Catalog corrupt- Any way to repair it?
My LR CC catalog is corrupt and I have no idea how to replace it. I'm using a Macbook Pro (OS Ventura 13.4) and LR version 14.3.
I was transferring photos from an external hard drive back onto the internal hard drive, but LR crashed as there was not enough space on the internal SSD. I had to force quit LR as nothing was responding. Then, when I deleted items off the SSD and tried to open the LR catalog again, it gave me these messages:
**The Lightroom catalog "Lightroom Catalog-v130-3" is corrupt and cannot be used or backed up until it is repaired.**. Then when I clicked on "Repair Catalog" another message appeared that read:
*Lightroom encoutered problems reading or writing from the disk when attempting to repair (the catalog).** I tested the integrity of the catalog, but it immediately returned saying there was an error. It did not provide any suggestions on how to repair it.
I took these steps:
1. I used the disk utility function, but all was working well as far as I could tell.
2. Opened a backup catalog (a year old), which opened but mulitple photos were missing for some reason. If I need to rever to it I'm going to lose a lot of work, which I wolud rather avoid.
Does anyone have any ideas how to repair the corrupt catalog?
