Files must actually be on your hard drive, or your computer must be connected to a storage media that contains the files, for Adobe Bridge to show them. Because Lightroom Classic uses a catalog to keep track of the photos, you can preview photos in Lightroom Classic whether they are physically on the same computer as the software. Lightroom Classic offers flexibility in managing, organizing, and editing photos because your photos can be anywhere — on the same computer with the Lightroom Classic application, on an external hard disk, or perhaps on a network drive.
Because the catalog stores a preview of each photo, you can work with your photos in Lightroom Classic and see your editing changes as you work. And all the while, Lightroom Classic doesn't touch your original photo files. It's wise to approach your work in Lightroom Classic with some forethought. You can move catalogs and photos, put photos in multiple catalogs, and combine or merge catalogs, but doing so can be confusing.
In addition, links between your catalog and your photos may break. Follow these steps to plan your catalog setup and to minimize having to shuffle catalogs and photos around between computers and drives.

Scripting and querying Lightroom's database. Thread starter ron Start date Jun 27, Status Not open for further replies. Hi, I've been using Apple Aperture for many years, and with Apple stopping development of Aperture, I'm now looking for another solution. When I started with Aperture, I compared it against Lightroom. At the time, I actually liked Lightroom better, but I'm a programmer, and I was able to figure out how to access and control Aperture's database via perl scripts, and being able to customize and automate Aperture was the reason I chose it.
My scripts can also rearrange the photos and projects inside of Aperture. When I take new photos, my scripts automatically organize and place the photos on disk and in Aperture in the right hierarchy. They also copy the files to my wife's computer and update her Aperture database as well. Is there anything similar with Lightroom? I've looked around a bit, but all I can find is the ability to create plug-ins via Lua. Is there any way for a script to query the Lightroom database?
Is there any way to have a script tell Lightroom to import photos? Does Lightroom support Applescript? Thanks for any help, and my apologies if this information is somewhere else. I did spend a bit of time searching around, but I couldn't find anything which makes me think that I won't be able to do with Lightroom what I want to do.
