gkakin Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I hate Lr's folder system. What is the workflow without using Lr at all. I have the cc monthly subscrip. Everything I've searched online is Lr Lr use Lr. I dont want to use Lr at all. The folders really mess me up. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Great! The first step to a better workflow is knowing how terrible Lightroom is. Usually it takes more effort on my part to convince people of that. So I'm glad you've already done the work for me. Your first step is to download and install Adobe Bridge, if you haven't already. It's among the programs you have with your CC subscription. Then, start by watching this video, and this one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Query: gkakin, do you have Photoshop? Just asking since your user info block currently says you have no Adobe software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkakin Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes. I have photoshop. Although I've never used it. I tried to use Lr bc that's what everybody said to use. I used it to edit a golf event of approx 300 pics. and I ended up w several copies of the images and it was such a headache. I know how I want my files organized. But I couldn't get Lr to let me do it my way. Aarrgghh! Lol. I'm watching your video now and downloading bridge in the a.m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Next, make sure you do this so you can rescue the files trapped in Lightroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Terrific! Now you can go to the folder of files, and move them to wherever you want them. Then browse them in Bridge, and edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkakin Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I played with Bridge some earlier today and I love it! Just makes sense to me. So long Lightroom! Now I've got to learn acr and ps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
