All you are seeing is a display refresh problem. The fact that you can close LR and reopen is an indication that you have not lost irreplaceable photos. So, it is possible that Yosemite might be contributing to the problem. If the previews including thumbnails aren't getting updates or if the loupe view hangs before fully resolving, then the problem is a display problem I've found Yosemite to be flakier in this regard than earlier versions of OS X. If the Original is a NEF, then there is a ACR Cache image, and several LR previews images in between. All you have been looking at on the screen are previews not the original image. The original image file remains untouched, open only to read and create previews. While there might be reasons that the app might not update the thumbnail, these are not indications that LR has lost the image. My Lightroom files are kept on the internal drive, and the actual images on an external 4 TB drive. My system is an i7 Quad core iMac with 8 GB, and OS 10.10.1. If Lightroom deletes an image on an external drive that has no Trash, they’re gone for good. I put mine in a safe folder that Lightroom doesn't know about. Or make sure you keep a backup copy of any valuable shots. I would encourage users NOT to delete images from your camera card until you've finished working with them in Lightroom. The only fix here again, is to quit the catalog then re-open. Extensive work sometimes seems to confuse Lightroom’s ability to remember what goes where.Īnother sign of internal problems is that Lightroom sometimes fails to display an image in full “Loupe” resolution in "Library" mode, displaying a lower resolution one instead. The problem seems to happen when switching back and forth between "Library" and "Develop" modes while working on images, and re-arranging thumbnails by drag-dropping in “Library”. I've lost a couple of irreplaceable photos because of this bug. In a more severe case, the original can be deleted altogether - gone forever. Closing and re-opening the catalog seems to put everything back in order. In most cases the original image is still there but it’s represented by the wrong thumbnail. Sometimes while I’m working on a Catalog, Lightroom will randomly replace a screen thumbnail with another image in the folder. Lightroom 5.7.1 for Mac has some serious issues that could cost you to loose some irriplaceable images.
