Photo organizing software? |
|
Can anyone recommend software to organize photographs? I don't need it to edit photos, just organize them.
I have almost 100 Gb of photos stored in folders on my hard drive by date. That's all well and good, unless I am looking for pictures of my cat. Then I have to click through all the folders looking for pictures of him. Or, if I want to find pictures of Sicily. I've been there on two separate occasions and thus they are in separate folders. Or, wildflowers, I take lots of pictures of wildflowers. I have pictures of flowers from Korea and Sicily, from spring, summer, and fall. What if I want to look at all wildflowers? Or only those from Sicily? Or those from Korea but from a certain area? Is there any software that will allow you to tag photos and then view photos with the tag "cat" or "Sicily" or "flowers + Korea + Upo," or even by a certain month and year?

1. If you have a Mac you can use smart folders |
|
Bridge will let you tag them. iPhoto (Mac again) lets you tag and does facial recognition, also location recognition.
I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I know about.

Which allows each photo to be tagged with keywords. So if I want a cat photo, I can just search for "Cat" and all the photos I tagged will pop up. Problem is you have to tag them. Going through thousands of photos to do so is a long project.

4. It moves along rather quickly |
|
I love Lightroom and it's easy to block a group of photos and tag that block with one or multiple tags at the same time. Plus I love the ability to rate and color code your shots, makes the workflow move very quickly.

one I could do when not feeling well. Thanks for the heads up on Lightroom. It sounds like what I am looking for.

3. Zoner Photo Studio Is Good |
|
It will let you categorize, sub categorize, key words and it's also a pretty good photo editing program.
