 Today, I'm going to show you how to update your Lightroom Catalog. What's up nerds? It's Monday. Did you see the Eclipse today? Yes or no? Let us know. Okay, enough of that. Today, I'm going to show you how to update your Lightroom Catalog from an old version, say Lightroom 5 or Lightroom 6, to Lightroom CC. And the reason for this is because today I received a message asking us, David Crawl writes, How can I open a Lightroom 5 Catalog in Lightroom CC? How would I do it since I just want to use Lightroom CC now and uninstall Lightroom 5? Thank you. Well, thank you, Mr. David for leaving us this message. And I think it's a really important one because not everyone is on Lightroom CC. There are still a lot of users out there using older versions like Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 6 and now are getting to that point where they want to upgrade or update and they're using or have been using an older Lightroom Catalog and now they want to update it to the newer version or they're not sure if you can update the older Catalog and use it with Lightroom CC. So this is very simple. I just want to show you what to do. So let's jump in to Lightroom and show you how to get through this. So if you look all the way here at the top, you'll notice that I am currently using Lightroom 5 Catalog right here. If you're not sure what you're using, you can always head up to Lightroom and ask it to show you about whatever you're working in. And if I open this, it's going to tell me that I'm actually working in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 version right now. So the other thing that I need to know is where is this Catalog located? So if I head under the Catalog Settings option, if you're a Mac user, you'll find this under Lightroom. If you're a PC user, you're going to find it in the Edits tab all the way down at the bottom. You'll see Catalog Settings there. So we're going to open Catalog Settings and under the Generals tab, it's going to tell you what location or the location of your Lightroom Catalog currently. So if you say show or show and explore, it'll actually take you to where that Catalog is. So with that said, I know that I'm using Lightroom 5 and I know that this Catalog is Lightroom 5 and I know where it's located. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to close both of these options. I'm going to actually just close Lightroom 5 down completely. And then what you want to do is you want to navigate to that place where that Lightroom 5 Catalog is. So for me in this example, it's on my desktop. And what I'm going to do is select the Lightroom 5 Catalog. I'm going to right-click on it and I'm going to say open with Adobe Lightroom CC. When I do this or you do this, you're going to get a message that says that you're using an older version of Lightroom and it's going to ask you, do you want to upgrade it? So I'm going to go ahead and say upgrade and Lightroom is going to do all of the work for us here. We're not going to really have to do anything. And Lightroom will then go ahead and open this Catalog. Now it's also important to note if we go to Catalog Settings and show us where this Catalog is, you're going to notice that it did in fact open your original Lightroom 5 Catalog. But what it did was it created a new upgraded Catalog version and it renamed it. So my older version was Lightroom 5 Catalog. My new version, my upgraded version is Lightroom 5 Catalog 2. So it always is going to put this number 2 extension on the end of the brand new file. So technically, if you wanted to get crazy here, I could actually close all of this stuff down. I could quit Lightroom. I could go into where my Catalogs are and I could delete this Lightroom 5 Catalog if I wanted to. The old version, not the new version. And from this point, I could also go ahead and uninstall the old Lightroom version if that was something that you wanted to do. Kind of like what David mentioned, he wanted to get rid of his Lightroom 5 Catalog. And now that his old Catalog has been upgraded to a new Catalog, he doesn't need Lightroom 5 anymore, technically. So that's how you do it. It's really simple. Basically, just take the old Catalog, open it in the new version and Lightroom will automatically upgrade your Catalog for you. But it is going to rename it. It will put it in the same location where the original file was, but it will rename it. And from there, you can use Lightroom CC, which is awesome. There's a lot of benefits to it. So welcome to the CC Club. That's all I've got for you today.

And as always, thank you so much for watching. My name is Adam. Have a great day, everybody.
