[Leica] OT: Moving Files In & Out of LR

[Robert Adler]

This seems to answer the question. It's the last "question" she addresses:

http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-evangelists-julieanne-kost/questions-about-lightroom-and-photo-management/

My mistake was when I exported the images I wanted to work on from my
"studio" to my laptop, I then imported them to a larger catalog on my
laptop, then exported them to another catalogue after working on them.

Now I think I've got it. Thanks to all who've been so helpful.
