I've had Lightroom 4 for a few months now and think it's an amazing tool....but if you're like me, a pragmatist, I just wanted to dive in and get going....of course that way I missed some of the important processes or just by-passed the little tweaks and presets that make the workflow that much easier.


This video was posted on Adobe's facebook page, and having watched it, I think anyone new to Lightroom would be interested....so if you haven't already seen it......here's the link

I only watched a few minutes.
I do not believe creating so many different catalogues for different types of shot is best practice.

I can perhaps see the advantage for say a wedding photographer having a catalogue for each wedding but just as easy to use smart collections within the same catalogue.

There is a perfectly valid argument for separating personal work from business work into separate catalogues though.

Quote: LR seems to just show the lowest level folder name

It shows all levels for me.



Folder Tree

Lightroom Library>2009>20090404_hevercastle

Hover over the folder icon to see the path
( Volumes refers to an external hard drive )

I'm with you all the way on that Jeff. It gets too complicated.
