I want to copy the files published on a second computer, do I need to export the catalog or can I just copy

I find that I edit the files on my phone but I want the files, with their changes to reside on my desktop also.

I had exported the folder as a catalogue, but can't think of shy, I can't just copy the folder that contains the files in RAW and XMP formats and import the folder on the desktop PC. This option seems to work as well as catalogue option.

Any reason I should choose one way over the other?

Use Lightroom 4.2

Thank you

Kelvin

You use the Export as Catalog method.

There are things in the catalog that are not stored in XMP.

  • Why did ask if I want to download the entire site rather than just the file that I have modified to PUT it?

    When I try to PUT the file on the server he asked ARE YOU SURE YOU WISH to PUT the SITE TOGETHER.

    I want to only download the specific file I edit.

    Previously, he asked if I want to put dependent files, but this option is not available?

    You must select the file that you want to download in the window files first, before, or while working on the file, press on save and then Ctrl + Maj + you to download immediately.

  • I can't open my Lr4, it said: Please update the file of the catalogue 'catalogue Lightroom 3' for use with Lightroom 4. I press the upgrade, it's a new catalog: catalog 4 Ircat lightroom, when I want to open the catalog, Lightroom 3 Ircat, I can't. He say

    CAT

    All, or almost all, LR version uses its own type of catalog file. A catalog LR 1 file will not open in 2 LR without it first be converted to work with LR 2.

    It is the same for all other versions of LR and their corresponding catalog files. Good thing is that LR is able to upgrade a catalog file oldest to the version that is used with a newer version of LR. Bad part is you cannot open or convert an newer version of the LR catalog in an older version of LR.

  • When I switch to v5.7 to 6.0 installation did not ask me if I wanted to update the catalog so I always use that Lightroom 5.  Is elsewhere or is it ok.  If it is bad how do I update the catalog for v6.0?  I use a Mac

    When I upgraded from lightroom 5.7 to 6.0 installation has not asked if I wanted to update the catalogue which is what I expected.  So I always use the version 5.  Is how important it?  If so how to I update to version 6.0?

    This happens sometimes. Just start Lightroom 6 go to file-> open and then locate your Lightroom 5.7 catalog and choose to open it. Then 6 Lightroom will do the upgrade.

  • LR CC wants to upgrade the catalog at each opening

    I downloaded the app, which shows up as a folder in my applications folder.

    I launched it and said yes to the upgrade of my catalog. So he created the Master catalog - 2

    I've worked in, edited, and printed an impression then it got stuck on the preparation of a second page of the saved print, so I force quit.

    When I opened again he wanted to improve again and Master catalog - 2-3, so I chose to open the catalog more MC - 2 list.

    He checked again the curves and updated again, but all the work I've done, including the imported photos had disappeared.

    How to prevent the it upgrade whenever I open?  Thank you.

  • my photos on an external drive. my catalog is also stored there, (in the case where I have to change computers. where are stored my backups to the catalog? (can't find them!

    as noted, my pix is on an external drive (pc), my catalogs are on the same drive. where are my backups being stored i cant seem to find them. If I open the folder lightroom with the name of the catalog on the outside, all I see is a bunch of files labeled 1,2,3, etc. and has, b, c.

    shouldn't there be a folder labeled bacvkups?

    If you have enabled the option to make catalog backups (you?) then your backups are in any case, indicate when the backup dialog box is displayed when you close Lightroom. If you enable the option to make backups of catalog, then you have not all backups.

    Yoou can use the search function of your operating system to find the files on all hard disks that have a name that ends with. LRCAT to find all possible backups.

    Note: the functionality of catalog in Lightroom backup makes a Backup of your file to catalog only. He doesn't have backups of your photos, you have to do it through other methods.

    Note: backups SHOULD go on a different drive than the originals; you make a terrible mistake if you put them on the same disk as the original.

  • How can you save the original with the catalog file file after edit

    OK I'll try boarding.

    First of all, I shoot a game... According to 600 photos. Import the game in lightroom, I mark the photos I want and delete the catalog. I edit and rename and export the files I want the game. say 300 photos.

    My question is; After saving the 300 photos in the catalogue how match the original photos with those exported if they match.

    I think that the best answer is to change your workflow.

    I never export photos except for a specific purpose (e-mail, web, print), and then after that I used the photos exported, I remove the exports. I do not export them just to have sitting around on my hard drive for some whose use is more later. In this way, the photo is still available in Lightroom, and if you want this photo retouched, you go into Lightroom and find and export as required. It is not question to match to originals with exported given that you do not keep the exported photos once they have served their purpose (e-mail, web, print).

  • Adding files in a catalogue where the catalog suspect duplicates?

    Hello

    I searched for the answer to this but I just have to be bad thinking.

    Last year, I had a hard drive crash and I was restore some of my photos from backup.  In one case, I have a folder in my structure of the catalogue showing a sub-folder.  However, if I look at the hard drive, there are several folders.

    Essentially:

    Catalogue:

    2008

    2008-04-25

    Hard drive:

    2008

    2008-01-25

    2008-01-31

    etc.

    I would have thought 'easy import', right?  Well, the problem is that my catalog shows all the duplicate and existing photos in the catalogue then if I try to import with "don't import suspected duplicates", then I end up with two of each file.

    What is the appropriate way to restore files in the catalog?  Or I just thought the answer to my own question, and I have to import and 'Add' instead of moving or copying?

    Thank you!

    Use a filename from the "problem files" and find it in Lightroom using the text filter, then select file name.
