Re: organizing digital photographs

I use a software program called Adobe Photoshop Elements. It automatically imports my photos from my camera. I have choices on where to store them on my computer so I create a suitably named folder as part of the import. What I like about this program is that I can add "tags" to the pictures so that I can find every picture of my dog Kirby if I wanted to. I have tags for each of my grandchildren as well as a global tag of "grands". You can view the photos by a number of perspectives including calendar view. It also contains an editor which comes in handy when I have to crop a picture. So, if you wanted to categorize your quilt photos, you could tag them with a block name. You can create as many tags as you need.

Just a suggestion.

So far my photos are stored by date according to when they were

some hope of locating them later. Any suggestions?

Someone on this group has a chart type box on each of their quilt
photos which lists information like pattern, dates, who received. I
would like to create something like that. Any suggestions? Susan

I tend to file mine by project and date...

A good way to archive them is either on CDR or memory stick. Sticks are so cheap these days that you can archive loads in a very small physical space.
