Now what? You've imported the photos, do whatever you want with them.
You should really consider reading or watching some basic tutorials about Lightroom, such as

  • CV02N Error in Windows 7: This file could not be found!

    After uploading a file to the DMS, we could usually double click the file name and the file will be opened automatically in WORD.
    This was succeeded in Windows XP.
    But in Windows 7 environment, after clicking the file name,  the WORD is started, no file opened. It says: This file could not be found!.
    Is there any solution about this issue? Thanks!
    BTW, I have tried GUI 720. But the issue remained the same.

  • I am an absolute newcomer to Lightroom.  I have downloaded images from camera (OMD EM1) and divided them into folders.  Some folders work ok in Develop mode.  With other folders I get the words "This file could not be found".  What should I do

    As an absolute newcomer to Lightroom 5 I have downloaded images direct from camera (IOlympus EM-1) and divided them into folders. When I go into Develop mode, some folders can be developed ok , but with images from two other folders I get the message "This file could not be found".  What should I do?

    may i suggest opening the files in Olymous Viewer 3  and exporting them (you can do some editing there if you wish or not) asTIFF files. After that you can import the new files into LR. LR seems to like tiiff more than .orf files 
    The advantage to using OV3 is that it seems to do a much better job converting RAW EM1 files. Colors are more accurate ( my red flower pot turned orange when loaded directly into lightroom)
    . The tiff files just LOOK better in LR  after the conversion . there is a youtube on this subject and when i tried it myself i was impressed 

  • Lightroom all of a sudden says "This file could not be found"?

    This happened over night and I don't know what to do about it?

    Photos aren't contained in the catalog, their locations and adjustment settings are, but the photos themselves are just on the hard-drive, somewhere.  If something else, outside of LR deleted those photos or moved them, then LR wouldn't know that, and indicate they are missing.
    Are the photos still on your hard-drive or not?  And what is an example path where LR thinks they should be?
    Are they in a different location on the hard-drive than they used to be?
    When you Import photos into LR it remembers where they are, but if you do something to them outside of LR, not using LR's Folder Panel, then it will still expect them to be at the Import location, and if they are not, then you'll see question marks or exclamation points with a message about them not being where they originally were.
    One mistake that could have been made, is that you imported photos into a LR catalog and that catalog remembers them one place, then you opened a new LR catalog and did a Move import, which would move them some other location and they'd be remembered in that second catalog correctly, but not in the first catalog, anymore.  If you only have one LR catalog then this is probably not what happened.

  • This is a new notification coming up with iTunes, why and how do I fix it? The song "Penny Lane" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

    Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
    First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
    Quit iTunes.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
    Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
    Mac OS X
    /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
    \Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
    Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
    Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
    Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
    Rename this file to iTunes Library.
    Open iTunes.
    You should now see your missing content in iTunes.

    If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd go through the steps in here:

    Hi antiklady,
    I see that you may be having an issue with compatibility of iTunes when connecting your iOS device. This sort of issue can arise if you have two versions of iTunes installed on your computer, which I feel may be the case. Here is an article that can tell you how to identify the version of iTunes that you have open:
    iTunes: How to find which version you are using - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201521
    If the version of iTunes that is opened is not the version you are required to use for the iOS device in question, try searching through your computer or applications folder to see if there may be two versions of iTunes installed on your computer. Then, uninstall the version that is incompatible using these steps:
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

  • HT1923 I am using windows 7 and have upgraded itunes to 11. Now when I open my music library in itunes and click on a song it says "original file could not be found" Over 2000 songs come up this way and locate does not seem to work. Before the upgrade all

    With Windows 7 I upgraded itunes to 11. Now in my itunes library, when I click on a song "original file could not be found" comes up. This happens with over 2000 songs, but it seems to be ones I recorded from cd's. Locate does not seem to work. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Highlight a song that is supposedly missing, press CTRL+I to Get Info, say no when asked to locate the file, then look at the summary tab. Where does iTunes "think" the file should be? Where is it really? You may need to give a configuration file a minor tweak.

  • I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

    I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

    How did you do this move?  Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

    When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • "File could not be found" message on top of all images in Library:  How do I fix this?[was:Question]

    New to LR 5.2 Running OS X 10.8.5. Tried to save image in file folder. Now get this message at top of all images in Library: "File could not be found." How do I fix this?

    “Save” is not a term used with LR to create images.  What are you trying to do, exactly, in terms of LR menu options? 
    Are there questions marks on the thumbnails for the images that say File could not be found?
    Sometimes a screenshot can communicate things quicker than words.

  • I am getting this error when I open Firefox after DLing Firefox 5 (never seen this in any other previous version): FATAL ERROR : The dynamic C library contained in the extension file could not be found.

    Hi there,
    I'm getting this error when opening Firefox 5:
    FATAL ERROR : The dynamic C library contained in the extension file could not be found.
    I've never seen this error before... First time it happened was immediately after DLing Firefox 5 yesterday. I haven't DLed or installed anything else recently.
    I see that you already have my system info. Any help is much appreciated!

    Just read in another post that there is a known 49 character limit on the file path for QuickTime movies..

  • Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What do i do?

    I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What can I do?

    I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.
