Cataloging is a topic that I have purposely avoided discussing for many years because I do not use Adobe Lightroom for cataloging my images.  While Lightroom has become the industry standard for photo management, I have found it to be too controlling.  Over the years I have developed a method for cataloging that works great for me that does not require the use of a file management system just a really good folder structure.

In this course, I will teach you how I manage my images from the moment I put my card into the computer to the backup process.  I will discuss my methods for image culling, labeling, and organizing.  I will also go over how I batch edit several images at once using Adobe Camera Raw.  For this course, I will be using Bridge, Adobe Camera Raw, and Photoshop, however, these principles can be used in nearly every file management system.
