Programs to open LRDB file
Remember to download programs supporting LRDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom with LRDB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LRDB file still does not use the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LRDB file with the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program, it is possible that Photoshop Lightroom Database requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LRDB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LRDB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LRDB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LRDB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LRDB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LRDB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LRDB files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LRDB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LRDB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
