Hi,
I have perhaps 300 photo shoots per year, which I import with Lightroom to my laptop hard disk into date (year-month-day) specific folders. Each session could amount to 300-400 photos, out of which I edit perhaps 30 in Photoshop. From these edited photos (.PSD) I assemble some collections for different purposes across the days and months.
Due to the nature of my edits the PSDs become very large, quite often between 1 and 2 GB in size. I therefore once in a while need to export edited images to JPG and delete original RAWs and PSDs. I store my edited JPGs in a different archive folder in the same catalog, parallell with the yearly top level folders, "Archive" and then sub folders for each year.
The question is how I could "re-create" or mirror the collection structure for those images I export and archive? Ideally I would like to replace all images (PSDs) in a collection with their JPG counterparts when exporting the JPGs to the archive folder. After which I could proceed to deleting the RAWs and PSDs.
Any thoughts?
Rgds,
Carolina

See https://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/jbeardsworth/syncomatic/. It can sync the collections (and other metadata) from one type of file to another, usually based on matching their file names.
