Question

Previews greyed out

The entire catalogue of photos is greyed out with three dots in the top right hand corner. It’s happened on two catalogue’s but others are fine. What can I do to bring back the preview image? When I click on each individual one it opens but I need to see the previews so I can batch edit

    Does rebuilding the previews help? Pick a few photos, then select Library->Previews->Build Standard Sized Previews.

    Hey, @Heath77. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll move your conversation to Lightroom Classic.


    There could be a few reasons for this, and I am sharing a few conversations where a similar behavior was reported that you can go through.

    LrC won't load any image/preview

    &

    Lightroom Classic 15.2 not showing thumbnails after import, only if you do a restart, then you see the thumbnails


    Let me know how it goes.
    Thanks!
