I prefer to just manage my file storage directory structure but I'm sure that LR has a good method.


That's where I am, too. LR may have a more logical structure (or not) but I have my own and it has worked for me...and I have WAY too much to restructure along any other line. Besides I think LR has some limit on how big you can make the catalogs, such that I exceed it???

Be that as it may, if you do not use LR for the catalog feature, I still feel that some smart guys are using it as part of the editing workflow - I just have not found any way to make that happen.

In fact the only thing that has me thinking about it again, is that Perfect Photo Suite 7 seems to have more features for LR than for PS - part of that is that they state that LR doesn't support layers (hard to believe) and so PPS has added that functionality with Perfect Layers for LR only (PS supports layers obviously) and there is a whole workflow running from Perfect Layers to all the other features of PPS which looks great.

I don't see any easy way to go back and forth from LR to PS without saving files and reopening as you move from one app to the other? I guess I would rather see LR as a PS plugin...

Good grief, where am I going with this? I seem to hit this wall about once a year trying to get my head around LR :-)
