).
Itunes message - CANNOT BE EJECTED BECAUSE IT CONTAINS FILES THAT ARE IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION:.
This is after my synch was succesfull and it says I can disconnect now - but it won't let me.
Keith

For the immediately problem, you can shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.
There may be a process (program) running on your computer in the background that continuously monitors mounted volumes for things like maintenance, data corruption, and malware. The iPod's storage is a mounted volume. If you know of any such program, such as an "anti-virus" utility, and it has settings that allow you to exclude certain volumes, you can set it to ignore the iPod "disk" when connected.
Also, if you are using automatic syncing (not the manual method) to load the iPod, and you have Enable disk use turned ON, turn it OFF. With Enable disk use turned OFF, iTunes only mounts the iPods disk when syncing, then immediately unmounts the disk. Thus, other processes you have running on your PC (not iTunes) will have less of a chance to make the disk "in use" and cause this problem. You won't even have to eject the iPod before disconnecting.

How to reconnect to a disconnected remote ssh session on solaris 10

hi all
How to reconnect to a disconnected remote ssh session on solaris 10
is there a way to accomplish this

No, there's not.
A common solution for this is to get a copy of 'screen'. After connecting via ssh (or any other protocol), you can start a "screen" session. If you get disconnected (or disconnect intentionally), you can later come back on the machine and bring your existing "screen" session back.

How to reconnect files that I can't find on my computer now?

When I got onto my computer and went to Final Cut Express, a couple of my files had apparently gone offline and whilst I know how to fix that I don't know how to reconnect files that I for some reason can't find in the same file, on my computer, that they just were in. I was able to reconnect 2 of the 3 files that were offline but the third I am having trouble with. I did not delete it (it's a sound clip) (and I know I didn't because I looked in my trash) and it's neither on my desktop or the file for this project like it normally would be and I'm wondering if Final Cut moved it or if its hidden or something. I did also search my computer and couldn't find it.
This is a project I am working on that needs to be turned in tomorrow (which was totally realistic until I decided to check on it once more) and now I think I can get an extension until Thursday, so I would GREATLY appreciate any helpful tips or advice anyone can give!
Thanks so much!

Hello Sarah,
FCE should not delete anything from your computer as it deals only with file paths rather than the real media files.
If this audio file is not anywhere to be found on your computer then you will have to get another one if possible.
Did you move any files using the Finder the FCE relied on?
The only time I have heard of files going missing like this is when they are bounced from FCE to Sound Track or Motion.
If you did not do this then it's a mystery???

How does FCE reconnect offline files?

Can someone explain the mechanism that Final Cut uses to reconnect offline files? If I understood the process, possibly I might be able to solve the following problem:
I have a project with many offline files. They happen to be all of the still photos whose source is an iPhoto Library. In the timeline (where all the offline files are shown in red), a right click reveals the correct name of each file, however, FCE is unable to reconnect.
If I try to reconnect, there is no indication of any Offline Files in the Reconnect Window. If I select the Search button and navigate to the location of the missing files, all of the file names are grayed out.
How is it that FCE knows the name of the offline files but not their location nor is able to reconnect with either the Locate or Search functions?

"When you navigate to the file names can you hit the All Files in the SHOW sub-menu?"
Yes, I can select All Files, which allows me to select and reconnect a single file. If I select more than one file, nothing happens. I have many files to reconnect. Doing them one at a time is not practical.
In the past, I have been able to reconnect multiple files, simultaneously. Of course, those files were also listed in the Reconnect Files window. This time they are not.
Regarding changing the file path, in the past I have moved the location of source files and after launching FCE, it seems to know immediately where they are. So, apparently that is not the problem.
For the record, this project has many Bins, each containing a sequence, many video clips and still photos. This is the only bin that has a problem and it is only with the still photos in that bin and sequence. One more bit of info that may or not be meaningful: This particular bin was temporarily misplaced within another bin. For some time, I thought that it was lost. When I finally discovered it, I moved it to its proper location and it was then that I discovered the offline files problem.

FAQ: My files are missing from Elements Organizer, or How to reconnect your images?

What is Elements Organizer?
The Elements Organizer can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Orgnizer, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is an Elements Organizer catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Elements Organizer. When importing a file, the first thing Organizer does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and yourr catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Elements Organizer say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Elements Organizer, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Elements Organizer, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Anything besides reconnecting all the files, such as switching the drive letter (if that is even possible)?
The easiest way to fix this is to change the drive letter. Here are instructions for Windows 7: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/change-drive-letters-windows-7.htm
To prevent this from happening again, you can change the drive to some very high letter, like X:, and then it should remain constant. In Lightroom, right-click on the top level folder ,and select Find Missing Folder, and then point it to your X: drive.
I know I can "Import---Add to catalog" all the photos from my external hard drive back into the catalog but I do have a question:
I won't address your question specifically, since re-importing is a very bad idea. A very bad idea. You will lose information that is not in the sidecar files, such as collection members, edit history, flags, virtual copies, stacks and a few other things. Just don't go there. Change the drive letters, as I explained.

"Reconnect All" actually only reconnects ONE file at a time?

Hi,
I recently moved all my referenced masters from a USB drive which was rapidly filling up, onto a NAS (Netgear ReadyNAS Duo 2TB).
The Masters are all in exactly the same file structure (...Aperture --> Aperture Photos --> year --> month) as they were on the USB, but now have a different drive name (it's now on a network share called Media, rather than a USB drive which was called something different).
I seem to recall the feature 'Reconnect All' did just that - ie you would:
1. Select all photos in the Library (including connected and disconnected 'orphan' ones)
2. find a single photo which has been disconnected / master reference lost
3. find it's 'true' master and point to it in the bottom frame of the 'Locate Referenced Files' dialogue box
4. Click "reconnect all" and easy as you like, Aperture would use the relative position of this file to the old one, and reconnect all the disconnected files in the library.
Now, it seems only to reconnect the single file I've pointed at.
So question is, is this something I'm misremembering (ie it never worked this way?), something they've deliberately changed in Ap3.1, or something I'm doing wrong?
does it matter that this new media share is an AFP or CIFS network drive rather than a direct connected USB drive?
Any help gratefully received as I have 50 thousand images which are orphans at the moment, and I can't think how else to get them reconnect to their correct place in the library.
Thanks in advance
Craig

have tried your suggestion Kirby but doesn't seem to make any difference I'm afraid.
I have noticed a further issue which may be useful...
In the reconnect referenced files dialog, the old location of the files is listed as being on a drive called <null>.
the majority of the disconnected files (actually, they're listed as 'offline' files with the red cross in the bottom right of the preview) are referenced as being in this former drive location - it used to be a RAID set which I have since had to get rid of because one of the USB drives within it failed.
I managed to recover my files from a backup, put them on my new NAS (by drag and drop to answer a question above) and assumed i'd be able to reconnect them at a later date. I've been working without them being properly referenced for a number of weeks, and it's only now that I've started trying to work with them again, that I've discovered this issue that reconnect won't work.
One last thing I've tried which may be useful info...
As a separate check, I created some 'test orphans', by changing the directory name for a small number of files on the new network drive. If I go through the same Reconnect All procedure for these test orphans, then the Reconnect All works perfectly.
So it seems the root cause may be something to do with this 'Null' drive name, but I'm no closer to finding a solution or even a usable workaround.
Haven't properly played with network drive settings yet... thanks all for the thoughts on that topic, I will have a further play tonight and let you know if anything else comes up.

PSE7 External hard drive rename does not disconnect files but...

I am running Vista, and keep my pic files on an external HD (Drive F:).
Occasionally I would run into the issue that my EHD would get bumped to the G: drive (because I would plug something else into the USB port). When I would open PSE6 Organizer with the drive designated as G:, my files would show as disconnected. I could either search and reconnect all the files each time, or just remap (am I using that term correctly?) the drive back to F: and reopen the organizer and it would find them fine. I understood how to fix this problem in PSE6. I also assumed if I wanted to change my EHD designation, that would be the way to do it.
Here's the issue: I've upgraded to PSE7, converted my catalogs, and all is well WHEN the drive remains as F:. I want to remap my EHD to the W: designation (to solve the bumping to a different drive letter name issue). But now in PSE7, if I change the drive letter to anything other than F:, and then open the Organizer, the F: designation shows up as a 'ghost' (greyed out, and read-only evidently).
I can still view the files, edit them, print them, and if I try to reconnect like before, it tells me there are no disconnected files! I CAN'T move the files or folders, create new folders, add folders to watchlist, etc. (by right-clicking in the folder location view). Incidentally, the properties for each file lists them as on the W: drive, but clicking on a file points to a 'ghost/greyed' folder under the 'ghost' F: drive in the folder location view.
HOW can I change the drive designation and get the organizer to update the thumbnails to point to THAT drive designation, so I can work with all the files and folders like normal? Am I stuck on the F: drive forever???!!!
Thanks!

John, Thanks for the reply. Here is what I get when I run the utility with my EHD set to F:, which is where PSE7 knows most of the the files to be. (I do have some occasional files on the internal C: drive.)

OKay, I KNOW there is a wrong drive letter in the catalog, but when this happened in PSE6, I could just reconnect files and go with the new drive letter. That's actually what I want to do here (as painful as it will be to reconnect all my files!) I'm tired of my EHD drive getting bumped around to different letter designations (and causing problems like this), so I'm trying to set it to something far out that won't get bumped.
Help?

What to do about disconnected files?

I have used Photoshop Elements 9. A few months ago, many of my pictures became disconnected (11,2261 of them). Around that time we had severe thunderstorms -- I wonder if I lost the pictures as a result?
Their thumbnails still appear in my organizer but with a yellow question mark in the upper left hand corner.
I have always preserved the photo files on back up disks as I went along.
I recently bought PSE 11; the program instructions say that I should convert my catalog from PSE 9 .
I am unsure how to proceed --what I should do to preserve the information about these pictures?
What is the best way to proceed without messing up the new program?

It's important to understand that you get missing files when you move, rename or delete pictures outside of the organizer. You can't reconnect deleted pictures, for renamed ones, you would have to reconnect each file individually... So the reconnect feature is mainly useful for moved pictures, particularly when a whole folder has been moved, either voluntarily or by accident. An extreme case is when you have restored a full backup made on an external software on a new drive or master folder (changing OS for instance).
If you have to restore a number of files by searching in a your computer with tens of thousands of pictures in thousands of folders, your first task should be to able to specify the 'exact folder you want to check', otherwise the automatic global search may take many days...
So the advice is to look in the organizer at the location where the catalogs expect the files to be, and to search via the explorer/finder where the real pictures are in the computer. Then you can tell the reconnect dialog where to begin the search. In that case, the reconnection is very quick.

Disconnected files are in Recycle Bin PSE 7 - Vista 64

I am getting disconnected files and am wondering what I'm doing wrong. These are files I only access through PSE7, never Windows Explorer. I'm not changing their location or names. What I think may be happening is after I edit a photo, I have been unstacking them and deleting the original -- and also deleting it from my hard drive. I only want to keep the edited version. I just need someone to confirm that's what's happening. I used an old version previously that gave me the option of "replace original with edited". PSE7 doesn't do that, I think. But I don't need two versions out there on my hard drive, only the edited. How do I get rid of the original safely? These disconnected files appear to be in my recycle bin and I can figure out how to get them back, just want to know what I'm doing wrong. "Watched folders" is confusing to me, as it only pops up when I go off to another catalog (I have many), so I don't want those photos from another catalog brought in there. Also, can someone tell me if there is a maximum number of pictures allowed in a catalog? Thank you!

Mary,
When PSE 7 modifies the metadata (captions, notes, dates/times, etc.) of a file, it often places a copy of the original in the Recycle Bin:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Photos_appear_in
This is normal, and you can feel free to empty the Recycle Bin at any time.
Your procedure for getting rid of the original version of an edited photo is fine: Save the edited photo in a version set, then delete the original from within PSE. Nothing untoward should happen.
> I am getting disconnected files and am wondering what I'm doing wrong. These are files I only access through PSE7, never Windows Explorer.
Do the Organizers thumbnails of these files have a yellow question mark in their corner? And does File > Reconnect > All Missing bring up a list of these files? (I want to verify that they are indeed disconnected.)
> Now when I'm in my "recipes" catalog, it shows a picture from my "grandma's old photos" catalog, with the recipe caption that I orignally assigned in the "recipes" catalog. I can understand that the caption may stay with the catalog, but can't figure why there are three different photos with the same file name. I'm afraid to scan any more until I get an answer. I scan a lot of pictures and am going through all my family's historical pictures. These are all going into a "scanned photos" folder and the file name is assigned by either PSE or the scanner.
What is the precise workflow you are using to scan? It appears you are doing File > Get Photos And Videos > From Scanner?
> I scan a lot of pictures and am going through all my family's historical pictures. These are all going into a "scanned photos" folder and the file name is assigned by either PSE or the scanner. Is there a way to tell PSE that I want subfolders separated by date? I have Epson V500 Scanner, if that helps.
The File > Get Photos And Videos > From Scanner command places all scanned images into the Pictures\Adobe\Scanned Photos folder. But it assigns a unique name to each file and it wont overwrite an existing file. (I just used the command to scan a photo, and PSE gave it the name Scanned Photos\Image1.jpg; I then scanned a photo into a second catalog, and PSE gave it the name Scanned Photos\Image1-1.jpg. ) You can change the folder it uses for scanned images via Edit > Preferences > Scanner. Using a different folder for each catalog may help you organizationally, but it shouldnt have any effect on the problems youre encountering.
For one of the photos that has the same name in two different catalogs, what does the Properties pane show as the full folder location and name in each of the two catalogs?

How do I share files between a PowerPC 8100 OS 7.6.1 and an iMac OS 10.7.4 over ethernet

How do I share files between a PowerPC 8100 OS 7.6.1 and an iMac OS 10.7.4 over peer to peer ethernet connection? I'm trying to get data off the old machine so I can retire it for good. Can I just save the data and worry about file conversion later?

Addendum
There is a relatively simple server-based way of avoiding difficulties with incompatible system versions et cetera. It could possibly be of some interest.
I tested the following between a System 7.5.3 PowerBook 540 and a Windows XP PC. It ought to work with a System 7.6.1 Power Macintosh 8100 and a MacOS X 10.7.4 iMac as well.
a) Download and install Microsoft Personal Web Server 1.0 for Macintosh onto the 8100. If the 8100 does not have a direct Internet connection, carry out the download on another computer, and then try to transfer the hqx file (as it is) on a CD-R (burn at a low speed) or a 1.44 MB floppy (use StuffIt Expander to decode the hqx on the 8100). Do not change or add anything after the installation; just leave the files as they are.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164571
b) Drag a compressed example archive (we can call it example_file.sit) to the folder My Personal Web Site (there are other files inside this folder; do not worry about them). Ensure that the compression format is compatible with a decompression tool on the receiving computer.
c) Many people have access to a router (wired or wireless) with a built-in Ethernet switch (usually something like four LAN ports). If applicable, disconnect any incoming Internet (the WAN port). If possible/necessary, switch off the wireless (see the router manual for details about this).
d) Switch off both computers (and the router).
e) Connect an AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver (such as the aforementioned Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver) to the AAUI port of the 8100.
f) Connect an Ethernet cable from the transceiver to the first LAN port of the router.
g) Connect an Ethernet cable from the second LAN port of the router to the iMac.
h) Switch on the router.
i) Start the computers.
j) The TCP/IP control panel on the 8100 is set to connect via Ethernet. DHCP Server is used in this case.
k) Open the Microsoft Personal Web Server control panel.
l) Click on the Start button.
m) Wait (can take a while).
n) Notice the exact address at My URL (under Monitor Web Site). Could be something like http://192.168.1.2 (depends on the router).
o) Launch a web browser on the iMac (I did the testing on the PC with Firefox and Safari).
p) Enter the exact address (see n above) in the browser's address field (http://192.168.1.2 in my example). Press Return. A standard web page should appear. Disregard this page for now.
q) Add the exact file name (example_file.sit) to the address shown in the field. The result would be http://192.168.1.2/example_file.sit in my case. Press Return.
r) The file should start to download to the modern computer.
All the above is intended for a local connection only (otherwise security settings become of importance), and should be considered purely experimental. There are further possibilities (including an FTP plug-in), but it also makes everything more complicated. I have not tested the behaviour with large files or with various files types. Sometimes the server may crash. If so, try a restart. Make sure that you have backup copies of important files already at the 8100 before you begin.
Good luck!

How to fix 'missing files' in Lightroom 4? [was: adobe lightroom 4]

Hi,
I have the scenario whereby all the images, I assumed, on my hard drive were as I imported to my catalogue. but it now appears that all of my images, are showing as previews but some are showing as 'missing files'. Attempts to reconnect are proving futile as the usual click on and find previous file location location point me to the 'c' drive with a request for the file name. On doing this, the 'C' drive doesn't appear to the have file name I require. Have I in-advertately scrubbed something? I have a lot of images of my grandkids, some of which I can delete but there is one particular image of my premature born grandaughter in the hospital I really need to keep.
I can't do any saving, moving of files whilst these question marks are in place, can someone help as this software, is not as user friendly as I first assumed. All I want is a simple walk thru explanation of saving images from a camera and sorting of existing HD files,(many from past shoots on different cameras), to enable me to sort into some kind of format.
Would it be a good idea to completely scrub all of my images from the 'C' hard drive, (I have a backup on my external deskstop drive), and start afresh?
I have a external drive connected to my laptop and all those images are showing ok with no missing file links. It's only the laptop internal drive that is showing the problem.
any help would be a bonus as the online youtbe video instructions don't answer my problem.

Thanks Jim for your response,
I will upgrade to 5.3

how to open NRW-files in Lightroom 4?I
created by JimHess in Photoshop Lightroom - View the full discussionThe only way to use those files with Lightroom 4 is to convert them to DNG using DNG converter 8.3 or higher. The camera wasn't supported in Lightroom until version 5.3.
