Hello

 

I have a problem with the ''library''  of Ligtroom Classis. In the beginning, I saw an image of all the photos. Not anymore, only in ''development'' do I see the photo itself. Why is this and what can I do about it?

 


Hope someone can help me. Thanks

The three dots in the top right corner of the thumbnails indicate that your Library previews are corrupted.

Deleting the preview cache will usually fix it.

With LrC closed, go to the folder  that contains the catalog (with the File explorer). If you don't know where it is, go to Edit > Catalog settings, and click the Show button in the top right corner of the dialog that appears.

 

Delete the file whose name ends with  Previews.lrdata. Do not delete anything else.

Launch LrC, and the previews will rebuild as you browse folders in Library.

How did you go with rebuilding previews Jeroen?

I have exactly the same problem, as do others, and having deleted the preview file the previews do not build as I browse!
