Synchronize x plus4/7/2023 I do a fair amount of travel photography and therefore have created a set-up where I run Lightroom on both systems and keep them synchronized. I work on Macs and use both an iMac desk-top and a MacBook Pro notebook. This may seem like an indirect answer to the question but it involves moving Lightroom catalogs and images between two hard drives, not on a once off basis but continuously - synchronizing two systems. No need to manually move photos one at a time or anything else. Just pick the same root folder on the hard drive you moved your photo library to, and LR will instantly update the catalog. You will then be able to find the new location of that folder on disk. In the Library module, under the Folders panel, right-click each root folder that is missing, and click "Find missing folder.". Assuming you wish to maintain the same folder structure in the new location, you can simply move your existing root photo image file folders from one drive to the other. Moving actual master photo files is also pretty easy. It can be quite large, however, and it might be easier to just delete the old one and let lightroom regenerate previews at the new location. You can move this if you don't want to regenerate your thumbnail previews. Usually co-located with the catalog is the thumbnail cache, a folder with the same name as the catalog, plus " Previews.lrdata" tacked on the end. The catalog is a self-contained file, all of your edits, history, snapshot information, etc. To move an entire lightroom catalog, you can start by moving the catalog file itself.
