Fantastic video as usual. I learned something new :) about HDR and Pano. I added a few more about Denoise and Super Resolution based on your original ideas. I also have a few more collections which I have been using for a while now. Like.. Orientation / Aperture ranges / Various shutter speeds / File Format ( NEF / DNG / JPEG) / GPS coordinates and locations...etc

Todd, great stuff/ BTW, I created the smart collection for finding rejected images. Found a bunch thruout my catalog. Unfortunately, I can't delete from the collection and have to go back to the folder(s) where the file(s) reside and delete from there.

Thanks for this video! I often create 16x10 and 16x9 crops of my images to use as backgrounds for my MacBook and external display, respectively. I add a tag (16x9with the aspect ratio in these cases, and have been using metadata to search them. I have not used smart collections before, and it seems like it would be very helpful for sorting them.

Thank you! Could you let me know what focal length you used for this video (35mm or 24mm)? Also, which monopod did you use-was it the iFootage Cobra 2 or the iFootage Cobra 3 mini tripod? One more question: why do you use a filter in your studio? What benefit did it provide for this video?

This was somewhere around 28-35mm. Closer to 35mm, I believe. Almost all my videos are shot at that focal length. I just used a normal tripod for this (not an iFootage one). As for the filter, I use a Tiffen Glimmer Glass. I like how it decreases clarity a bit and adds a soft bloom/glow to practical lights.

Hello Todd! You ever revisit your old shoots in your catalog, flip through all the photos you originally dismissed, and thought to yourself... "Hey! These are actually pretty good!" After enough time has passed, I find myself looking at all the "crap" shots with a fresh set of eyes. Anyway that's the premise for the youtube short I posted today. Check it out if you like having fun, and have 51 seconds to spare. Thanks for sharing btw! My catalog is a real dumpster fire. Never messed with smart collections, but these seem real handy!

I haven’t watched all the way through yet, but did you mention what becomes of the images in the collections once the time expires (today, this week, this month, etc.)? Do they just drop out or do they go to a smart collection with a longer time period? Good video. A little quick in choosing the collection criteria, but good. Thanks. Geoff

Great video Todd. I've had a subscription to Adobes Photography Plan for years and never used any form of Collections, BUT you've opened my eyes and I can see all sorts of things I can now set up for my 96,000 catalogue of photos, so many many thanks for opening my eyes. Cheers from the UK Todd

I'm glad to find I already use many of these! Funnily enough, I feel like these were habits built from the Aperture days that I feel lightroom is still behind on. :( I always double-check my rejected images before I delete. Reject as I go then review, mass delete later. I'm also a fan of creating collections for each of my primary lenses. I also use the filter 'not in a collection' which is a smart folder that helps me find all my 'unorganized' images, like if I didn't put something in a collection, that's a hint it might be hard to find later. When I have a trip, I create smart collections using the date for each day, and put those in a collection set for that trip. Easier than using search.

Thanks for the great productivity video, but I personally work smarter on different software, saving some money (no pricey subscription payments) and nobody spying on me and my photos. Which both means a lot to me. Peace

My monthly cloud hosting bill through Adobe would skyrocket compared to hosting files locally and backing up to Backblaze. If Adobe's cloud hosting costs were lower, and I managed fewer images, absolutely. This is part of the reason why Adobe continues to support Classic (for now at least).

Stop shilling for Adobe, you should be furious how they lock the user out of the app they have paid subscription for unless they agree to their egregious terms of agreement.
