So the folders you create before importing are for backup purposes only, in case you need them? You don't do any organizing within LR? I take it you do organize "photos," i.e., edited versions of initial images? [I suspect maybe it's time to hold off on my questions till I've had some experience trying to do it. It's beginning to feel like I could go on asking questions forever. Which would probably not be particularly helpful to me, and would just take up you guy's time. Though everyone seems eager to help, and I'm getting lots of helpful information.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
