Great and simple

[@markivkovic7235]

Thorsten this is a great one. I've been a working photographer like yourself for over 15 years and have had to figure out how to keep track of an ever increasing archive of images. With negatives it was maybe "easier" because I'd be doing 5 or 6 rolls per job, then in came digital and suddenly I could have hundreds of images a day coming in. A solid keywording & archival system is needed, as you say this is a great way of doing it for anyone to quickly get to grips with the concepts.

Up to about 2/3 of the way through, this video is about basic Lightroom: where to get it, how to run it. The good stuff about actual keywording comes after that. And there is one cool thing I learned here that I had no idea about before: keywords become part of the image file such that your computer's operating system, independently of Lightroom, can find them.

Great explanation of key-wording thank you

[@msandersen]

Photo Mechanic. Enough said. Lightroom is a proprietary database, only when you export is the metadata put into the file. The XMP setting is important otherwise. I also use a set of Exiftool scripts to tag photos taken with manual lenses, or fix lax metadata tagging by 3rd party lenses like Sigma. But if you deal with large numbers of photos, Photo Mechanic is key. I’m not even gonna go into all the powerful organisational and templating features, but it is central to my workflow. And yes, I write to the Raw file, so the metadata is always with the file, and is indexed by OSX and can be found in a Finder search.

This is a very useful video! Thx.

[@GregDamianK]

Thank You!

[@garykinmun]

do you keep everything in digital? sounds risky. an EMP event can wipe out everything.

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

That's a different discussion. Blueray archival disks (10 GB each), or prints. Or have film negatives/positives made of the best ones. That is the only way to be safe in case of EMP.
