I only use my blog as a place for showcasing my photos. To date, I've never even printed one of my images. As for organizing, since it's blog only, I sort by Year, Month, Blog post title. Any I don't use on the blog but want to keep gets placed in the Misc. file - one per month. The rest (the vast majority) get the trash can!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-29745661337898742502015-03-17T00:34:23.561-04:002015-03-17T00:34:23.561-04:00Lovely images!

I make 2 folders for each month, downloading current one to 4March2015 and after editing the chosen few, saving to 2015 March. When I first insert the SD Card, I open in Bridge and use the rename tool to save to the first folder as follows: 2 fields, first being 4 digits which I copy from the last 4 digits in the camera-assigned number, and the second being an identifying name such as a place. <br />I usually brighten the pics slightly, resize, and add meta text, and then paste in a Copyright statement before saving for web. When desired I make other refinements too, especially cropping.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763547174099448920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-35921541699038079972015-03-16T16:25:47.438-04:002015-03-16T16:25:47.438-04:00when i did not see snow, i thought i was in the wr...when i did not see snow, i thought i was in the wrong place!! i don't and have never edited my pictures. i guess everyone can tell that!! i always enjoy what i see when i load my pictures, i never felt the need to alter or perfect them. i am a perfectionist in other areas....but it would be all consuming if i tried to edit my images. just my very humble opinion, these are all beautiful!!!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-89297674735454105882015-03-16T16:04:17.733-04:002015-03-16T16:04:17.733-04:00Wow all are very pretty.

I hardly ever edit mine and once I look at them I decide which ones to put on my blog that day and then delete the rest. I save very few pictures.

I've been using Lightroom for a year now, and it does help with organization - you can tag photos with keywords. However, I usually remember dates, so I can find a specific shot.Linda W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00805197763483105000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-70127848886110279802015-03-16T10:33:42.202-04:002015-03-16T10:33:42.202-04:00Beautiful photos - the last of which is just super...Beautiful photos - the last of which is just superb! I use an iMac, and iPhoto for my organizing of all my photos; I use Adobe Photoshop Elements for all my processing; I copy everything instantly to an external drive after processing them. I also move the originals to that same hard drive. I create individual folders for each year; in that folder I place more individual folders: Scenic, Birds, Pets/Livestock, Wildlife, etc. I've found it works really well for me. So far, I have 12 years worth of photos on two Western Digital external Hard Drives. The second is an exact replica of the first one (in case one fails). I keep the present year, and one prior year folder on my actual computer at a time.This method works well for me.Montanagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428565909247665015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-72693097396376164602015-03-16T09:07:34.293-04:002015-03-16T09:07:34.293-04:00FG, the picture of the birds in the nest is fabulo...FG, the picture of the birds in the nest is fabulous, and they are looking right at us!Linda Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237332954767037400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-10372619221911765092015-03-16T08:58:48.494-04:002015-03-16T08:58:48.494-04:00I gasped at that last picture.

Fortunately for me as an Apple fan, I download my pictures from my camera into "Events" that help me keep them organized. Every once in awhile I will remove an Event to a hard disk to keep my laptop from filling up too much. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-871186813165626822015-03-16T08:26:40.043-04:002015-03-16T08:26:40.043-04:00Thank you for sharing this information.

I don't know what I would be doing today if it wasn't for my son's expert help on both of these things. Young folks are so articulate about cameras and computers.I have learned many ways to handle these techno products but I still have a long way to go. It is obvious that you know how to bring the best out in your photos. Lightroom is the app I use too. I have a nice file system for my photos but I am sorry I can't begin to tell you how to set it up (again my son helped me set this) . If I find out what he used to set it up I will let you know. I loved your photos today. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-82047763721047143412015-03-15T23:40:16.416-04:002015-03-15T23:40:16.416-04:00Yes, I have thoroughly enjoyed you sharing your pr...Yes, I have thoroughly enjoyed you sharing your progression in photography. These have been very interesting posts, and I have learnt from them.<br />I organise my photos in folders of months and then dates. All photos are tagged with key words so easy to find.

Those birds are awesome!<br /><br />For me, each 'outing' has its own folder and, in case of multiple visits, they are listed by date for that year. <br /><br />I have a copy of all photos (the current year) on my computer. Like JoAnn, I have a copy of all the photos I have ever taken on an external drive (but not at the bank--it's just in case my computer crashes). I also upload them all to cyberspace (through Picasa) with each year having its own gmail address. <br /><br />As for editing,I don't do a lot of editing for my photoblog. I have found Photoscape quite satisfactory because it has more tools than Picasa and is very simple to use. It's free at photoscape.org<br /><br />Hope this helps.

When I edit/crop ...Great photos - love the colors. When I edit/crop my photos I put them into folders with dates and then further I add key words to the title of the photo - example: bird eagle Mt Baker Pole Rd - giving me several prompts for looking up the photo later - I can search eagle or bird or Baker or Pole Rd (the location where I saw the eagle) - the more I put into the description the easier it is to later find the image if I want to do a series on any of those topics or a collage. One thing to remember is that Picasa does NOT save your photos - it only is a listing of the photos in your computer so it is a good idea to have a backup - I back up to a 1T external hard drive that lives in the safe deposit box at the bank (once every two months) plus I use on online backup called Backblaze - it saves photos and you can access it from any computer.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-90294747037232974312015-03-15T21:04:26.359-04:002015-03-15T21:04:26.359-04:00These are beautiful photos.

I have my photos saved in Picasa where I can keep them in folders under months or topics like trips or special occasions. They are all dated as well. I do some editing in Picasa and also in PicMonkey. I don't know if this is the answer to your question on organizing photos but hope it helps. Have a good week ahead.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.com
