Evaluating iMatch with Lightroom Classic - what to look for

[philburton]

I am eager to start an iMatch trial, but I'm a bit concerned about all the features in iMatch.  What should I focus on in both iMatch and Lightroom?  What is secondary or items I can safely ignore?

Keywording is important to me.  Also I am about to scan many thousand slides and negatives.  Any special considerations there?

I would start with

First Steps
Meet IMatch

and the free tutorial videos in the IMatch Learning Center.

Make sure Lightroom has written all metadata (it does not do this by default).
IMatch will automatically pick up all metadata Lr has written, including keywords.
