Thank you Terry Vander Heiden for another great video. Your explanation and attention to details is great.

Of all the video I have watched on this subject….YOU explained it in a nice pace, the hows and whys….and it makes sense! Also bought your book!

Your videos are always what I need, it seems that we have the fate of mentor and apprentice. In less than a month since I purchased the Z9, I have purchased five lenses and taken more than a thousand photos. Was looking for a photo management tutorial, and here's your video! Thanks again, my master.

Another helpful video as I binge-watch your vids on Lightroom tonight! Thank you!

These are great presentations. As a beginner who is lost in complexity of Lightroom, I find your clear explanation of LRC just what I need to orient myself to photo editing. Thanks GT

Another excellent video was waiting for these lessons thanks for delivering another episode of the lightroom tutorial.

Today I purchased your e-book; thank you so much. And Thank You your videos are extremely helpful; I have no problem following your tutorials.

TERRY: Your tutorials will help me to set up my pictures so they will be more secure and I can sort them quicker and more concisely. I'll look at your books. Thanks Dick Clark

thanks again for this series - really appreciate the effort

As usually a perfect tutorial. Thanks!

Very knowledgeable. Can't wait till the next video!

Nice tutorial, once again ! Always learning! Thks

Thanks Terry! Great videos!

So helpful! Thank you!

No one (that I know of) ever suggests using Stacks to organize images. For example, I have thousand of portrait images: children, men, women, surreal portraits, etc.). If I have 1000 portraits of women, using "portrait" as a keyword brings up every one of the examples mentioned, including men, children, etc.. So instead, I create a separate stack for each of the categories noted above. In addition, I create a graphic denoting the category in question, such as "Portraits of Women, Portraits of Teens, Portraits of Men," etc., which serves as the cover thumbnail for each category. This method also extends to Landscapes, Still Lifes, Flowers, Wallpapers, Food, and so forth. In effect, I'm compartmentalizing specific subjects into sub-categories. This is not to say I don't use keywords at all, but I can then open the stack of a specific category and do a search from within that category alone, rather than searching through an entire catalog for a specific image. In the category of Children, for example, I can search for blondes, smiles, sad, happy, etc. Just a suggestion.

Very helpful & explained well!

I begun using keywords years ago as you show in the video and came to a mess of hundreds of items with a lot of similar keywords etc. Recently I started organizing my keyword list in a hierarchy with master categories (such as place, subject, ...) and sub-categories (for instance putting the keyword for a specific species of bear species under "Bear" keyword. Is a huge effort I'm still working on but I see the light at the and of the tunnel and applying keywords to new images has begun easier and consistent. Would like to know your approach with that.

Working my way through your Lightroom videos, apart from your spelling (sic) they are brilliant

You explain things very clearly. I followed your video about creating catalogues but it would be helpful to show how how you find the photos again. Do you open the hardrive and then open the LR catalogue as all my photos on the HD have been put in to folders based on date taken by LR automatically . These folders seem to sit outside of the Gorst Catalogue. Or do you open them in LR? If so I cant find them at all. I am a little confused🙂

Easily understood thank you. I have tried to find out via books and and various videos how to delete words from the Keywording Panel itself without deleting them from the Keyword List. Any clues please?

I do this and also while adding keywords I add captions, titles and location to my metadata. This helps not only with searching for photos I also can setup slide show in LR and have the caption or title and location show up on the slide. Maybe another tutorial idea for you Terry- slide show.

As a newbie to lightroom, I find your videos the best. Newbie question, does LRC have a means to search all catalogs at once. Say you want to search all Cooper's Hawks over the past year. They are in different catalogs. Will the search pull all of them?

Aspect ratio, pano, long exposure, fog, Ziggy, …😊

Although English is not my native language, (Dutch is) I can follow your video's very good. Thank you for making them! They are very instructive. I have one question: to make a photobook I export the foto's from LRC to another file in my computer. Do I have to import them again in LRC to keep my catalogue complete?

What about AI auto tagging instead of having to enter a dozen tags for 10,000 images?

I have over 12,000 photos (over approx 10 years) that I would like to bring into Lightroom and categorize into folders. I don't want to pull them in until I have a plan of organizing them. Is there a way that lightroom can help me to at least sort these out initially? Thank you for the very easy to understand videos.

Metadata is the most powerfull tool in lirary
