"This gives me a headache". That was Cliff Lester's comment on the workflow structure I submitted a couple of weeks ago. He probably understands that it is giving me a headache too. I'm still struggling with how to create a LightRoom catalog in a way that allows me to have current projects on a small external drive I can pop in my bag and carry with me - it's a nightmare. The only bright spot is that I still believe it will be great when I finally do have a coherent and workable catalog with all my images - well actually two catalogs: one with all my originals and a second one with all the selects and edited versions. What a wonderful world that will be.
I finally came up with some broad categories that seem to work for me.
Client Work - Capturing Treasured Moments (I thought that was pretty clever :)
Fine Art - Travel, Flowers, Abstracts.....
Instruction and Training - Class Assignments and other workshop captures
My Groups - Iota, Links, Red Hatters ...
Personal Work - Family and Friends and stuff like that..
There are a large number of sub categories that still seem to overlap - but I'm making progress.
