A Few Things Worth Rethinking in Your Lightroom Routine

An organizing system can make perfect sense when you’re importing photos. The real test comes a few years later, when you’re trying to remember where you put them.

That’s one of the subjects Scott Kelby tackles in 10 Things You Need to Be Doing In Lightroom, his new KelbyOne class. Drawing on years of helping photographers at workshops, Scott brings together 10 things that often get overlooked, even by people who use Lightroom regularly.

He shares an approach to organizing trips with collections and descriptive names, shows how to choose the keeper from similar frames, and explains how to get Lightroom on your phone without filling up its storage.

On the editing side, you’ll find useful masking tools, a one-click fix for crooked buildings, and advice on when to hand a cleanup to Photoshop. Plenty to compare with the way you’re working now.

Give your Lightroom routine a little attention now, and save yourself some work the next time you sit down to edit. Your future self, searching for those trip photos, will appreciate it, too.
