Transfer a catalog in lightroom between 2 PCs

This can be answered somewhere already, but I've watched so far, I can't find a solution that works for me, but I feel like it should be simple enough.

This summer, I was traveling around Europe and take lots of pictures. I brought my laptop with me so that I can import and edit images while on the trip. Now I'm back at home and I want to transfer all my photos with lightroom edits / data to my new computer. (Of course, it's easy just copy the pictures, but I can't get the data to pass properly).

I'm on Windows 10 with lightroom 6 on both machines.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have an external hardrive to use to transfer everything.

Thank you!

If you want to move all of the laptop to another computer, then you can simply export the catalog and images on a hard drive, external, and then on the other computer connects the external hard drive. Open Lightroom on this computer, and then choose Import from a catalog and choose the catalog on the external hard drive. That will allow you to add your vacation pictures to your catalog on the "main" computer Then you will have your holiday pictures to computers.

  • Upgrade from Lightroom 6? Transfer of catalog?

    My catalog and collections, I have currently in Lightroom 5 automatically will transfer when I download Lightroom 6?

    TIA, Don

    Hello

    Yes because soon you will launch Lightroom 6 it will be updated from the 5 Lightroom Catalog and save it as a copy.

    And all your collections and the changes that you made on the images will be delayed.

    Thank you

  • "Of LR Mobile" different Collections between 2 PCs

    I have CC Lightroom installed on 1) my desktop and laptop) 2 and both are PCs with Windows installed 10.  Collections under "Lightroom Mobile" should not be the same between my desktop PC and laptop because I am connected to Lightroom CC on both computers?

    However, they are not. I understand that the content will be different, because computers use the catalog located on-site. However, since Collections "Of LR Mobile" are supposed to sync with all my devices, I thought they were supposed to be identical. :

    KostFan2 wrote:

    LR Mobile is synchronize collections (more than 10) on the computer with multiple devices (iPad & iPhone).

    What does that mean ^.

    Right, you can synchronize multiple mobile devices with a catalog on a single computer and have several collections in sync between multiple mobile devices and a catalog on a single computer.

    LR Mobile never had to synchronize catalogs or collections between several desktops / laptop. Even if you were to use the same exact catalog on each of your mobile computers LR would only synchronize with one of them.

    If it is on the same computer, you should be able to connect to allow Lightroom to know you now use your new monthly plan, the catalog file should be automatically usable with no addition step.

  • What is the catalog in Lightroom? is that what I imported pictures

    I'm trying to import a photo, but when I try to import Lightroom says that it is already in the catalog. I can't find a way to search the catalog for the image I'm looking for. Under Catalog in Lightroom, there is a folder called all photographs. It says I have 37 757 photos. Did somehow inadvertently import everything on my computer? Thank you.

    There used to be a great set of tutorials made by a man named George. They were the best tutorials for a novice to use Lightroom, but I can't find them more.

    Thanks JimHess. This Adobe TV link has been a great help. I would have to argue, however, that the catalogue is a compilation of all the pictures I imported in Lightroom and not only a database of all the images on my computer. And in some way I accidentally imported each image on my computer there are a all kinds of graphic images and photos in the catalog in the folder all photographs. Also I did not 37 000 photographs downloaded to my computer, but I 37 000 thumbnails in my catalog.

    In any case thanks for the link. I was looking for a tutorial of George Jardine I had looked at before, which covered the same info, but for some reason some went underground and I can not find.

    And since I am new to Lightroom and import all images without sorting them in files or setting up metadata and protocols of copyright, is possible that I could remove all the image links that are now in my catalog, so I can start over?

    Thanks again

  • Transfer the catalog request

    Hello

    I want to transfer a catalog of a machine running PSE 5 (XP) on a new computer running PES 11 (Win7 64 bit).

    Is this posible and don't transfer/backup include the actual photos or just the relevant details? as I already have the pictures copied to the new machine.

    Thank you

    Take the backup of the catalog in PSE 5-> backup catalog file... command and restore the catalog in PSE11 using the file-> Restore Catalog command. This would take care of your photos and also the relevant details in your catalog.

  • Cannot transfer files between multiple PCs.

    I have 4 PCs; One with Windows 7, two with Windows Vista and one with XP.  I want to be able to transfer files between all four of the PC.  90% of the time, the Windows 7 and Vista systems cannot see the XP system in their network lists in the file Explorer.  Very frustrating.  All the PCs are in the same workgroup.  All have their hard drive to allow others to share and change the permissions.  I is almost as if mother Microsoft won't allow that to happen.  GRRRR

    Hello

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products on machines do you have? Be one you have NEVER
    had on them, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Some of them can cause network problems and sometimes you need to uninstall one instead of just disable
    be able to catch him as the primary cause.

    ---------------------------------------

    Check with your router manufacturer's online help (most have excellent help) and their firmware on your router
    model - also check with their forums for possible known problems.

    ---------------------------------------

    Most of these problems is associated parameters and driver. Be careful with trailing spaces when you enter in the
    data. XXXX and xxxx_ are not the same (where the '_' represents a trailing space which is invisible). The best
    way you ensure to remove the spaces to the right is to enter data and then go back up to the last character. See #5
    below.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Follow these steps for all machines:

    It's my generic instructions for the correct driver updates: (you want mainly to update NETWORK and WiFi card drivers).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

    The bases for troubleshooting are:

    1. make sure that you have the same (e.g., 192.168.0.x) intellectual property regime.

    2 make sure you have the same mask subnet, gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

    3. make sure you can ping the IP address of the other computer. Failure, just to test, make sure that you disable XP as well as any other firewall.

    4. make sure that you can test other computers by name.

    5. make sure that you have the same workgroup name (note the spaces)

    6. for purposes of troubleshooting, turn off XP and completely uninstall any other firewall software. You can always add more complexity once get you it working.

    7 with XP, make sure you have the same user name and password that the person by connecting to other computers. The default setting for XP Pro is to require a password for network access.
