Thought I throw in a monochrome street photo from last weekend’s walk through Genoa’s Centro Storico. The guy thought I was a funny break in whatever conversation he was having, maybe he was phoning home? A snapshot talken with my iPhone, converted to monochrome in Lightroom Classic.
Talking about LRC, I’m having troubles with my catalogue (have I mentioned there are almost 200.000 images stored there?). After upgrading to version 13.4. I was asked also to upgrade the catalogue. Initially it worked fine, then somehow it became corrupt. It opens and closes fine, it shows the images in the library, but does not take any commands. I’ve been browsing through forums and help advice, tried everything suggested, so far without any success. The last backup works fine, so the catalogue must have taken a hit. Too bad my last backup was done beginning of June, my bad. Make sure you all do your weekly backups, that’s my learning from this. I’m not ready to give up yet on two months worth of editing…
Have a great Tuesday
Marcus

Do you use Time Machine?
While I have a separate back up system for my LR catalog and library, I have an external RAID that use for my TM that’s always connected.
Sometimes I forget about the TM backup when I’m doing searches for ‘lost’ image files.
Of course, if you keep your catalog files on an external with your library, it isn’t going to help.
Yeah, I use Time Machine, but the problem is what you described, catalogue and images are stored on a 4TB Crucial micro SSD so I easily can switch between computers. In the end it was no big deal. All images are there it is just some editing work in the catalogue that I lost and need to repeat now. Thank Goodness no major work in there…..
This photo is a wonderful catch, Marcus. Oh, dear. I only backup once a month…😬
Good luck, Marcus. What computer system are you using?
Thanks, Allan, much appreciated. MAC OS it is…
Thanks, Lois, appreciate your kind words. Back up more frequent….I will in the future. Marcus
A great photo, Marcus! I hope you didn’t lose everything, that’s a shame!
Hi John, thanks, at least I didn’t lose too much, as I had a June backup. Serves as reminder to back up more frequently. Lightroom is reminding every week, I only click it away because I’m (was) too lazy!
Yes indeed! My photos go into the cloud soon after being on my MacBook.
Great photo!
Thanks, Stephen, so much appreciated! Marcus
