Hi,

On mac and classic LR. I went into my [I think only] catalogue and I think I opened a new smart folder by mistake and now I cant get back to original one with ALL my photos in! Help please!

You went into your (only) catalog to do something, and now you can't get back to your original catalog.

 

What did you try? What happens when you try? Is there an error message? If so, please quote the exact unedited word-for-word error message.

 

Did you try File->Open Recent?
Did you try File->Open Catalog?

Smart folders do not exist in Lightroom Classic. Perhaps you mean smart collection? Did you try clicking on 'All Photographs' in the upper left corner?
