Question

Where are my edited images in Lightroom: not in Cloud

Hi all,

I spent several hours editing my first image in Lightroom CC.  Long story short, I had to restart my computer because I wanted to bring it into Photoshop, but PS would not open, so I downloaded new version of Photoshop.

Here is the problem:  I re-opened Lightroom, and now I cannot find the edited version of my image. I went to the cloud and can't find it. I thought there would be a File-->Open Recent option but there is not. I see the original image I was working on without the edits when I go to the Home button. It has Edits highlighted, but this first image is the original. (see attached)

I understood that the Adobe Cloud automatically saved my edits, but I am unable to access. 

Can anyone please help me in trying to find the last file I worked on in Lightroom?

Mac 10.13.6 (High Sierra)

Lightroom CC 3.3

Thanks in advance.

It seems like the edits were not synced to the cloud yet when you force quitted Lightroom. I don't think there is anything you can do about that.

Update:  I found this tutorial on how to save a file to my Mac https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/how-to/share-albums-photos-lightroom-cc.html 

That's great, but I'm still hoping to find the file I was editing in Lightroom before I had to Force Quit.

 

Thanks!

Update #2:  Well good news.  I realized that I was not connected to the cloud. I turned off my VPN and am now connected.  Even though my original edits weren't saved, I now know why.

 

Won't make that mistake again!
