How can you organize digital photos if you don't have a computer? We bought a digital camera and photo printer for my in-laws a couple years ago. They do not own a computer and do not want one. They have been able to print photos, but they don't have a way to back them up or organize them into folders. We can do this for them, but I'm wondering if there is another way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How do you organize digital photos?

Tips to organize my digital photos?? I have thousands of digital photos saved on my computer and a lot are doubles and they are spread all over my computer and I dk how to organize them!!

How can I best organize my digital photos, which I put on the hard drive using various programs.? My computer has Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, Adobe Album Starter 3, Picasa2, FinePix, HP Image Zone, ArcSoft PhotoImpression 4, and probably others. I've confused myself, but each one seemed an improvement at the time. I like the way Picasa arranges the pix and I like the versatility of Elements. To make things worse, I don't always give file names, so most of them are called DSC something. The instruction manuals seem to be written by aliens from a former planet no longer recognized by our scientists.

How do you organize and store your digital camera photos? I'm trying to figure out a way to backup and keep all my digital camera photos.

What do you all think is best?

When I save digital photos to my hard drive, how should I organize them--with photo software or folders? I save digital images from the web. What's the smartest method for keeping them organized--manually saving them in labeled folders in My Documents, or saving all the photos in just one folder unlabeled and use software like Paint Shop Album or Photoshop Album to tag and organize them? What should I do when I want to delete some photos...should I always delete from within the photo organizer software?

Shomi 7" Digital Photo Frame - How Do I Organize Photos? I bought the white 7" photo frame as a Christmas present. I uploaded 60 photos which played fine. Then I was asked to upload 40 more. Okay. But there are two small problems: (1) I deleted everything from the memory card then re-added all the photos after renaming them to assure they are all in alphabetical order. Yet the photos will not play in order. Yes, I know the frame has a random play option. It is NOT set on random. (2) One particular photo will not show at all. This was so before I added the second bunch. Yes, it's the correct format, a jpg.

Good system for organizing and saving digital photos? I have a ton of pictures and no system for organizing them. I am backing them up to an external hard drive. Any suggestions for good ways to organize pictures? And do you back them up to a hard drive or a CD? Thanks!

I'm looking for Digital Photo software to organize and rename photos? I'm not looking for editing software, and I can't remember the name of the software that I need. A few years ago, I downloaded a software program that was "smart enough" (AI) to recognize similar photos, among thousands of image files. Also it can rename the files in batches and even change the dates on them if needed. There is so much that this software can do. I have thousands of these photos from the past years, on dozens of DVDs and CDs, and need to put them all on one disk or two disks, without duplicate the file names or duplicate images of different names taking up space and adding confusion. Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Why did my digital photos print 2 cm smaller than the 10x15 format I selected? I recently got digital photos printed so I can organize them and put them into albums. Well, I selected the 10x15 option and a few days later when I came to pick up the prints, they were actually 10x13. I was wondering if there was anyone who had any idea why this might be?

Looking for ways to organize my huge collection of digital photos.? In addition to all of my digital pictures, I have been scanning in hundreds more of my paper photos from my film camera days. So far I have my pics grouped in folders by subject or location. For the pictures of multiple people, I have them in a "misc" folder and all pix are numbered. I guess I am just looking for ideas I may not have thought of that will allow me to do a search and find the pic I am, looking for. I know this will require me to rename most of the numbered pix to actual titles rather than just numbers. It seems there must be a better way than to name a group pic something like "John-Jenny-Tom-James-Tony-Mike.jpg" especially when there are LOTS of such group pix from various time periods. Is there a way to maybe put the names of all the subjects in the comments section of the pic and have descriptive words in the comments (tag) be searchable? For example have a pic titled "001.jpg" with all the names plus maybe a brief description in the comments under properties. If the word Seaworld (for example) is in the comments, can I do a search for "seaworld" and find that pic even though it is titled "001.jpg"? Anyways hopefully someone understands my question in this gibberish ;) Thanks

What's your best way for organizing your digital photos? Currently I simply have my photos in the original folders off of my cameras. Then I usually add months and years to them so that they are basically in order. I.E. I have a folder for this month and I will name it 2010 08 August. This keeps the photos organized numerically because when they are listed, the oldest ones will be first, 2010 will come before 2011 and the 08 is for the 8th month August and I only add August so it's easier to find by looking at it quickly. So when looking at several months they will be listed like this: 2010 03 March 2010 04 April 2010 05 May This seems to work out ok,but I have so many folders and if I'm looking for a picture that I took of say a tree that looked really great covered in snow,I would have to remember what month,year I took it in, in order to find it. Unless I took the time to name or tag the photo. So if I had one large folder it would be easier to bring up medium icons to find the photo instead of having to go through and open, say every winter month folder. So,believing there's always a better way,I post this question to everyone on Yahoo Answers, what do you think is the best way to organize my photos? BTW I have thousands of pictures...

What is the best website to turn my digital family photos into a hardbound book? I know that you can do this using a Mac and iPhoto. How do you do this using a PC? I have heard there are websites where you can upload your photos, organize them, and customize the pages. Then the company (for a fee of course) sends you a hardbound book. My question is: Which website is the best...the most affordable...the easiest to use?

Is there a tagging standard in digital photo organizing? I have a lot of digital photos (37gb!) and get by pretty much with a manual folder system and several photo Org programs. I want to go to a tagging system but I'm unsure of where/how the data is kept. Is it in the file or a separate database? And if in the file, where? And is it standardized so different photo organizers can use the same set of tags? I've experimented and have found no real standardization. If there are no standards, what is the most popular tagging method that keeps the tags in the photo file itself? I'd like to pick the best system before I tackle the 37 gb of photos!

What is the best way to organise digital photo files on your PC for easy viewing? (The actual files).? I know there are services like Picasa to organise 'views' of the files but what is a good tool/way to organise the files so that when viewing them in Media Centre they are structured nicely?

I need a good Freeware for sorting,organizing,and renaming Digital Photos for a Digital Photo Frame Slideshow? Okay, so I have tried many different file organization and management tools from Cnet (FileRename, RenameIt, and a couple others). They all opened the files in the same order that they display in my folder (sorted by name) and there is no ability to move the pictures around and change up the order before the renaming process. Ultimately what I want is a program in which I can organize my pictures in my own specific order but not by date, name, or any other sort criteria. I have about 200 photos of family members and I want to be able to mix them up and make a slideshow with randomized pictures of my choosing. The other problem is the Digital Photo Frame that I am putting the photos onto only has a "Sort by Name" function, so it plays the files in the filename order. I started manually numbering the photos but that is a chore and you have to do it like this 1, 10, 11, 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, 2, 20, 21 etc. Can anyone help me with a program that can do this ?

Recently began taking digital photos. I'd like to organize, store, slightly edit & print. What Program to use? I'm not a pro, neither in computers nor in photography, so I want something basic and easy to use

Managing digital photos online? I've just returned from a trip to Greece and I am looking for a good way to organize and manage my photos from there. I don't have/can't afford to buy any fancy software- I just want to rotate, crop, resize, etc. and possibly order a few large framed prints or a photo book. Where can I do this easily online, or is there any free software I can download?

What is the best way to organize and manage thousands of digital family photos? I'm in the process of having several thousand family photos scanned. The next step will be titling, labeling, tagging them and making them available online. I love the feature set of Flickr -- but I'm concerned about whether I can count on them as a truly permanent archive. It's not that I wouldn't keep copies elsewhere, but I expect that many people will be involved in tagging the photos, and I don't want to lose the tags themselves. (As far as I know, you can't export the photos with the tags...) Should I just run my own media server? Thanks! :) Nick - Thanks for the detailed answer. I am definitely on the same page as you. Is it possible to pull photos from Flickr with all of the tag information intact?

What is the best way to organize and edit photos? I'm wanting to do more with my photos but I am finding it all so time consuming. What is the best way to store my photos, edit them and share them? I currently download the photos from my digital camera onto my computer. Then I edit them on Picnik and then I upload them to Flickr. I find using Adobe Photoshop is too complicated with all of the layers. Any other suggestions?

Digital Photo Organizing/Management? I'm looking for the best program to organize my digital photos for a specific project. The project entails digitally sticking photographs together to form panoramas. I am looking for software that will allow me to lay the photos on a virtual type desk and size them and everything so I can pick through the good ones (i.e. not blurry or to grainy) to put into photoshop or microsoft ICE. Does such software exist? If so what is it and where can I get it?

What would be faster for basic graphics (internet and photos): ATI Radeon HD 3200 or Intel GMA 4500M? Most budget-level laptops I've seen have either ATI Radeon HD 3200 or Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M? Are the pretty comparable, or is one better than the other? I'll mainly be doing internet browsing and organizing my digital photos. Little to no gaming.

Do any brands of digital frames include photo organization options? I have purchased and returned three different digital photo frames. They all suffer from the same feature lack - they don't allow for any photo organization. What is the point of having hundreds or thousands of pictures on a flash card in the frame when all they do is cycle through all of them. Just as I would have my physical photos organized into albums, I organize my digital pics into directories and folders (xmas 2005, Cabo trip, dog pics, etc) and I fully expected that these photo frames would allow me to select and display by these groupings. Ideally, they should have the ability of software organizers like Picassa to attach keywords and display across logical groupings by keyword(s) as well. This ability seems so logical that I am confounded every time I try a digital frame and find that it totally lacks this basic function. (Here is a suggestion for the manufacturers - build a unit that is directly compatible with Picassa or other qualilty photo organizer).

How much will Adobe Lightroom sell for once it comes out of beta? Adobe Lightroom is an interesting piece of software for processing and organizing digital photos. While it is in beta-testing, it is a free time-limited download at the Adobe Labs website. (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom/) However, I couldn't find any mention of pricing once the software is released. Is there any advance information on pricing? Is Adobe planning to sell it to the retail consumer market or to the high-end photography market?

Digital Photo Frame question- I organize my pictures on the memory stick on my laptop, displays out of order? on the digital photo frame. I move all the pictures around on the memory stick for the digital photo frame so that they are all in sequence, and then when I go to put it in the digital photo frame it comes up all out of order. On the laptop, Ive tried doing the sorting by date, or by name, but there are more than one camera used with wrong dates and times, and different picture file names, so I have to manually move the pictures. Is there a way to save the reorganization on the memory stick so that it comes up the same way on the digital photo frame?

Do you still print out all of your photos or leave them in digital files? I have so many photos that I have printed out, and I just wonder if I should stop printing them all out and just keep them organized on my computer and save them to disc. Also, sort of a silly question, but when you buy albums to put your photos in..........do they always match the others that you have? All of my albums are different size, shape, color, etc. Should I get all matching albums for my next born?

Does anyone keep their digital photos solely on an online photo storage site? I'm trying to get organized and I feel like it's redundant keeping my photos on my computer and uploading them to an online photo share site. What are some of the drawbacks to consider in keeping them solely on an online site? Ok...after some research and reading responses, I think I have come to a decision...I think I will use Picasa - It looks like something I can organize my photos with on my own computer...and create back-up DVDs with...AND it appears that I can share directly from Picasa w/email...not to mention order prints from various vendors through them as well...Problem solved! Or are there drawbacks there too...if so, please share!

Which PDA / Handheld(s) synch best with a MacBook Pro? Will using one FINALLY get me organized? I am SO frustrated with my To-Do lists and ideas on scraps of paper getting lost, paying bills late, feeling overwhelmed and like I never get ahead of things. I bought a MacBook Pro and hope maybe if I learn the iLife apps I can make life simpler. (Maybe one of these days I'll organize my digital photos in iPhoto!) I'm thinking if I begin to use iCal - then have it synch to a handheld where my To Dos are with me wherever I go, perhaps I can finally be organized. Am I dreaming or will this help me finally get my act together? I'd love advice on which handheld will work best! I don't need email or internet browsing on my handheld. Should I get one that's also a cell phone, like the Treo? If so, which wireless carrier is best?

What is the best photo organizer software for scanned photos? I am a major Picasa fan for organizing my new digital pictures, but it doesn't work as well for scanned pictures.

Is there a good program available for this?

how can i print labels for photos? I need to print a list of numbers, preferably on a set of labels, so that i can organize an assortment of photos. Is there a way to do this in excel? {i also have print shop 22, open office, ms digital image suite} if not, does anyone know of a free prog. that might do this??? the only way i can figure out is to do each one individually, and that would take for ever and a day {it would be quicker to just use a pen} TIA, ~Star

Any suggestions on how to organize family history and photos when the older generation is all gone? I have come into many photo's, letters and other documents of historical value. These chronical my family's life and times from around WWI to the present. Some notes are chilling and refer to being caught between two armies locked in combat. Most is probably just mundane junk, but there is a lot to go through. All of the older generation is gone and I feel it a duty to pass on the experiences of my family as best I can to my children and future generations. Unfortunately, my dad threw some stuff out before he died. I remember seeing photos of burned out tanks near bridges, etc. Many photos are in bad shape (and I won't spend a fortune to restore them) so I've gone and had digital reprints made with minor enhancements which should last at least 50 years. Eventually I would like to write it all down and describe as many of the people in the photos as I can and estimate an approximate year taken. I suppose this will take years to do as I have little time and so much material. Eventually, I would like to get it down on a CD format - I hope these last for a century or more. As a kid, I used to hear the 'old ones' talk about the war and their prewar lives and their ultimate journey to America. Unfortunately, most of it went in one ear and out the other, though bits and pieces are coming back. I want to leave this information for future generations, yet fear if I don't do it and something happens to me, then it will be all lost. Sadly, it took me 50 years to realize the importance of my family's survival through two world wars, I wish I had listened better as a kid. Do you have any suggestions, thoughts or words of wisdom?

How to force files to play in a specific order on SD card? Hello, I am setting up a gift, it is a digital photo frame which I am loading with an SD card pre-loaded with photos.

How do you make a digital camara save you time and money? Looking at a clip of images takes forever to bring up and clean up, then there's the question of comparing "photos" and finally organising them . Time can be saved by processing all photos on a clip at a store, but this hardly makes economic sense. I use the program zoombrowser which came with the camara.

Is there a free software program that will allow me to add photos from my digital camera, and then reorganize? I clean foreclosed homes for a living and i take about 150 photos of each house. First I take all the before photos, then action photos, then after photos. When i get home, i have to load all the pics onto my computer, compress them and email them to my boss. The problem is, that they want them organized into befre/after, before/after, before after. I am able to move them around, but once they are sent, they go bcack to the original order. Ive tried several programs, and nothing is ever as it seems.HELP

If I take pictures (with my digital camera) of products that I sell as a distributor, what program? If I take pictures (with my digital camera) of products that I sell as a distributor, what program? would I need to use to take those pictures and place them on various pages? I want to make some sales sheets or booklets with the pictures of the products that I sell. I want to be able to move the pictures around until I find the pattern and order od where and how I want the booklet to be organized. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I want to do ALL the work myself. The only thing I "MIGHT" do is bring it to a printing company and have them actually do the printing for me. This is a BIG maybe. But keep this in mind when asnwering the question. The main thing I am looking for in this question is how to organize the layout of various photos taken from a digital camera. I want to move the pictures of the products from one page to another rather easily until I get it just the way I want it.

Photo Organization? Hello. I would like to know what possibile ways there are to go about organizing photos. Like many people, I have tons of photos scattered about in my closet. Most of them (if not all) are not in any kind of albums. They're just everywhere. I would like advice on how to go about organizing everything. Old prints, negatives, and digital. I want to know if I should invest in albums, scrapbooks, computer/online storage, etc. Most likely a combination of these things. Basically, I want them organized and I want them easy to access. My goals after organiztion will be to perhaps get them into frames, portfolios, give out, etc. But until then, I would like to know how I should go about organizing them ALL. What I need to buy, how to get started with this mess, how to get them all together, etc. Any/all ideas will be appreciated. Thank you! [Serious answers only please.]

Organizing Photos? When it comes to each of the ways to organize photos: digital camera photos and film camera photos and if you put them on disks, in albums, in boxes, and on websites, what ways do you organize them personally: by year, person, date?

I know other people got the same problem. I was just wondering what categories you can think of.

What's the best way to organize lots of photos using a MacBook and a network harddrive? I recently bought a ReadyNas Duo network hardrive (NAS) which has 500 GB of storage (protected via RAID) with the intent of using it to store my wife's photo library. We've been taking digital photos for 8 years now and have amassed a library of 80 GB (and with a cute 2 year old son, we're acquiring photos at about 2 GB a month) which is far too big for her MacBook Pro's harddrive. My problem is I haven't figured out a way to host the photos on the NAS without creating performance problems. What should I do? What do others with lots of photos do? My requirements: * Store original photos on the NAS (protected by RAID) * Upload the best 10% to Flickr * Ideally use iPhoto (my wife love's it) to view photos on NAS (but don't have to use it to "organize") Thanks! Preston

How can i print a list of numbers on labels? I need to print a list of numbers, preferably on a set of labels, so that i can organize an assortment of photos. Is there a way to do this in excel? {i also have print shop 22, open office, ms digital image suite} if not, does anyone know of a free prog. that might do this??? the only way i can figure out is to do each one individually, and that would take for ever and a day {it would be quicker to just use a pen} TIA, ~Star

Thumbnail software. Any good ones to organize? I have so many digital pictures on various Cd's, and now I want to organize them onto a few DVDs. Unfortunately, as with Digital cameras, a lot of the files have the same exact name. I remember a program that could actually organize picture with "Artificial Intelligence". It actually recognized similar and identical photos.

Where should I store my Digital Pics.....? Well I started using a digital camera in 2001 and by now I've collected more than 20 gigs of photos. They're all organized on CDs. How long do CDs last? or should I store them on an external hard drive? (obviously, I'de like them to last for another 50 years...)

I am having some trouble organizing my pictures on files on my computer.? I know how easy but after I download them I can't find them. Maybe I have too many places to put them? They are everywhere and then if I am in a certain program like Wal-Mart digital photo manager I can't do anything with them. I tried to change all of them into MY PICTURES. It worked really well until I deleted the SHARED FILES and apparently that was not a good idea because I lost them all! Also, if anyone knows What are Thumbs? and are they important? They are everywhere but I can't open them. Sorry, but I am getting so frustrated. I would really appreciate some help.

But before I dig more into it and start using it seriously, I want to know if there is any other software which you feel is better than this. I want to use this software only for organization and searching purpose. I am not concered about editing features etc. I can spend no more than $200 on buying this new sofware. Please suggest based on your personal experiences

Best photo album (program or online) for digital pics? Can be online or not or both. Not necessarily enhancing or editing much, mostly organizing and sharing. Just curious what other people use and what works best.

When you get a new computer, what files do you move with you? I carry several files in semi-organized folders, as follows: Digital Camera files (sorted by year-month) Videos (Safe for Work) Videos (NSFW) (photos follow the same pattern) Junk Folder (all the stuff cluttering My Documents) Crap Folder (all the stuff cluttering my Desktop) Programs (primary software I need to run in any computer) Advanced Programs (my secondary stash of 1337 softwares) Game Files (mods, saves, etc of several games, sorted in folders named after each game) Bookmarks (a single backup file with all my Firefox favorites) iTunes Folder (all my music, old videos and podcasts cramped in one big folder) Also hidden as subfolders: Extreme Crap (a stack of amazing software that are either incompatible or outdated, but I never delete it) Bull s*** (research files and study documents, powerpoint presentations, etc) So what files do you take with you, as opposed to leaving to sink with your ship?
