This happens becuase the photos you want to synchronize are already in the catalog. So no need to synchronize. You can find the photos in your catalog via following ALL 4 of these steps, in order:   In LrC, click on All Photographs (left side of the Library module) Turn off filters (ctrl-L once or twice) Expand all stacks (Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks) Use the filter bar to search for one of the photos by file name. ...

When you run out of space for your original photo files on one external drive, put the new photo files on a second external drive, all in the same catalog. Having your original photos onto two drives does not require a new catalog, they can all be in the same catalog. This to me is the best solution; starting a new catalog or splitting the existing catalog is the worst solution. ... View more

Would a copy of a small collection of photos, or a new catalogue from that small collection (e.g. my top 10 landscape images) to my internal drive be a better way to have those always with me?   If you want a small number of images with you even when your external drive in not plugged in, just don't move them to the external drive. That way, you don't have to move them to the external drive and then move them back to the internal drive.   Going back to your first message, in which you said:   First time scenario for me. I'm looking for suggestions to how I can safely move my entire photos/catalogue and collections to an external SSD, however, still being able to work on some of them (work in progress projects), when the external SSD is not connected.   Why? What is the reason you want to do all of this work? Going back to your first message, you said:   Smart Previews seem like a great idea for basic things but won't give me enough options for what I need to do (I'll also have large PS documents to edit).   Explain this further ... why are Smart Previews not a good option? ...

I've already searched the forum and, it seems, that there are several options to move all my photos from the laptop's internal harddrive to an external SSD: either by copying, deleting source files and updating folder locations, or by 'Exporting this folder as collection...'. Or is there another better way?   Option 2 here is the way to go. Once you do that (and confirm that it works properly) you can also move the catalog to the external HD using your operating system if you want. However, unless you have a very good reason for putting the catalog on an external HD, don't move it, leave it on the internal drive. Everything works fine with photos on external HD and catalog on internal HD.   What I'm still not sure about, would either option keep the collections I created on my internal drive work once it's either reconnected to the new location or exported as new catalogues?   Collections are in the catalog file, they are not separate entities on one of you hard disks. So moving the photos and catalog as described above moves the c ollections as well. DO NOT export the collections as catalogs, this is unnecessary and doesn't help.   Would it then be the best way, to simple move those images into an editing folder on the internal laptop drive from within LRC   NO, don't design workflows that require photos to be moved here to there and back. The speed difference is so trivial that you will never notice a speed difference, there is no benefit to do this. Decide what disk you want the photos on, and thenb leave the photos where they are, and edit them where they are. The speed benefit of editing from the internal drive is so trivial you will never notice. ... View more

I import Raw images from SD card through Bridge, then open images in Camera Raw and do first edit deleting any unwanted images and rating any images I particularly like This can be done entirely in Lightroom Classic. In particular this viewing and deleting is easily and quickly done via Embedded Previews.   I then save retained images as 16bit Tiffs in a new folder, rename them in Bridge and then open them in Lightroom Classic for editing.   If you use Embedded Previews in LrC, then there is no need to save a TIFF, your photos are already in LrC and you can rename the photos in LrC if you want. ...

If it's a plug in for Bridge then why can't I access it from Bridge? By @Vivien Kent   It has to be installed.   I think you have some sort of misunderstanding when earlier you said "How am I supposed to get my images into a format I can process in Lightroom without Camera Raw?"   You don't need to get your images into some format ... you just import them into Lightroom Classic and then you go ahead edit them in Lightroom Classic, which contains ACR built-in. You don't need a separate ACR, you don't need Bridge. In fact, very few people use Bridge and ACR as a step in the workflow before using Lightroom Classic. ... View more

Are you using Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? What version NUMBER?   Translation to English   When importing photos, Lightroom recognizes the site I am telling you about as long as the folder has already been created and has saved images from before. If I tell it to create a new folder, it doesn't. He saves them by making a folder with the current year.   How are you telling LrC to create a new folder? Please be specific and detailed and explain what you are doing step-by-step, leaving nothing out. If possible, how us a screen capture. Use the Insert Photos icon to include your screen capture in your reply. Do NOT attach files.   What option do you choose in the Import dialog box? Is it Copy as DNG, COPY, ADD or MOVE?   I also have a root folder created and inside all the folders.

Do you mean Lightroom Classic?   If so, it has likely chosen the wrong catalog to upgrade. Go to File->Open Recent and try opening each catalog shown there until you find the catalog you want. If that doesn't work, search your hard disk(s) — using Windows Explorer's search function — for all files on all disks whose name ends with .LRCAT, and then open each one of those until you find the catalog you want. ...

Truncated paths are incredibly unhelpful for this, ordered or no.   Isn't that what the "Show" button is for? With that one click, you can find the full path, and the actual backup file of interest. And then you can also see the exact date and time the file was created (at least, that's how it works on Windows).   Agreeing with Johan, backups in your Pictures folder is a very bad idea. My backups go to my V: drive (an external drive) on Windows, in a root level folder named Lightroom Backups so they are easy to find, unlike burying the backups 6 folders levels deep; and no one can doubt what that folder contains. ...
