[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 443858, member: 9240"] One more thing on how I do it. I import to a dated folder where I will tag and rate images and delete the crap. It can take me 3-4 months to get through some bigger days, so every quarter I go back to the last month (May 1st I'll be doing February) and organizing that month into subjects and deleting all the stuff that I'm no longer convinced is desirable (only after backing it up first) and move the remaining stuff into the Subject Matter organization that I want to have at the end of the year when I'm done with the madness. I am in the middle of getting some network attached storage set up which will hopefully save on some of the madness I experience regarding the location of photos (I keep all catalogs on my laptop w/ Smart Previews for any 4+ Star Photos of catalogs where the actual image files have been migrated to externals). Everyone has to figure that part out for themselves depending on the amount of storage you have. Everything needs to be backed up redundantly, and back up your current catalog at least once a week, and old ones any time you need to change something in them. [/QUOTE]
