All language subtitles for 45 - Exporting and Administering Collections

Now that we have all our collections set
and our collections created,

we'll show you how to administer them

to rename or delete

a collection set or a collection,
simply right click on it

and you have the option to rename
or delete it from this menu.

Another interesting thing we can do is

we can export a collection
as its own catalog.

So for example, I've right
clicked on the BMW

collection and I'm going to go to export
this collection as a catalog.

From there

I just give this catalog a name

and I'll click the export catalog button.

So that catalog is exported

and I can go ahead and open it
by going to file open

and selecting the catalog

that was just created.

Lightroom will ask
if I want to relaunch with this catalog.

I'll click relaunch,

and this is the
backup prompt that we configured earlier.

Remember I asked Lightroom to backup
the catalog every time I closed Lightroom?

I don't want it to do it right now,
so I have the option to skip this.

I'll click Skip this time.

So here's our new catalog

with the images
that were in the BMW collection.

I'll go back to our previous catalog file.

Open recent and it's catalog one.

So again, I have to relaunch Lightroom

and here's our original catalog.

Now, one other thing to point out here
is, as you can see,

the BMW collection is still here
with all its images.

Exporting a collection doesn't remove it
from the original collection.

Everything else stays the same.

Now, to delete an image from a collection,

you can simply right
click on it and remove from collection.

If you

wanted to remove multiple images
from the collection, hold the shift key

or the command key and select each image
you want to remove

and do the same thing.

A shortcut method to removing them
is to just press

the delete key on your keyboard
to add an image to a collection.

We can go back to all photographs.

One way to add it is to just drag
the thumbnail of the image

you want to add on
to the desired collection.

So for example,
if I wanted to add image 21 here

into my fall collection,

I just drag it over and let go

and you can see that
it's now in the fall collection.

I don't actually want it in there,
so I'm going to click on it

and I'm going to remove it.
