Hey Scott. Great video, as always. I am curious about your organization approach as I see "LR Mobile" and "Originals". How do you organize and manage your photos? I have always kept all of my images in one location (sub folder of course...slowly moving away from yyyy\yyyy-mm-dd approach to one of Pets, Family, Travel, etc.). After editing and ranking images, I would export finals into another drive only for sharing with friends/family, but that export is often temporary and deleted over time. Originals and edits stay together and with editor catelog. THEN the situation I am in now where I am moving away from On1 and to LR (classic). Now thinking of how to export "finals" out to sit next to original, how to stack, ... ("ICKY" is technical term that comes to mind). So curious how you handled your management, especially as you use multiple apps. Would love to see a video on this.
LR is my asset manager, and all photos end up there. All the ins and outs are a lot... though I did a course on asset management several years ago (scottdavenportphoto.com/products/lightroom-asset-management-ebook-video). I continue to use the same workflow. As for moving applications, I went through that with Aperture to Lightroom... I don't have a better way of 'saving' work from other apps as yet-another photo in the catalog. Stacks are good to make it clearer which one is the final. Good luck!
Hi Scott. Yes, I have a question. First let me note that I am an ON1 user. I started doing this type of tagging and such this year. I know that meta data added to a file stays in that file regardless of where it is moved to. But I found that the folders I create in which to group like photos, landscape, abstracts, etc., don't move with the relocation of the files. My hard drive began to get a bit full, so I moved files onto an external drive. Now the folders I created are empty; ON1 does not recognize that the files are elsewhere now. That seems to mean I will have to start over, creating the folders all over again. Not a big deal when you maybe have only a few hundred images, but it's a big deal when you grow into the thousands over time. Is the answer to simply start with the external drive from the get go? In other words, putting your files where they are going to be archived right away from the beginning, so there never is a transfer issue? I enjoyed this video, Scott, and thank you.
That's typical with cataloguing systems. You should work withing On1, Capture One, Lightroom Classic etc. Probably there's a facility on On1 to find your missing photos.
If you moved the files within ON1 Browse, the metadata (and edits) should 100% follow the file. Similarly, it you use ON1 sidecars and move the files+sidecars outside of Browse, the metadata (and edits) follow.

@@ScottDavenport Okay. Thanks Scott. I will do that. I needed to learn more about sidecars. Appreciate your time.
