The DAM Book Guide to Multi-Catalog Workflow with Lightroom

by Peter Krogh

Lightroom is a wonderful tool for managing your photo collection, but it is really designed for a single-catalog workflow. Photographers who have very large collections, or need to work on multiple computers, or need to collaborate with others can get into a confusing mess pretty quickly. If you’re in this situation, help is here. Built on the principles first outlined in The DAM Book, this multimedia eBook presents a thorough examination of the methods and techniques for creating solid multi-catalog workflow with Lightroom 5. The eBook integrates text, screenshots, animated flowcharts and workflow videos. You’ll understand what options Lightroom offers to create your multi-catalog workflow, and see how to put them into practice in the three and a half hours of video. And even more importantly, the book presents a structural understanding of why you might need to create this workflow, how the catalogs relate to each other, and how to use clear terminology in your workflow design. Take a look at the video on my author page to see a video on how the book is structured.
