Lightroom Collections: the Big Drawback

Before discussing the nuts and bolts of using Lightroom 2 to catalog our photo library, I do want to mention one cautionary note about "collections."

While the ability to create collections or smart collections or "nested groupings" (a concept developed by Peter Krough in his superb DAM Book) is one of the most valuable features of Lightroom, sadly they cannot be shared between and among multiple users, not yet at any rate.

The important thing is that, as I understand it, catalogs can be shared among different users, and that's something we'll look into more closely in future postings.
