Next column shows all the folders inside of the _2021 December folder. In my first column to the right of PICTURES I created a folder _2021 December (for work that I will be creating this month). Way at the left I have the Apple folder PICTURES. I’ve opened the “Finder” tool on my desktop computer, and it shows only my photos since December 2021 currently on my desktop. I think it will allow me to copy folders from my laptop onto my desktop in an organized way.

This may or may not be helpful to others. Don’t try to use peer mode, unless you’re comfortable with having disparate collections in several places (like mixing knives, spoons, forks, pans and dishes in the same drawer) Still, Spoke will be deleted regularly, which makes it less of a peer. I use Spoke for testing mostly and for those rare cases when I really want to have it with me.

PhotoLab has nothing to support that yet.įorget peer mode! Note: I can say this because that’s what I tried with my iMac (HUB) and MacBook Air (Spoke) computers. If you really want two (or more) computers to work as peers, things are getting complicated, as you’ll have to synchronise the computers on a regular basis. Spraying new images all over SPOKE and customising (on SPOKE) images in older branches will inevitably lead to a mess that will take a lot of time to sort out and that might also produce some loss in effort you put in your images. When back home, copy new branches, on HUB, to the appropriate place While traveling, only work new images, LEAVE ALL OTHER IMAGES ALONE While traveling, copy new images, on SPOKE, to the appropriate place,Ĭreate branches (YYYY-MM-DD Occasion > YYYY-MM-DD Occasion Details) if necessary While the other computer will be the “SPOKE” Photos > YYYY > YYYY-MM-DD Occasion > YYYY-MM-DD Occasion Details Keep all your images in one structure, using something like the example shown below Let’s see how we can do a) without the b)…starting with your saying that you use PL for customising only. Working with PhotoLab on more than one computer can a) be done or b) get you an incredible mess. Will PhotoLab 3 open files created by PhotoLab 5 ?

Will PhotoLab 4 open files created by PhotoLab 5 ? Plan “C” could be to put all my images on a fast network drive that I could access from any of my computers.īefore I try to set this up, am I missing something? Will things work as I expect?

Plan “B” which is easier, is to simply move or copy all my images from my MacBook Pro to my iMac. I doubt I would ever really need to do this though. Unless I’m missing something, this should work fine for my desktop and laptop, but I suspect my backup computer, with PhotoLab 4 installed, might not open image with “.dop” files configured for PhotoLab 5. That way I can connect it to any of my computers, and edit any of the images. up with is to buy yet another external drive, and move ALL my photos to it. Specifically, right now I want to edit the photos I took last week, and I prefer working on the larger calibrated display on my Mini. Right now I have most of my images on my Mac Mini, but from all my trips locally and overseas, those photos are on the MacBook Pro.

My question is how to set up a single storage area for my images.

(After buying PhotoLab 5 I installed my previous version of PhotoLab 4 on a different (backup) iMac computer, and if I ever needed to, which I don’t expect, I still have a license for PhotoLab 3.) When I’m home I use the Mini, but when I’m traveling it’s the MacBook Pro. Currently I have PhotoLab 5 on my 2018 Mac Mini desktop, and also on my 2015 MacBook Pro laptop.
