Lightroom Workflow & File Organization 
Folder Organization on your Jump Drive: 	

Lightroom Catalog: A catalog is the structure or database of lightroom. Your catalog tracks the location of files and remembers information about them.  
-	Your catalog DOES NOT contain any photos, what it does contain: 
o	Preview info 
o	File location 
o	Metadata
o	Develop module settings 
o	Ratings 
o	Keywords
o	Collections 
**If you move photographs outside of the folder you put them into, Lightroom will not be able to locate those files unless you redirect the folder.
