[QUOTE="lorenbrothers, post: 508290, member: 41042"] Everybody is going to have a different method of organizing .. for me I do basically like you. Everything straight from the camera goes to a folder called 'originals' (all 40,000 of them) where they are batch filed by date first then basic description (2015-06-21 CAMPOUT) Then if I make alterations to a photograph I create sub-folders named depending on what I did (CROPPED, ART, B/W, etc.) The photographs in the sub-folders that I feel are of special note get transferred to another drive and sorted into another series of folder by usage (ART > B/W > BUILDINGS, etc) or occasion (EX-WIFE'S FUNERAL, COMPETITIONS 2014, etc) Under no circumstances do I delete any of the originals (unless they are hopelessly buggered up) and any changes are always placed in a separate folder. Took me a while to learn my lessons the hard way. ;) lol [/QUOTE]
