Hiding the catalog module is something I didn't know about. I'll have to look into that. I thought you had to create a catalog before you could actually open an image in LR.
For now, I'm spending my time trying to get up to speed with Capture One7 - they have a catalog system in this version that seems to be identical to LR but they also have another system called Sessions which is half way between clean and a catalog.
For the life of me, I wonder how people who have multiple computers and who move images around can ever just fire one up, find the image they were looking for and make a little tweak and print it.
I have 2 locations, 3 computers and two external HDDs that I archive to at the end of each month (and then copy files and physically transport to the 2nd one which is at the other location). I just don't see how I can do that in any of the catalog situations.
I still have a lot to learn about Capture One but it looks like it will do most of what photoshop does and a few things it doesn't. For sure the raw converter is equal to and most people feel better than ACR. I have to work through 20 years of photoshop-think to really evaluate CO7 properly.
If that doesn't work, I definitely have to do more research on LR ... But that ties me once again to Adobe...
