Everything went okay, but I didn’t get the message to update catalogs. I just upgraded to LR5 from the LR5 Beta Version. When you install Lightroom 5, all of your presets (Develop module, metadata, print, etc…) will all get moved over to Lightroom 5 automatically.
Will my presets carry over to Lightroom 5?Ī. You’ll just need your serial number to active it.
And if you ever wipe your computer or install Lightroom 5 on a new computer, you can just install Lightroom 5 from scratch without installing the earlier version first. Again, once you’re settled and up and running with LR5, you can uninstall Lightroom 4 (or whatever earlier version you were using) and everything will still work fine. Can I remove Lightroom 4 from my computer?Ī. Lightroom 5 won’t look for it and if you’re not using Lightroom 4 anymore then you don’t need the older catalogs. Yes, when you’re all settled with Lightroom 5 you can delete your old Lightroom 4 catalog. Can I delete my old Lightroom 4 catalog?Ī. It’ll make a copy of the catalog and upgrade it for Lightroom 5, while leaving the old Lightroom 4 catalog alone. Lightroom 5 will do the same thing it does the first time you launch it. If you use multiple catalogs (which I don’t think you should btw…), you can upgrade them by going to the top menu and choosing File > Open Catalog (or Open Recent). Lightroom 5 will upgrade your default catalog (the one that opens by default when you launch Lightroom). When I installed Lightroom 5, it just upgraded my default catalog. Personally, I didn’t back anything up before installing LR5, but hey, that’s just me 😉 The Official Lame Disclaimer: Whenever you install new software or upgrades EVERY software maker suggests you back up your computer and files. Your new Lightroom 4 catalog can life side-by-side along with your LR 5 catalog and nothing has to change until you’re ready to delete the old stuff. It actually makes a copy of the catalog and doesn’t modify or change your existing Lightroom 4 catalog. When you first install and launch Lightroom 5, you should get a message telling you that you need to upgrade your previous Lightroom catalog. What happens to my old Lightroom catalog?Ī. As long as you own a previous version of Lightroom the upgrade costs $79.
The Lightroom 5 upgrade will work for any version of Lightroom (1 thru 4). Can I upgrade from Lightroom version 3 (or 2 or even 1)?Ī. So I wanted to write a quick post to answer some of the most common questions about upgrading. I’ve seen a bunch of questions about the release of Lightroom 5 and what it means to existing Lightroom users.
