I closed LR6 a day or so ago (just to periodically let it backup & clean, etc.). Today, when I tried to open LR6 I got the catalog not found error for some reason. I am using an iMac
I know not to move/delete/eff with the catalog and did not do so (myself). Nor is it in the trash. (I did try to use Google cloud to backup the computer but it was a miserable failure so I stopped... perhaps Google deleted my catalog??). I always let LR backup my catalog when I exit the program.
There is a zip file from about 2 days ago in the Lightroom/Backups sub dir. I can select that or I can look around in Time Machine (Apple's local backup software).
I don't recall exactly what I may have done in the last few days in LR, and would prefer not to lose track of any files and not lose any edits I've done either.
Thanks for the best idea on what to do...
