Hello

 

I have the problem that once, I have imported a bunch of fotos and edited them, and I imported new fotos, the old ones are gone. 

 

How can I find old fotos that are in the cataloge, and how can I show them in the panel/bar at the bottom for editing etc?

To add to DJs comment, when you add new photos, be sure to provide a unique keyword to all of the images (for example: "Yosemite," or "Aunt Maude's Birthday" and you can then quickly and easily find them. Alternatively you can create a new folder for each import. Or, you can do some sort of combination of the two. 

 

All of your images are logged in your catalog, it's how you prepare and organize them is how you find them.

They're not gone. Click on "All Photographs", it's under "Catalog".

 

 

Please spend some time learning the basics of how Lightroom Classic works. A free beginner's e-book about using Lightroom Classic is here, and it's free (in case I didn't mention that), costs you nothing, and it is loaded with helpful information. And it's free.

What program are you using? You haven't said. Please give us the program name and the program version NUMBER. We need the version NUMBER and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date".
