      Scott, Fantastic video, thank you for helping creating good habits with LR and organizing our images. I have a question regarding the external drive: which would you recommend…. A WD My Cloud external drive or just a regular non-cloud drive like the one in your video? Thank you in advance for your suggestion.

    Where have you been all of my life as a photographer, Scott Kelby???!!!! 🤗This was the most thorough, helpful and easy to understand tutorial on Lightroom organization EVER! And your humor made it all the better. 😁After using Lightroom for 13+ years I feel like I can finally get a handle on my digital library. Thanks a million to YOU and to B&H for making this presentation free for us to watch.

    This is brilliant. Thank you so much! I’ve started taking photos as a hobby and I was panicking about LR organization literally last night. Wasn’t even looking for videos about it just yet but then yours popped up on my feed and I’m so thankful for that 😊
    To the people saying “don’t follow his advice for this or that”: please share your opinion without discrediting his beautiful video. If it doesn’t work for you, that’s great, stick to what you like and if you really want to share with others the way it works for you, there are ways of doing so without sounding condescending ☺️

    I've purchased Lightroom 2 months ago but was stuck with the initial step to understand how to import and organize the photos so never used thinking it's a big drama. Not any more!! this video is a life savior and a Gem 💎. [Full shoot >> Picks >> Selects] is a game changer. Thank you Scott for such a nicely crafted video. Didn't feel that it's a 1 hour video and your sense of humor is at its best. Loads of Love ❤

    I am glad I watched this. This really simplifies my process. I was always struggling with picture management and disk space. This makes so much sense. I was going down the path of creating a new catalog for every trip that I went on (I do underwater photography mostly) mostly to free up disk space, but this works so much better. In just under an hour I have freed up so much space on my laptop.

    Hi Scott, Dude, its been awhile since we last spoke. I remember when LR first came out and we talked over the phone, LOL, many moons ago.. and after watching this, I just went in and deleted all my collections except for two, and will start over. In addition to that, I shared your post, and advised everyone to watch it. As usual, you re still taking me to school every time i watch one of your podcast or post.

    Scott- I started out with LRC so long ago but switched to Capture One after getting frustrated with doubles problems and that C1 thumbnails seemed more vibrant. I hung on to LR for over a year but did not use it - with the exception of visiting PS occasionally- until I viewed this video. A game changer for me! I am one of those who used to separate folders by dates because I couldn't figure out another better way,. It cost me alot of effort and reaped very poor results. I now put all my pics in collections in LR where they should have been from the beginning and I am sorting all my collections into pics. 5-star, and full shoot! I dumped C1 that was 3xs the cost since LR does everything I need it to do... and more. Now, pressing on to sorting all my over 100000 pics into collections. I must admit that I still run my files thru duplicate files cleaner before I download them in LRC
    - just to be sure. If you are new to LR- you are lucky you viewed this video first!

    Wow! I am so glad I found this! My hobby workflow has been similar to this using folders locally and Photoshop Express. I am moving into Lightroom and was appalled by the thought of organizing by date or having just one catalog. One catalog makes sense and your collection system is similar to how I do my folders and sub folders. I love it! Thanks for the great video!

    Thanks Scott. I switched to collections, but when I use "Enhance" or "edit in" I hardly ever then get that version added to the collection. I have to go back to folder, find it, and then add it manually to the collection. This is going to make me have to switch back if I can't figure out how to fix this

    There is a lot of really sage advice in this workshop. It helped me eliminate my analysis paralysis mentality of organizing my work. Just curious if anyone has any insight on differentiating between Film and Digital with this workflow?

    Great session, great information. Honestly, it just convinced me to stick to Apple Photos for the time being. The cloud sync and not having to manage the actual location of the files, plus the "Optimize Storage" option makes it so much better at organizing. It's not as powerful in adjustments but it's 80% there.
