Where are my projects after I reinstall Narrative?
If your projects don't show after you reinstall Narrative, your photos and ratings are still safe. Narrative doesn't store or delete your photos. It reads them from the folder you imported them from, and saves your star ratings, color labels and tags in XMP files next to your photos.
To get a project back, create a new project from the same folder. Narrative reads your ratings from the XMP files, so you can carry on where you left off. Learn how to create a new project.
