Hi gang, and happy Friday! Just a quickie today, just for Lightroom Classic users, but it’s kinda important — especially if you’re working on a laptop or a desktop computer where you’re constantly running out of free space. If you do regular backups of your catalog (and I’m hoping you do when you see that dialog above, which appears when you quit Lightroom Classic), it will make a COPY of your entire catalog.

Worse yet, after a couple of weeks, they’re so outdated that those older ones become useless anyway....
