Lightroom will not open...

I transferred a few years of photos on an external drive to make room for new photos. Now my Lightroom does not open. I shot a wedding two weeks ago and I wish I could work in LR, so I can give the bride a little peek at what she has in a hurry when I'm done dealing with his wedding photos. It's my first wedding shoot and I really want to impress.

Whenever I try to open my Lightroom, a dialog box appears that says:

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom-select catalogue

Select a recent catalog to open.

It gives me the option to choose a different cataloge or to create a new catalog, but when I try a window appears sayng that adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working. Close the program.

I don't know what to do. Can someone please advise?

Thank you...

It is possible that you moved the catalog when you have transferred your pictures on the external drive. Or you moved it by other means.

Messages that you receive are an indication that LR does not find the catalogue with what he used to work.

You have to find the catalog that LR has worked with when it finally opened.

The catalog is a file with the ending <.lrcat>.

See here, where he is normally under different OS: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84313.html

When you find this file, double-click it and LR should open with her.

  • Lightroom will not open after several tries

    I'm unable to open Lightroom and get the following message appears each time:

    "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the previous cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts. »

    It does not solve the next time and I'm unable to open Lightroom. Help, please!

    Rename your .lrdata file. This will force Lightroom to create a new cache file and Lightroom should do it again for you. After you have things running again, you can delete the folder you are renaming.

  • Why 5 Lightroom will not open the files of my Lumix dmc of the G7.

    I have a number of digital cameras. However I just added Panasonic DMC G7 to my kit.

    I use Lightroom 5 and it is updated but it does not open the files from this camera. Help...

    Unfortunately, your camera model is too new to be supported in LR5.

    Upgrade to LR6 or use the free DNG Converter to continue using the LR5

  • Lightroom will not open Photoshop

    I have LR and PS CC 2015 and just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10. Before the upgrade, everything worked to the book.

    Especially having made an edit in LR I could use LR options to open the photo as a smart object in PS, edit in PS or use one of the other options on the menu.

    Now when I try to do this I first wonder if I will allow HP to make changes to my computer (the only option is okay) and then I get another message that "PS CC 2015 cannot be started. (It may or may not be significant that the PS icon on my desktop now has a small shield he had not before the upgrade!)

    However if I use LR option to change "a copy without LR adjustments" after the request to allow HP to make changes to the computer, the photo will open in PS.

    I did a complete removal reinstall LR and PS according to the instructions from Adobe, but get the same result.

    I also have the bridge CC2015 and if I get a picture and double click it to launch PS I get the message about changing of the computer but then agreeing PS open as it did before the upgrade.

    I should also add that if I try to open PS directly (without going through the LR) I always get the message about the HP want to make changes to my computer again, when I am right, the PS opens and seems to work as it should.

    Summary: it seems to me having won two problems with the upgrade; (1) the message about changes to my PC and. (2) LR edits will not transfer Photoshop for further editing.

    Can anyone help?

    FWG salvation,

    The cause of these two questions is that Photoshop is defined for every moment of running as an administrator.

    Suggest you follow the steps below:

    • Quit Photoshop
    • Right-click on the Photoshop icon, then choose Properties
    • Go to the Compatibility tab > select "Change settings for all users" > uncheck "run this program as an administrator > click apply and then click OK."
    • Then, follow the steps in your workflow, and I think it would work very well.

    Kind regards

  • Why lightroom will not open my raw files (NEF)? I shoot with a Nikon d5500 has been added.

    I just did a photoshoot and lightroom tells me that my files are not supported by lightroom. He said that lightroom is up-to-date. I have a subscription to the cc can't use lightroom. Please tell me that there is an easy solution

    There is an update of Lightroom since the d5500 has been added has been released. I suspect will add it to the next update or upgrade. In the meantime, you can use the DNG 8.8 converter to create negative digital copies that can be opened with the current versions of Lightroom.

  • 6 Lightroom will not open on Mac 10.9.5.  I have the standalone program, no CC.

    Lightroom worked well yesterday.  I had a backup problem when I closed the program.  He said that I had a problem with space.  This morning I emptied my trash.  I just get the spinning wheel when I try to open Lighroom. Help!

    I think you will find that it is a problem of OS if you need to find a smart Apple technician who can change the association.

    Or maybe you could go back with Time Machine if use you it.

  • Lightroom will not open Win, computer lost power during import and a cache problem

    As I import photos into Lightroom, we lost the power. Opening of Lightroom, the program advises it is unable to find the conscientious cache and must stop. I tried to recover by reinstalling, but I get the same message. Should I remove and try to reinstall?

    Delete the cache of your preview. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA (but not Smart Previews.LRDATA). Delete this folder. Do not remove anything else.

  • 3.6 Lightroom will not open previous catalog

    Just upgraded to 3.6 and using Windows Vista 64-bit.

    When I go to open a new catalog, I keep getting invited to save the catalog eventhough the duration chosen between UPS back-ups has not elapsed.  He just always prompts me to create a backup whenever I go out the catalog or the RL.

    Displaying catalog and catalog length B and the output, when I start LR once again, it opens with catalog A instead of B.  I double-checked the settings and LR is ready to open the previous catalog, but it's not to do so.

    I would try to delete my preferences file and then to open LR or returning them. This website will tell you where to find the file.
