Working with multiple catalogs
For most photographers using Lightroom, working with one main catalog
will be best. But there will inevitably be cases where using multiple catalogs
can help.
Consider that through the import and synchronize processes, a single
Lightroom catalog “knows” about certain photos and the work you've done
to them; if you import pictures into one catalog, and later work on them in a
dif erent catalog, whatever you did in the previous catalog will not be visible in
the latter catalog unless you sync data between the catalogs.
For this reason, I think using multiple catalogs should only be a consideration
when you've really got a handle on the database concepts of Lightroom.
From that foundation, you'll i nd all kinds of ways to use multiple catalogs to
empower your workl ow.
Import from catalog on network
Although Lightroom currently can't directly open a catalog over a network,
you CAN import from a catalog on a network drive! If you're in a workgroup
environment, with multiple people needing to access the same data, you can
set up a system using publish services and import from catalog to make sure
everybody's in sync.
About catalog locations and naming
Lightroom can open and work with a catalog in a location on any local drive.
Also, you can use any name for a Lightroom catalog. (Obviously, you wouldn't
want to have multiple catalogs with the same name… that's a recipe for
disaster.)
