Hi,
I have a question about LightRoom CC that I want to put out there. My wife and I both use LRCC but we do different types of work.
1. We have all of over original RAW and JPG files stored on our network RAID 1 server. All existing files and new files will be stored there.
2. I am initially going to create a new LR catalog that will live on my Mac. I am going to use the ADD function to build the LRCC catalog on my Mac building a base collection of images that will be sortable by EXIF data, Metadata that I add on import, and Face recognition. I will use smart previews.
The LR CC catalog will point at actual image data will be located on our server RAID 1 drive.
3. After building this initial catalog I want to copy it onto my wife's computer to act as a basis for her searchable LR catalog. Since all of the pointers in the LRCC catalog point to the same images on the server I can't see this as being a problem.... or is it?
4. I think that this will work so long as no changes are made to the original file's name or its location on the server. Smart previews will allow us to work on images even when the server is not connected and changes to edited files need not be synced between workstations as the changes reside with the LRCC catalog data and not the images file on the server,... correct?
Thanks
