You're welcome Rich.


I think Trowski is right, though, when he says....


"As far as I know, if you only add a photo to Lightrooms catalog (not copying it), you can then only remove it from the catalog, not the catalog AND disk."


I'm curious......I'm going to have to see later when I get home. Maybe this only applies if you're importing straight from a CF card....whereas I first download to my HD then import to LR3...I'll have to see

Yup, but keep in mind that if you're going to keep the edited photos in your catalog AND move the originals, you need to tell LR3 where you have moved them to.


I thought I lost a whole whack of photos a while back when I moved (not copied but moved) the originals to an external HD to free up space on the internal HD. When I went back into LR3 to edit some more, there was a little question-mark in the top right hand corner of the thumbnail in the Library module basically saying "Lightroom can't find the photo because the photo has changed locations". After a bit of a freak-out, I found that right-clicking on the thumbnail and choosing "show in finder" a dialog pops up that will help LR3 find the new location and all will be good.

I haven't but I really haven't been using LR3 that long - just a few months.
