Question

LR edits disappeared

I have been using LR since it was invented and this has never happened to me.  I made some edits to images in LR and closed LR at the end of the day. I happened to backup the catalog that evening.  When I came back to those images all of the edits were gone.  I thought I was crazy so I opened up the backup catalog and they were all there.  I switched the catalogs out but I'm afraid it will happen again.  Has this happened to anyone?

Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5

LR 9.3

I am having the exact same problem. Sometimes it happens right after I've edited a batch of images. It is very frusterating. I suspect this is a bug in the most recent update as it has only been happening for me since then,

It has only happened to me since the update as well.  I hope Adobe folks chime in.

It sounds like you are using Lightroom Classic, not Lightroom. Can you confirm which Lightroom you are using?

If it's Classic, you probably opened a different catalog then the one you originally did the edit in.

I am using Lightroom Classic CC.  

Because this was so strange, I triple checked that I was opening the correct catalog, AND the backup for that catalog contained the edits.
