I plan to subscribe to CC photography and I want to know if I can use my current catalog with all of my current pictures cataloged or will I need a new one for CC LM app. If I use a new one and cancel in the future what happens to that catalog? Can it be used with my old retail version of LR? I would hate to detroy all of my catalog work.

Hi zcarvic,

Lightroom 5 will atuomatically prompt you to upgrade your old catalog when you first launch it.

In case it won't then you can open it in Lightroom 5 via File>Open Catalog.

If you use new catalog then ol one will remain intact and you can use it with old version of Lightroom any time.

Hope this helps.

Please let me know if you have any other question.

Regards,

Sumit Singh
