You really need to learn more about Lightroom.
You don't need to copy the photos, you just need to create a collection and add the photos to the collection. A collection is just a set of references to the files you imported, it's not a copy of the files. Bob ============= Speaking of learning more, I like the book I got just this past weekend. It's probably more book than some people want, but it covers EVERYTHING and is organized well and well written. I find Scott Kelby has good starter books, but they ARE starter books so they leave things out. Usually exactly the things I want to know. But one might start with his Lightroom 2 book. I have only read parts of this one and flipped through it to see what it covers, but so far I would highly recommend it. The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book by Martin Evening. Once I get through it, or parts of it I should know a lot more than I do now. I've mainly been using Lightroom for cataloguing, but I am now I am intrigued by its Develop module. I also want to know how snapshots work, and how I can do my own presets. All that is explained and more. Seems everything is explained. HTH, whoever, Marnie :-) (Those that live no where near Godfrey.
