 I edit first in the newest version of LrC then save as JPEG to a folder. I then import that folder into a super old version of Lr 4 to finish my edits. Don't come at me. It's what I do! All my presets and brushes are in there and what I'm comfortable with. I updated my Mac and now this is what I get when I try to import. It then says there are no images found to import. Help!!!!!

    From which version is the screenshot, version 15.1 or 4?

    The reason for this issue can be a defective monitor profile.

    See here: How do I change my monitor profile to check whether it’s corrupted? | The Lightroom Queen 

    Which version of MacOS you have installed. another reason can be that Lightroom 4 isn't compatible with newer MacOs versions.

     

    What has been changed on your system before the error occur?

    As I understand it: What's the reason to first make edits in Lr15 and then further edits in Lr4? 

    What are these edits that can't be made in the current version?

    I don't see the point.
