Using lightroom/ps cc on iMac and pc laptop

Fri 23-Jun-17 09:37 PM | edited Fri 23-Jun-17 09:38 PM by Oppyrider
Hi all

I recently started using Lightroom cc.
I have it installed on a windows based laptop and an iMac desktop 27". So far I have only been using it on the laptop as is newer, has a faster processor and 16gb of ram. iMac is older 2010 model with only 4gb ram, but does have the big 27" monitor.
I have all my photos on a separate external HD which can be read on both machines.

My question is, if I want to use LR on both computers, using the one external HD is that possible? Or would it be better to have two separate drives and separate catalogues, one for each machine? Can I have one LR catalogue to use on both computer?

I may be making life unnecessarily complicated but thought I'd see if anyone does anything similar.

Regards

Andrew
