Question

Can I go back and use my LR5 catalog after I have converted it to use LR Classic CC trial?

I want to try the new LR Classic CC to see if I like it enough to upgrade from my LR5. When I installed the trial, it asked me if I wanted to convert my current LR5 catalog. Can I convert it and still go back and use it in LR5 in case I don't want to upgrade to LR Classic CC?

Yes, the converted catalog is a copy. The original catalog file remains untouched. Your previews cache is renamed however, so you would have to rename that back, or let Lightroom 5 rebuild it.
