- Lightroom Classic users managing catalogs on Mac
- Worth noticing
- The proposed backup excludes original photos, which the page says should be backed up separately, for example with Time Machine.
Field notes
The page limits the utility to Lightroom Classic, not the cloud-based Lightroom app, and says cleaning waits until Lightroom Classic is quit. It describes a sample-data demo and a backup workflow that copies catalog-related files to another drive; original photos are excluded and need separate backup. The developer also says uncertain files are kept, while noting that cleanup suggestions are not guarantees.
