Migrating changes to picture from Mac to PC, while photos are shared on NAS

[Mr__Slarti]

Hello everyone,

I made a mistake when I started LR. I have put all my pictures on a NAS, which is not a mistake per se, but I have catalog for these on my PC and a catalog on my MAC.

Now here is the mistake, I made a lot of changes to photos via my MAC, which are in the Library on my MAC, but this doesn't scale for me, so I want to use my PC to do the changes in future and only move new catalogs, which I create on my MAC on the run to my PC.

So here the questions:

How can I migrate the existing changes to photos on my mac library to the PC? I tried a lot of copying, exporting, importing etc. I think the main problem is that the volume drives are not the same so, the PC when he wants to "merge", doesn't find the related photos.

Is there something else I could do, besides finding all the changed photos, make a catalog, moving those pictures from my NAS and then import this to my PC? That would be a lot of work. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

MB

Most of what you need is here: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/

The other thing you need to know is that you should make your life simple and from now on use one cataog (not multiple catalogs).
