Hey all
Just looking for some opinions & guidance before I paint myself into a corner & cause extra work for myself...
I've got LR although only tickled around the edges so far but looking to spend a bit more time on togging so better to get things in order now. (I will be spending time going through some LR tutorials too and it may well be the answer is in there - but I'm always a fan of asking real people just how they're doing things!)
I'm an old school DOS Dinosaur so my inclination is to always manually shuffle files around in separate folders for each event/trip/shoot whatever it may be. But I'm thinking I may be a bit out of date thanks to LR's cataloguing abilities and there may well be a better way or doing stuff. (Space & backup isn't an issue, I'm all over that side of things from my day job).
So can anyone give a walkthrough of how they treat files from arriving home with a memory card through to printing please? Do you dump them in a temporary folder? Throw them into a year/month folder or all into the huge LR bucket and rely on tagging to sort them from within LR? File them somewhere else after LR?
Thanks folks!
