Thanks for generating the conversation! Good ideas! As you can see, 1850 photos at 12.5MB (I shoot in RAW) would have taken up 2.3GB of disk space. By the time I started post processing, I reduced it to 150. By the time we left New England I had reduced it to 250. My wife and I took a vacation to New England in September and between the two of us we captured around 2000 photos. If there is one thing I’ve learned from NAPP and it’s instructors is to get it Right in the camera as much as possible. I think we all get hung up with the fact that we can shoot, shoot, shoot because it’s digital and doesn’t cost money for film and development. If I don’t like it in the field then it’s history. I’ve also made a better effort of getting it right in camera when I take the shot. That way instead of working with 180 photos, I only have to work on 30 or less. If all three don’t pass, then all three are history. Then I review for composition and sharpness, and then two out of three are history. My procedure is to take three photos of the same scene (one of the three will be good). Well, I used to be a photo addict, and finally kicked the habit once I started getting serious about post processing. Anyway, I’ll keep you posted as time goes on to let you know how this method works for me in the long run. If you’re wondering why not just work on the catalog directly from the external drive, it’s because that will significantly slow down Lightroom as it needs to write to that catalog file pretty often. I mean, either way, I need to copy something to a drive to get it over to my other computer right? This way just feels much cleaner to me and since my photos are all stored on the external drive. I have to say, it sure beats doing the File > Export as Catalog and File > Import as catalog “thing”.
Next, I attach the external drive to my other computer, copy the.

Then I go to where the actual catalog file is stored (You can see the location under the Lightroom > Catalog Preferences menu on a Mac / Edit > Catalog Preferences menu on a PC). I add keywords, Develop module changes, new Collections, etc… Well when I’m done, I close Lightroom. Now, let’s say I’m working on my Mac and I’m working on a bunch of photos. Anyway, I was testing a PC-only Lightroom plug-in and I stumbled across (what I feel at least) is a great way to share your catalogs if you use multiple computers.įirst, it requires that you store your photos on an external hard drive (which I already do).

While I still use my Macbook Pro primarily, I have to say the Dell is more and more tempting because it knocks the socks off my Mac when it comes to speed. I recently got a Dell Precision M6500 for various tasks.
