Hi Bill,
20k isn't a big deal for lightroom so not a problem. I have almost 30k and no issues whatsoever.
Regarding image/photo storage you could use a fast external drive so you can use it in both laptops as you wish. You can use 1 main catalog in you mac pro and a second catalog in your 15"...
Some information how to get it done:
Workflow: inject creating folders by data and moving photos to proper folder automatically

Not sure how it works for them...but i use my catalog in a laptop ssd500gb.
You can easily sync it to another desktop, or several other equipments...so no need to put it in another external drive...i think.
Not sure if Backblaze is a good option for more then a 1Tb, just compare prices and...
Already reamed all my archive using IMG-"YYYYMMDD"-"sequencial"...and updated my settings to rename on import.
However I'm not sure if the date applied to each photo is the date of creation or the date when import/rename takes place...I'll test it! Thanks guys

Hi RSK,
LR catalog always on SSD and photo files on another drive. I use a external drive. Are you considering revision history in your backup workflow? Why expensive thunderbolt external drives for backup? You need speed in your main drive but for backup you could use a normal/reliable hdd...
you're more then right [emoji106]
That's a option, it works just fine with 2x128gb. I use it because its safer to have smaller cards...and i already had several 16gb cards. [emoji12]

I understand your concern, but i have a additional backup on my 5D, that's why i use several 16gb cards and a 128gb on camera. I use the 128gb on inject but if anything happens i have a copy on the 16gb cards.

Thanks Ferguson [emoji108] [emoji106]
The only issue about the workflow you have presented is that photos are copied 2 times: from SD to c:/stage/data folder and from here to final destination on import to LR, correct?
I've been using something similar for last 2 days and that's why i thought...
Hi Gnits, thanks for youry reply
This would result in additional time to delete rejected photos from drive...that's why i thought to select/reject photos after injest and before i really move photo files from SD card to a specific drive folder. Not sure if this is the best options for me but...
Hi guys, i'm using a 30days trial photo mechanic and nees some help about workflow.
I use a laptop for catalog and external HDD as source for all photos. Photos are imported using LR and are stored in HDD under G:/Photography folder, automatically at import by year and day. When sd card has...
Hi Johan, photos are imported in LR to folders organized by year>date>photo, ex. 2017>06.10.2017>IMG_19886.
So far had no troubles with files from different cameras with the same name...but i would like to avoid it. I'll try your suggestion and apply it on import.
Thanks

Hi guys,
I've been shooting with more then 1 equipment (nexus, bridge, dslr) and thinking in the best way to photo rename and when to do it.
At this moment im using IMG_"sequencial" in every equipment but ant certain pojnt i will have more then 1 photo with the same name.
Thnk for your time...
I was refering to the information present by lightroom showing that those photos are CR2+JPG files (when i have already deleted the jpg).

Thanks Johan, I've been checking it and my old G10 has been set for RAW+JPG.
Instead of deleting those jpg in lightroom I've deleted them in win explorer...as a consequence lightroom continues to identify jpg as sidecar. How can i update this in lightroom to correct metadata presented?

Hi guys,
I've noticed that some raw files have jgp xmp sidecar and others, from a different camera only have xmp sidecar.
Any reason for this?

Not a issue at this moment, but thanks
I'm using revision history so keeping all files available.

Thanks johnbeardy, that's exactly what i'm doing, using my eyes. It's impossible to remove all duplicates in a 20k catalog at first...believe I'll have to pass my eyes in all photos not once but several times, tag and use filters and smart collections for better analysis. How come in all this...
Thanks guys [emoji108]. I've done that and now fighting to remove all the duplicates from a 20k catalog. Tried to use free teekesselchen plugin but didn't help much as I've identified dozens of false duplicates and dozens more of other duplicated photos that plugin clould identify. Has anyone...
