Re-importing in LR

Hi,

In order to work on my laptop while I am travelling, I have exported images from LR (2.5) as a catalog. Then I importen them on my laptop so that I can work on this. Now that I am finished working on them and need to put them back on my main server's LR, what is the best way to do this? Should I export these images as a catalog from my laptop and then import the catalog on my server? What about the same images that already exist on my server?

Thank you.

Yep, you've got the idea. Using the catalog import/export, it'll take all of the data with it. When you get to the Import from Catalog dialog, it'll ask you what to do with existing files - copy them, just update their settings, etc.

Just do backups before you run it the first time, just so you can go back and redo something if it doesn't work the way you expect.

Thank you Victoria. I will give it a shot. Thanks for the remind on backup as well. Even though I have the backup set to once a day, I sometime skip it
