Let me start by saying, I may be missing something obvious
Current set-up:
Desktop + 1tb external drive for all photos (photos organized in folders by shoot but not at all well keyworded)
Laptop + 100gb external drive generally do a shoot use it in Lightroom on laptop but don't do serious editing and when I get home I move the original files to my desktop setup and trash what was done on the laptop.
Also have a spare 320gb drive
Going away for a couple of weeks with my Laptop and want to spend time and organize and key word my files and test out Aperture.
Trying to figure out the best way to do this.
If I simply make a copy of all of the files from the 1tb drive on the 320gb, and work on all of it while away, what is the best way to get all of the information back into Lightroom on the desktop....won't all of the references of where the files are stored be screwed up? Do I simply need to take the 1tb drive with me and move a catalogue from the laptop back to the desktop (replacing my current catalogue)?
Would this be much easier in Aperture? I'm still debating my final solution.
