Question

Did Lightroom damage my RAW file?

Hey,

I went back to and old file (at least a few years old) in Lightroom that I wanted to do a new edit on, so I hit the reset button to start over and suddenly the file was corrupted and half the image can't be seen. Anyone know what happened? I even went to the file in the folder and even that was corrupted. How the h*ll did this happen? The file has worked before. Any ideas? Is it even possible to get it back?

Thanks!

So you hit the 'Reset' button in the develop Module?

or Library Module . . . ?

Are your files for editing stored locally or on external hard drives or elsewhere?

I hit it in the develop module.

They are stored on a NAS server with double backup. And they both seem fine.

This is most definitely a hard disk malfunction or memory malfunction.

First, you need to restore a copy of this photo from your backups.
