Needless to say, I can go on and on
with different combinations of recipes.
But this is where you get to play and
create your own organization to fit your
needs. But considering that first drop-
down menu where we set our Smart
Collection criteria, the list of things at
our fingertips and the combinations we
can create are seemingly endless. We
can create Smart Collections for Star
Ratings, Color Labels, Smart Previews,
specific folders, RAW files, different
types of RAW files, by date, camera,
camera lens, camera settings, and the
list goes on and on. As powerful as the
Library Filter is, Smart Collections
will take your ability to organize your
archive to a whole new level.
Setting The Stage
A.A. Milne, creator of the beloved bear
Winnie-the-Pooh, once said, “Organiz-
ing is what you do before you do some-
thing, so that when you do it, it is not all
mixed up.” Organization sets the stage
for us. As we invest in our gear, end-
lessly practice our craft in the pursuit
of a compelling frame, spend count-
less hours in front of our screens sifting
through our work to find those hidden
gems and devote even more blood, sweat
and tears to developing our images, it
would be nice to know there’s a reward
for all of our efforts.
`That reward differs for all of us. For
some, it’s simply making a fine print.
For others, it’s generating well-crafted
images for a commercial client, and, for
others, it’s producing heaps of content for
distributing on social media. Whatever
the reward, we now know, looking back
through this article series, that organiza-
tion means many things. We can organize
our images categorically, organize for
application, by quality and by state. And
the more organized we are, the more time
we put into keeping our house in order,
the better our stage is set, the less mixed
up we are as we output what we’ve pro-
duced, then the more we’ve maximized
our potential as we exhibit what we love
and share with others our vision for our
craft—the ultimate reward, indeed. Stay
organized, everyone! OPSee more of Jason Bradley’s work at

automatically set aside undeveloped images from a recent trip (Alaska is used as
an example here) that have been flagged because they have potential.
