I am so excited. I was suspicious that my backups were taking up too much space and following your easy tutorial helped me free up 12 GB of space- how great! Many thanks. Oh my hells bells!

Thinking to put the catalog on the same drive along with the pics. Does this seem a good idea? Then If I duplicate the 1st drive to the 2nd using Retrospect or Super Duper will I be able to work with the second disk as if it were the 1st incase that one dies? I'm wondering if the 2nd drive has a different name that might throw things off for LR app? I'd like to backup not just the images but also all those tweaks & keywords & ratings in the catalog. Be nice to have the catalog right with the pics incase I'm away with my laptop & someone wants to use the developed pics. Whats the best workflow for this? Any suggestions? Thanks, Jean.

As with any low-level disk utility, make sure everything is backed up on another drive before doing so. I use the free tool AusLogics Disk Defrag, which supposedly does a much better job than the built-in Windows defrag tool (Mac users can try out iDefrag, which I've heard is the only one worth using for Mac but costs a small fee; fragmentation is generally less of a problem on Macs) The tips in Scott's article will get a bigger bang for the buck, but defragmenting can get you that last 1-2% improvement, and less time thrashing on the drives usually translates not only into faster performance but less chance of a corrupted catalog (it's happened to me a couple times).

I use Spyder to calibrate my monitor. A last night I got the "your calibration is out of date, calibrate now" message and I clicked no because I was surfing the web at the time. Well a few hours later is when I opened LR and had that mess. The calibration message never crossed my mind. So I just calibrated the monitor and now all is right with LR again so apparently Spyder must talk to LR and when you say no it tells LR not to work. Now we have all learned a new bug to watch out for. Well I fixed the problem based on a “maybe suggestion I received in an email.

I went to start up LR tonite to follow Scott's directions and as soon as it opened all my photo's looked like this in both develop and folders: http://www.renysplace.com/LTexample.jpg What has happened? I didnt change anything at all. I tried to load a backed up version and the same thing happens. I looked at the actual folders where the photo's live and they are all okay but my LR is apparently sick. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thanks Kelly Hi Scott – Can anyone help me with this.

The slow grind, "now what's wrong" is a thing of the past. Once again sorting through a large photo session is a joy, not a labor. Thanks! Scott,
