Here's how I do it: <BR/><BR/>I file all of my photos in a heirarchal folder system that's intuitive to use and expandable as I add new subjects. Suppose I shoot the Grand Canyon... I would create a folder called "Grand Canyon", which would be filed uner "Arizona" which in turn falls under my a high level "US Landscapes" folder.<BR/><BR/>Within my subject folders, I store the RAW files and any that I've converted to TIFFS. All my jpeg previews go in a parallel folder system. <BR/><BR/>I use Breezebrowser Pro software for browsing and initial culling. It's lightening fast at generating the images.... and quite easy to use. When I want to do a RAW conversion or other work on a photo, I have Breezebrowser set so I just click on the photo and it launches me right into Photoshop for image editing. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!<BR/>Ethan-Ethan Meleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924290992556030486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25633559.post-22928034873842755682008-06-06T15:29:00.000-04:002008-06-06T15:29:00.000-04:00Great shot, indeed.A general question for you: how...Great shot, indeed.<BR/><BR/>A general question for you: how do you keep track of and organize all your shots? If you are running Windows, which software do you use?<BR/><BR/>I have Canon 30D and it came with ZoomBrowser (ZB). What bugs me about ZB is that it gets horribly slow when there are lots of folders and subfolders. This is because it tries to show thumbnails of everything (e.g. lots of tiny thumbnails of everything inside each folder). Any advice on software (preferably economical) which enables sorting and viewing of images would be great. <BR/><BR/>I already have Adobe Photoshop CS2 for when there is retouching to do (which I do only rarely). All I need is something that lets me weed through pictures quickly and organize them efficiency. What do you recommend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25633559.post-83268787535902172782008-06-02T18:13:00.000-04:002008-06-02T18:13:00.000-04:00Lucky shot Ethan.Lucky shot Ethan.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100878473305244759noreply@blogger.com
