I use Lightroom on iMac and laptop - where to store my master files?

I'm a convert to the wire to use Lightroom to edit and manage all of my photos (previously using iPhoto, then Photos). Currently I have my pictures stored on my iMac and would like to be able to access and manage/modify them to my laptop as well. However, I don't have enough space on my laptop for all those pictures and I don't want to use an external plug in and out of my iMac and laptop hard drive whenever I want to edit my photos.

Is there a way to have my pictures stored in one place (currently my iMac) and then access it from my laptop to organize and modify them without having to take up on my laptop? I'll have to spend some time going back to 10 years to make the folders and subfolders, and you want to be able to do some of this work for my laptop and have it synchronize on the iMac. Creative cloud that done for me?

Thank you

Hi boarderangie,

With the help of creative cloud, the catalog will not be synchronized through creative cloud.

However, you can use an external drive to work with images on 2 different computers.

Kind regards

  • 5.4 Lightroom on iMac and MacBook Pro

    I have been using Lightroom on my iMac (OS X 10.7.5) with an external 4 TB drive plugged with my Lightroom Catalog and pictures stored on it. I just bought a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.2) and loaded my second copy of Lightroom on it.

    I want to use my MacBook Pro when I travel to download the RAW files, edit and post pictures online etc. I don't have access to my catalog any when they travel. On my return, I want to have all my edited photos on my home iMac. They need not be kept on the laptop after that.

    My external hard drive is too big to travel with (heavier than the laptop), but I have a smaller, that I can use for the trip. I wanted to just keep a catalog at home, but not sure of the most effective way to achieve. Any help appreciated gratefully.

    You can export your images on the MBP of catalogue (file > Export catalogue) and import the catalog into your catalog master iMac. File > import from another catalog.

  • 6 of Lightroom on iMac and Macbook

    I bought LR6 and installed on my iMac and Macbook.

    How can I overcome this?   The license allows installation on a desktop and laptop.

  • LR5 using on a desktop and laptop computer and creating a Collection

    I use Lightroom 5 on a desktop and a laptop.  I have my Lightroom Catalog and all my photos on an external hard drive.  I had no trouble seeing all my folders on both computers.  Recently, I created a Collection on my desk.  The next day, when I connected the external hard drive to my laptop, the collection wasn't there, nor was the changes I had made in this collection.  I took the hard drive on my desktop, and the Collection will appear on the desktop.  Catalog entire Lightroom, including all folders AND all Collections should be not the same on both computers?  What could I have done wrong?

    Create a folder on your external drive and copy the catalog to the desktop machine that you want to see on your laptop, so, once done unplug the external driver of the office and connect it to the laptop.

    Go to the created folder and open the catalogue which he copied from the office.

    Now, whenever you want to work on Lightroom either on your desktop or laptop you must have this hard drive connected to this computer, then you can open the same catalog is on your machine.

    Thank you

  • Timing of Lightroom Mobile - Desktop and laptop problem

    I'm using Lightroom Mobile to sync files between my desktop and my laptop. Initially I got sync errors when I tried to sync the photos in a collection. Then I did the following:

    1. Lightroom preferences desktop > Lightroom Mobile > "delete all data".
    2. Stop Office Lightroom and delete the folder sync.lrdata

    I was finally able to synchronize the pictures on my desk.  When I log in Lightroom Mobile on my laptop, it gives me the message on the use of a catalog at a time. Asking if I want to delete and use the catalog in force or not to delete. No matter what I choose, once it is says synchronized none of the collections or pictures appear in my collection on my laptop. BUT if I chose to delete the catalog and then gets cut my connection on my desktop and I can no longer be synchronized on my desk. Then I have to go through all the steps listed above in order to synchronize again.

    Maybe I don't understand exactly how it is supposed to work. I guess that once a computer synchronizes a collection successfully then once a different device of the computer/mobile synchronizes with the same account credentials so that the collection appear in the new collection of devices list? Is this correct? Or am I missing something here?  What I have to share somehow photos or something?

    Thank you

    Mobile synchronization between different office/computer machines is not yet supported.  But you can synchronize between multiple mobile devices. -Guido

  • Using Icloud on imac and Windows

    I need to subscribe to the full suite where I can access Photoshop on imac and Dreamweaver on a desktop computer. This can happen, or you must have a multi user license.

    Hello

    You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

    After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

  • How two different users using Lightroom on the same laptop?

    My wife and I have all two 5.7 Lightroom running on our desktop computers (both licenses). I installed it on my laptop. If my wife wants to use it on the same laptop (another user) how we do?

    He asks for a 'new' series number or actually attempted to enter the same serial number (sorry if you already answered this question).  It may be just trying to instantiate the application as a "first edition".  In fact, it can work with the same serial number that it will recognize that it is the same material and not a third facility.  If it gives you an error, I'd get this time in contact with a Support Adobe technique for registration by chat or phone issues.

  • Can I start again with time capsule 2 TB existing using an existing iMac and a new iMac.

    Trying to understand several iMacs and Time Capsule.  Can I save a 2 iMacs on my Time Capsule?  I am running AutoCAD LT 1015 on my new iMac, so far, I've not put back up on my Time Capsule.  I'm worried it might be a problem with the existing backup tutorial AutoCAD on the Time Capsule, interfering with the new version purchased.  Therefore, I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

    I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

    Yes you can. The way simplest and quickest way to accomplish what you want is clear the Time Capsule disk and then start over again with a new backup of a Mac. Then, once it's over, make a new backup of the other Mac.

    When the two Macs have saved for the first time, then both will continue back up automatically and gradually.
