Open a Lightroom 3 catalog in Lightroom 5

I am trying to open a Lightroom 3 to 5 Lightroom Catalog.  I get an error that says the catalog is not writable and cannot be opened.  Pouvez Lightroom 5 open a Lightroom 3 catalog?

OK, think about it.  Instead of catalog open (under the file menu), I used import them from another catalog, and he went through the steps you described.  Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it!

    It is a catalog that you created on your computer, or coming from another computer?

    If it is one that has been created on your computer, you can search your computer to see if you have two different versions of Lightroom installed. If so, then you want to open the new version of Lightroom by double-clicking its icon, and then you should be able to open the catalog.

    can I make a lightroom catalog 6 compatible to open in lightroom 5?

    Hey I really didn't want to start any trouble. I had just a simple question. My hard drive broke and I got my lightroom erased. I thought I had lightroom 6 so I downloaded and created a catalogue and started to edit. When I found the sleeve to my serial number I realized that I had lightroom 5. No big deal because I didn't change this number. Can I just change my lightroom 5. No worries, everyone thought of her!

  • error. Cannot open the Lightroom Catalog

    Hello, I receive the error message: "the called Lightroom Catalog catalog Lightroom 5 cannot open another application already has its opening" at the opening of Lightroom. There is no other application don't use it. There is one file available, not back to the top I was download a catalog of 5.3 TB over the past 4 days and has not stopped. RAW files are sitting on a separate hard drive to the laptop where the Lightroom Catalog is. I can't access this catalog now. I had a crash before it happens... someone can help here?

    You must go to the folder where your catalog and look for a file with .lock extension. This file must be deleted, and then you can again use your catalog. Sometimes, if Lightroom closes abnormally, the lock file is not removed. And that's what causes this error message.

  • error in money at the opening of lightroom

    Hi all

    I just bought the package of photoshop lightroom, while photoshop works well, whenever I try to open the lightroom app, with what it opens

    a message that says that there is an error when reading the money. When I click on the button 'ok' - the only option that offers itself, all the

    program is stopped. I work with a windows 7, 68.

    Please and thank you help me out at all.

    Using Windows Explorer, open the folder that contains your catalog. By default, it is Pictures\Lightroom, and unless you have moved your catalog intentionally, this is where it will be. There will be a file there with the .lrdata extension. This complete package should be removed. Then Lightroom should begin, and it will generate a new folder.

  • Error message when opening up Lightroom 4

    Hi, met with an error message when opening 4 Lightroom using Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.

    The message says - error in reading the preview cache.

    Suggests may on reopening but no difficulty! Any help appreciated as impossible to use Lightroom!

    Tom

    You can try to regenerate previews.

    Your preview Cache is stored in the same folder as your catalog and has a name: [name of your catalog] Previews.LRDATA

    With Lightroom closed, rename this folder to a different name and strength of Lightroom to rebuild your previews when it opened. .

    I recently acquired a Nikon D750 but am unable to open RAW files in Photoshop CC 2015 on my PC. They will open in Lightroom.

    Have you downloaded the photos using the Nikon software? It is known that will corrupt files, so that the PS can not open them. This test by shooting an image and opening directly from the map, or your operating system allows to transfer the image.

  • How to import all my files from the old and the new opening of lightroom?

    How can I import all my old files opening in Lightroom and then start importing new profiles preferentially to Lightroom on an iMac?

    Thank you

    Sorry for the stupid question.

    Use the Aperture plugin library import in Lightroom. You can import your raw originals and create previews of size of the adjusted versions at the same time. There is no need to export the opening and import in Lightroom if you use the plugin.

  • I downloaded and installed the camera Raw 8.8 and ORF files that will always open in Lightroom 5.7.

    I downloaded and installed the camera Raw 8.8 and ORF files that will always open in Lightroom 5.7.  The files were made using the new Olympus E - M5 II, who is on the list of supported devices.  When I run Lightroom and check the on the screen, it says it's Lightroom version 5.7, but Camera Raw 8.7 despite my having upgraded to 8.8.  I use a MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.5 Please advise on how to import and use ORF files in Lightroom.

    The files were made using the new Olympus E - M5 II, who is on the list of supported devices.

    Yes, this camera is supported by Camera Raw 8.8.

    Camera Raw plugin | Supported devices

    However, the required 'Version of Lightroom Minimum' column is empty. Lightroom does not yet support it.

    Like the so-called Warunicorn, Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw using Photoshop plugin. It uses its own Raw conversion engine so you have to wait for an update of Lightroom separate for this camera edit Raw files in Lightroom. Or use the DNG Converter and work with the DNG in Lightroom.
