I have been using LrC since 2011 and have never had a single issue. I set up my travel catalogue on the laptop as I have been doing for years. New catalogue as usual and I don't have access to my previous RAW files by design. It makes me get out and shoot. I bring a few hundred of processed Jpegs in case I want to reference something.

I was trying to create a preset where I export and re-import as a TIFF to apply 3rd party app sharpening if needed. (Topaz or ON1 Tack Sharp). Super Resolution as well. I've done this before and it worked but this time LrC froze. I had to force quit and when I reopened it lost the files. No indicator to find missing files or anything else. It was from my first day and only had 90 files so I could have started over.

Since I have never done this before asked at the Lightroom Queen's site for some guidance. Just unzip the backup file and replace the .lrcat and .lrcat-data files in the original folder. Worked like a charm. The desk I'm working on is a little high and I think the palm of one hand was pressing on the scroll pad or a key.

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
