When you discover there is pictures in another catalog by looking at my info. Can you then merge pictures from the smaller catalog into the main catalog that was created in the correct path and has most of my pictures? Any special keys or things to watch for when merging?

Thank you very much!

You can merge easily using the "Import from Catalog" feature, pointing to the *.lrcat file of the "smaller" (to be imported) catalog. A few things to consider:


  • If you want to leave your originals where they are now, specify "Add new photos to catalog without moving"
  • If you have duplicate photos in both catalogs, you have the option to create a Virtual Copy of the image in the target catalog, making the imported one the master image

BGossweller thank you for the tips. I felt I had enough duplicates and it worked great.

Thanks Again!
