Hi Everyone,
I am sorry to bother you, but I need help. I am trying to open my Lightroom catalog, and I am getting an error that the catalog is already in use, but I don't have the app open. I am using Windows 10. I looked in Task Manager but cannot find the app running. Please see screenshot...
I'm a long time LR Classic user with almost 120,000 images in my catalog and so I am reasonably confident in how to use it. I had developed some images recently and in particular had created a PSD of one of them and a panorama stitch from another. Both appeared as normal in the catalog. I was...

I just tried to open my default catalog and was prompted, for some reason, to Upgrade the catalog. I tried opening a backup of the catalog and got the same message, so I clicked OK to allow the Upgrade to precede.
When it was done I went to the Folder in Lr and noticed that there are 162...

I made a serious mistake and I lost my Lightroom Ircat, which I then found back in the "trash" and another catalog in Applications"!.
I read that I will have to "drag" the one in the trash, out of the trash, but do not know how to accomplish this.
Drag: how and whereto?
I really made a big...
I upgraded to LrC 9.4.1 from Lr 8.4.1 on my Mid 2010 Mac Pro running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. The issue is I am getting an error when the new software tries to convert my catalog, see attached screen shot. When I go to Adobe's TechNote I get this link that says delete the lock file which Lr...

Hi guys, so I'm new here. But I'm freaking out.
My Mac was telling me I was running out of space so I was trying to clear up space. I deleted some lightroom catalogs but had backed up lightroom that night at 9:17pm so I deleted everything but that back up/catalog. I deleted some pictures and...

Just a quick note of thanks for the Missing FAQ book. Lightroom wasn't opening as it claimed that the catalog was open in another instance of LR (which wasn't true). Before posting to the forum I reviewed my copy of the Missing FAQ book and found the answer (delete the lr.cat.lock file that was...
Hi There!
I am trying to not freak out here as I have over 20,000 images that are due this week. I have all of my original photos but the last image in my lightroom catalog is from years ago.
I have about 30 different catalogs: editorial, portraits, architecture etc. I have not confirmed that...
My catalogue is huge - 46+ GB. I shoot RAW, so my library is huge. I do, however, cull my photos and dump those I do not want to keep. I create Smart Previews. The photos I do post-edit and keep, I will transfer to my external drive so that at any given time, generally only my most recent...
