1. Re: How do I share a lightroom catalog on a single PC?
JimHess Aug 21, 2016 1:59 PM (in response to clintf44626856)Your wife needs to go into the Lightroom preferences file under her username and check the option to treat JPEG images next to raw images as separate files. Then she can synchronize the folder and the JPEGs should be added.

clintf44626856 Aug 21, 2016 3:08 PM (in response to JimHess)Thanks Jim. I'll do this but what about overall way I've done this? I don't know if this right or wrong and what will/won't show up for her in terms of Lightroom attributes such as picked/not picked, ratings, colors etc..... Ideally, I'd like her to see the catalog the way I've set it up for me so we can stay in sync.

3. Re: How do I share a lightroom catalog on a single PC?
JimHess Aug 21, 2016 4:10 PM (in response to clintf44626856)I have never run Lightroom this way. My wife and I both have separate computers. But as I understand it, if she is using the same catalog to view the same images then all of the adjustments and ratings should be visible by either user. I was going to caution that only one you can access the catalog at any given time. But if it's a single computer that obviously isn't an issue. After she makes that change in her preferences you will just have to let her examine the images and see what shows up. It would be nice if you would report back, mainly for my benefit.

clintf44626856 Aug 21, 2016 6:04 PM (in response to JimHess)Well, my first problem was I didn't have the right catalog file selected on her account. I fixed that and now I can see the catalog as I see it on my account but I haven't had time to do anything additional yet. We'll see how this goes sharing a catalog.
