No, I use File Info in PSCS2 for that. I wish there was one program to do it all but I'm very satisfied with the workflow that I've got now using several. PhotoShop is best for me for keywording and captioning and once I fill out the File Info, usually using Metadata templates, that goes with the photo anywhere I send it. >I'm not so sure I need a big monster database either. > >My idea was to just use one big external harddisk and move it from >laptop to desktop. I do that with the wonderful, tiny little Seagate external hard drives that come in 100, 120, and 160GB and are about the size and weight of pack of cards. I have 6 of them that I use back and forth from laptop to desktop and take on trips instead of digital albums. >What I don't like is that I don't understand what is happening, what >Lightroom is doing, with the files when you import them. I've ordered a book on Lightroom by Martin Evening and I'm doing the tutorials offered on Luminous Landscape. I hope that will help me understand what's going on. I wish Adobe would come out with a bigger, better manual for Lightroom. Good luck!! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
