I'm setting up a new MacBook Pro this upcoming weekend. My Lightroom catalog resides entirely on an external HD. Accordingly, I'm working under the presumption the 'move' will be little more than downloading Lightroom (and other Adobe apps in my subscription) to the new machine; once that's done, then everything should be fine...or am I overlooking something?

Thanks -

Hi Bill

You'll find the eBook mentioned helpful, also in your Classic book page 443. The catalog and photos should be easy enough, but these references help you to not miss Presets, Plugins,...

All the best with the move!
