I have a book in LRC where some photos show an exclamation mark. However, I can choose Right click-->edit in Photoshop on the film strup thumbnail for that photo (still in book mode), and the expected original photo opens up for editing. I.E., the file isn't missing and in fact book mode knows where to find the original. I can also show in explorer (works) and Go To Folder in Library (works) What's going on here?

An exclamation mark on a book photo is a warning that the photo resolutionwill be 'low'

Hover the cursor on the exclamation mark to give the explanation.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Of course. I did not realise that these marks were on the photo in the book, not on the image in the film strip.

There are different exclamation mark icons, meaning different things. Maybe it's one of those other icons?

Maybe. There's no UX that provide more info. Hovering over it provides no guidance. For reference, here's the image.

That is not the 'missing image' exclamation mark. It looks more like the exclamation mark that says that the metadata have changed. You can ignore that because it is irrelevant for your book.
