Hello Tanuj,

I'm having the same corrupt catalog error in the newest Lightroom Classic CC edition- I need the work I've lost for my job, and it's too recent for the latest backup. Is there anything I can do?

    Hi Maureenm,

    Could you please let me know what is the exact version of Lightroom Classic CC installed on your computer ( go to Help>About Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC).

    Which OS are you working on Windows or mac?
    Also, what is the exact error that you get when opening the catalog in Lightroom?Try creating a new catalog and import the catalog which you are not able to open in Lightroom to see if it works or not.

    Thanks
    Tanuj Sandal

    Hi,

    I am also having a similar problem.

    I am using Mac OS High Sierra ver 10.13.1 and Lightroom classic cc 7.0.1 I appear to have lost all my catalogues from Lightroom when I try to use the backup files it is telling me all my catalogues are corrupt and cannot be used or backed up until repaired when I click repair catalogue I get a message telling me it cannot be repaired.

    please help me I can’t believe I have lost all my pictures!
