Total disaster hit this morning. Photo shoot and uploaded photos as usual. Went to Develop module to work on selected images. Then suddenly started getting messages about unsupported files and questionable damaged files. Looked at all photos in catalog and getting same messages. 30,000 photos appear to all be affected and missing in action. Omigosh what to do.
Current set up: OS 10.10.4 on iMac.
Photos on WD external drive currently.
Fortunately all photos backed up online on Smugmug.
But LR appears totally to have crashed somehow. Maybe external drive related. Iʻve got no idea. Have to do another shoot this AM.
What to do? What to try? I donʻt know where to start.
Help! Help! Help!
