Is it possible to extract images from Lightroom's preview cache? For example if I lose some of the original image files before weekly backup.

JPEG Preview is set to Medium size so I would not get the full images but it'd be better than nothing.

I'm using version 2.6

Lightroom stores its previews as lrpreview files. I've heard you can extract them using BitmapRip, but a better approach would be using this Lightroom Extract Cached Images Plugin.

(I just saw that this question has already been answered over at photo.stackexchange.com, see there for more details.)

Nice, the Lightroom Extract Cached Images Plugin seems to be exactly what I was looking for – Siim K Jan 25 '11 at 20:25
