I was downloading a handful of processed images and got the above error message. The file is definitely there and the image looks correct on the develop page. All the other images downloaded fine.

There are 2 images that 'photos failed to export'.

What's going on and how do i fix it?

Thank you.

Correct answer dj_paige

This was the original error message. Sorry.

Do the files that export properly have the colon in the file names? Or not?

I think that's the problem.

Also, Lightroom shows a colon in the file name, but Finder shows a slash in that position.

This is a rather fractional message, please tell us the entire message -- better yet show us a screen capture.

That error happens when you have selected image to export that are in the catalog but the actual image file is missing from where LR thinks they are.

Do those images have a exclamation mark ( ! ) on the thumbnail in the upper right hand corner?

If they do then they were moved or deleted outside of LR.

No, no exclamation point. Here is a screen grab for reference. It was only the first 2 images that didn't transfer.

Any further help would be appreciated.

The file names as shown in the Lightroom error message do have the colon in it.

But a word to the wise, don't use special characters in your file names (Exception, the hyphen and underscore work fine).

Noted but won't happen again.

Thank you.
