I'm setting up my new LR3/CS5 environment.
I have a bunch of pictures from my P&S days on my laptop. I also have several hundred since I got my D90 and F3. These are all personnel photos.
Before I start importing them to LR I'm trying to decide on a folder layout. I have an external 1tb drive as a backup device. I've read some folks use the date as a folder name, others use the location, and others use something completely different.
I would to separate my digital and film images. My question is should I make catalog for each type and then sub-divide that based on the camera ( I have 3 film and 2 digital cameras right now), or keep everything in one big catalog and split them by type inside the single catalog.
I'm putting some thought into this now so that 6 months down the road I don't have a total SNAFU and have to start all over.
