Lightroom & Digital Archiving with Stephen Mallon (Part 2 of 2)

Lightroom & Digital Archiving: A Two-Part Workshop Series with Stephen Mallon

Part Two: Archiving Practice — Building a Digital Asset Management (DAM) System

In part two, we shift from editing to organizing for the long term. Stephen covers how to turn a growing catalog into a searchable, sustainable digital archive — the practices that let you (or anyone else) find the right image years later. Time permitting, we'll also revisit masking for anyone who wants a second pass.

Topics covered:

• Digital Asset Management (DAM) fundamentals — why archiving practice matters
• Titles: writing useful, consistent image titles
• Google sheets print archive
• Keywords: building a keyword structure that actually gets used
• Star ratings: a practical rating workflow for editing down a shoot
• Using collections to organize

Part One: Lightroom 101 — Building a Working Foundation
