    Upgraded to LR6 and lost all edited photo development work?

    Ooh, don't get me started with the latest version of LR. I just recently had to find a re-associate hundreds of images as the last two updates screwed up my libraries. The first time I upgraded from Lightroom 5 to 6, I noticed that the normal way LR upgraded the catalogue for the new version...

    Problem with 6.2.1

    Ok Johan, I'll do that when I get home. Once I know which one it is I can delete the unused ones finally.

    Problem with 6.2.1

    I have one more thing... if you have a look at the attached image/screen grab, you can see my catalogues are in a total mess and, because of this, I can't tell which catalogue is the one being used by Lightroom. Here's my idea, and will it work? If I delete all catalogues and Ircat files, but...

    Problem with 6.2.1

    Yes, the price of CPO8 is off putting for me too, I do have CPEX7 (capture one express) but it seems to be not working just now. The only saving is I get an upgrade path to CPO8 for a lower price. Even though, o can't afford it at this time.

    Problem with 6.2.1

    Hoggy, I went to try out the discussed but before that, I checked where the library folder for this year was associated and it turned that was the problem. It was looking at a folder on my MacBook and not on the one in the external hard drive. Once I redirected it to associate it with the...

    I don't think so, how do I go about that?

    Problem with 6.2.1

    I have had a good think about what to do and I have came up with an idea. I will check my backups in Lightroom and revert back to the last good one before this screwup happened. I will, before hand, save the images that were added after the update and import after the revert and that will bring...

    Problem with 6.2.1

    I am somewhat p'd off with this latest update. Not only has it lost the locations of many of my images and shows them on my hard drive (images are blank) when they are on my external hard drive. I am now having to re-associated the missing files with my external drive to get them back but, many...

    Lightroom 3/4/5/6 catalogues

    No offence taken, it just shows how messed up it can get if your not careful. I've been trying to work out which one is the latest and up to date to allow me to delete the unnecessary ones but it's taking time. Any help is welcomed.

    Lightroom 3/4/5/6 catalogues

    Ok, as you'll see by my attached images, the catalogues on each upgrade have gone 1,2,3,5 and so on... You would have thought it was easier just to upgrade the same catalogue and re-number it... and with latest one I seem to have 6,7,8,9 etc. I think what has happened there is due to me...

    Lightroom 3/4/5/6 catalogues

    Ok, thank you. It is a mess... Lightroom seems to cause problems each time it is updated, it would be help if it just used the first catalogue and upgraded it for each version without creating a new catalogue as you can see by this mess. I'll check the get info as you suggested and see if I...

    Lightroom 3/4/5/6 catalogues

    Lightroom 3/4/5/6 catalogues

    With each version of Lightroom, the new version would make a new catalogue automatically. The result is having quite a few catalogues in the images folder on my MacBook, in my Lightroom folder. Is it possible to import all the images, from all of the catalogues, into the most recent version of...

    Re-import images

    Against, apologies for the delay. When I upgraded to Lightroom 6, the Lightroom 5 library was upgraded by Lightroom 6 to work with it. Somewhere along the road, it lost images from the folders that contained them... The folder in the year 2015. The images are in the library containing all the...

    Re-import images

    Strangely when I installed LR6, it converted the LR5 catalogue for use in LR6 but I can't find one, only a LR5 catalogue.

    Re-import images

    Hello, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply but I've been extremely busy lately. No, missing image icon isn't showing on the images. It's when I try to drag them into the dated folder for when they were taken that the message says they are already there, which they aren't. When I do a search...

    Re-import images

    When I upgraded to Lightroom 6 from 5, it did its usual and screwed up some of my library images. Folders are missing images but the are in the main library. I've tried to add them into the folders but I keep getting a message saying they are already in the folder even though they are not. They...

    Safe library

    One more question: can my Lightroom library be on two external HDD's at the same time? In other words, a mirrored library saved on two external HDD's or is it better to just have the library on one external drive saved to the TimeMachine backups along with my Mac TimeMachine backup.

    Safe library

    Ah, ok. That answers my question and I now have a better idea for what I need plus I have an extra external HDD that can be used as you suggested. That you all for your help.
