Lightroom Tutorial : Receiving Completed Job (Video)

In this video, we will go over the process of importing a completed job back to our master catalog.

Steps

1.  Open either your master catalog or the original Lightroom catalog used to submit to ShootDotEdit. 
   
   
2. In Finder/Explorer find the zipped Lightroom catalog you downloaded from the email sent by ShootDotEdit. 
   
   
3. Drag the zipped Lightroom file onto your desktop and double-click to unzip and open.

6. Go to "File/Lightroom" -> "Import from Another Catalog" on the drop down menu.
