Hello everybody
I have about 10K images, 3K yet to be processed. I have been using Lightroom since version 3 up to LR 5.
Now it‘s time for a relaunch of my inconsistent workflow. Since last week I have spend many hours watching videos and reading posts about organizing my photos. My head is spinning.:crazy:
My first question ist about unambiguous and consistent keywording. How do I distinguish between a person or a location and their derivatives without investing too much time in keywording.
Example:
Person:
Peter
Peters Portrait
Peter in full length
Peters home - wife - car - dog - wedding - birthday and so forth
Peter at his office or Peter at any office
Vacation with Peter
Several persons named Peter, Peter A, Peter B, Peter C
A distinct search for or small collection with portraits of Peter A with his dog in his home at his birthday would then be:
Peter A, portrait, Peter A dog, Peter A home, Peter A birthday.
And if he had two dogs then the names or breed of the dogs woud add to that.
What spelling would be best practice „Peter A dog“ „Peter_A_dog“ or „PeterADog“?
Would a hierarchy take care for most of that issue?
people
family A
peter A
portrait
birthday 2012
birthday 2013
home
office
pets
dog c
dog d
How do I distinguish from a location/place/city where shots where taken and a unique view of that location.
When I search for a city, I normally want to find meaningful photos of that city and not anything generic that could be taken anywhere.
Are there any solutions for bilingual keywording and being able to choose one language at export?
Thanks.
