Many photographers that use Lightroom 3 typically still work in the same default Catalog that came as a default when the software was installed. If you do know know what a Lightroom Catalog is, no worries, we will help you along since I am sure this new method will apply to you. For those that don't know, continuing to work in the SAME catalog for several years will drastically diminish it's efficiency because every time you load the application it's referencing a VERY large catalog which can include thousands of photo thumbnails, edit recipes and settings etc.


I highly recommend creating a NEW Lightroom Catalog every new year simply to help speed up the performance of Lightroom. I've been doing this for the past couple of years and I've found it very beneficial. Follow the link below in order to learn how to create new Lightroom catalogs and start seeing the speed benefits immediately!

You still may be toting around various camera and lens user manuals in your camera bags which only take up space and add weight to your rig. If you own an iPhone chances are you have that on you person almost 24 hours a day as do I so why not store those all important user manuals on your iPhone so that they're available at any given time?


I've been doing just that for quite some time and I've written up a complete How To explaination on how you too can store any and all of your user manuals on your iPhone. It makes things so much more convenient and it also makes your camera bag lighter!
