Need help asap...Lightroom won't export

zoomer

Finished a batch of photos.

When I went to export them I made the mistake of renaming the file they came from now Lightroom says they do not exist.

I can see the photos in Lightroom they are still there ready to be exported but they will not export.

How can I get Lightroom to recongnize them and export.

Need help asap please.
Thanks

Can you just reload the original files?

There are over 800 photos in the original file.
They are in a file on my computer...which I then imported into Lightroom.
Then I tagged 380 of them and processed them.
Now I am trying to export them out of Lightroom after processing.

When the export menu opened I decided to rename the original file that I had imported the files from...that was my mistake....now Lighroom will not recognize the processed files and I cannot export.

How do I get Lightroom to recogize my processed images so I can export.

Thanks

I don't know how to do them in bulk, but you can locate them one at at tiem. In the Library window you should see a ? icon if LR can't find the image. Click on it an it will let you locate, even if it has a different name now.

The images you are seeing for the missing photos are the thumbnails LR stores in its database.

I had to change the name of the folder where the original raws were stored outside of lightroom. After I did that I clicked on the question mark, steered Lightroom to the folder with the original raws and it synced right up.
Thanks.
