Thanks to all. Your experience and suggestions are helpful. I will keep on keeping on!
I feel a need to clarify my issue. I reread my original post and found it lacking and misleading. I have my photos well organized in My Pictures file. Some folders by name and the last several years by date. I have only imported a few in Lightroom 4.4, when I started shooting RAW. I used PSE previously and it failed- very slow and I had broken files on import. I finally removed it completely! Maybe not the best solution!
After watching several videos, my dilemma now is the folder structure. Since I don't have a lot of the pictures in LR, maybe I have the opportunity to "experiment!"
This becomes more complex as I try to explain.........😊
Yes, I have learned just recently. I will proceed slowly to reorganize. I do not have most of them in Lightroom, as I used Elements for a lot of years.. Then moved the files to an external hard drive. So...proceed with caution will be my new motto. Study first, then make changes. Thanks for the help.
I have watched Tim Grey's video on starting Lightroom 5, and found it most helpful. I am thinking about redoing my picture file structure before starting a new catalog in Lightroom. I currently have 4.4. Going through all the files seems like a big task...........but worth it in the end to get Lightroom set up in the best way.
Thanks, Bill. I take a look at it..
I started working in Lightroom 4 a while back, and have just finished watching the you tube tutorials...... Now I think it would be a good idea for me to make corrections in organizing. Can I delete the catalog I have started and create a new one? Is there a tutorial that might help me with this issue? :)
Where I live, my bird watching friends call it a brown thrasher. We have them in our back yard. I have not looked in my bird book to be certain.....
Hi y'all,
I live in east Tennessee, and have been taking pictures with my Nikon D60 for about five years. I like this site and have been enjoying it for a year or more. I learn so much, and love looking at all the photos.
I will try my hand at posting one of these first days.
