It’s a fuck up, and the headlines had me panicking more than necessary, since I updated yesterday (but hasn’t opened it yet) but to 5.4.1 not 5.4.0 which has the issue. It’s also only a catastrophe if you stored your original raws solely on your device and with no backup.
>No assets in the Lightroom cloud were lost or are at risk People who have their raws in Lightroom on a desktop are fine, and mobile will just have to redownload smart previews, people who also sync originals/raws to the cloud are fine. It’s only people who have their originals stored solely on the affected device that have actually lost anything.
>No assets in the Lightroom cloud were lost or are at riskhttps://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lost-my-pictures-and-presets-after-update-today-18th-august-2020I do import my raws into Lightroom via my iPad Pro, but I have all originals synced to the cloud. I do also have most of them download to desktop too, to an external HD, I should update that backup.
Let this be a lesson, you all should have some kind of backup that’s disconnected from the software and OS (eg a raid1 isn’t a backup, as whatever happens happens to both drives identically).
I’ve lost lots of photos before, in like 2008, a backup will save you.

When they have those two things and ability to proof and distribute photos from the cloud synced photos without having to manually export and upload jpgs to somewhere then I’ll be interested
