Thanks Wim Hi Wim - Assuming you've used defaults for everything, you'll find these files in My Pictures/Lightroom. But, you're better off exporting your catalog from the Windows computer and importing in on the Mac since the path information will be different between the machines - you'd need to sync your catalog otherwise. Hope this helps! Jon -------------------- Jon Canfield

Hope this helps! Jon Hi Jon, thank you for your answer. Is my interpreatation correct that I need to export from the windows pc to my Mac files called: My Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom catalog Preview? The other files found there 'back ups' for example, can I leave there. Thanks Wim |
