![]() If you fix all of the "missing files" in the Catalog when it is connected to the Mac. Move that catalog over to a machine running MacOS and the catalog losses reference to every that has a drive letter in the path because MacOS is Posix compliant and does not need or use drive letters. Windows uses drive letters and there are embedded in the path field in the catalog for every image manages by that catalog. ![]() Trying to run Classic on a Windows machine AND a Mac machine with the same physical catalog is a constant headache and probably beyond the scope to the light technical user. As I don't do this, I can't offer any configuration advice or first hand experience.Ĭlick to expand.If you really want a simple "fire and forget" solution the Cloud圜lassic combination can't be beat. However, based on comments in various forums, many seem content using cloud sync tools such as DropBox as long as they are set up such that LR perceives the catalog folder as being on a local drive and you assure that cloud sync completes before you swap to the other machine. I don't store presets with the catalog as I don't change them all that often - I just added them to both computers. ![]() I find the performance degradation a bit annoying but manageable (2.95gb catalog file). I work this way swapping an external hard drive between a Windows desktop machine and a Windows laptop machine. You will have a bit of performance degradation with the catalog on an external hard drive. You'll also have to have your preferences on both as well as plugins. If you do a lot of work with presets and are changing them often, setup LR Classic to store presets with the catalog. Make sure the drive is compatible with both operating systems and can handle files as large as your catalog is and is expected to become. ![]() ![]() I would opt to skip the LR Cloudy option (unless there are other reasons for using it) and would place both the LR Catalog (actually the entire folder containing the LR catalog) and all the images referenced by that catalog on an external hard drive and move that drive between the two computers. If you are talking about Lightroom Classic (as opposed to the cloud based Lightroom), and want to run LR Classic on both computers (albeit not at the same time) and have all Classic features and tools available on both and have all work performed on one be available on the other, then Clee was answering a slightly different question. ![]()
