But I use the same equipment for my personal photography. I
like the idea of using my work computer for the catalog, because of
the automated backups, and the massive amount of HD space I have here
as opposed to home. If I purchase the photographer's Lightroom CC for
photographers ($9.99/mo) and put the catalog on my work computer, can
I still edit images in the catalog from home?
i could be wrong, but to me the "cloud" features in Lightroom don't
seem quite ready for a "store once, edit anywhere" workflow, so i
think sneakernet is would be the simplest way to accomplish this;
Stanley outlined how to work with portions of your catalog, but i'd be
inclined to just transport the whole thing (images plus catalog)
external hard drives are really cheap these days (5GB for < $150); i
would get a couple and be careful with backups, because schlepping
hard drives increases the risk of failure or loss
One can obtain a TB of external Disk storage for under $100 with prices
falling per TB as the size of the drive increases. Then there's the
MyCloud network enabled drives from WD which promises personal cloud
storage emanating from one's home network. I wouldn't store any
personal photos permanently on a work computer ever, nor would I install
personally paid for software with any kind of limited EULA, such as
Adobe's two computer limit. Their server doesn't know you don't own the
computer one copy is on, and if your employer lets you go, takes back
your work computer and photos and doesn't uninstall your Adobe software
you could find it impossible to install a new second copy.
How would you recommend
setting things up to differentiate between my personal and work
images?
sounds like you would want to create separate catalogs; i suggest your
personal photography should be on a external drive that you bring to
and from work
What happens if I do this and ever leave my place of employment?
i wouldn't mingle the photos — keep separate catalogs from the start
