Hi,

I'm still recovering after a major iMac HDD failure, which resulted in losing my main LR catalog... (photos themselves were covered). Well, that lesson has been well and truly learned and you'll not find a bigger advocate for robust backups (my first post will be a question related to this!).

As for the rest of LR I've probably only mastered the basics, and this forum looks like the resource I've been needing to take my skills a little further and in particular become more comfortable with using the Cloud service more as an effective means of managing my workflow as I'm not always able to edit at home.

Thanks!

Dave
 
Nice to welcome you here, Dave, although sorry to hear about your Lightroom loss!

Check out downloading a couple of the free eBooks, also the Blog posts (that include detailed ones on backups, what to backup,...)
