![]() I recently opened an old Lightroom Catalog on my laptop. Now what? How do I get all my folders/presets/keywords etc into a new catalog? None of which are giving me my previous folders/collections/presets. The catalog I upgraded last week is now getting the menu that the catalog needs to be upgraded!! I don’t know what to do at this point. Even trying to open a backup file requires and upgraded catalog…which no longer works. The files are still on the hard drives, but now what? All my backup files are from 2015 and earlier…I know that I have backed up several times in the last month. Suddenly the same issue appears…upgrade catalog. I tried opening the catalog on my SSD travel drive. No question mark, no nothing, no pictures, no indication of previous imports. I did that and now NONE of my folders/photos show up in that catalog. I got the message that I needed to upgrade the catalog (main one). I was going to import the folder from my trip into my main catalog. I plugged that one into my desktop computer as well as the external hard drive I use to keep all my photos and the main catalog. 2 weeks ago I came back from a trip where I used my travel external SSD drive and where my catalog worked fine. I have NEVER been asked to upgrade a catalog over the many years I have used Lightroom. I am having a serious issue with Lightroom and upgrading my catalog. I checked the Camera Raw version (it was the latest) and whether my camera is supported (it is), still nothing.Īny other ideas how I could fix my import problem? After that I installed Lightroom from scratch.ĥ. Then I uninstalled Lightroom and used the Creative Cloud Cleaner. On one of the forums I found that deleting /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Lightroom/9.2/Debug Database.txtsometimes helps. Then I also granted Full Disk access to Creative Cloud.ģ. In the Preferences (Security and Privacy) I checked that Lightroom has all permissions under Files and Folders + Accessibility. I contacted the support, but in the middle of our talk the support agent disappeared for an hour and honestly all his ‘solutions’ were useless.ġ. It doesn’t see images on the card, it doesn’t see images anywhere on my mac. After upgrade the import feature stopped working. I upgraded Lightroom to 9.2 (my previous version was 8.4.1 and it worked perfectly). ![]() ![]() Originally posted 20 October 2020, updated for current Lightroom Classic version, April, 2023. If you tell Lightroom to upgrade the older catalog again, then the most recently upgraded catalog changes to catalogname-2 and additional Preview files will be created (also named -2, the -v11 files are untouched). Yes, use the newer, upgraded Catalog is almost always the right answer. If you accidentally try to open the older catalog again (for example, you have it set as the default for Lightroom to open or you double-click on the old catalog), Lightroom asks you whether to open the upgraded catalog or upgrade again. ![]() Also, keep an eye on our release blogs as we update them with any major issues if they occur. The old catalog won’t include any edits you make after the upgrade, making it harder to roll back, so we recommend you do some testing after the upgrade to make sure all looks good. So should anything go wrong during the upgrade, or you need to roll back to the previous version (currently 11.5), you can use the previous catalog. The old catalog is left untouched.Īlthough a warning is displayed The upgraded catalog will not be compatible with previous versions of Lightroom Classic, the earlier catalog is retained. The upgrade uses the existing Preview files and Sync data file and renames them to match the upgraded catalog name. ![]() The objective is to make it easier to see which is the latest catalog. If it was an older version, the name will default to the old catalog name with -v12 added. If the old catalog was the previous version (v11) then this will be replaced with v12. Now it allows you to change the catalog name. Previous to version 10, it added -2 to the new catalog name. It takes a copy of your current catalog and upgrades it. Lightroom doesn’t actually change the catalog you’ve been using. As many of us have our CC App set to automatically upgrade when a new version is released, this may be a bit of a shock, especially as the dialog says it’s not compatible with previous versions. Lightroom asks permission to upgrade your catalog when you first launch it after the new release has been installed. Sometimes database changes need to be made in the catalog to enable new features or to improve performance. When you first launch Lightroom after a major update, such as the October 2022 update to 12.0, it asks your permission to upgrade your catalog – but why? Is it safe? What does it actually do? ![]()
