So, Lightroom automatically updated and I lost everything I had until this morning when I last used it.

 

I hope theres a way to recover my work back.

Hi All,

We are aware that some customers who updated to Lightroom 5.4.0 on iPhone and iPad may be missing photos and presets that were not synced to the Lightroom cloud. 

A new version of Lightroom mobile (5.4.1) for iOS and iPadOS has now been released that prevents this issue from affecting additional customers. 

Installing version 5.4.1 will not restore missing photos or presets for customers affected by the problem introduced in 5.4.0. 

We know that some customers have photos and presets that are not recoverable. We sincerely apologize to any customers who have been affected by this issue. 

If you are affected by this issue, please refer to the information in our forum.

See this article for more details. 

Regards,
Sahil

My LR app (used in Iphone) is not working properly. I lost my presets and some photos. It opens preset folders by a sudden. Similar problem happening in the desktop verion of LR.

See https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lost-my-pictures-and-presets-after-update-tod...

There is a 5.4.1 update that fixes the problem, but the update itself does not restore the images and settings. It only solves the problem for people who had not updated yet. To restore the photos you need to have a way to restore your phone from a backup, like an iPhone from an iCloud backup. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184

Hi!

 

I just recently noticed that all the photos I have edited on my iPad since christmas are now gone. I can't locate any of the about 1000+ photos that i have edited since then.

Can not get on to customer service. Will they be compensating people for loosing everything. I would at least like to be able to re purchase the presets that I've spent a hundreds of dollars on. Has anyone had any success with customer service?

Today when I pulled up LR on my phone all of my saved photos are gone as well as all of my saved presets. It does say my subscription has expired, but I was using the free version. I updated the app just in case, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
