What's your file management system? I'm trying to tweak mine (it was never great to being with) but I'm struggling a bit. I need to:
1) Store all work on an external yet still dump my current shoots on the laptop (or copies of them) for my current post/editing.
2) Export the edits and direct Lightroom to to a new parent folder after editing
3) Backup my macbook via time machine...and would prefer to backup the external at the same time.
Does anyone else out there use LR/PS and have a good file management system working primarily off of external drives? I'm not sure if I should import the files directly into LR iteself or direct LR to a folder. I'm also trying to figure out how many folders I need...how may do you have? I think I need one for the original RAWs, LR catalog, and final PSD/TIFF edits. It's all causing my head to spin.....Does anyone have any good systems?!?!?
