I'm working on about 50 photos. The only history changes are the ones that I made two days

ago. It doesn't show the changes I made yesterday, though. Does anyone have any idea why

I would lose the changes I made yesterday and the database would revert back to the last

time it was backed up two days ago? For example, yesterday I flagged some photos as

rejected and when I opened it up again, those photos were now showing as picks (as they

were two days ago) Nothing unusual happened with my computer and this this is the second

time this has happened.

Hmmm. I looked and I don't have any XMP files along with my CR2 files in finder (mac). I

also don't have the "Automatically write changes into XMP" box checked in Lightroom. I

couldn't find the "Save metadata to file" section you talked about. So does this mean that the

metadata is only in my database and when the database reverted back to the last backup

(don't know why it did this) I lost those changes?

So the best way to go about this is to check the "Automatically write changes to XMP" box so I

won't lose my changes again? Thanks!

Hi Alan. Thanks for the response. I'm editing in RAW and I opened the RAW files in

Lightroom again. It seemed that the database reverted back to the last time I had performed

a backup, which was a couple days ago. Where do I find the XMP sidecar files? Do you

recommend using DNG instead of RAW? I'm new to this, so I hope this makes sense. Thanks!

I'm going nuts here. I've just spent hours editing my photos and closed down the program. I later went

back to do some more work and the pevious edits are all gone. I thought Lightroom automatically saves

my work.

Please help.

Thanks,

Jen
