Nilla showed a screen shot of how she had her images organized, which made me wonder how others organize their images.

The program I use to keep organized is Portfolio 6. I use the date system, each image is given a name.... eg. 060104-0001, 060104-0002, which is mm/dd/yy-image#.

I keep them in seperated Albums... B&W, Digital, Color Negative, Transparencies, and another for Family Album...

Once I burn them to disc I keyword them by categories, eg. docks, children, water, etc....

When I'm looking for something in particular, I call up the keywords in one or more albums and all images with those keywords will come up. I can then find the discs that they are on...

It can be a lot of work to organize initially, but it's fairly easy to find something when I need it...
