I keep all my images on a single external drive. Lightroom can access images on multiple drives and or locations. When merging catalogs, it is easier (if desired) to move the files into the new file structure before the merge.

Use Lightroom, open the old catalog, move the files. Once the files are moved into the new location, merge the catalogs.


I just export as a catalog and then import as a catalog and all of 90,000 images are in one folder and on one external drive....makes it all very easy. I'm usually only exporting/importing the metadata, which is very quick and easy. The metadata synchs up with the already imported original file. I do wish people could write out things in explicit fashion so others might have the opportunity to actually understand the process.

That is great if all your pictures are in one place.

I really wish people were less willing to offer unsolicited opinions on others.
