Lightroom is available on mobile, desktop and as a web-based version. Lightroom stores your images in the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What are Lightroom folders?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Folders are where the image files live. Folders are not saved inside of Lightroom, but are stored somewhere on an internal or external hard drive. When importing images into Lightroom, you specify where those images will be stored on your computer or an external hard drive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Where are my folders in Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Generally, most of the folders in Lightroom are created outside Lightroom, or as part of Import, but there are also tools to create them within Lightroom. Click the plus (+) icon in the Folders panel header to access the Folders menu. From there you can create a new folder or even a subfolder inside the current folder.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I organize Lightroom presets?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Lightroom.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the Develop Module.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click on one of your presets (not a preset folder\u2014an individual preset)<\/li>\n<li>Choose \u201cShow in Explorer\u201d (PC) or \u201cShow in Finder\u201d (MAC)<\/li>\n<li>The folder where the preset you clicked on is stored will open up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you organize thousands of pictures?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Name Your Photos.  <\/li>\n<li>Use Folders (and Subfolders\u2026 and Sub-Subfolders)  <\/li>\n<li>Identify Photos by Their Attributes.  <\/li>\n<li>Use Favorites, but Use Them Wisely.  <\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t Fear the Delete Button.  <\/li>\n<li>Create a Central Hub.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you organize photos and names?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Creating a strong folder structure is the best way to start organizing your digital pictures. Such a structure can be expanded with the use of tags if needed (see Tags vs. Folders). I also believe that folder names should follow a certain naming convention that should be followed consistently.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I organize my digital photos 2020?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Create transparent folders and file naming systems.<\/li>\n<li>Implement metadata management.<\/li>\n<li>Utilize auto tagging software.<\/li>\n<li>Take advantage of cloud storage systems.<\/li>\n<li>Manage offline storage hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I clean up old Lightroom files?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Open the folder.
