- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
So, I just ordered a new MacBook Pro. The issue is that I opted for the SSD, which will be faster than a conventional drive, but money wise I chose the 512gb. I currently have a terabyte drive in my laptop, and it's full of about 900gb, probably 500-600 of that being photos and such.
Now, my idea is to have an external 2TB drive, for my main catalog and photos. My thought is that I'll import photos to my laptop, edit them, work them, etc, and every week or so I'll dump all of those off there and onto the external. That way I'll limit the photos on my actual laptop to only the most recent ones.
That being said, is this is a tricky process? I've not tried to transfer Lightroom edited photos and resulting info from a laptop drive to an external.
OR, the other option is to always have to plug in my external drive when I want to edit, so that way I never have to worry about moving/transferring.
Thoughts?
Ideas?
