lightroom organising photos

[slimsurf]

Hi

I shoot mainly sports and generate a lot of images. Having read a lot of posts I went with Lightroom over photomechanic. I do have Iview media pro as well.

I am trying to integrate the two somehow lightroom to as a browser iview to catalogue - any ideas on workflow/ methodology.

Also is their a way with lightroom that you can move a photo folder to another location ie external hard drive and lightroom still know. I know you can move them then locate them again using a search from within lightroom by tapping on the question mark but this is labour intensive.

You can move images to different folders if you do it from within LR.. but think you will have difficulty cataglguing outside of LR the browsing within as LR Is self-contained as a E2E DAM application

this may sound stupid but how?

I think (remember?) you have to be in library grid view then drag the images to a new folder....

First you need to make sure that Lightroom can see your external drive. For instance all of my photos are on the G:/ drive. If I want to move folders to another drive location then I must first tell Lightroom that I have another drive. To do that you need to import that drive by telling Lightroom to put something there upon import or import something that is already there. Once Lightroom is aware of that drive then you will be able to move files to it.
