[Tweeters] Lightroom Classic

[Jim Betz via Tweeters]

Hi all,

   The following is about birding photography rather than about birding in

general or recent sightings ... if you aren't interested in it just skip.


   I am just learning Lightroom Classic.  LrC has a feature called 
"keywords"

which you can assign to the individual images and then use later to make

finding prior images both easier and quicker.  If you've assigned a keyword

"puffins" you can search and see only the images you have of puffins.

   The Keywords can also be in a hierarchy.  Although it would be easy 
to just

say "I use the taxonomy for my hierarchy" I am not going there.


   ===> So I'm interested in what you use for keywords ... ?


   My photos are currently in folders arranged by place and date (month 
and year).

And I add the bird ID to that info in my captions.  So, for example, a 
recent image

I worked on is captioned "Yellow-winged Cacique - Puerto Vallarta 2022" 
and is in a

folder called /Lumix/Puerto Vallarta 2022/.  Would you recommend that I just

keep/reuse that same kind of hierarchy for my keywords?
