O boy O boy, a chance to talk about storage strategies. Thanks to those who outlined theirs, there was some thought-provoking stuff in there. Here’s mine.
I have a folder named “Current” on my small fast SSD boot disk. I have a hierarchy YYYY/YYYY-MM on a big slow old-fashioned disk drive. I always import into Current on the small fast boot disk. That’s where they live while I’m actually working on them, discarding duds, etc. When there are several months worth of photos built up there, I run through the oldest couple of months, do a quick keywording pass, and move them (with Lightroom, so it can keep the catalog pointers right) into the appropriate YYYY/YYYY-MM. Keywording is definitely faster when you do a few hundred in a row, the Lr keyword picker remembers what you’ve been using. Not claiming it’d work for anyone else, but it sure is easy to understand and remember. -T On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 3:38 PM, Walt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all! > > Finally, after years of using Picasa, IrfanView and a few Photoshop plugins, > I finally decided to break down and get some decent image editing software > for my new setup.
