    I saw a video (link below) to use AI to analyze your image data over time as exported from Lightroom.

    Catalogs Lightroom Classic Catalogue Version?

    1. Probably a stupid question! I'm running LC 13.5 but the catalogue is v13-3 Should the catalogue be v13-5 also? 2. Since upgrading to 13.5 my library seems to be frequently highly pixelated, yet in the develop window all images are fine. Any suggestions what might be causing this?
