I couldn't work without LR. I do add keywords when I add the photos and am
adding keywords for all of the photos I'm scanning. I have 258,245 photos
in the database so far and would not be able to find anything without LR.
Now I can search by keywords, date, camera used, lens used, film used,
rating, names, places, almost anything you can think of. I use it many,
many times a day, but that's what I do.
