I ran into this same problem today and found the answer. Essentially Lightroom is simply

losing its connection to the original image file; to correct this problem you reset the path

to the original file. <br />You do this in the following manner:<br />

1. Switch to the Library module, grid view<br />

2. In the left hand column look for the "Library" section - missing files will show up under

a collection called "Missing files"; select this collection.<br />

3. Look in the grid and notice that all the files in the "Missing files" collection exhibit a

question mark in the grid display.<br />

4. Right click (Option-click) on the question mark and one of the options presented is to

find the missing file. <br />

5. Select the find missing file option and follow the prompts to locate the file. <br />

6. That's it. Once you do one file for a collection LR finds all the other missing files

provided that all the missing files are in the same directory as the first missing file. <br /

>If they

are scattered around your computer, reset each path amnually following steps 1 - 5

above.

<br /><br />

I hope this helps.
