I'm trying to organize things properly for once and I am having some difficulty.
If any experienced enthusiasts or pros could lend me some tips. I'm trying to find the more efficient way of doing things.
I have 2x 64GB memory cards, when I upload to my PC it goes directly to LR.
I'm thinking of creating collection folders to separate the photos I wont use versus the ones I will within Lightroom.
Thereafter I export them to folders:
-Portraits
-Landscapes
-Art (misc)
Which also contain sub-folders.
Many of the photos I wont use aka wont post on Instagram, arent necessarily bad, just not the "wow" type photos but I may want to keep them.
One things for sure, I don't want to keep photos in LR long term, my little laptop (Acer Swift 3) doesn't have the power to handle more than 500 photos in LR without starting to have RAM and CPU performance issues.
I bought one external harddrive, a 1TB disk that I'm going to use to keep files on.
Is one external harddrive enough or should I buy another considering I'm trying not to keep too many files on my computer/lightroom...?
Any advice or go-to articles would be much appreciated.
