Question

LR 5.7.1 blinks when launched.

Hi,
After updating to Ventura 13.3.1 my Lightroom 5.7.1 acts oddly at start-up - the program blinks (and ball spinning) for about 1 minute, after this period I can navigate within the library module, but if I go over to the develop module the same blinking starts again (same if I go to printing). After this blinking period I can switch between the modules without problems.
On a second volume of the same Mac (silicon), using Ventura 13.2, I have no problem at all using the program.
I have reinstalled the program, starting up a new catalogue, restarting the preferences - nothing helps.
Can any one help? (Of course - this is what to expect of an unsupported outdated program.)
Thanks
/Anders

Well I cannot, and I doubt anyone can.

Lr 5 was released in June 2013- That is 10 years ago! When software was not written to cater for new OS.

Don't you think it might be time to upgrade to the Photography Plan for compatible LrC, Lr, & Ps compatible apps?
