If I wanted to use LR CC in the following situations,  #1, is it possible?
#2, What Image and sidebar and catalog files do I need to put where to make
this work...?

 

 

Scenario #1...  I am on a trip.  I have a PC with me.  I take images and
wish to review them and sort out the bad ones in LR CC while on the road.
The images will be located on a USB HDD ( Downloaded from the SD Card.)
When I get home I wish to merge them into my master file on my desktop PC
with all edits intact.  ( I think this is what the merge catalog function is
used for.?).

 

Scenario #2 ( and not mutually exclusive to the first scenario...)  I am
home.  My PC  computer is on a home WIFI network, located in my office.  All
my images are on that computer.  I have a backup USB HDD with the same
images on it that I COULD use.  I wish to edit my images from a Laptop ( PC)
in another room in the house.  Same questions.. How do I best access the
images from a remote location?  What files must I access to make this
scenario work?  Ideally, I should be modifying the file on the office
computer so that I really only have 1 set of files in play.  I COULD use the
external USB HDD if required as a temporary vehicle.. But this is less than
ideal.

 

I could not be the only shmuck in the world that wants to do this...  So it
SHOULD be possible.  Figuring it out is what frustrates me..

It WAS easier with contact sheets..

 

TIA
