Combining My Lightroom Imported Referenced Catalog with Newly Imported Images

I'm moving from Lightroom to Capture One v22.

Yesterday, I successfully imported all 113,000 images into Capture One as referenced images, leaving them in place on my external hard drive.

Today I'd like to import images from my camera's flash card into the same catalog on that external drive, which has lots of extra space for new files.

How do I make sure the images will be copied onto the same folders as my referenced Lightroom images? Or at least onto that external drive?

Thanks for any help!

  Hi Joseph,

  When you import images, you can choose the destination folder (volume, files, etc...). Or I misunderstood your question ?

  Well I like to import as a Managed catalog, so maybe a more accurate question is:

  Now that I've imported a couple hundred image files and see that they're being copied to my (smallish) main hard drive, how do I move that managed catalog to the big hard drive and still have the catalog include all the Referenced images from yesterday's Lightroom import?

  I just tried this and it worked. I created a test catalogue on my iMac's drive, added a few referenced images, closed C1, copied the catalogue to an external drive and opened the copied catalogue - and all images were available.

  I assume it would work for you, but I'd copy the catalogue rather than move it - just in case. :-)

  Robert and Shane, Thank you so much for the quick replies today.

  I tried it too, and it worked great.

  I copied the managed catalog from my internal to the external drive, option-opened Capture One and created a fresh catalog, then imported both the referenced Lightroom Import catalog and the managed Capture One catalog (which only took a few minutes), and they all appear together in the library with no issues.

  (I used Capture One back in version 11 and gave it up for Lightroom because it was incredibly slow with my enormous image catalog. But Lightroom's interface never stopped driving me crazy, and I'm hoping that Capture One's slower speed doesn't drive me just as crazy. I do really like the interface, though. Still the best.)
