    Mg33 have you tried the various ways to organize photos in Lightroom?

    • Yes. Keywords for everything, larger groupings above such as Places, People, Clients, Types of Photos (textures, oceans, street, etc.)mg33
    • I review imported photos and apply a single star to good photos. As I edit them, change label to green.mg33
    • Then I go through green labels to pick best of those, change label to purple. Then from those, the ones I want to actually use, maybe 10-12 max, get blue labelsmg33
    • That way at any one time I can tell if I've selected or edited anything, and if I liked it enough to go further with.mg33
    • I rate stars 1-5. Edit only the 5's, but if I go back I look through the others. The 0's I never look at again. I use colors for specific purposesformed
    • Then I use the organization groups for specific purposes, like magazine publicationsformed
    • Lr is superb for this, what it was made for.formed
    • I also make folders w/in the date/imports: Edits, Finals, Small (edits are files with layers, Finals are high res export jpgs, Small is for FB, etc.)formed
    • All that and mg33 has a spread sheet on top of that! He's machine!!pango
    • I typically import into date folders. with varies keywords on batch or individuals. Then use collection folder for photos in the same projects but differentpango
    • dates. Stars for editing priorities. can't find a use for labels tho. i just key word everything.... lolpango
    • I do the same, but in Bridge instead (the stars and color label)Bennn
