• Problems since update: slow catalog and crash

  I have recently updated to the latest version of LR and have had problems with the fact that it is slow and crash since then. I recently posted that I had some insights on these imports, but I solved that by optimizing the catalog. This morning I sat down to work, and my catalog has been extremely slow. I restarted my computer several times but LR was still unusable. Then it crashed and said the catalog was corrupted and needed repair. After 30 minutes, I was told repair was not possible. I backup every night, so I copied the backup of my EXHD, and open instead. It was slow but functional. I optimized it and when he finished it is still slow. Now, it crashes after a few minutes of being open and now it will not open at all. It is a vital catalog and the only backup I have is that I already tried to work from. Help!

  Have you tried to disable the GPU in LR / Edit / Prefs / Performance - uncheck CPU chart use

• Lightroom 4.4 & MacOSX Mavericks 10.9.4 unable to repair corrupted catalog

  So as the title suggests, I have a problem fix my corrupted catalog. Not sure that in the slightest how the catalog corrupted itself. Am that I just shit out of luck trying to recover my photos! I run a photography business, and it's not good. I backup whenever I go out of Lightroom, I again have my computers and then take backups of my bank vault.

  I started a new catalog and then tried to import a previous catalogue and he says it's in use by another computer.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Well, if you can open a recent backup of your catalog file, and you do not receive this message, then I would say that the backup is not damaged and you need to use.

• I have two catalogs - Lightroom called an and a single called Lighroom 5, both in the same folder (Mac). I used 5, but now use LR CC. Just the catalof error. Now, he wants to make me choose one to use. Which one? And then I delete the other?

  I used LR 5 for a year or so, but recently spent to LR CC has been since then problems. Earlier got the dreaded corrupt CC catalog error and had to leave the app. When I restarted I got a dialog box showing two catalogs in the same folder. One is called simply Lightroom and Lightroom 5. The dialog box wants me to choose an action. I suppose that the LR 5 is older, but do not want to make things worse. And, once I choose the right, how safely get rid of the bad? Thank you.

  Navigate to the folder that contains your catalogs and look at the dates. The one with the most recent date would be the one you use. However, if it is damaged, it will be difficult to recover. It would be better to replace it with your latest backup. You can double-click the file itself catalog, Lightroom will start and try to open this catalog. But if it is corrupt, there are not many things you can do.

• Desparate help needed - Lightroom 3 catalog does not open in Lightroom and will not repair.  Any help is appreciated at least get something or open

  I worked yesterday as she as usual and then closed lightroom and could no longer open catalog 3.  I have no recent back upward and am desperate to see how I can open it.  Thank you.

  I get this error several times when I use Lightroom. "Lightroom encountered and error while reading its preview cache and needs to stop smoking" tells me to remove the preview folder.

  Simply remove the Previews.LRDATA folder that bears the name in the catalog file, you are trying to open.

• I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another.

  I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another. I tried to use the copy and paste, but when I try to open the catalog on my laptop lightrooom cannot find the photos because he is always looking for them on the old hard drive. How can I get lightroom to get on the new drive? When I try to manually connect the photos they disappear just from any folder, they are in Lightroom.

  Hi Mike Nature.

  Greetings.

  As you have already moved the catalog and the files on the hard disk up, visit this link on how to find missing images/files

  • https://helpx.Adobe.com/Lightroom/help/locate-missing-photos.html

  I suggest you look for missing files.

  The images do not disappear, but after the relining, they should be available under the new hard drive.

  I have a PC with Lightroom 6 just installed. At the opening, it says Lightroom - opening catalog: catalog Lightroom - 2.Ircat, then a Popup comes up saying Failed Assertion and the program closes. I checked to make sure that the photos folder is under the directory of the user and the registry redirects to the right/directory of the user file. The catalogues are stored in a subdirectory of Lightroom in the photos subdirectory. You need to resolve without losing all the catalogs.

  Could you please try to uninstall and reinstall Lightroom once on the computer

• Adding SSD to my Mac Pro, where should I put Lightroom Catalog and previews?

  About to add a SSD 512 blade to my old Mac Pro 2009.

  I'll put all my apps on it for the quick start, but to move my user files to a drive of spinning to keep the SSD as lean as possible for maximum speed. Guess I can put the LR catalog and previews on the SSD? Can I keep in the users > pictures > Lightroom folder structure or I need to do something different? Everything I need to know to make sure I'm harnessing the power of the 512GB SSD with Lightroom and Photoshop?

  Thank you!!

  Have you tried to disable the GPU acceleration to see if that helps?

• Lightroom 5 catalog will work in lightroom 6 and vice versa?

  Lightroom 5 catalog will work in lightroom 6 and vice versa?

  I know how to synchronize catalogs, but I want to upgrade and not lose my changes

  Sorry, no. You can update your catalog to work with LR6, LR5 but LR5 cannot read a catalog LR6.

• Delete the catalog and recording files in Lightroom?

  I want to find the duplicate image files and delete all but one of my Lightroom Catalog AND SINCE THE DISC itself.

  can anyone recommend a method to achieve this more effectively?

  I need to see the images side by side in the overview before choosing what to mix and that should be kept because some files have the same file name but a different picture.  This is a result of sloppy organization and also pictures come off several cameras with similar naming sequences.

  the Lightroom Catalog I'm in is 60 000 + images with LOTS of dupes.

  Sorry for the noob question, but in another post I found the answer is simple.  I look at all THE PHOTOGRAPHS in the catalog.  Then, select a set of individual files which must be provided to screw up.  I can either hit the button DELETE (DELETE in the EDITION MENU is not active) or don key CONTROLS (on a Mac) and select REMOVE.  A choice is given to take on the image of the catalog or what I want, it's DELETE DISK IMAGE.  I have a lot of files to go through but it makes my job a LOT easier.  Thank you ADOBE!
