This is something has been around for quite a while but, still, no right answer. I CANNOT seem to find a way in this green Earth to access images in Lightroom Classic (the latest version) in order to edit them!
I can see them in Adobe Bridge, I can see them in if I access them through Photoshop, I can see them in This PC but CANNOT get them on Lightroom!!!!!
If I do a "Synchronize Folder" then they show but, they all are grayed out. Not the option at the top of the page, but the images themselves. (there's no pic tool that shows up, btw). I have tried everything suggested since this question was posted 4 years ago. I've updated the monitor profile - nothing- Re installed LR- nothing- Imported, copied, added - nothing!
I've watched videos, read forums and talked to other LR users. They either do not understand the question or go on a historical rant of every single tool every created by Adobe. GRRRR.
Every time I Synchronize that folder, the images show- grayed out while on "All" images at the top of the page. If I click on "new" nothing really happens. BTW. the images in question are on the same drive as the main folder of catalog whatever.
I have wanted to like LR. I have been able to work some images and "organized" some folders, but what it should be an easy thing is turning out to be an unwinnable quest.
I have no idea how many wasted hours I have spent on this program just trying to access images that supposedly are THERE!
All I want/need to know is.... Is there a way to access those images that are grayed out and how do I do it?!?!
Thank you.
