Moving Back to LightRoom Classic 2019

[Jason Crane]

So I've had enough of the buggy, slow and always crashing LightRoom Classic 2020. I've installed LightRoom Classic 2019 but it will not open my 2020 catalogue. Is there a way to Backwards save my current catalogue so it will open in the older version.

By the way, I've deleted PS 2020 and installed the 2019 version and it's now running a dream on my iMac 2019.

Catalogs are not backwards compatible.

Please state the version NUMBER of your Lightroom Classic that is currently installed. Please state the version NUMBER of the Lightroom Classic you would like to go back to. There is no such thing as Lightroom Classic 2020 or Lightroom Classic 2019, there are several actual releases of Lightroom each year.

I currently run 9.2.1 and would like to migrate back to 8.4.1 as that was the last time that LR actually ran as it should do

There's no way to convert an LR catalog for an older version.
