CLASS OVERVIEW
It’s not the best way to start a relationship. The complicated part of Lightroom messes with your mind just as you’re getting to know each other. Harsh words get thrown around – “Unintuitive”. “Confusing”. “Booby-trapped”. Ouch. You make a new catalog, then another, but the situation just gets worse. What’s up with all these question marks and exclamation points? Where did my images go? What am I doing wrong? Never fear – Go Ask Erin is here. Let’s take a look at all the ways to troubleshoot and save a f*ed-up catalog, whether your goal is to re-connect with the one you have, or to start over from scratch. You’ll feel clean when you’re done, I promise.
