    483 KB Organizing photos on your computer Creep 10/05/09(Mon)15:04 No.554874  
    Hey /p/,

    Just curious to see if any of you have developed or found efficient ways to organize your images on your computer, be it with clever arranging of your folders or through specific software.

    As for myself, I've only been involved with photography for maybe 7-8 months, but have amassed a few thousand photos. I will typically give the folder a relevant title and the date of the shoot. Problem is is that I have numerous folders of images within just one parent folder "Nikon Images". Is this a total fucking n00b way or what?

    What do you do to keep things organized, /p/?

    I usually organize my photos by the month when it was shot. Occasionally I use Google's Picasa.

    bridge is really useful for organising photos. they go into folders with month/day on them, and photo style, common subjects, locations are added to keywords also. means i can bring up any photo i'm thinking of with 3 or 4 filters.

    are you serious? can you not even lurk two threads down? jesus christ.

    and the only right way to organize your photos is harddrive:\photos\year\month\date. it's easy to do by hand, too. i did 20,000 photos in about an hour, and that's with figuring out the whole workflow on the fly. you can do it in half the time by:

    1) Create your year folders. Go into one, create a month for every date. Copy and paste the empty folders from one year into the others.

    2) Go into a month folder. Create 31 folders for every day. (if you're a windows fag, alt - f - w - f in rapid succession is your best friend.) Copy and paste them into every month folder for every year.

    3) Go into a big fucking folder of photos. Go into details view. Sort by Date Picture Taken. Get to it.

    Is it that hard? I make it a point to copy and organize everything to that folder and to backup every time I come home so I don't end up with random folders on the desktop.
