RAW files showing unedited in Bridge + LR catalog of same files won't open

If you were editing images in Bridge and PS-Camera Raw independent of Lightroom, then the edits of those would either be in XMP files in each folder with the images (the common scenario) and would automatically be used upon opening the images in Bridge/ACR, again, or in a camera-raw database, somewhere, and those edits wouldn't automatically transfer over with the images, you would have needed to copy the CR database manually and specifically.  I think everyone else who's replied is assuming you're just using LR and since that is not working you're trying Bridge and that's not working, either, but in case you mentioned Bridge because that was also a main way you adjusted images on the old computer, the above explains what could have happened.

Assuming, as others have, that Lightroom is your main image-adjustment program, then all you need to do is re-bind all the images to their new image paths on the new computer.  Assuming the images are in the same subfolders relative to each other as on the old computer, or they were on an external drive, already, then, with LR open and in the Library module, you merely need to right-click on each top-level folder in LR's Folders panel and choose Locate Missing Folder or Find Missing Folder--whatever language is used in the right-click menu, and browse over to it on the new computer, and click Ok or Done or Select or whatever the button says.  LR remembers the full path to each image and when you move to a new computer, the top-level folder's location or it's drive letter, can be different.  Without more specific information from you on where the images were located--what the folder path was--on the old computer and on the new computer, it's hard to be more specific.

Image file edited in LR will NOT show those Edits in Bridge or ACR.

Edits done in LR are stored in the LR Catalog File and only show in LR. If you want them to show in Bridge then you need to turn on the option to "Auto Write Changes into XMP" in the LR Catalog Settings.

ninak34089348  wrote I recently got a new computer (Windows based) and with the migration of old to new a bunch of stuff got (a) lost, (b) weird stuff happening to it and (c) mucked up. Amongst the headache of things to sort I have RAW files that have been edited showing as unedited.  Those same RAW's that are in a LR catalog as well won't open at all or show in bottom preview area but then it says "this file cannot be found".  This is for multiple weddings so hundreds of files. Help!!  Anyone!!

Like others have said, these are two separate issues, and both are actually quite simple to explain and to solve.

1: Bridge does not show edits that you made in Lightroom, because Lightroom stores these edits in its catalog and Bridge does not use the Lightroom catalog. The only way you can make Lightroom edits appear in Bridge too is if you select 'Automatically write changes to XMP' in the Catalog Settings - Metadata tab. I assume you did not do that, so that means it's perfectly normal what you (don't) see.

2: The 'missing images' have been explained by others, so I assume you will be able to solve that too now.

It would help us help you if you separate the issues. It sounds like several different things are happening. Missing edits are a different issue than missing images in your Lightroom catalog.

If you have missing photos in your Lightroom catalog it is because Lr lost the link to the images. Mostly likely the drive has a different name or letter than it did with your previous computer. You can fix this by relinking the drive. There are lots of tutorials out there for fixing links, or finding missing files. Here’s a short one that I wrote.

Sounds like the catalog has missing data, as if the files in LR didn't have the metadata saved to them. Do you still have you're old system with the catalog and files?

I'm moving this to the LR forum, as i think this is more a LR issue that one with Bridge.
