glenerrolrd, if you have already done the basic initial folder organization using another software (e.g., Capture One), then if you subsequently use LR, you can simply import the images into LR without moving/copying them (i.e., import them "in place"). This effectively causes LR's catalog to link to the raw files wherever they happen to be organized. You can perform this import just by dragging and dropping the folder from the Finder/Explorer to the LR catalog window.
