If your operating system is Catalina or later then buying an external drive won't help you. The software will not install.   A 2021 Mac is probably running Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma or Sequoia.

hopefully they will eventually provide equally great help for a fairly complex program.   They used to provide detailed PDFs with boxed DVD software in the heady days of useful Help docs. That was many years ago. I can only assume that those PDFs were very expensive to produce, were rapidly outdated when new and improved features were introduced and few people referred to them.   Since we've gone to the Cloud and SaaS, useful help has disappeared. The online Adobe guides are useless for me.I find that Google searches are far more useful and quicker. ... View more

In fact in a chat with an adobe tech today they told me to keep it at 1gb max.   I keep seeing these anecdotal reports occasionally yet nowhere does Adobe document this in written articles online.   If a 1GB catalog was such a good benchmark, I'm sure it would be widely documented and practiced. Yet there are plenty of 1GB+ catalogs in daily use with no performance hit. ... View more

my current catalog which is about 2 yrs old is at about 600mb.  What is the max size for lr catalogs before things start slowing down? A 600MB catalog over 2 years is quite manageable for Lightroom Classic and should perform well for many years.   Many people operate with hundreds of thousands of images in their catalogs with no issues.   Adobe's main advice over the years is to stick to one catalog unless you have very specific workflow needs. There is no need to split catalogs for performance reasons.

So, they will have 2 options, either buy PSE and Restore my catalog, or, use an app to read all the metadata that is attached to each photo.  That seems to be the only options available.   If your relatives are anything like mine (totally non-technical), I don't see either of those options happening so all your meticulous hard work is at risk of never being enjoyed by your family.   Giving them a URL to view well organised and captioned photos via an online hosting service would be far more engaging and accessible. ...
