Lightroom on 2 computers?
« on: May 21, 2021, 07:44:01 am »

I want to use the same LR catalog on 2 systems and am not sure of the best way to do it. On one system the catalog is on the C: drive and the photos are on R:. On the other both catalog and photos are on D:. What's the best way to go about this? Thanks.

Put EVERYTHING on an external drive; catalog, presets (save presets with catalog pref), profiles etc. Move or clone drive.

It was a simple matter of changing the drive letter of the external SSD where my LR files are kept.
