Finding Source File

[Recumbent-guy]

Using Lightroom Classic CC and trying to print files but I get a message that the "source file" is missing.  Other files taken and processed at the same time are able to be printed.  Can you tell me what happened and how to correct the problem and find the missing "source files"?

That indicates that what you are looking at for that particular image is the preview file that was generated. Apparently, the actual file has been moved or is on an external drive that is not connected. Does any of that sound familiar?

Thanks,

Right now I'm traveling so I won't get to this again until Sunday.  I just can't figure out where the source file is since it appears to be in the original folder where it was imported from.  Thanks for the quick reply.

First, you have to find the source file using your operating system (Windows Explorer or Mac Finder). Once you know where it is located, you can reconnect Lightroom to the actual file using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
