The name is not important but will be helpful if it's something descriptive about the shoot so you know what the files are when you see it on your hard drive. When the Export as Catalog window pops up, you can give the catalog were exporting a name in the Save As: field. With the folder(s) selected, you can now go to the File menu and choose Export as Catalog… You can select the parent folder which will select all folders and photos inside to be transferred. I also organize my photos with all my raw images in a folder named "Raw" which then reside in another folder with the date and description of the shoot. If you organize your photos by date you can be certain only those folders selected will be transferred and not others that could also be in a Collection from another date. I prefer to select multiple folders in the Folders panel so I know only the photos from certain dates or shoots will be selected. You can add the photos you want to transfer to a Collection, select a single or multiple folders in the Folders panel, or select one of the categories in the Catalog panel such as All Photographs.
Exporting the Catalogįirst, you'll need to select all the photos you want to transfer inside the Library module of Lightroom and this can be done a few ways. You'll also need to make sure the photos are online and do not have a question mark on the folder or grayed out. Once you know the amount of data that will need to be transferred you can make sure you have a large enough drive to perform the move. You can check to see how much data is in a folder by doing a Control-click (Mac OS) or Right-click (Windows) on a folder in the Folders panel while in the Library module then choosing Get Info (Mac OS) or Properties (Windows) from the pop up menu. This could be as large as 200Gb if you are transferring a large set of photos or as little as 1Gb.
