Dave, my system is as follows: I have two main folders - K10D (where I store unsorted stuff, which of course can be called Unsorted, but I am too lazy to rename it) - Digital (where I store the sorted stuff) It goes like this: K10D\-MM-DD - short description

Hi Dave, I generally only use 2 cameras at any time, more would get confusing. Does it really matter which camera took the image? The image records it anyway. I just load all the images into a single directory, changing the name as I go to something meaningful, usually the location at which

I used to keep track of things by camera, but gave it up. It's too confusing and there really isn't much point to it. Several years now I have used the directory structure: / in_progress / MMDD - tag completed_work / YYNNN - tag - MMDD - Each session's work is

When I'm working with film images (I still have *tons* of negatives) the scans are incorporated into my directory tree as posted prior. I edit the TIFF scan file's metadata and keywords to establish which camera and the approximate date the exposures were made. New negatives are put into

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

It sounds much too complicated... Then again I only have two dslrs and I haven't come up with a good method, and seldom use them at the same time so archiving should be relatively easy, (any yet somehow it isn't). David J Brooks wrote: Back when i only had one dslr, i just made a yearly

Thats what i'm finding now. Abit unorganized and dificult to tell or remember what is backed up or not. Sounds like a main directory and then set up like Cotty or Godfrey, with code for the camera maybe. I don't use LR or Elements to download, i drag and drop from the card reader to the folder

I'm changing my management organization now, and removing the camera-specific hierarchy. My plan is : Directory structure: ImageLibrary/mmdd-tag/ Image filenames are renamed to: MMDD-HHMM-origname. I'd use the database tool to determine any camera differences. Like Bob, I'm also

You don't have to perform the file download from card to computer using LR or PSE, all you have to do is organize your file system and download to the appropriate directories. Using Lightroom's facilities to do the downloading does have its other benefits ... I have LR automatically assign
