  • So I’ve finally lost my tag with Photos and moved (back) over to Lightroom.

    It has a far more involved Library feature set so I’m intrigued - how do people organise their images using flags, ratings and collections?

    I generally have images I like and publish online, images that are crap and images that are just meh. Im loathe to delete anything permanently unless it is technically bad, out of focus etc.

    How do folks deal with this then?

  • I don't use any features, flags, tags and whatnot, I just keep my stuff sorted chronologically in folders, seperated in digital and analog, and named with year-month, and 'event' / film type.

    Like
    F:\Digital\2018\2018-04_Teds-Birthday\
    or
    H:\Analog\2017\2017-11_T-Max_Spain

    This lets me find everything quite easily.

    Oh, and I delete the pictures that are really shit.

  • I download my files into chronologically named folders, then add to Lightroom. I tag each image with at least the camera name (even though I could use the metadata), usually a location and often some other detail to aid searching later. By adding to LR, I could choose to just delete the crap images just from LR, or from the folder as well, but generally I leave everything in LR. You could also tag/flag/score them and then use the filters to exclude them from the grid view?

    In the last few years I've taken lots of travel pics and I've started using collections to group my favourites. I used to use ratings to do this, but now I just quickly scroll through and add the ones I like to a quick collection and then save that.
