6 Lightroom purchase request and old catalog compatibility
I downloaded the demo. Downloaded Photoshop, but Lightroom does not because a year ago, I had a try of Lightroom. Now I have one bought 5.7 Lightroom, but I want to see how Lightroom 6 works with Photoshop, which is my reason to consider a creative plan Cloud. The first obstacle was that my catalog should be upgraded, but that doesn't mean that I won't be able to use it with LR 5.7?
[Title edited for clarity... MOD]
Hi Pat,
Yes, your catalog must be upgraded to Lightroom 6, but you will still have the old 5.7 Lightroom Catalog with you to use Lightroom 5.7. As Lightroom will just create another copy of your catalogue that would be compatible with Lightroom 6.
Catalog Lightroom 6 does not work with Lightroom 5.7 as there is no backward compatibility.
Lightroom 6 works the same way with Photoshop like Lightroom 5.7.
Please check Lightroom 6 news:http://www.lynda.com/articles/new-photoshop-lightroom-cc-lightroom-6
Please let us know if it helps.

I am a current user of Lightroom 5.7 - I bought and installed 6 of Lightroom, but have not launched the program again - will be LR 6 make changes to my catalog LR 5, such that it cannot be used in LR5?
In addition, LR6 and LR CC 2015 can share the same catalog?
Lightroom 6 will require a database update are in the catalog format. When you start Lightroom 6 once you have it installed, it will prompt you to update your catalog. This will create a new copy of your catalog in the new format, leaving your Lightroom 5 intact and usable catalog if you have installed Lightroom 5. 6 of Lightroom and Lightroom CC may use the same catalog. But they may not share the same catalog as this catalogue must be installed locally on both computers. The Lightroom catalog cannot be placed on a network drive.

All,
I'm sure I don't am not the only one to ask something like that, but since I have this has messed up on my first attempt, I thought I would just post it here. I have a new Macbook Pro I used for six months. Previously, all my editing has been done on my older iMac with Lightroom 4. I've always used an external hard drive as part of my workflow, so all my RAW files are located on the external drive. Naturally, when I connect it external drive to my new Macbook Pro I can see my RAW files, and of course I can import into Lightroom 5 (I have a subscription of CC). So, how can I transfer my changes to my Lightroom 4 old iMac running for my Macbook Pro running Lightroom 5
I think it's a matter of 'library', but when I tried to transfer my library I really messed up things (thankfully I was smart enough to make a contingency plan before I attempt to move the library)
In advance, thank you for any assistance.
Marc
You want to use Lightroom 5 to open your catalog in Lightroom 4. 5 Lightroom will recognize that the catalog needs to be updated and will create a new catalog in the proper format. All the adjustments you have made using Lightroom 4 will still be intact in the new catalog, Lightroom 5. The old catalog will remain unchanged so that you can use with Lightroom 4 If you have installed on your computer.

My computer crashed two weeks ago and all software had reinstalled in another HD. The first hard drive still has all the files and are readable. Where can I find the old catalog fall back all my work?
My lightroom was great before the crash to work and I have a lot of work still pending.
You will need the catalog file and all your images. If you have also stored your images on which crashed HDD you will need to copy them as well.
The default location of the LR catalog file is in your user name folder in the folder on the ROOT of the drive users

I am a user of Picasa for a long time conversion to Lightroom. I share photos with dropbox on a MAC, a Windows computers, storing images and the catalog in dropbox. I'm able to share the LR catalog, but on the second system images can be found as a prefix system DB files have different user names. Any ideas?
At the point of Lightroom to another location for photos, follow these instructions:

Note: If the catalog is constantly being synchronized to DropBox, you will most likely follow these instructions whenever you open the catalog on another computer.

I recently downloaded the Lightroom upgrade but the old version remains the default Lightroom Application on my laptop and I can only access the new version through the Adobe icon at the top of the screen. How can I get the new version of 'replace' the old?
Try to uninstall the old version - it is not necessary. An upgrade is a product independent and fully functional.

I am a registered owner of Lightroom 6 but my old computer (PC) is dead and is seemingly irreparable... I just bought a MacPro and would like to know if it is possible to download the Mac version 6 on it without having to pay for another license.
Hi Charlay,
Yes, you can download Lightroom on your Mac computer from this link: Install Photoshop Lightroom
And you can then activate Adobe programs on two machines, you will be able to activate it without having to buy it again.
Kind regards

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.

I want to re install with a clean sheet. I have install, but my old catalog loads again. How do I delete catalog and where it is stored. I lost some of the media that came with my drive by accident so I need to re install
HI ATR
Just update you 13 windows 7 items... I sat until midnight and found the program data and ended up finding the catalog. I deleted the catalog now. and uninstalled items 13. I hope that when I reinstall it will be like new, and I can go back again. I had messed up I saw when viewing the photos in the media, it was media files and thought they shouldn't be there so I deleted them. Maybe thinking about now I get an error. Before, I made a slideshow with the media from the drive. I just started using elements 13 I used windows live previously for videos. Can you let me know also what photoshop elements or first, you use the most. Also if I import video files in why do I see them I think of thumbnails. That's where I went wrong and thinking, they shouldn't be here. I brought a few books and trying to go through the learning process. What camera do you use? Many questions sorry. Thanks for any help.

I'll subscribe to the Adobe Creative cloud photography Plan. How can I keep (import?) and use my current catalogs, previews and caches of my current installation of Lightroom? Or will I have to start again once installed the new version of Lightroom CC?
If you are currently using Lightroom 5 then switch to the creative cloud is really simple. There are those who say that it is not necessary to move to Lightroom downloaded from the creative cloud. But I did it. I use Windows, so I used the standard uninstall process to uninstall my standalone Lightroom. Then I installed Lightroom from the creative cloud. Once the installation is complete there is an icon for Lightroom (just like the other because it's the same program) on my desk. I double clicked on the icon and Lightroom opens the same catalog I used everything I had done before was still in place. You see, the catalogue and the previews and all other files are user files generated by Lightroom on your computer. But they are not part of the Lightroom program. So removing the Lightroom program does nothing to your catalog, previews or the preview cache. It is precisely the same program. This is just a license differently.
If you use Lightroom 4 then 5 Lightroom you will find the catalog you used and invite you to allow him to create an updated copy of it that is consistent with the new database format. It is no different than the upgrade of the stand-alone version. So the short answer is that you should not lose all your work of switching.
