LR will not open

Hi...I cannot open LR Classic. I have the following message on my screen:

Lightroom - Opening Catalog: DSCF0343.RAF

I have tried to:

- remove the associated "lock" file

- uninstall LR Classic

Neither can be performed.

Any advice would be appreciated.

DSCF0343.RAF is a photo file, not a catalog. You cannot open a photo file with Lightroom Classic, you can only open catalogs with LrC.

Please state clearly, step-by-step, the steps that produce this error. Are you trying to drag and drop the file DSCF0343.RAF onto the LrC icon?

Hi this does not work...see attached pic

Close Lr.

Reopen while holding the Alt key - this will allow you to choose a catalogue.

Choose an appropriate catalogue.
