Workflow and digital asset management. Cameras store filenames in very cryptic ways, and that can make it hard to find a specific image. Lightroom Catalogs give you the power to name files in ways that make sense to you and separate shoots so that you’ll be able to find a specific image, even years after you took it, quickly and easily. We’ll go through all the setup that you need to do on your computer to make Lightroom work for you. Then we’ll walk through the process you’ll need to follow for each shoot to get your images from your camera into Lightroom in a way that promotes proper digital asset management and facilitates the Lightroom workflow.
