You so totally ROCK! I’m so jonesing for those old LR posts of yours. This post may have really given my hubby something to think about plus Amazon has LR for $149 right now. UGH! I can hardly wait for more posts! TY Kayla!!!!

Last night I was listening to the PDS episode “That’s So Digi” where you were discussing various organizing software. I’m right there with you in terms of the “geeky” stuff and was very interested in your organizing escapades. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I just switched from PC to a Mac and am struggling to find a suitable way to organize my digi supplies and my design tools. I know you are working on new Tuts on your LR workflow, but I’m wondering if you can answer a couple of questions for me?
(1) When you import your kit items do you have LR move them, or do you leave them where they are? Because ACDSee was a catalog, it didn’t care where the files resided, so my kits are loosely organized in folders by designers and my design tools (actions, templates, etc) are in folders by type.
(2) I routinely “embeded” ACDSee keyword data into my files, Do you know if LR will read that data when the files are imported? Since most of the files are pngs, I’m confused about LR’s ability to read that information. I briefly looked for some way to view a file’s existing metadate in LR and it wasn’t obvious to me how to do so. It is even more confusing to me that when I look at my files in Bridge, some of the tagging from ACDSee is there and some is not.
(3) As a designer, I’m very interested in the concept of writing metadata to my kit elements, but that leads to the same confusion about LR and png files. ACDSee would write “sidecar” files to PSD and other non-image formats, but I was never quite sure where I would find those xmp files or how I would include them in a kit. Since LR doesn’t recognize pngs, am I running in circles???
Sorry to ask so many questions, but it is not often I run into scrapbookers and technically inclined as I am …. I’m none as “the techy one” in the forums I frequent. Its driving me nuts not knowing the direction I need to head now that I’ve gone Mac!
Thanks for being so willing to share your knowledge – I really appreciate knowing there’s another software geek like me out there!
