Hello everyone!
I am new to this site and am here because as you can see from the title, I have a big problem.
I don't even know where to start...The message I was/am receiving is " The Lightroom Catalog is corrupt and cannot be used or backed up until it is repaired" I tried repairing, nothing happens.
Right now where I am at is someone restored the catalog and most everything was lost except for a few collections. It shows there are x amount of images in the collection but they are just empty boxes, I'm assuming not attached to the original file...? These collections are done and I was just waiting to export them so I would love nothing more than to not lose all that work.
From what I've read this would be no big deal had I backed up my Catalogs. Trust me, I have learned my lesson because I don't have a backup and I now see why that would have been a great idea. When it comes to Lightroom, I know how to edit a photo and that's where my knowledge ends. I'm embarrassed with myself that this happened and I know going forward I am going to do things differently so this doesn't happen again. In the meantime, I'm desperate for help. I really have no idea what I'm doing and would appreciate any help you can offer.
