Question

Hi, please could you help me to fix my problem? 

After last aktualization of Lightroom  I can´t find my folders. It´s all photos from last 6 months.

I went through storage location for originals in Adobe folder and all these pictures are there, but not in LR anymore. I tried to upload them again from these folders and it seems like new photos, so there are no edits.

I´m afraid I lost my work with editing. Please do you know how to fix it? Thank you so much...

Insert a Photo (using the 'landscape' icon above your post) that is a screen-clip of the Info Report- MENU: Help > System Info...

Then we might know which "Lightroom" you are using.  (Lightroom-CC is not a current name for any version).

 

If Lightroom-CLASSIC: Then a common cause for Folders not showing at all in a catalog is that you have 'opened' an old catalog. Your recent 6-months of photos are possibly referenced in another Catalog.

Thank you so much, please could you give me an advice, how to open the latest catalog? I already tried to find *.lrcat on my disc, but I opened the one I spoke about in my first question. 

Thank You

MENU: File > Open Recent...

 

The [Open Catalog...] menu opens a File Explorer window for you to search for .LRCAT files yourself.

And, Have you been making Backups of the Catalog regularly (at least one a week) ?
