PL5: Moving files outside PL loses corrections and more

The simplest and safest approach would be to copy your image-storage file structure from the old-PC to the new one. Then open those folders with PL on the new PC … and PL will build a fresh, new database.

Which implies the following assumptions;

  • You have sidecar/.dop files for all your images (as they will contain all corrections for their images, which PL will use to create the new database).

  • You don’t care about some non-correction stuff that’s not stored in sidecar files … See the top of my previous post for a list of these.
