    Better gamma/IQ in LR after windows reinstall

    So this is a weird one and over the years it has been a headscratcher. But it seems consistent. My renderering in LR/ACR becomes worse after a period of time. Since it seems to happen gradually and subtle I am not sure what is causing this. To describe what I am experienceing is a bit difficult...

    Catalog Corrupted During Upgrade to v11

    First, let me get it out of the way that I know I am an idiot because I didn't back up. In my defense, I doubt that would change my situation. In upgrading to version 11, I never even stopped to consider that Lightroom did the same thing to me when I went from v9 to v10. At that point, I...

    Lightroom 10 corrupts catalog in conversion

    I upgraded on Windows 10 to the latest LR Classic, v. 10, and my new catalog works just fine. My husband did the same thing, and when he went to open the new catalog (I tell him to always open it from its location the first time after installing an upgrade), he is told that his new catalog is...

    Recently Corrupted Catalog

    Hi all! I have used LR for many years, usually on a daily basis. Some professional work, but also a lot for just personal use. I maintain it well, have it set to remind me about optimise/back-up every shut down, which I do probably once a week or so. A couple of days ago it suddenly crashed...

    LR 8.4 Catalog corrupted?

    Can anyone suggest a fix? I opened LR yesterday and discovered that while my folders are organized by year and date, files are now seemingly all over the place. What got my attention was the 2019 / 08 folder was gone, missing! It was there the night before... now gone. But if I search in the...

    LR--Missing back up dialog box on quit

    I recently created a new LR cataloge. Unlike my two other catalogues, when I quit this one I do not get the usual "Back Up Catalog" dialogue box. Instead the catalogue just quits (without creating a back up anywhere on my computer), despite having set the back up option to "Every time...
