WOW!!!! Thank you so much for your video. I feel more comfortable now organizing my files and navigating through Lightroom. You have been the first person to take the time and cover details when explaining how importing and organizing are done. I loved how clearly you explained everything.

Good information. You are too close to the mike.

Far too complicated. It's much easier to create a folder, copy files and then sync top level folder in lightroom. All images will be imported into lightroom.

This was brilliant!!

Dave, thanks for a great video. I like the way you march right through the content at a good pace. I lose interest when a video drags everything out. I thought I knew organization pretty well but you have shown some features that were new to me and will help me immensely. Thank you.

Very helpful video, thank you.

Dave, thanks for sharing your import process. I'm always looking for new ideas or different approaches to organizing my image library. I prefer to have Lightroom organize my images into year/month/day folders automatically and then add a descriptive text to the folder created by Lightroom. As you pointed out, LR can read the date from the image metadata and it will automate everything you shared up to the description - this includes creating new folders as needed, in the correct annual archive format you shared. Pease know, I'm not saying your process is bad or wrong, just commenting there is an automated way built into Lightroom to get to the same place. I do want to caution your viewers (if they read this far) that your recommendation to "Show in Finder" and then reorganize images into new folders will break the link to those photos in Lightroom. You can move images in Lightroom Folders but if you move images in Finder or explorer (or any program outside of Lightroom) those images will be marked with a notification that Lightroom does not know where the images are. Thanks for sharing your process.

Afraid by 8:20 I was completely confused about what would be imported. How do I import the RAW file rather than just a thumbnail or jpg? I think there's something missing in the explanation about what is imported to Lightroom.

Wow. Exactly what I needed. It’s the best video I’ve watched and I watched a few. Informative and easy to follow. Great job! Huge thanks from London.

Very clear, hugely informative, steadily paced and very helpful indeed. Thank you Dave.

Thank You! Great explanations. Clear concise and descriptive! Kudos! 😊.

Just Learning or I should say trying to learn lightroom and this video is so much different than the ones I watched prior....Great Job Mr. Kelly...Just subscribed so hopefully be watching and learning more from you...Thanks for sharing this information

I don't think the Minimal JPG preview is "converted back to RAW" for the Develop module. Makes my brain hurt.

Question: I have always organized photos in Collections - a) should I change photos to Folders & b) how do I accomplish that? Also, what exactly is the difference between Collection & Folders? Thank you so much - your video is very clear & concise.

Great lesson to organize Lightroom! This issue has been causing me troubles for years! Dave is the best teacher on this subject, plus he is easy to listen to! I’m so happy I’ve found him and eager to listen to more from Dave!!!

Be careful when moving folders…move the folders in Lightroom Classic….NOT IN FINDER/EXPLORER! Otherwise Lightroom will lose the connection to where they are in Finder/Explorer

Dave - I love this. Wish I’d had this simple explanation when I started about 6 years ago. It’s by far the easiest and most logical step by step process I’ve yet seen. There was nothing that made sense to me when I started. Luckily my file system is in a very similar year/subject folder system which is easy for me. Not sure it has all the finesse bits that yours does but it would require a massive amount of reorganisation, or start again with a new hard drive (I think). Cheers 👍

Thanks Dave..... very informative. My issue at the moment is trying to migrate to LR classic from PS. I have been using PS/Bridge and CR since 2007 and have decided that I might like LR more. I have an existing file structure based on how PS imports photos. Is there a not so confusing way to migrate existing folders into LR so that the current file structure is maintained?

That was really helpful Dave! Thank you

Excellent. Really easy to follow.

Super helpful, thank you!

Very good video I will get your book

Newbie question. When do YOU decide to delete "unwanted" images after shooting? Like the image of your foot that was accidently taken or if you took 10 shots of the same thing and you uploaded all 10 to lightroom and then decided the best one to develop and edit. What, how and when do YOU decide to delete the extraneous, unneeded, unwanted yet uploaded images?

Omgosh- LOVE THIS….. THANK YOU 😊❤

I have a question, Im new to lightroom so the way i have it setup is i have a 1 TB SSD drive for the catalog and where i put the pictures that i would point to lightroom. What i noticed is that when i work on a photo and do edits like photoshop or other 3rd party programs within lightroom, the original folder that holds the original photo now also includes all of the edits.Example if i work on a photo and i do 5 edits from 5 different programs within lightroom the original folder with that picture now includes 5 additional edited photos of the original photo. So if the orginal photo was 20MB i now have 6 photos in that folder that now adds up to 120MB's or so. Is this normal?

Great tutorial Dave. Much appreciated! I'm now a subscriber to your channel!

What if you already have copyright info on your images through your cameras menu setting like I have on my Canon 5Dsr? Is it duplicated or does Lightroom override what has been set up in camera? Great video!!!!!! TY

Thanks Dave, your presentation of Lightroom Classic is excellent, very clear and precise.

Thanks! How can I change my lightroom filmstrip so the thumbnails display the filename instead of the sequence number? I see yours display the filename but I have searched and can not find an answer on how to switch this!

Thank you very straightforward

Thank you so much for this excellent Lightroom video! I'm going to get started NOW redoing my folders!

Thank you so much. Yours was the most straight forward tutorial I have watched. Thanks again 👍🏻

This was really helpful!! Thank you!!

Excellent thanks.

this makes so much sense. I watched it today again to reinforce how I want to do this. So many others want you to toss in that card and go from there. I would rather check that everything is right before loading it up. Thanks Dave

This video was so packed with great info! I'll likely go back to it and watch again after I play around with LR a little. Thank you!

Dave, a follow up to my comment with a question. You mentioned that just because the triangles have disappeared doesn’t mean you’ve taken care of all lost detail, so I now take steps to check the whites and blacks to ensure I have recovered all detail. When I then soft proof I sometimes show I still have clipping, more so with lights/highlights than darks/shadows. Do I still have a problem, or can I assume I have indeed recovered all detail? Note: I work in AdobeRGB color space, so that’s my soft proof proof profile. Thanks in advance for hitting me back with a response when you have a chance.

I am very thankful for stumbling across your video. Putting what you've taught me into practice has revolutionized my editing process. I completely agree with Rajesh's comment that your tutorial on tone curve is the best I have seen.

Thanks Dave for a whole new light on curves!

I am not sure why this hasn't gotten more notice, but this is a terrific tutorial on Tone Curves. Superb job! Thank you!

This is just amazing 👏👏👏👏👏 The Best tutorial I WatchED on tone curve & I at least checked 100 of those videos on UA-cam in last 7days Now I've to check the color of those small triangles in all my photos 🙄😢👍👍

Fabulous info, Dave. Thanks for sharing it.

I am having two issues here, the "New Folder" option when I am instructing it to use my external hard drive is grayed out. So I cant do it through lightroom, instead I create a folder on the hard drive on the back end and then "Choose" that folder. My issue following this is when I am trying to move photos into this folder, I receive an unknown error, and I am unable to move those photos/folder of photos into the intended folder. This is incredibly frustrating. Reorganizing photos can't possibly be this complicated. Do you have any suggestions?

Excellent! Thank you.

Nice job Dave. thanks for moving the lion closer to my truck!
