Okay so my process is this:
1. Put Sd card in computer and copy the photos into my EXTERNAL HD.
2. Open lightroom and import those photos into lightroom from the external hd but the destination of import is STILL the external Hard drive (almost like I'm just moving the files into lightroom to edit them thats it).
3. Edit my photos and export the finished edits back onto the external HD
I must be doing something wrong though because due to the small size of my macbook HD (256 GB) I want to keep the ENTIRE process on external drives..
Somehow, the RAW files are still ending up somewhere in my mac.. HELP!?!?
My mac HD is now full with files considered "Other" which indicates that they are RAW canon files..
My question is this.. How do I keep the entire importing/editing/exporting process on my external HD??
HELP!?! I'm on a trip and will be taking 1000s of photos and need to know this ASAP b/c now its saying I can't use lightroom because I have no disk space.. I DONT EVEN WANT TO USE MY COMPUTERS DISK!!! Thank you all.
