Do you need to work with catalogs? I just import my images and away I go, I make collections. Somehow though I end up sometimes with a lot of extra images that I don't know where they came from, just duplicates and triples and I'm not sure if they are virtual copies or not, I haven't really looked to see if I can tell somehow. I think that it's in all photos is where I see the duplicates. This may be a dumb question, but as I don't need so many can I delete some and save the originals and will the originals be easy to recognize? #2. Deleting from backup, do you have a video on that? Organization is one of my very weakest areas. Can you help me? My problem is twofold:

I have a lot of images that I processed using Lightroom 2. Now I have Lightroom 3 and every time I open the images that was under the LR 2 program is being asked to be converted to LR3 so I click okay but all my images disappear or it can't be located and opened. What step am I missing or are those images gone. Thank you, Santi I have a question. I have a lot of images that I processed using Lightroom 2.

It is getting impossibly hard to find the one that i am looking for. Is there a way to combine them all? That would be awesome. I have multiple lighroom catalogs.

Really ... from the bottom of my heart! (Okay, I looked for this answer in a Scott Kelby book before coming to your blog tonight.) I back up my LR3 catalog daily. I use LR a lot more than I ever figured I would, and I just learned I have 39 GB of old catalog backups. Nobody ever seemed to say in print it was okay to get rid of the old ones. Thank you! Matt,

(or any other view for that matter) I know that there are rated ones. I can filter for starred photos, but I no longer see the grayed out little dots to click on that used to show up or the stars for rated ones. I upgraded to Lightroom 3 yesterday and I still don't see them. It's annoying to keep having to switch the filter on and off to see if I have rated a picture. Is there a way to get that star rating visible again? Thanks. I cannot see the stars on the individual photos in the library gird view.

I'm a "for free and for fun" photographer, too. Just started using LR3. Your workflow makes sense to me, not likely and not because I'm not a pro, but I think it would even make sense to a pro. I'm going to adopt. Thanks for the tips! -- =Jeff Scott…
