Lightroom poses no restrictions on moving files around, but it's not the most efficient way to work. On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 7:07 PM, Eric Weir <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks, John.

Once they're keyworded, you can group them (automatically/dynamically with smart collections, statically with regular collections) for working on. Moving them around in the file system is optional and unnecessary. If you don't like to keep rejects for future possibilities, just delete them ... Lightroom gives you the option of just removing them from the catalog or additionally putting them in the trash. There's little point to moving things around in the file system other than to make the original files easier to backup and replicate. Use Lightroom as the organizer, not the file system. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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.
