Your Lightroom Catalog Is a Time Bomb — Here's How to Defuse It

Your Lightroom Catalog Is a Time Bomb — Here's How to Defuse It

I once watched a photographer spend 45 minutes searching for a client’s edited files before a delivery deadline. The images were there. Somewhere. Buried inside a Lightroom catalog that had grown to 180,000 images over six years with no folder logic, no naming conventions, and keywords applied so inconsistently they were basically useless. That photographer was charging $3,500 per wedding. His file system looked like a junk drawer. Your catalog is the spine of your entire business.
