There are limitless way of working with Lightroom and depending on your level of knowledge of the software and computer in general your workflow may differs. But like I said when you use the application more you would have settle into a stride and your own way of working. I have been following Eric Scouten blog at http://ericscouten.com and I am pretty much agreed with all the tips that he had given in the blog posts. Last night I read his latest input on Lightroom organization and workflow using Lightroom 4. Yes I agree with what he said that some how we need to organize our system but I am not really agree with how he did it. If you want to read his article you can visit it here http://ericscouten.com/2012/03/lightroom-technique-how-i-organize-my-catalog-and-why-2012-edition/.

Great advices. But I think the most asked questions when people read about this organizing tips articles is: how dovivachive this when I've already have a catalog (or multiple) with 10000+ photos? I need at least double the space to duplicate them in folders, and make their current folders act as import devices. Any tips on how to achieve this more efficiently? Keep up the excellent work!

A little surprised though that you abandoned the smart collection/target collection method you introduced. I love it and have expanded its use. As a non-pro I can process images and leave and find where I left off very easily without having to change my disk location (would be a backup problem for me). This method so far works best for me since my disk setup is done via Peter Krogh's suggestions. Looking forward to more of you thoughts on using LR in the future Dan Thanks for the update Eric, very interesting.

A question though, and I may have missed it, but is there a particular reason you use actual folders rather than collections or sets? For ease of access outside LR? Most of my "Display" items will end up as sets on flickr or smugmug, but I was just curious as to the main reason for using folders over sets.
