Implementation of Lightroom on the second computer

I have just returned from a long assignment and finally took an iMac.  I've been running Lightroom 2.7 on my MacBook Pro, keeping all the image on a separate external hard drive files.

How can I import my image hierarchy (about 8500 images, so not huge) in my second version of Lightroom on the new computer?  I want to assure you that all metadata and keywords categories image are imported as well.  I will continue to work on the external hard drive.

Thank you!

It's pretty easy:

Just install LR on the second computer and copy the .lrcat file from the old computer to the new and then open it using LR on the new computer. Make sure the external hard drive is attached.

He has a record that lives in the same folder as your catalog file, named .lrdata. This package contains all the previews of your images that are displayed when you are in the generated Lightroom library Module. If you do not copy it to the new machine, LR it will rebuild, but it will take more time than would the copy operation, so you should copy this folder across, too.

Under Settings/preferences/editing presets, there is a button that will tell you your presets folder. If you have created a preset of your choice, you can find them here and copy them to the equivalent location on the new computer.

It is probably easier to re - specify your preferences, but you can look in the FAQ for this forum and find where they are being held on a Mac and move the preferences file, if you prefer.
