I read recently online, someone asking for help to find previously imported images in Adobe Lightroom. They had set a location, imported and after changing folders couldn't find where they had imported images to.
It sounds like a simple fix, and in a way it is, but sometimes it can be confusing and until you get to know your software there is that time when this kind of thing can occur - is it on an external drive, date based folders or all thrown together in one big folder? Or indeed a combination of these.
Thankfully Lightroom has a few ways of helping out in this case.
- Go to Library (G) or Loupe (E) view and in the Catalog panel on the left column look for Previous Import, this will bring you to your most recent import.
- And if you need to find the location that these images are stored in, right click on any of the images and choose Show in Explorer
Adobe Lightroom - Right Click > Show in Explorer- This will bring up in Windows Explorer the actual folder that the images are stored in.
That's it, now you know how to find your most recently imported images in Adobe Lightroom, like this one of a colourful autumnal woodland path from Ireland.
