    WOW....that was fabulous, and will require a few viewings to capture all the functionality you exposed. After using LR for a number of years, that was the best explanation I have had on how collections can be used. Many thanks....

    Finally, a concise explanation on how to bridge the gap from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom online and sharing albums (sorry, collections) on Adobe Portfolio!
    I find explanations for one or the other but so little on how to bridge the two worlds of Lightroom Classic and the 20 GB of storage I pay for in my Adobe plan and make them play together.
    More on this, PLEASE!

    You can just create a collection for the photos you have selected upon import.
    I think it’s more efficient to select the photos you are about to edit off of the Sd card and before importing them on LRC you can create a collection for them too. while on the import window select the range of photos that you want in the same collection, then create a collection for them and tags and whatever else on the right hand tab. You can import and create a collection for that import all at once. One and done.

    I've been saving my images to collections, so happy to see your video! Now my folders are a hot mess, how do you clean up your folders. I understand you don't want to delete them since that is where the images are on your computers hard drive, but all of mine have the year, month or date on them.
    Thanks for your help!

  • @marktomphotography
    @marktomphotography 4 роки тому +3

    Definitely learned a couple things I didn't know, so thank you for that! Had a question. You mentioned having 35K+ photos in your catalogue. Have you considered breaking your collections up? By year for example. LR seems to have gotten noticeably more sluggish for me over the past year and am wondering if that would help. What do you think Mark?

    I have my collection sets all in Caps like COUNTRIES, PEOPLE, EVENTS etc then my collections in those like sub sets within those. I have about a dozen SETS which contain over 45000 photographs.
    For instance to find a person who I photographed in Brice Canyon I would open up COUNTRIES/USA/UTAH/People

    Nice, but I don't understand, how to edit imported photo, edit them , mark with stars and than sort in collections, delete others (or not) and make selected visible in some smart or not smart collections....portfolio etc.

  • @hans2504
    @hans2504 4 роки тому

    Hi Mark, couldn't find the sync option on the left of a folder. Later found out you first have to enable syncing (sync with lightroom) at the top left. Maybe good to mention, or did you??. Btw having lots of fun now with playing with collection and sharing, experimenting with comments and likes. All very powerfull !

  • @jugodenaranja2010

    I have a real estate catalog of a duplex and I've already did the stacking with the hdr groups, but now I want to separate everything in two collections for both units of the duplex, but all the stacking work I've done doesn't pass to the collection when I drag the photos. Do you know if there is a way to do this? thanks!

  • @pumpeyethetraderman8083
    @pumpeyethetraderman8083 Рік тому

    I'm wondering, the images that you are sharing with lightroom web won't have had output sharpening? So if you want to add them to your website you would need to sharpen them or they wouldn't look as good or am I wrong?

    I am using LR Classic build 11.5 on a Mac. I use Collections but I don't see a way to share a collections by right clicking. I do not see the squiggly line box column either. Is this not an option in newer versions of LR Classic? I am trying to share collections to use in Portfolio. TIA for any help.

    Wow, this is just hat I have been looking for. However, when I tried to duplicate the "Sync to Lightroom" from my Lightroom CC collection, It was not there. I tried rebooting my computer and that did not help. I have installed both Lightroom (for the cloud) on both my PC and phone. Any suggestions?
    After I left the above comment, I was able to find the answer to my question after searching the internet. Here is the answer: Click the Identity Plate at the top left of Lightroom Classic to view the Activity Center. Then you can turn on/off the Sync to Lightroom.
    Thanks again Mark for your help.

    • @MarkWallaceVideos
