<p>Thank you Andrew, I have loaded the Backup Catalog and it went OK. No more 17540 previews. Can I now delete the Corrupt one with the 17540 from Lightroom ? My terminology may not be correct but I am hoping you will understand what I am trying to say. <br> Regards Peter</p>

<p>Hi all, I need some help please. I have messed up my Lightroom 5.7 . Trying to Export than re import etc. Now I have instead of 4230 pictures I have 17540. Can I select all 17000 and delete them from lightroom and then import the locator information from my weekly Lightroom back ups? I would not delete the actual images just remove them from Lightroom. I had forgotten that Lightroom does not store the actual images but just their location. Anyway what a mess. As far as I can tell there does not appear to be a easy to use duplicate image remover software on the Web. They all list all the files and then it is manually remove one by one. I did not move the actual pictures but just Export and then import in Lightroom. The export of course resulted in the subsequent message of file could not be found when trying to work on the image in Lightroom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Peter</p>

<p>Thank you all very much. I will copy them to a hard drive. Regards Peter</p>

<p>Hi all, I have a question regarding importing Images from a CD into Lightroom 5.7.<br> Here is what is happening: the images are on a CD I import them into Lightroom. They show up on my screen in the Library module. All is well so far. When I remove the CD all the images are no longer available to be worked on. It says they are missing. When I re-insert the CD without importing them again all is well again and the missing image symbol goes away. Why do the images not stick after import? What am I doing wrong. I have tried the tutorials from Adobe but no luck . Any help would be very much appreciated. Regards Peter</p> <p> </p>

<p>Hi Lex, thank you for the reply. It was /is Malwarebytes Pro that stopped the Image download. Once I disabled it all was OK and working as others have said.</p> <p>Regards Peter </p>

<p>Hi Jeff thank you for your help, no that is not working. I right click and select save image as but it fails. E-Mail image to myself works. So I guess that is the way to do it.<br> Regards Peter</p>

<p>Hi Jeff, I was not clear enough in my post. I need to somehow get the image so I can work on it. Then post it on the forum after I am done.</p>

<p>Hi all, running Win7 Home and Firefox I am unable to save as or any other save of the image. So I am unable to participate in the post processing challenge. Any help would be appreciated. Firefox says " failed".</p>

<p>Hi Sarah, " The only digital preservation strategies that make sense involve continuing to migrate to newer forms of storage from forms that are nearing obsolescence". This was the idea. Keep buying new then current hardware along with the then storage media. I believe it should be possible. In the future you would end up with a museum of old electronics. 'You might even charge admission to see it'. A lighthearted comment. Keep smiling.<br> Regards Peter</p>

<p>in my post the last sentence should have read along with "then current hardware."<br> Sorry Peter</p>

<p>Hi all, regarding preservation options. Why not save the images on a hard drive along with the Computer, Monitor and printer for future use in let say 20 years from now. Then the new guardian does the same and pass on the task to the next generation along with all the hardware. Regards Peter</p>

<p>Hi Andrew and Ellis, thank you for your help. Must I be in the new Master Catalog when I import all the old Catalogs? Regards Peter</p>

<p><img src="/photo/17493873" alt="" />Dear Forum members, I think I have too many catalogs all the way from Lightroom 2. Unless I am in the correct Catalog the Images I am looking for are not there. Unless lightroom is opened with that catalog the Keyword section does not show what I like to use. Should I combine them all? If so how? It would make it so much easier when all the pictures are available when Lightroom is started rather than going thru the open recent list to find the one catalog that you need. Any help would be appreciated. I was trying to add the image Jpeg of all the catalogs but no luck. I was looking for a location prompt which would have been Desktop but it never did that it wanted a image URL whatever that means the image location is my desktop. Without the backups I have 11 Catalogs.<br> Regards Peter</p> <div></div>
