I worked on an image and saved the final product. . . . When I went to look for it today, it has dissappeared completely.
Anyone else seen this or have an explanation?
The only times Lightroom has ever "lost" any of my files were when I was deleting adjacent images in the grid view or filmstrip, inadvertently included a photo I actually wanted to keep in the selection, and then clicked on
Delete from Disk in the image removal dialog instead of just extracting the images' entries from the Lightroom database. In other words, operator error. Not a Lightroom bug.
I've done this a number of times. Since the files I am working on are backed up to a remote server once a minute, I may rebuke myself for my "fat fingers" but I don't worry about losing anything. But if I didn't have that back-up regime in place, I would probably make a habit of using the
Remove from Lightroom option rather than deleting the source files.
