I know everyone has different ways of managing photo's, I'm just interested as to how many ways people go from taking the photo to uploading it or storing or whatever.
- For me, take card out of my camera, plug it into my PC.
- Open in Canon's Digital Photo Professional.
- Select all and use quick check tool, then reject pictures that are out of focus, poorly composed, duplicates or just crap.
- Rate pictures that are good, 3 or 4 star. These are the pictures I'll work on first if there are too many to process in one go or if I don't need all the pictures.
- Select all the pictures I want to work on, then open the edit window
- If needed, adjust exposure, white balance, levels, sharpness, etc. Also Open in Photoshop if I'm feeling brave.
- Export to JPG format in My Pictures\Album Name\
- Copy RAW files to My Pictures\Album Name\RAW\
- Use Faststone to add watermark, border and resize if needed, output to My Pictures\Album Name\Web\
I'm still not sure if I should name my folders differently, as my photo collection increases, I'm finding it harder to come up with a good way of indexing everything.
