I've got Bridge.
If not, organizing your files is fairly simple, since your camera
will number them sequentially. All you really have to do is arrange
them in folders with key word descriptions.
My inclination would be to view the images, select those I want to
keep, assign names when appropriate, and then file them in folders
with names that have meaning to me, e.g., associated with the
occasion around which the images were created. Sounds like that
might not be advised?
Whatever works for you is good if it allows you to retrieve the file
you want. I simply download the entire camera folder onto a drive and
name it for the date and content. For example "7-14-10 farmers
market". If the folder hasn't been backed up yet, it's "b7-14-10
farmers market." I keep the RAWs in the folder and return edited
versions there as well with new names. If everything in the folder
relates to the folder name, I usually just use the camera file number
as the file name, but remove the letter prefix. In some cases, I
assign a file name to the image that includes the date. For example:
"grace71310." Either way, I'll be able to find any file by searching
for a folder or file name. Because Bridge recognizes the dates as a
sequence, it arranges the folders chronologically.
