[Leica] Lightroom merge

[Nathan Wajsman]

I do the same—when travelling, I process images on my laptop and when I get home, I import them into the master LR catalog on the desktop. I do not connect the two computers, though. My routine consists of copying the laptop catalog onto a USB stick (I use a 64 GB one) just before starting the trip home—this way I also have a backup should something happen to the laptop. Then at home I simply import from the USB stick.

Cheers,
Nathan
