Using Lightroom on Two Computers
My main Lightroom catalog is on a desktop Windows machine in my home studio, but I travel with a MacBook Pro, and use the laptop computer for working with Lightroom on the road. In this video, I’ll discuss the way I merge photos from my remote shoots back into my main Lightroom catalog.
In order to do this, I use Lightroom’s “Export as Catalog” and “Import from another Catalog” features to transfer and merge my two separate catalogs into one.
Keep in mind that this is one of a number of possible strategies, but it is the one that works for me.

Thanks Michael, I found that very interesting. I was wondering if your future videos would be covering moving a whole picture file and working with an external drive. I was thinking of moving my photos from my MBP hard drive to a portable drive and working from that. I must admit though the process is a worry to me, I’d hate to lose my images. Thanks again.
