Quick summary
The file you selected isn't a Lightroom Classic catalog. Imagen needs a catalog file that ends in .lrcat.
How to fix this
- Select the catalog again. Choose the file that ends in .lrcat. Don't choose these files and folders that sit next to it:
•.lrdatafolders (previews)
•.lrcat-datafolders
•.lock,-walor-shmfiles
• Backup.zipfiles - If you can't find the catalog, open it in Lightroom Classic, and go to:
• Mac: Lightroom Classic › Catalog Settings › General › Show
• Windows: Edit › Catalog Settings › General › Show
The catalog is usually inPictures/Lightroom. - If you only have a backup
.zip, unzip it first, and choose the.lrcatfile inside.
