If anyone can offer any help or even just words of wisdom/confidence boosting then it'd be much appreciated. I guess I'm trying to make sure I hit the ground running before I find myself in far too deep with a very clunky method! Is there any third party backup methods people would recommend instead of/along side Time Machine? I've loosely read about Carbon Copy Cloner and various others.Īll of the above considered with the cloud based Lightroom, am I right in thinking I'd never have a backup of the edited images unless exported from Lightroom? What best do I do with 256gb of internal SSD storage, 1 Tb of external HDD and 2Tb of external HDD storage and then 1Tb of Adobe cloud storage?Ĭan I utilise Time Machine to backup one HDD to the other or am I fine to just copy and paste manually? The latter doesn't really feel like a robust method and I definitely put off doing so. I just don't know where to start! Which after a few hours of reading has made me question whether I want to switch to Lr Classic and utilise my SSD storage! My brain is officially scrambled. All in all, I'm enjoying the editing process.īut now I'm finding myself diving down a rabbit hole with regard to backing up photos/data. It's also extremely easy to open my phone, find my photos in the Lr app, export and upload to social media. I'm following Victoria's star rating method and setting up folders/keywords. I've calibrated the screen within the Apple monitor settings and have since had printed a photo with (what I think) is good success. So far I've enjoyed the layout as well the subtle hints and tips on the sliders. Whilst trying this machine out, I setup a Lightroom (Cloud based) trial after much research on the differences between Classic and Lr. I've never owned a Macbook before, let alone had a good laptop so this thing is bloody lovely to use despite its age. Specs are as follows: Macbook Pro Retina 13" (Early 2015), 2.7 GHz i5, 16gb ram, 256gb SSD. Summer was fine as I like to cycle but with the winter months looming, I thought it was a great time to invest in a more robust photo managing/editing workflow than just uploading to my phone and learn to finally use Lightroom.Ī good friend of mine offered me his old Macbook which is now my current machine. Like a lot of people, I found myself on furlough for a lot of time this year. I'd upload to my phone what I wanted to share to social media (with free Lightroom mobile editing) and then I'd periodically save all to an external HDD and then doubly saved (copy+paste) to an additional external HDD. jpg+raw when I thought I'd want to play with proper editing tools. I'm also a little lighter in the wallet with a few additional lenses in my pack as well as now (poorly) dabbling in the world of film photography! My camera has become a constant companion. Fast forward to now and I have amassed a little less than 100gb of photos from various countries, trips, hikes, streets etc. I picked up a Sony A6000 just over 4 years ago now when I found myself wanting to shoot the surrounding landscape when I lived in North Wales. My name's Paul, I'm 34 years old living in tier 4 London, UK. Good afternoon and a happy Christmas to you all.
