Organising Photos Using Smart Collections and Lightroom

In this video, I explain how I use Smart Collections in Lightroom to organise my photos. By using Lightroom Smart Collections, I can automate and speed up otherwise repetitive tasks. Using Smart Collections allows me to forget about things like adding images to Collections. I can get on with editing my images whilst Lightroom groups them based on the rules I set up.

I never fail to pick up some valuable tidbit, suggestion, or piece of advice in your videos that ultimately has contributed to my ever evolving workflow, knowledge, and (humble) art. I suddenly realized that the least I can do to demonstrate appreciation is buy some of your equally fine ebooks. Done!

That's great to hear and thanks for supporting me by buying my books. Much appreciated.

That was really useful Robin, especially as I'm now ready to do the final classification of my much reduced library. It helps that I also have some of the same tutorial images from that December morning back in 2019 😃

I'm glad that you think so Steve. I was only thinking last night that I bet Smart Collections can help us with the Portfolio discussion we had. All we need to do is add a keyword for each portfolio and then the Smart Collections can select those images with the keyword and certain star rating. It should help see the wood for the trees.
That was a great morning as well although I remember getting a boot full of water in the afternoon.

Thanks a lot Robin; very helpful to me as I am in the process of (finally!) sorting out my tons of photographs.

[@RobinWhalley]

Pleased to hear it was helpful and good luck with the sorting.
