Because of this, I manually copy & paste a lot of development settings across images in the same series. Mostly I use the sync button after selecting a few images in the filmstrip, but sometimes I prefer to use the context menu. Lightroom however, has placed the develop settings options in different positions in the context menus of the develop module and the library module. This seems counter intuitive, and I for one, simply cannot get used to it.

It would have been much better to place it right underneath “Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3…” in both modules.

Lightroom library module

Library module

Lightroom develop module

Develop module

I also do not understand the logic behind calling it “Settings” in develop module, and “Develop Settings” in library module: the context menu for both of these are the same (Reset, Copy Settings, Paste Settings, etc). Hopefully, these inconsistencies will be addressed in the next Lightroom release.

They show up in Windows Explorer (or Apple Finder) at their correct location.

Missing files in Lightroom

To fix this, select the incorrectly labeled photos and remove them from Lightroom’s library.

After that, you can simply import them again (Import photos at their current location), and Lightroom will no longer label them as missing.

Please note that you’ll need to double check that these photos are indeed where they are supposed to be before removing them from Lightroom library. If they are truly missing, they may need to be retrieved from back up.

Also note, that if these images were previously part of a collection, they may have been deleted from these collections.
