Organising photos with folders and naming: try it yourself

1. Date Format

Name folders “2025-06-15_Portrait_Practice”.

2. Keyword Tags

In Lightroom, tag photos: “portrait,” “landscape,” “family.”

3. Star Ratings

Give 1-5 stars; sort by best later.

4. Delete Session

After import, mark obvious mistakes and duplicates, but do not rush to delete anything until you know the import and backup are complete. Keep the selection process separate from proving that your files are safely copied.

5. Backup Rule

Originals → Edit folder → Cloud backup (3 copies!).
