Can I have one computer on my network edit a group of images, and then have another computer on the same network view the edit?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Aric, welcome to the forum!

Do they both need to be viewing the same images at the same time, or is it one computer coming back to a job that the other computer did earlier?

Aric,

To my knowledge you can't if one machine is already using the catalogue but once one has shut down then the other one will be allowed access to the catalogue with the edits.
I don't know if you could use LRViewer on one machine while the other is using the catalogue but wouldn't think so.

Using Bridge on the other machine, with XMP files set to write on the LR machine, could work.

I was able to use one version of LRViewer across a network share, with LR closed on the target machine.

Haven't tried it recently, since the very strong recommendations from the dev team to avoid network access.

Aric, are you wanting to this in a professional environment, or a home setup? (I ask, because one of my continual hassles is managing my family's access to my images).
Another possible solution is to use DNGs, making sure to do metadata and preview updates.
