The solid state drive on My MacBook Air is nearly full. A huge amount of the data on it is in my photos database. I understand it is possible to keep the photos database “off-site” on an external hard drive, with the disadvantage that photos can then be edited only when the drive is connected to the computer.
I also understand there are two ways to move the photos database to an external drive so that Lightroom is aware of their existence: (1) access the external drive from within Lightroom and then copy of the files within Lightroom, (2) move the files to the external drive outside Lightroom then having Lightroom “find the missing files.” Have I got the options right? If so my inclination is to use the second method. I don’t relish the though of dragging the folders for my entire database around in Lightroom. Any opinions or precautions about this?
