How do I move photos from laptop to desktop WITH Lightroom Edits?

I have Lightroom on my laptop and on my desktop. 
I've just done a big shoot with my camera tethered to Lightroom on my laptop, and applied some develop settings as the photos were imported.  I also did a little cropping and a few other adjustments when I stopped shooting for lunch.
Now, I'd like to move these photos with the edit history to my desktop machine because it's got the big guns for processing photos.
How do I do this?  There must be a way! 
Thanks so much!
--Michael

In LR on the laptop, in the Library module select the photos you want to move.
"Export as catalog".
On the desktop, in LR "import from catalog" using the exported catalog.
Or you could just import the whole laptop catalog depending on your needs.

  • At sea trying to move photos from laptop to desktop

    I have two copies of LR 1.41. The desktop runs Vista Home Premium SP1 and the laptop runs XP SP3.
    Please, someone give me a straighforward way to move these files so that the edits show up in the desktop. I have tried exporting, exporting as a catalog (?), and some other things. (I cannot be the only photographer who uses a laptop in the field and a desktop at home and who does not want to burn numerous DVDs.) How can this simple task be done readily, please?

    Hi Adrian,
    You start off with one folder on one computer, and it contains files 1, 2, 3 etc. If you goto prefferences, you can set it so that LR carries the changes you've made to each file in a side car file which will be saved (by LR) alongside the original files. So you now have your files and sidecar files sitting along side each other in the same folder, ie 1, 1.xmp, 2, 2.xmp, 3, 3.xmp etc. When you want to use the other computer you simply copy over the folder onto the other computer and import them. If you then make any changes to the files, these changes will be held within the xmp side car files. If you then want to take these changes back to the original folder on the original computer, just select the xmp side car files and copy them into your original folder (overwriting the ones that were there). The trick then is to ensure that LR "sees" these changes - this you do by "synchronising" the folder, and telling it to "scan for meta data updates" (all in the synchronise folder dialog box).

  • How do I move photos from one aperture library to another?

    How do I move photos from one library to another?
    Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.
    Thanks

    That is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
    The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library.

    How do I move photos from imovie to iphoto?

    You cannot put photos in a trailer. They are designed for videos.
    However, there is a way around this.
    Go to the Project Library view. Select your Trailer. Now, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    Now you can add photos.

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to new PC or Mac?

    We are in the market for a new computer.  I want a Mac (of course!) but my husband and our budget are more comfortable with a PC.  My question is how do we move photos from our old Mac to a new comp?  Can it be done via a network?  I assume it is easier from Mac to Mac.  We do not have an external hard drive and our old comp is very outdated.  The version of iPhoto used is 6.0.6 and OS is OS X, 10.4.11.  We cannot do any further updating to either the application or OS.  We do have both an iPod and iPad but neither can even be synced with this current computer!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    For a PC select all photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder. Move that folder to the PC
    For a Mac copy the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    The connection can be a network, a cable or even an external hard drive you move to the new system or a DVD if it will hold everything
