    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

    Copy photos to another harddrive /SSD within LR

    Hi there, I bought a SSD as a new storage place for my photos. However, I would like to COPY - and not MOVE - the photos to the new location. So that in case the SSD breaks, I can temporarily use the old external harddrive and LR will still "know" where my images are on that drive. How can I...

    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.
