Scaning to catalog

[Brian08]

Hello all
I have a big array of hard drives as a photo archive that I am trying to get, into PM, on a Windows 10 PC. I am doing this by scanning the catalogue. I made a new catalogue to do this. I would like to know if when scanning I have two catalogues I am scanning them to the default one and the archive one is it best to just add them to the archive catalogue, please? I don't know if that is the best way off doing such a lot of photos in one go?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Having two catalogs active for "Add/Modify" will make the two catalogs exactly the same.  Unless you're doing this for backup purposes, there's really no need to do this.

Scan to Catalog is the primary way of doing this.  You can also use Catalog Sync for this, but it's more complex.
