Lightroom, MacBook with limited internal storage - how to workwith several external USB sticks

Not Pros with decent GPUs what exactly is your family doing that requires a decent gpu? I have my reasons But not really relevant to this thread. photoshop and lightroom, sure, but that's *your* macbook. are *they* also doing photo editing? No, they're doing animation and audio/music work. And it's a better idea to put all the resource into one really good device that we can share for specialist work than have 2 half hearted machines. We all have cheap chromebooks or linux laptops for our daily work/school/consumer activities. Works for us! Is there any reasoning to that? Not being funny (or ungrateful to free advice) - I just like to understand the "why" it's a ****load of effort that is not only not needed, but begging to cause all sorts of problems. So mostly down to the number of devices then? it's down to manually doing work that a computer can do for you. do you really want to keep track of which photo is on which drive?? OK - I just didn't view that as much of a problem (I tend to put stuff together by year or group of years). and then there's the situation where you create collections that include photos from multiple drives. Ah - now that is interesting. I had not considered that. Good point. smart previews is designed for exactly the situation you describe, no additional hardware needed and no additional work required to use it. Yes - I was considering those. It was the logic of how best to manage the full sized file I was trying to get a better understand of. Thanks Tim |
