[tps_title]Back Up Your Catalog[/tps_title]

Since we’ve spent all this time assigning keywords to our photos, rating our favorites, editing them, and maybe even creating important Collections, we better make sure we back up our Lightroom Catalog. I have Lightroom setup to ask if I want to back up the catalog every time it closes.  Whenever we’ve done a bunch of image editing, or if I haven’t backed it up in a couple weeks, I have Lightroom back up the catalog.

You can have Lightroom back up your catalog to an external drive or Dropbox. I have Lightroom back up our catalogs to a Dropbox folder called Katalogs. Yes, I know you spell catalog a c. I label it with a K, KATALOG. There is even more method to my system, but I’ll save explaining it for another blog post!

Depending on our travel and filming schedules, a couple times a year I teach a 4-week online course, Photo Organization to the Rescue, where we find and organize all, and I mean ALL your photos.  I limit the class to six students at a time.  All levels are welcome.  Whether you’re a small company who has a huge photo database, a working photographer who is slowly drowning in your photos, or a stay-at-home mom who is tired of not being able to find photos, you are all welcome!  There is lots of one-on-one help, and we get it done!  Read the reviews of past students here!  Hope to see you in class sometime!
