For a number of reasons, I am looking to be able to edit images on a laptop as well as on my current Windows desktop PC. As of today I have a legacy perpetual license of Lightroom and Photoshop on the PC and all my images and Lightroom catalog files reside on that PC.
My confusion lies in how the Lightroom catalog is configured and located when editing Lightroom from two machines (obviously not concurrently). From what I can tell Adobe only allows the catalog to resided on the computer that is being used at the time, as opposed to for example, having the catalog on the cloud. If that is the case, I suppose one could sync the catalog between machines, however that seems very time consuming and potentially prone to problems.
Seems like Adobe allow 2 copies for LR to be installed as long as only one is used at a time, however if a catalog cannot be shared between machines it seems to defeat the purpose of having LR installed on two machines?
Has anyone recommendations as to how to deal with this ?
Thanks
