[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 447126, member: 10784"] Don, How are you making out on the Cataloging? Your post and Jake's (plus others) responses got me motivated to start.... I have over 10000 to wade through... (Will be deleting the junk as I go) The hardest part was generating a structure... after watching some videos, I am continuing as follows: 1. All imports will continue to be in dated folders by month/year. This has worked for several years for me. If there is a special event, it will be in a folder names by date & event. 2. Tags - Primary catalog id and sort will be Tags. I will have tags for all prime subjects and under that sub sets.. for example Family - Pat, Lyn, etc Scenic - Mountains, lakes, rivers, trees refuge Night - Lights, Moon, Sunrise, Sunset HDR Wildlife - mammals, birds, reptiles... Portraits Pets - Dogs, Cats, Herbie, Jingles.... Industrial Architecture - Buildings, Bridges, Churches and more... :) 3. I can then sort on the Main tags, and select my Favorites (or Best).. These will then be added to collections By Prime Subject and match my website Other collections will be created for anything special such as my "52 in 2015" or my photos for the "Grand Tour of GA" If anyone see's a major "flaw" in this, please holler....
