PH-1 Photo Organization in Lightroom with Pamela Cather

PH-1 Photo Organization in Lightroom

Wednesdays, 1 Session

Sept. 4;

As photographers we love to shoot photos.  But what do we do with them?  Which ones do we keep? And most importantly - How in the world do I find that one photo I took a few years back? 

We will be working with Lightroom Classic to organize our photos.   Using hands-on exercises, I’m going to explain to you where I store my photos on my hard drive and how I get them there. I’ll show you how I use the rating stars and colors to select what to keep and what to delete, allowing me to cull my images very quickly. I’ll explain the keyword hierarchy I use, making keywording easy and allows for quick image retrieval. 

My goal will be to give you as many tips and tricks as possible along the way, so that when you leave you’ll be ready to use my system or devise one of your own. 

What to bring:

You will need to bring a Laptop with the most current version of Lightroom Classic already loaded on it.  Many of the ideas, but maybe not all, will transfer to use in Lightroom, Lightroom Mobile and older versions of Lightroom Classic.  But, if you want to follow along you will need the most current version of Lightroom Classic on a laptop. 

To follow along you will also need to bring approximately 100 photos on a Flash drive. Please make these JPG files (not RAW) to save class time.  There must be at least 3 different types of photos (animals, people, buildings, landscapes, etc) AND they must be from at least 3 different locations and dates.

If you’re not already using the most current version of Lightroom Classic…..

You can get a free 7 day Trial.  

READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY Go to the link below and download the free trial for the $19.99 a month - 1T Lightroom and Photoshop plan. Then download Lightroom Classic onto your laptop before coming to class. I suggest that you don’t do this until the day before the class so you have a few days of use before the trial is over. 

Once the class is over you can either keep it, cancel it or switch to the $9.99 a month - 20gb plan that I use.  

DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT download the Lightroom only plan.  It does not contain Lightroom Classic.
