Digital Photo Work Flow: Tips And Tricks About Manipulating Your Photos

In this article, I share 'tips and tricks' based on experiences during the managing of my digital photo work flow.

For a while typically the following scenario happened to me:

* I shot a lot of pictures with my camera,

* I transferred these onto my computer nd

* they ended up there for a while ;-) living in chaos

When I want to show some photos to friend or family, it was not that obvious to give them a quick, complete and clear overview on a specific topic/theme.

Recently, I decided to come up with a more structured way of dealing with my photos: a kind of 'photo work flow'.

I came up with several issues/questions to tackle:

* I did not (or nearly) have the habit of deleting photos

* how to get rid of meaningless names of photos and movies?

* how to easily search for pictures showing person 'X'

* ...

To solve issues like these, I like to use

1. scripts based on command line tools for 'batch' processing. I.e. applying operations on a large set of photos

These scripts are mainly Linux oriented, but the scripts can also be used under Windows (e.g. using Cygwin)

Note: the 'one liners' can easily be copy/pasted into the terminal. The script (multiple lines) should be copy/paste into a text document (e.g. run.sh). Next, they can executed by typing e.g. ./run.sh (eventually the script should be made executable: chmod +x run.sh)

2. open Source software (e.g jBrout) for the more GUI oriented needs

You can pick whatever 'tips and tricks' you like. Probably some good all-in-one packages exist, but these 'tips and tricks' can give inspiration if one wants to customize a particular functionality.
