My hard drive crashed right before a big deadline for me. I was using lightroom classic on that computer. I have re-download it on another computer. Is there way I can sync my images that I was editing on my old computer (completly out of service) to the lightroom on my other computer? (windows) Thanks

    The catalog is a separate file that can be accessed. What do you mean when you say that you did have it? You would have to have the catalog from before. Then you would have to link that catalog to the images. In other words the images would have to be in the same folder structure so that Lightroom could synchronize to them in the same way. Then all of your adjustments would still be in place.
