Total Crash!! Can't find my templates in backup.

My hard drive died dead. Could not access anything even with hacking software.

Thankfully I had a back up from a few weeks earlier but couldn't restore to a new hard drive, but could restore all the files to another drive.

BUT I can't find my LR templates in the Adobe folders anywhere. I presume they are there somewhere but can't find them manually looking through the folders or searching by .lrtemplate.

Any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks,
Terry

Re: Total Crash!! Can't find my templates in backup.

Location depends on your OS. See: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … b_template

hopefully you have a backup of your Lightroom/ folder that contains all your presets, web engines, etc.?

Yes, those folders lived in the My Pictures folder but no lrtemplates except 2 from 2/15. The back up was from 2 weeks ago.

Sounds like time to rebuild....

You're storing the presets with the catalog?

Re: Total Crash!! Can't find my templates in backup.

No, I installed them per TTG instructions, but several showed up there. That's why I was looking for the templates in the Adobe folders.

As a last resort, last night I scanned my deleted files with a program called Pandora and found and recovered my templates. Something really wonky happened to my drive before it crashed.

Thankfully I ducked a big bullet on this one!!

Thanks again for your time!
