1. Organizing Digital Supplies

    7
    My #1 questions from readers these days? How do you keep your supplies organized? What do you recommend for supplies? If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know that in my personal workflow I convert PNG files in kits to TIFF (LZW compression) and then import them and keyword everything in Lightroom. There are many reasons I like...
  2. How Getting Organized Helps You Save

    2
    I’ve recently been trying a few new things in my digital supply catalog and came across an interesting discovery. I finished organizing all my existing digital supplies Feb 19, 2011. No big deal, but after moving my supplies into folders by year to see the effects on the speed of my catalog, it was interesting to note that in 2010...
  3. Curating for Creativity

    Comment
    I often find that the more time I spend in my library curating images and looking things over with searches in different contexts, the more creative ideas come to me - like this layout for my daughter Grace...
  4. Digital Stash Organization with Lex

    4
    A few weeks ago I recieved the nicest email from an amazing lady.  Have you ever put something out there that you hope catches on and then months later you see that it's not only catching on but there are some pretty awesome people doing wonderful things with it? That describes Lex to a "T" – she took what she...
  5. Review: Any File Lightroom Plugin

    5
    I've had quite a few emails these past few months about a nifty little plugin called Any File Lightroom Plugin.  The promises of this plugin sound fabulous – "import any type of file into a Lightroom 3 catalog and manage the files just like photos…" I should preface this post by saying a few things (disclaimers):  I LOVE Lightroom because...
  6. True Confessions

    16
    Some days my download folder looks like this (especially after a BIG sale at my favorite designer’s store): You might think because I teach digital asset organization, my library is perfect.  Not so. ☺  Just like everyone else my life gets busy, I take on projects and I let things slide. However, just because I slide doesn’t mean I don’t...
  7. Reader Tip from Carla Skipper

    3
    Having a hard time seeing those white on white elements in Lightroom?  Check out this fabulous tip from Carla Skipper along with some time saving actions -   ***UPDATE***  Because Carla was so generous to ask and I had so much fun answering, I sent her a sneak peek on this tutorial – I do that for those of you...
  8. Do Over: Combining Two Separate Lightroom Catalogs Into One

    9
    Several students in the first group of Lightroom students chose to create two catalogs – one for supplies and one for their digital scrapbooking supplies.  Now they are wishing they could have everything in one catalog instead of going back and forth. The good news is that this is a simple thing to do, provided you just want to combine...
  9. Want To Be More Creative? Just Organize!

    2
    I was listening to the Work Awesome podcast the other day and heard this gem from guest David Allen: "I've always been fascinated by how to make things easier…my stuff is about 'how do you get stuff done between here and there,' for which organizing is a key component, but it's very easy to over organize and to lose productivity...
  10. Lightroom Class: Setting Lightroom Preferences

    22
    *** Please Note: as of March 1, 2012, I will no longer be supporting the content of this class. This is a cutting (really bleeding) edge way of organizing supplies. After over a year of helping students do this, I no longer know if it is a workflow I would recommend. It is complicated, and there is great potential to...
