...what is the simplest way to get my photos back into lightroom? Presently when I open lightroom I get "Lightroom catalog was not found" and I don't know if I should click "default catalog," "quit," or "choose a different catalog." I may have several old catalogs on the hard drive.
I am using the stand alone software, Lightroom 5 on a Mac 10.7.5, Lion.
I have been reading and trying to figure it out, but the lexicon tends to confuse me, and my lightroom folder seems to be a mess with many earlier versions of catalogs. Obviously I have not been managing my files well.
