Just one of those "Duh" moments...

Last month I watched a CreativeLive course about Workflow.  Zach and Jody's course was so so helpful and I came away with SO many awesome ideas.  There were several tips that I've already started using, but one Lightroom help really stood out to me.  Like REALLLY stood out -- just one of those "DUH!!" moments.

Catalogs.

Emphasis on the "S".

Make multiple catalog"s"!

Maybe I am the only person that downloads EVERY single shoot into 1 catalog, and doesn't think anything of it when Lightroom takes 10 minutes to load.  Sure it's annoying, but if it takes that long, I guess  I'll just have to wait.  WRONG :)

Thanks to that 1 little trick, I'm now importing each shoot into a separate catalog, I can find any photo I want - and "when" I want it, and it takes **seconds** to open lightroom.  Ahhhhhh....if only I had known about this 4 years ago!!  :)

Thanks Zach and Jody!

How do YOU organize your photos?  Do you use Lightroom?  What version?

And because I just can't write a post without a photo, here is a sneak peek of "one" of my Lightroom Catalog*s* from our latest [mini]C.A.P.T.U.R.E. that I'm working on.  

Happy Tuesday
