How To Organise Travel Photos In Lightroom To Save Time Later. Hi and welcome to Episode 85 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is the answery bit.

I have a dead simple way of organising my travel photos in Lightroom. This is what I do.

1.  Import the photos
2.  Apply some processing on import.
3.  Quickly go through the photos and delete the one that I just do not want.
4.  Select the photos that I like the look of quickly – hit P
5.  Create a new folder
6.  Create a new sub-folder called Picks
7.  Add the picks
8.  Create a new sub-folder called All
9.  Add the rest
10.  Add all the photos to a collection and sync with Lightroom Mobile
11. Backup and format the memory cards
