Need Photo Organization Help
How do you organize your pictures? I have thousands of pictures at work that I need to figure out an organization system for. We need to finds ways to label them so they can be sorted/ searched, and have information attached. Is there a system that does this? Any program recs?
TIA!
Re: Need Photo Organization Help
Photoshop Elements has an organizational feature with tags. I personally have over 10,000 photos organized with it, but it's just on the one computer. I don't know if you're looking for something that can be used systemwide or just on a pc.
You of course can make any tag you want, and I have them tagged with people, events, etc.
And it lets me easily change the file name -- I change every file name to reflect the date I took the photo. ie: i'll choose all of the pictures I took today, select rename and put 2010-03-15 and it'll add a "-01" etc to the end. Super fast. I do that when I download them onto the computer so I don't have a ton of DSC_987u987 or IMG_97239478 files. That way even just looking at the file name I have some info.
Hope that helps some. I'm not sure what other kind of info you want to put on them.

It's going to need to be on a shared network. I worry that with PSE not everyone could access it. Also, we need to add photographer's credit and a list of keywords i.e. project name, staff name, detailed elements.
As for file structure, I organize personal photos by Year then event, so "2010/NewYears" or "2010/NewCar", etc. I've also seen alot of people stick the month in there too, so 2010/March/StPattysDay.
For my sessions, I usually organize by Year, then LastName, and then (optionally) session type, so 2010/Cross/Newborn
Lightroom and Adobe Bridge are good organizers (Bridge comes with PS Elements too, if I remember correctly). Picasa is another program that you can download to help you organize/tag, and it's free.
