Thumbnails to jpegs

[tami0101]

HELLO!

I would love some simple steps to export some Lightroom CC thumbnails to jpegs for a client.  Somehow the file is missing.  Thank you for saving me!  Haha!

"Lightroom CC" is ambiguous! The "CC" is not used by any Adobe Apps now.

Report your Version Number of your "Lightroom".  Screen-clip the report from MENU: Help > System Info...

"file is missing" might suggest you are using Lightroom-Classic, or an 'old' version (6 or earlier).

So please provide more details so replies are suitable for your version of "Lightroom".

Apologies. Lightroom Classic. LrC

The files are missing and I need to use the thumbnails and export them to a
folder on my desktop to print. There is a way to save them as jpeg but
everything I have tried is not working. Please help 🙂

Thanks!

If the files are missing, you need to re-connect them in Lightroom Classic. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

I think @dj_paige intended to show this link-

If you do not have the original camera files, either in the imported folder location or in a backup, then you will not be able to export JPGs. As a last resort there are ways to extract small JPGs from the LrC catalog.
