I have watched several of Will’s videos on setting up a Synology and utilizing Lightroom as part of the workflow. I notice that he says he puts all the RAW files in a single folder. I have always createdd a folder for each specific photo event, then in that folder created a folder called RAW and put all the RAW files from that event in there. I was wondering how well it works trying to find a specific event when everything is in a single folder? Did I hear him correct that this is the way he does it? Do you find events by adding keywords or IPTC template data to photos?
Does anyone have a quick reference sheet on how to setup a photography work flow for using a Synology as your main storage/archive for photography?
For example I usually setup my folders like this:
20240301-BoysVarsityBasketball-Johnson-vs-Jackson
Then under it I would have a folder called RAW, 1 called CULLED and one called EDITS or DENOISED, etc.
I am sure there are better ways to get organized. Any guidance, suggestions etc. are greatly appreciated.
I am purchasing a new Synology and want to set it up the best most efficient way from the beginning before our busy season gets started in the next few weeks. Thank you!
