Lightroom has a lot of flexibility in all aspects of a workflow. Currently, my import destination is a sub-folder in My Pictures that I name (based on the shoot I took). Since Adobe seems to have built their process around Collections (being visible in Library and Develop), I hear many users simplify their import by simply assigning the import destination By Date i.e. year/month or year/month/day. I am not a date-centric person and can't even remember our anniversary.

I am interested in what UHH members use as their preferred destination (by date or named folder). Either way, I plan to leverage the Collections features and believe Collections can satisfy my 'folder fetish'. As always, one answer is "whatever works for me", but I am interested what members have found to be efficient and effective.

Thank you, Bob

Bob, I have an "Events & Trips" folder as on of my major folders. I then create "Year" folders inside that folder. Then when I do a shoot in 2018 I have sub-folders with the name of the event or trip. Within those folders I store the images by date. That way if the event or trip is more than a day I don't have to search through all of the event's images to find what I might be looking for. Hope this helps...
