Hi All: Hope this post finds everyone well! Here’s my situation: 1) On my old iMac (2011), I have the stand alone Lightroom version, which has 2 or 3 catalogues. 2) The RAW files for these catalogues are on two external hard drives connected to my iMac.
Here’s my goal: 1) Bring the catalogues from the iMac into my Lightroom Classic Creative Cloud version on my laptop. In doing this, I would, of course, then hook up my external hard drives to the laptop via the two USB drives. Reasons for setting this goal: 1) For reasons I won’t go into, I’m going to loose free, easy, and daily access to my iMac. 2) The iMac is getting old. 3) I want all my photos in one place. 4) I want to be more mobile; during lazy evenings when Darrel and I are in the living room with the tv on, I want to be with him, and I want to work on my photos. Here’s my query: 1) To achieve my goal, is it just a matter of just exporting the catalogues on my desktop to, say, a flash drive, then import these catalogues into Lightroom on my laptop? Then, of course, plug in my external drives? 2) I back up my catalogues to my external drives. Would it be easier to just import the back-ups into Lightroom on my laptop? 3) Any other suggestions or tips I should consider?
