• Created a new catalog in Lightroom 3 and all my files/folders are "gone".

  Of course, I'm pretty new with Lightroom, but I am quite at a loss to explain what happened.  I wanted to create a new catalog to move files in.  I went to file > new catalog, and then "create a folder with the new catalog" dialog box, I typed in my new name and press "Save".  Boom.  Lightroom closed right.  When I opened upward, all my folders and catologs disappeared.  Nothing is displayed in the navigation section of the left side, other than securities, "Catalogs", "Files", "Collections", etc and they are empty.  In 'My Computer' all the files are still there with the DNG files in place, but LR will not show them to me.  Can someone please explain to me why I can access is no longer my catalogs?  I hope it is something simple that I just keep overlooking...

  If Lightroom shuts down accidentally (computer crash, Lightroom crash, power failure) a .lock file is usually left. There are good reasons why the database creates this locking file, which I won't get in, but basically impossible to open your file catalog again until the .lock file is deleted from the hard drive.

  Recommended... some people write metadata in files, others do not. It certainly isn't a necessary step. I think that the main advantage to do this, if you want to share photos with other users of Adobe products that can read the changes (LR, PS, bridge or PSE); or if you want to share other metadata (keywrods, legends, location, etc.) in the file with other people or other applications that can read these other metadata. There is therefore, no recommended way to go, there is only the way that fits your needs. The main tool to protect you against the loss of data is the Catalog backup, as there are a few things in the catalog that are never written in the metadata.

  If you want to use as your first photographic application, Lightroom I advice to look at some of the many videos on Lightroom that are available online. I would also advise against Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski, as (according to me), their opinion is often off of the brand or simply bad advice.

• I did a major photo cleaning in the Mac Finder, and now have a lot of photos not coupled in Lightroom 6. Can I start a new catalog and import from the Finder now-cleaned? Thank you!

  What do you mean by 'photo cleaning?

  Your photos are not 'in' Lightroom, the pictures are on the hard drive and referenced by Lightroom.

  If you did that move the folders autour, simply tell LR where you move them to in the folders Panel.

  If you have moved around individual files, simply tell LR where you moved their library in the grid.

  Import a second time, it is almost always the right answer to each question. However, if you really want to do this, you can create a new catalog (menu/file/new) and do an import using the option 'Add '. Note that this will lose all your changes to previous photo.

• Export comments to Gallery online Lightroom to a new catalog

  My old LR catalog had collections that have been synchronized with Lightroom Online. My clients put comments on their pictures, including synchronized with my old catalog. I create a new catalog with some of the old pictures that have comments. I want to keep the comments on the images in my new catalogue, if possible.

  Does anyone know if this is possible?

  Thanks advance!

  Dustin

  All comments provided by LR Web / Mobile and other services like Flickr edition are enclosed in the LR catalog, unfortunately. It is not currently sort out, other than manually by copying and pasting.  For example you could right click on the comment in the comments Panel, select copy, then paste the comment in the caption box (but the author and the date/time of the comment will be not glued).

  Not even plugins can access the comments.  Overall, the comments have the feel of an unfinished feature added for commercial purposes.

• I have the plan of photography with photoshop and Lightroom 5. I tried to open a catalog I had created it said the photographs were again for the Lightroom I. I have a Mac and downloaded Didier, thinking I would get a new update of lightroom.

  I have the plan of photography with photoshop and Lightroom 5. I tried to open a catalog I had created it said the photographs were again for the Lightroom I. I have a Mac and downloaded Didier, thinking I would get a new update of lightroom. It did not. Should I expect Lightroom cc and extra cost that would be for me?

  Please open the app creative cloud on your computer and the gpo tot app tab. If you are not able to see the Lightroom CC listed, sign out and sign in the creative cloud.

  Here is the screenshot for how you can download the application from the creative cloud

  

  Thank you

• Cannot create new catalog Lightroom 3.6

  All of a sudden, Lightroom 3.6 does not create a new catalog to me. He worked for years, but has stopped working for no reason that I can understand.  I have new catalog name in the dialog box, click on save and then Lighroom restarts but says that it does not find the new catalogue name, that I just created.  When I look in the Explorer, I see that the folder was created, but were not the catalog files.

  In addition, Lightroom is a not remember last opened catalog when it starts.  To test this, I located and opened a previous catalogue, made some changes and quit Lightroom.  When I rebooted, it reminded not of the previous catalogue, but opened another much older.  I went to Edit-> Preferences and changed the setting 'open' to 'Request' (for a catalog at the opening name) but not paste is.   So, we have developed certain anomalies here.  Can anyone help? TIA.

  Worked like a charm!  Thank you.  It's a good thing to know, and the rest of the white paper was education as well.  You're my new hero.

• 2015.7 update freezes on the new catalog

  Someone at - it issues w the new update 2015.7 and Lightroom is not able to create a new catalog?  Kill my business slowly with a beach of rotation ball.

  No problem here using Windows 7 SP1. Creates a new catalog in less than 3 seconds, once I typed in a name.

  The rotation range ball is a thing of Mac, saying that the system is busy. Look at what else starts with the OS and what is now running on your Mac.

• Operating instructions: new catalog opens library instead of develop

  Whenever I have create a new catalog, it opens in develop mode.

  This is obviously a problem, because can't drop/importing photos using the develop. Therefore, each and ever I create a new catalog, I need to manually switch to library mode.

  I can't understand why Lightroom would do that, because it seems too counterintuitive to be a planned function.

  How can I explain to Lightroom that I need to have new open catalogues in the library on the creation mode?

  It is not a big problem, but it's a gene that keeps piling up day after day.

  No way to do this automatically, but pressing G to switch to grid view in the library seems not too heavy for me.

• Synchronize a catalog on catalog of real mobile, lost in an accident, I can keep working I did it in a new catalog?

  Has been using a catalog of CRD on my external hard drive, it synced to mobile to perform work. Hard drive crashed, I always have all the pictures, but no access to this catalogue. * How to import work I did on Mobile? Put in a new catalog?

  You cannot use Lightroom Mobile to restore a catalog.

  You must restore a backup of the catalog on your external drive.

• Help!  Accidentally, I created a new catalog.  I want to restore the old.

  Help!  I use Lightroom cc on a MacBook Pro.  Accidentally, I created a new catalog.  Of course, none of my photos are in it.  I want to remove and restore my original catalogue.  I tried to go, the catalog opened files but I don't see my former name of catalog.

  Thank you

  Use the search function of your operating system to find all files on all hard disks whose name ends in. LRCAT, and double-click on each of them is to find the catalogue you want.

• installation of LR 6 - can I allow the update of catalogue of LR4 or create new catalog?

  I update LR 6 as my version 4 will not support of Nikon D750 RAW files.  Is it safe allowing the conversion of all of the LR catalog to new version or should I create new catalog for D750 files?

  Hi FletchBayPhoto,

  You must allow the upgrade of the entire catalog Lightroom 6 that it will retain all of your editing accomplished so far.

  You can take backup of your Lightroom 4 catalog in order to maintain a backup for future reference.

  Kind regards

• What is the catalog in Lightroom? is that what I imported pictures

  I'm trying to import a photo, but when I try to import Lightroom says that it is already in the catalog. I can't find a way to search the catalog for the image I'm looking for. Under Catalog in Lightroom, there is a folder called all photographs. It says I have 37 757 photos. Did somehow inadvertently import everything on my computer? Thank you.

  There used to be a great set of tutorials made by a man named George. They were the best tutorials for a novice to use Lightroom, but I can't find them more.

  Thanks JimHess. This Adobe TV link has been a great help. I would have to argue, however, that the catalogue is a compilation of all the pictures I imported in Lightroom and not only a database of all the images on my computer. And in some way I accidentally imported each image on my computer there are a all kinds of graphic images and photos in the catalog in the folder all photographs. Also I did not 37 000 photographs downloaded to my computer, but I 37 000 thumbnails in my catalog.

  In any case thanks for the link. I was looking for a tutorial of George Jardine I had looked at before, which covered the same info, but for some reason some went underground and I can not find.

  And since I am new to Lightroom and import all images without sorting them in files or setting up metadata and protocols of copyright, is possible that I could remove all the image links that are now in my catalog, so I can start over?

  Thanks again

• How can I transfer files to a new catalog?

  I use a PC, LIghtroom 6.2.1 and Windows 7.

  Here's my question: I'm trying to import into a new catalog on an external drive again, bigger.  Catalog and current photo files are on my laptop.  I'm following the instructions below, which I think I've taken correctly from web sources and a book of Lightroom:

  a.) I created a new catalog on my new external drive.

  (b) I start to Lightroom with the new catalog and go to: file | Import from another catalog

  (c.) I go to the catalog on my laptop and select it.  Lightroom is preparing to import by searching for duplicates, etc.

  (d.) he then gives me an option to import.  There is no option to select a folder or folders to import.

  e.) Lightroom matter to them all of the old catalog without folder structure.  Everything happens in a folder called "Photos".

  f.) I find myself with the 'pictures' folder containing > 10 000 images.  Develop settings, etc., seem to be coming.

  How can I do this by providing a file at a time to the new order and catalog?  As it is, all my folder structure is trashed.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thanks for any help.

  Ralph

  OK, what you want to do is to merge multiple catalogs in one.

  To maintain the folder structure as it is, you must manually copy the images to the new disk by copying the directory tree.

  To merge files without others, select the images you want to transfer in the old catalog, "export as catalog" but do not include the "negative files.

  Using the new catalogue, "the catalog import" use this catalog temp.

  To merge all records, "the catalog import" using the large original catalogue.

  After the "catalog import", you must go to the Panel of the new catalogue records and 'find missing' or 'move' the highest records so that Lightroom knows that the files are now on the new drive.
