My Lightroom Classic catalog has grown messy and unreliable. I’m overwhelmed by duplicate files, an unstructured folder hierarchy, and an old backup routine that no longer keeps pace with my workload. I already have a backup solution in place, yet it clearly needs optimisation rather than a complete replacement. Here’s exactly what I need from you: • Removing duplicate photos without risking originals • Organising the entire photo library into a logical folder and keyword system • Setting up an automated, dependable backup workflow that fits my current drive structure, confirms data integrity, and can be restored quickly if required We’ll work within the existing catalog (Mac-based) and I’d like to finish with a short walkthrough so I understand how to keep everything tidy going forward. If you’re confident handling large Lightroom libraries and can show past success with similar clean-ups, let’s talk.

The unreliable Lightroom catalog, with its duplicate files and unstructured folders, needs a direct fix. I will use Lightroom's tools to find and remove duplicates, then implement a logical folder and keyword system, also building a new automated backup workflow. This workflow will use scripting on your Mac to verify data integrity before backing up to your existing structure, ensuring quick restore. How many years has this Lightroom catalog been in use? I need your confirmation before proceeding. I have a 5.0 rating across 10 reviews on here, and Preferred Freelancer status.
