It's been a while since I used Lr (like a year, and prior to that, many years), and when I opened LrC, there were a number of pop-ups and prompts that I can't remember what exactly they were or what order they were in, but I know there was one about a corrupt catalog, and a pop-up asking if I wanted to sync to the current catalog or another catalog, and I can't remember which one I selected because I was confused on what either of them were and what would happen if I selected one or the other. My current lrc catalog/library is completely empty, but I still have my thousands of photos in my lr cloud. I have new photos that I just took yesterday that I want to add to lrc and eventually sync to the cloud.
1) Do I have to sync my existing photos from the cloud to lrc and therefore downloading them to my computer, before importing new photos into my currently empty lrc if I want to sync the new photos to my cloud where all my other photos are?
2) Will syncing from an almost empty lrc (compared to before) new library/catalog to the cloud remove the photos I already have in my cloud?
I hope that makes sense. I just don't want to lose my existing photos in the cloud (since they're no longer in lrc) if I sync from an essentially new library/catalog since I can't find my other one, but I still want to import/edit new photos I took.
Any help is appreciated.. I feel so lost and don't want to mess things up more.
