I would plug-in an external hard drive at this point and save this exported catalog to that hard drive. STEP TWO: This brings up a dialog box asking you where you want to save this newly exported catalog. If you work in Folders, rather than Collections, it would say “Export this Folder…”. STEP ONE: Once you’ve finished sorting and editing your images on your laptop, right-click (Mac: Ctrl-click) on your Collection or in my case, Collection Set and from the pop-up menu that appears, choose “Export this Collection Set as a Catalog” as shown above (of course, if you clicked on a Collection, rather than a Collection Set, it would read “Export this Collection as a Catalog” instead. This process is way easier than you might think, and on Monday one of our readers here asked how it’s done since they were struggling with it, so today I’ll take you step-by-step through the process (again, much easier than you’d think). I took my laptop to China with me and did my sorting and editing there. ![]() If you travel with your laptop (like I do), you want to be able to sort and edit on that laptop, but then when you get back home, you want to have all those edits and sorting to somehow move those images and edits over to Lightroom on your main home computer. Hey, ya never know, right?

And, if you participated in the Worldwide Photo Walk last week, Monday is the deadline to enter the photo contest ![]() Hope you’ll have a chance to check them out: here’s the link. Also, I just shared my favorite shots from my recent workshop in rural China
