You can use Lightroom to organise the files by collection within its catalogue; photographs are not limited to being in one collection. You can also use keywords and various metadata to search and to set up 'smart' collections, which are essentially named searches. Because LR can do all of this, I don't do any organisation of the files outside of LR. I import all the photographs into the same folder on disk, and use the camera-assigned name for the file. I see no point in organising them outside LR in parallel with LR. Other people take a different view and have their own organisation on disk, and various strategies are recommended by the authors of LR books. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
