How do I revert to previous Lightroom Version?

[shannon28901359jlif]

The fancy May 2024 update has rendered Lightroom Classic unusable. It says my photos are missing. They aren't. They are where they were, when i imported them. The update wrecked my catelogue. Lightroom can't find it, now, and locks up, trying to find it. I want to reverse the update.

I've moved your thread from the Lightroom Ecosystem to Lightroom Classic forum.

It's possible to roll back to an earlier version: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/roll-back-update-previous/ 

And then you'd need to open your previous catalog, not the upgraded one.

But before you do that, perhaps we can help you fix the problem you're having? Start by showing us a screenshot of Lightroom's Folders panel, telling us where the catalog's stored, and which macOS version number you're using please?

Did the upgrade select the correct catalog? You might want to use Finder and see what catalogs you have. Sometimes if the preference file is corrupted, an upgrade selects the wrong catalog or even no catalog at all (new catalog)
