Re: Lightroom Advice Needed!

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Hi Christine! 

I'd use the Finder to move the catalog folders from your iMac onto one of the 
external drives, and open them with the Lightroom app that is installed on the 
laptop. The file paths should all be correct that way, and whatever version of 
Lightroom is on the machine you're using will always open the same catalog 
properly. 

Tip on presets and such:
If you have a lot of presets and such other things you use, and presuming that 
you have Lightroom set to use them from a central storage point for all 
catalogs (they'll be in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom and its 
subdirectories), you can use the Lightroom Preferences to set LR to store the 
presets in a subfolder in the catalog folder. Once you do that, restore the 
defaults for all the different presets types to create a fully populated 
"Lightroom Settings" folder in the catalog folder. Then quit Lightroom, go into 
the Finder, and drag copies of all the presets you use that are stored in the 
default central location to the new catalog folder's Lightroom Settings 
directory. When you re-start Lightroom with that catalog, it will then 
initialize the new 'locally stored' presets so everything you were using will 
be there for you on the laptop. 

I would recommend having a separate backup drive to which you can store the 
catalog backups if you use this strategy.

[ann sanfedele]

It isn't that - re Sign Language... It's that all the copies I have are 
prettybeat up..


On line in some venues the book is selling for lots more..

I obviously sold Bruce Parker that photo but don't knwo where or when -- 
I think not on line..


sigh.
Yes I was referring to the book and the photo sold by others.

Ann,

Well, I see two items you authored that are not being sold by you:
"Sign Language" and "American Buffalo".
I am not sure if you were referring to both or just one of them.

In any case, - it sounds your work has gotten a recognition from Bruce 
Parker Studio as an "affordable fine art photograph".

:-)

And someone else values (or at least prices) your book even higher 
than you do it yourself. ;-)



Cheers,

Igor

Lightroom Advice Needed!

[Christine Aguila]

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?

Cheers, Christine

Ann,

Well, I see two items you authored that are not being sold by you:
"Sign Language" and "American Buffalo".
I am not sure if you were referring to both or just one of them.

Re: Home from Grandfather Mountain

[John]

But it *WAS* entertaining when three winners in a row piped up with "That's not 
my photo".


I think that should be one of the random non-Pentaxian quotes added to the 2018 
quotations list:


"That's not my photo" - Random GFM Nature Photography Weekend contest "winner".
