Hi, my first post here so hope this is correct. I intend to use my 2nd copy of Lightroom on my Macbook for travel photos using the new catalog technique - i.e. import and work on my pics (including metadata & keywording) on my travels and then export / import the catalog into my master catalog on the desktop machine at home.
Now it seems to me I could export a copy of my extensive keyword list from my desktop... and import it into my laptop with the intention of doing all my keywording during my travels.
I can't see much on that subject anywhere, so does anyone know if that would work okay?
Keywording away from my main catalog always frustrates me - it's not supported in LR Mobile, and typing keywords directly into a laptop new catalog seems to me likely to result in un-nested duplicates or spelling variations when it gets imported into the desktop machine.
Clearly any subsequent changes to my desktop catalog keywords would not be synced to the macbook but then I would expect to start afresh with a new catalog and a fresh import (replacement) of keywords each time I travelled. Hope that makes sense. Any thoughts?
