Edits are missing

I have Lightroom Classic 14.2 installed, running on macOS Sequoia 15.1.1.

 

I wanted to open an older catalog, but Lightroom said it couldn't open it without upgrading. The original catalog was version 13.

 

After the upgrade and opening the catalog, all the images were there, but every single one was in its default state—every setting and edit was gone in all folders.

 

I kept the original catalog; this one is just a copy.

What can I do?

Yes, I came to the same conclusion... Now I just need to figure out how to install the old version. 🙂

Thanks

Did you look in the History Panel of the Develop Module? Did it show the edits there, or were the edits missing there as well?

The History panel only shows the original import date of the pictures.

So the only way to get to the bottom of this is to uninstall LrC 14.2, reinstall LrC 13.something, and then open the LrC 13 version of this catalog, and see if the edits are there, or not.
