Finding and Sorting Your Images

In Chapter 1 I covered the import process to successfully download your images, but that is just the first step. Your photographs will be of no use if you can’t find them when you need them. For this reason, it is important to be organized from the start. Fortunately, Lightroom has many good tools to help you keep your images neat and tidy.

In this chapter you’ll learn about tagging and sorting images, and creating collections to help you organize your photos so that in the future you will have a much easier time finding the picture you want to use. You will also have a much easier method of eliminating the photos that you don’t want.
