I?ve been using Photoshop (now CC) forever, but all I do with it is to post-process images, with extensive use of Camera Raw?s tools, and make the occasional pano. I do nothing highly creative or manipulative outside of these limits. I have my images archived in folders within folders within folders on my local HD, and I?d like to be able to file them indexed in multiple ways for retrieval by, say, subject matter, location, and so on independently of image number, camera used, original roll or card, and dates. I have the original slides and memory cards, and digital backups on iCloud but nowhere else. I don?t want Adobe to store them. I like the idea of nondestructive editing, as I had with Aperture. I?m getting the impression that I?d be best served by switching over to LR Classic. Does this sound right? Suggestions for the best way to learn it? Adobe?s Classroom in a Book? YouTube? Commercial sites? ?howard > On Dec 19, 2019, at 1:33 PM, Tina Manley via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> > wrote: > > You can still use LR Classic with your own hard drives and local storage. > That's what I do.
