Is not LR keeping thumbnails separated from the raw files*? (remember I do not use LR) If that is the case there is no proof at all that the raw are being read.

* To allow tracking on remote (off computer) files?

The thumbnails in LR are but copies of the thumbnails in the rawfile. They exist outside of the raw file, and can be converted to jpgs simply by changing the suffix to ".jpg" Unfortunately, these thumbnails are very small, the thumbs in the raw file are bigger.

For whatever reason the data in a raw file which makes up the NEF or CR2 seems to be more vulnerable to corruption than the embedded jpeg. (some raw files have more than one size of embedded jpg), most extractors choose the largest.

If these images are in LR, and if LR cannot read the raw file, it will show the thumb and mark it as image missing. If LR can "see" the raw file, the preview will be shown as good and the only indications of the file being corrupted with show up in the Develop Module.

Recovering .jpg thumbnail files

He has lost the cr2....

I read it as the cr2 raw is corrupt but the preview file still exists within the raw file.

If he means the preview is already separate from the raw, then the thumbs may be recoverable as mini-jpgs, depends what software is showing them. In this case the thumbs will serve as a reminder to back up in future.

Recovering .jpg thumbnail files

I had my RAW images (as .CR2 files) on a hard disk that crashed. I tried all kinds of recovery methods. I can see the thumbnails, but the RAW files are so corrupted they won't display. Is there a way to somehow save the JPG thumbnails as a way to at least have those images. I had some kind of major computer wreck that wiped out my hard disk and completely erased my backup drive.

type into Google "Extract jpeg from cr2" and you will get a lot of sites which provide free extractors. I can't recommend one above the other because I don't use CR2 files.

I use one for extract jpegs from NEF files by Kevin Peng. It works instantly, cleanly and extracts the Large jpg from the raw file. (The large jpeg has the same pixel dimensions as the raw file.)

Make sure you choose one for CR2 files and compatible with your op system.

Some of these work by entering code, some just work by using the "Send to" on the right click menu in Windows.

I don't have the same version as you, so try Rongnongno's
idea first.

The method I use to move images around two screens is to "Consolidate all to tabs" then drag the image I want on screen 2 by the tab to the second screen.

I am making a storyboard for a whitegoods supplier who wants to brighten the image of his products with fabrics, flowers etc. When I produce a storyboard, it usually starts with something silly and evolves.

oh Searcher I was hoping that would fix it but it didn't. aww man!!!!! maybe on your CC but not on this. BTW, i do have a copy on my laptop and it works great.....Any more suggestions?

Please let me recap the problem, if I have it wrong, do correct me.

On the screen clip below there are 2 monitors,

On the right is screen 1 where I work
On the left is screen 2 on which is the control panel of a washing machine.

I am cloning the washing machine panel from screen 2 to the flower pictures on screen 1

Is this what you are trying to do?

Probably the same in CC,

On the menu bar Windows > Arrange > Float All in Windows

That should leave the images where you put them.

A question about file handling when backing up to an external drive

You probably haven't got 57000 pictures; if you have 20000 raw images and 20000 xmp files, that will record as 40000 objects, plus each folder and sub-folder are objects etc. Grand total is the sum of every object.
