Using Mac OS X.6.2, Lightroom 2.5 I think
A question about Lightroom catalogs:
I'm living in Brazil for a few months and have only a Macbook Air to work with. It has just one USB port. I want to edit images in Lightroom using my USB mouse, so I can't have my external mini hard drives connected while working in LR.
I think I can find a work-around by
1. creating multiple catalogs that
2. will be LR edited on my MBA then can be continuously backed up to my externals
and
3. later recombined when I get home to my regular desktop computer.
I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but how do I do this?
I already created a "Brazil" catalog. I think I should organize catalogs by city/region so I can work on 30GBs or less at a time.
Can I
4. Sync up a catalog from my internal HD onto an external? I want not just the photo images, but the Lightroom edits backed up.
Any step-by-step instructions or points would be appreciated.
*Thanks in advance* for the help.
PS I can't just use a USB hub … the HDs are self-powered (G-Drive Mini and Seagate Freeagent)
