Many of you have Lightroom 5 catalogs with filenames such as “Lightroom 4 Catalog-2-2”. While Lightroom doesn’t care what the catalog is named, I of course find it less confusing that the filename reflect what it actually is. In this short video tutorial, I’ll show you how to safely rename your Lightroom catalog and the associated Previews file. You’ll also learn in this video how to move your catalog.

Your changing catalogue name was extremely helpful. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the tutorial. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Great. Explained that quickly and simply and just what I was looking for :)
Thanks so much Laura!! I spent 2 months reading and watching advice from others on how to change my catalog name to LR 5. Your video was so simple and took only a couple of minutes. Absolutely perfect.
You just took five minutes to explain “locate Lightroom catalogue file, rename file and preview folder/file”.
Why’d you even make a video? I just did exactly what you did expect more efficiently, better, quicker, and using less bandwidth.
Thanks for literally wasting peoples time.
Thank you this was just what I needed and very easy to follow along.
