Work and life have kept me from photography and Lightroom for a long time. Now just back from a long sought little vacation and I realize my skills have faded :-(
Here are a few things I'd love to have a refresh on:
Shot around 700 photos on a week trip to Andalucia (wow what a place in this season). Have imported them as usual in my usual format: one folder for each day of the travel.
Question 1) Can I rename the 7 LR folders in one shot postfixing them all with "_Andalucia 2014" ?
Question 2) Aside from "regular" shots I have several triplettes of shots to use in HDR and some sequences of shots to build panoramas. I use external programs for both tasks (Autopano and Photomatix). While going through the "rate/delete/tag" phase I was thinking about tagging all HDR triples say in red and all members of the panos say in yellow and also stack them to occupy less space in the grid view. Would this be the best way to handle them ?
Question 3) After importing the raws, LR went through a "Building standard previews" phase (out of my memory). But now each time I display a new photo I have a longish (2-3 seconds) "Loading" message with the image looking as if it was out of focus (sadly sometimes they really are LOL). Can I have this "Loading" phase done once and for all to work more swiftly now that I need to delete or rate/tag through all of them ?
Thank you very much. Robert.
