Digital Photo Organizing

Where are your digital photos NOW?
Are they somewhere on your computer?
Are they still on your digital camera?

Start with your most current photos and work backward. If you try to start with old photos you may never catch up. Once you can manage your current photos and create a storage and retrieval system, you can start on organizing old photos.

Organize Your Photos-
 Get pictures off of Camera quickly – Create a “DUMP” file in My Pictures
 Create a Main Folder in My Pictures by year
 Put categories and sub-categories into main folder by events and date
 Label photos in your “DUMP” and move to sub-folders.


Back up photos-
• Use an external hard drive – great if your computer crashes but not in a fire
• Back up On-line – BEST CHOICE

Display Your Photos-
• Using digital photo frames
• Print and Frame
