What happens when you leave lightroom with catalog open?
Preview

7 hours ago When Lightroom Classic is running with a catalog open, it creates a [yourcatalogname].lrcat.lock file next to the [yourcatalogname].lrcat file. This file ensures that there is no other access to the catalog in use. When you exit Lightroom Classic, the lock file is deleted automatically.

1. Create a fresh, new catalog, and try importing the trouble catalog into it.
2. If it does not work, do the same but import the trouble catalog in smaller pieces into it.

4. Final Projects Use an external hard drive network drive to move images you are done with and no longer need immediate access to.
5. Delete Images Seems simple, but this is one factor that many photographers forget to do.
6. Delete Smart Previews While smart previews may be smaller in size they can take up a lot of space.
7. Import or Catalog. The first thing that needs clarification is the term “import” into Lightroom.
8. Storage Selection. The next question is where to store the photographs.
9. Internal Storage. For most users option one will be the best option since all, or parts of a catalog can be exported as a new catalog and stored on an
10. External Storage.
