RE: Part 3: Sunset on the Mountain / Teil 3: Sonnenuntergang am Berg
I bet with views like that how could you not take many photos saving some for when you don’t get out is good
I have a folder I put extra photos I edit but don’t share in a post I call my rainy day folder although it should be called winter hermit day photos
Right, I have such a folder too, where I put all of my edited photos until I post them. As soon as I have posted a photo, it's filed in a matching folder.
In this folder I have always enough photos for 2 or 3 posts, but as you say, for the winter I should have some more in there. And you are right, I will edit some more of these photos from yesterdays post and save them for such bad weather days ;)
I have a yet to post Folder, Where i place photos before doing posts, and if I do a post and have some left over I move them into the rainy day folder,
After i post I delete the jpg photo I exported, all my photos are kept in Lightroom
And also in Lightroom I have a few photos marked 5 Stars which Means i have edited them and not exported so I do have some reserves already :)
That's a good idea, and I think I will steal it 😁
I don't delete the jpg files, and I even keep the Photoshop psd files. All photos including the Lightroom imports are on an external harddisk, which I back up every few days.
In Lightroom I do only the main adjustments, because I prefer to work in Photoshop with layers.

IF I kept all the jpg files i would for sure need another external hard drive to back them all up LOL
I dot he same slight tweaks in Lightroom then main edits in photoshop but then save it to Lightroom so i have the final edit which I export to share or add to my website, ( which I haven’t updated with photos for ages I must add that to me to do list :)
I don't trust Lightroom, because the catalogue has crashed a few times and all image settings were gone.
Maybe, because I have all images and the catalogue on this external harddisk, which I use at home on my pc and also on my laptop - maybe. This is, why I keep all edited files ;)
My backup drive has 6 TB, what should last for a while :)
I have four external Hard drives with backups on and one 5TB drive for live sort of backup, so about 12 Tb total or more,
You raise a good point i do have my catalogue backed up but f i lost it I would be frustrated since all of my phones from the last few years are n that one catalogue,I am thinking many I should at least do a new catalogue each year as well NOw I have thought that before and keep forgetting to do it, So making a reminder for myself as soon as I finish this comment
OK, you have won - you have more TB of HD space 😉
Some make separate catalogues monthly or even after longer photoshootings. If one catalogue gets lost and you have no backup, then only these editings are lost.
I am thinking of changing to such a system of many smaller catalogues too, because my one big catalogue seems to slow my laptop more and more down.
BUt you will no doubt will with more orderly backup, I have at east two copies of every photos and catologue, but I know I have some with three copies so if i ever sat down and organized them better I would have more free space
I think your right the big catalogue does slow things down, I rally need to make the change if there all smaller catalogues switching between them will be quick and easy
