    Single or Multiple Catalogues?

    Hi.... a year in to this wonderful hobby and I have amassed several thousand images, even after significant curation. So I'm wondering - do others use multiple catalogues to help manage their libraries? E.g. one for personal / home, one for other work or events, one for say outdoors / landscape...

    Catalog corruption problem happening recently

    Hello, I've been having a strange and troubling catalog issue. When I close LR CC (Mac OS) it asks to backup and i say yes.

    Catalog merge and keywords

    Greetings, I have 2 catalogs, 1 quite large with over 60,000 images and a newer one with only a few thousand. I haven't been able to find any advice about how large a catalog can be so I am going to assume that the upper limit to number of images isn't a problem. My images are extensively...

    Due to backup trouble ...

    caused by updating to 2015.8, I was misled to suspect that my catalog was too large. So, I decided to split it into four parts via catalogexports and removals. Three such exports - each one approximately 10K photos - left me with a 'main' catalog containing 65K photos out of the initial 95K...

    Is mobile limited to one catalog?

    When I create a collection in my Personal catalog there is an option to sync with mobile, but that option isn't available in my work catalog. I"m guessing that means Mobile can only sync with one catalog?
