    Catalog organisation

    Hi, I have organised my LRC catalog according to location (country). This has served me well for many years, but has stopped me using more than one drive to keep my photos on, because organising that would be a nightmare. So I am now thinking that organising everything according to date (years...

    How to switch my date-based folders system to Topic-driven folders?

    I followed someone's advice years ago and now face yearly folders with subfolders - and 80,000 images within them. How would I create folders with nine topics (like the ones Scott Kelby advocates for) and start cataloging this way? Thank you

    Deleting Pictures in LRC Folders

    In Lightroom Classic V-11, does deleting pictures in folders, delete them from your Catalog? As background, I imported my Apple Photos to Lightroom. I want to eliminate the Lightroom Folders IF it will not impact what is "Synced" and "All Photographs." Thank you in advance.
