Upgrade to Lightroom Classic 15.0.1. : problems with new catalog
Today I was informed that my Adobe Photography (20GB) monthly subscription will increase in price significantly at the next annivesary, and that I could maintain the same price by concerting to an annual subscription. I did that successfully. But when I looked at the available apps in the new subscription I found that it only contained Lightroom, the web-based app. Checking my Lightroom Classic installation I found that it was working correctly, so far at least, but that there was a new update Lightroom Classic 15.0.1. There was no warning that that this update would create a new catalogue which is not compatible with previous catalogues. I successfully updated the Classic software to version 15.0.1. but then learned that this new catalog had been created and the old catalogs were contained in a zip file. I decided to update the catalog, as I could not see - or understand - what was the alternative.
I can now no longer "find" my photographs in Lightroom Classic, nearly all the thumbnails have the dreaded ! in the upper right hand corner.
What do I need to do to "find" my historic photographs? Does it involve expanding the zip files of the old catalogs to set up a second catalog to apply to these old photographs?
I have not had this problem in the past when adopting a new catalogue.
And help will be gratefully received...
