Dave, A timely comment as I am just checking my files. Most of the digital stuff is organized by camera. The formats/file sizes are a bit different as in Sony S85, *istDS, and K10d. The scanned film is just losely dumped into a location. The Sony S85 had a folder and series of files. After the *istDS I went to PS Elements, so that's one organization. And to get the K10d raw processed, I upgraded to PS Elements 5.0. This added another organization. :-( not a simple upgrade. Today I'm making sure I've got all those photos backed up. The basement computer was a back-up, but overflowed to an external harddrive. And I've got an old, dying laptop and two more portable backup harddrives.
(One was a 60Gig replacement for the dying laptop's drive. I spent a while yesterday figuring out that I'd never formated the hardware. It would mount and be recognized on my computers, but never got a drive letter, so it was inaccessible! Th vendor's site helped out a lot.) With saving raw files, storage is mounting up. I find that it is easier to buy more storage than sort the images. Luckily, prices are falling. Regards, Bob S.
