In my ongoing attempts to rationalise and use LR at intended, I’ve begun to make use of Collections more seriously. I’m leaning towards doing it like this…
Projects
…and so on. The Intermediates collection can contain PSD files, etc. The upper tiers and Collection Sets and the lower are normal Collections which I simply drag & drop images into.
Problem#1 - LR doesn't copy the child Collections, so having an empty project template is not helpful. In other words, Collection Sets are not objects (like folders, for example)
Problem #2 - Dragging & dropping between Collections is like a “copy” operation, rather than a “move” operation. An option to choose “copy” or “move” would have been nice.
In addition to this, I have a few Smart Collections to help identify what needs doing, but thats another subject.
All comments and suggestions will be humbly appreciated.
Mike.
