    Help please - What step am I missing????

    rollsnut Community Member

      I am using LR3 on a PC platform.

       

      I have created a catalogue, done my editing, etc. on my desktop computer.

       

      I want to transfer the (I hope I say this correctly) virtual images to my laptop for viewing only, not manipulation. I don't want the image files on the laptop because of harddrive space.

       

      I took the whole directory (folder), copied it to a portable drive then placed the whole directory (folder) onto my laptop. When I open the catalog on my laptop it says the folder can't be found. The images appear VERY pixilated - it's as if the xmp files, or something are missing.

       

      Even though all works properly on the desktop do I need to EXPORT the catalog for it to work properly on the laptop (or other computer)? I have to believe I'm not seeing the forest for the trees and the solution is very simple.

       

      I hope this makes sense.

       

      Thanks in advance for any help.
