LR3 and upgrading

[cupic]

With the newer version out I would ask other users of LR4 if when upgrading do you
start with a clean version
ie deleted all catalogue of all backup etc or
do you keep them and integrate them into LR4

cheers

I did the upgrade, The install program asks if I wanted LR3 removed I said yes it left the catalogue and when it installed LR4 the existing catalogue was there it was great.

^ +1 ... no problems in upgrading. Catalogue was upgraded as well. Only issue may be if you have some LR3 presets that don't work the way you'd expect in LR4. Otherwise zero drama.

I installed my LR4 and it didnt ask me if I wanted to delete LR3 and also what I found was that
it created a location in my C drive under my picture light room backup and some date which it picked in June 2011

Would I be best off deleted the lot and starting around and also where would catalogued go
Is there a way to create mu own locating in a external hdd for my catalogued

cheers

An updated
I copy my catalogue over to my external HDD then deleted it off my internal HDD and
when opening LR it asked where is was so I made another route now all is good

I also upgraded from LR3 to 4 without any issues. LR4 found the version 3 catalogue without any problems.
