I hear what you are saying, but LR is still a bit slow on the intake whereas, as Leo points out, PM is blazing fast. I know people who have 25,000+ images in a LR catalog and if I undertake this enterprise in LR I'm afraid I will be in that group. For 95% of these images I just want to see them and there has got to be a cheap fast app for that. Or maybe there isn't. --Bob On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 8:21 PM, Bob Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Robert, > Not sure of your reticence to use LR. It's perfect for what you want to > do.
