Being able to organize thousands of photos dynamically by tags, date, etc, is enormously productive, as opposed to only having a single, static hierarchy through which to find photos. For instance, I could quickly retrieve all scenic photos across our entire collection.
- komali2 8y agoDid not even realize tagging existed... but does that mean all photos must be in the same library? For example my workflow is usually Pull pictures off camera manually into a date-named folder Open lightroom, click "new catalog" Put catalog into named date folder Import those photos (import without move option) Work on those photos, use the slider catalog thing at the bottom to filter by flagged (the ones I edited and like), then ctrl+a and export.
- RussianCow 8y agoIt's been several years since I've used it, so I could be completely wrong, but yes, I believe that kind of filtering only works at the catalog level, so all of your photos would have to be in the same catalog to gain that benefit. When I used it, I only had one catalog that encompassed my entire photo library. My impression is that Lightroom is really designed for you to go "all in" and let it organize everything.
