On a desktop mac at home I started editing images in LR6 that I have stored on an internal drive. I am traveling and want to continue working with images in that folder so I exported that folder "export as catalog" to a external drive. I have LR6 installed on my MacBook and want to continue working on the images there. Ultimately I want to merge all the newly edited images back to the original folder on my desktop mac.
I am looking for the simplest solution. Some questions I have:
1 Should I create a new catalog on the MacBook or does it matter?
2. Does it matter that many of the images in the exported folder have already been edited?
3. Once I have edited all the images on the MacBook and I reconnect the external drive to my desktop mac do I click "Import photos and Video" or "Import from another Catalog" and does this depend on what I did in question one?
4. When I transfer all the images back to the desktop is it a merge as long as I choose the original folder as the destination i.e. will the old folder be overwritten with the newly imported edits?
5. Any pitfalls to be aware of?
