Organising your digital photos

Folders

Regardless of whether or not you use a digital organization program, using multiple folders to store your images on your computer is a good idea. There will be times when you want to access photos directly instead of through your organizer program and folders will make the job easier.

Digital Organizers

Most photo editing (digital darkroom) programs now include their own organizers. Although some offer more features than others, most of these work on the same idea. This is that as you upload images the software reads the camera EXIF data (shutter speed, aperture, lens mm, date) and sorts the images accordingly in a search feature (regardless of where you save the images). While this auto sort does group images together, it isn't very helpful as most of us prefer to find images by subject rather than by shutter speed. Stronger organizer programs offer the ability to add custom information, or tags, to your images as you upload them. Common tags include subject and keywords. These custom tags make it much easier to locate images later as they will match the way you personally think about the images.

Strategies for Organizing

Regardless of if you use folders or a digital organization program, you need to have a strategy for your organization. This will vary a bit from person to person because each of us thinks differently. For example, some people may prefer to file "sunsets" under "nature" but others would put them under "scenics". What your categories are does not matter as much as making sure you can remember them and be consistent.

Printing

Another option opened by the increase in technology is the advent of printing photos on canvas

You can now have your memories placed on your wall on high quality cotton canvas, many companies such as Canvas Prints Online offer a lifetime gaurantee on their products so you can be sure that you are buying a high quality product.
