When you import/copy images into Lightroom and you create subfolders, those folders will actually be created on your computer, wherever you’ve saved them. I save my film and digital images in separate folders, but do what works for you! I can easily find images that I’m looking for. I have my images saved by year > month > session. Lightroom Foldersįolders are how you organize your images. If that’s your thing, you do you! For me personally, I would find it a little annoying to have to open up a different catalog when flipping through images, and I don’t think that would allow you to use collections as effectively (see below). Some photographers use a different catalog for every session they shoot. You can see the name of your catalog by looking at the gray bar at the very top of your Lightroom. So I have a “January 2018” catalog at the moment. When my Lightroom seems slow or it takes too long to back it up, I create a new catalog and name it with the month that I’ve started it. I create a new Lightroom Catalog every 6-12 months. You can always go back to your images in Lightroom and see what edits you made and revert back to the original, as long as you have the catalog that you used to edit the image. The edits aren’t applied to an image until you export them. It knows what preset you used on each image. It doesn’t hold the actual applied changes, but, for example, it knows that you adjusted the exposure, color temperature, shadows of image 734. Simply put, a Lightroom catalog houses the “edits” of your photos. “Wait, what’s the difference between a Lightroom catalog, folder, and collection?” Let me go ahead and try to explain it (because it took me too long to figure it all out). One topic that has come up numerous times is Lightroom catalogs.

It helps to have a friend that is just a call away when you need to talk to someone! We bounce ideas off of each other, troubleshoot, and offer advice on how to be more efficient with our time. Over the course of the last year I’ve started communicating with a few of them regularly, as we don’t necessarily have coworkers with us day to day. Many of them included meeting other photographers at workshops or through social media. At the beginning of 2018, I made a list of my favorite memories from 2017.
