It took a long time (several hours) to move my images from a backup HD that was attached to my new MacBook Pro computer. Now using Time Machine over my wireless LAN to back to a RAID HD. This looks like this is going to take days!

It can take a long time the first time. After the first backup, if you change to sync, then it will be quicker and keep everything in sync with the main drive.

Thank you. I'll look into that "sync" thing. Time Machine reports that it will be done in 53 more minutes.

When you sync, only changes are copied. If you delete a file, it is deleted. If you add our change a file they are copied. A lot faster.

Once you have the LRCAT, the next issue may be the path names to the files. So if those are changed, you just have to find the highest 'path' in the folder structure and update inside LR. The change should cascade down.

Say your pictures were in something like: \red-drive\picture\so-forth

But now, you've renamed the drive and / or folder to \new-SSM\pictures\so-forth

You just 'find parent' within the folder display inside the correct LRCAT with LR open, then right-click that old name (\red-drive) and select "update folder location". With the "new-SSM" attached to the computer, just navigate within the OS window and 'point' LRc to that folder. If all your image files where 'missing', this update will cascade through the LR library correcting all the missing images.

If in this example "\red-drive" remains unchanged and available to the new computer, installing and opening the LRCAT should make everything 'as is' on the new computer.

I wish I had listened to you, but now I'm in the process recreating the data base to find my photos. I had a lot junk and duplication in my photos that I'm cleaning up. This will take a long time but now I'm committed to this time consuming path.

I just got off the phone with Adobe tech help (India) and they helped me install the M1 version of LrC and Ps. Everything is going remarkable fast now in terms of computer speed!

Thank you for your help.

OK, we all learn, many times the hard way first. If the end result is a better culled, better cataloged, better organized portfolio of images, so much the better.
