I have a Mac and Lightroom 5. I was working on some files when inadvertently I did something to cause all my photos to disappear from lightroom. If I re - import how to retrieve the catalog?

I organized some files and noticed that a progress bar appears at the top to left that moved slowly from left to right. A message appeared to say something like "2 ongoing operations". When he finished all my photos had disappeared from lightroom.

Lightroom to backup every week and I have disc full back ups on external drives. When I re - import pictures I had already worked on them are now non-edited. What is the best way to restore my edits on the 10,000 photos that disappeared?

Basic rule: re - import is most of the time - or even never - a good idea

  • Quit LR
  • Back up your current catalog (*.lrcat)
  • Open the last zip of the backup folder and replace the current catalog.
  • Start LR
