Timely too since at least one LR “expert” is proposing people just pile images into “dumb collection” which are so easy to break and are proprietary, where at least using metadata to build smart collections means, you’re pretty likely to be able to rebuild them easily OR if you change DAM packages, at least you have good metadata to fall back on. When I was unable to move from LR2 to 3beta (can’t convert older catalogs yet), guess what happened to all those dumb collections? Gone! But all smart collections were super easy and fast to rebuild. Bad idea to lump all your eggs into one proprietary basket. That’s why a strong folder structure is safe today and into the future. Nice piece!

This will be something I will try in the near future. I have to admit I love all the sliders in Lightroom, but that I never have given the smart collections much thought.
