Introducing Lightroom catalogs and the Library module features
In this chapter we are going to take a first look at how the Lightroom catalog works and how to use the Library module controls to navigate and manage the photos in your catalog.
The Lightroom catalog is a key component of the Lightroom program. Lightroom’s underlying architecture and central database is designed to provide speed and flexibility when managing and viewing your photos. This can be seen by the way Lightroom allows you to view and update your files more quickly, provides a well-thought-out interface for managing your images and ties in smoothly with the Book, Slideshow, Print, and Web modules.
