[itdiscuss] organizing pictures

[Stone, Dave]

We use Picasa from Google...it searches really well across multiple
sources. It's quick, easy to use, easy to search (even searches the
names of folders pics live in), and even has some decent photo editing
tools built-in.

 

Biggest drawback is that each client must maintain it's own database of
images. Not a huge problem, except when a brand new client comes online
it takes a couple of days to index all our content. But then they are
good to go.

I have a funny dilemma that I want some other ideas on.  Our church has
a photo team.  What we're doing now seems to be crazy; pictures are
taken and stored on a certain computer, and organized in Windows via
folder hierarchy, by date, event, etc...  It takes a lot of work to sort
the photos, and for backup, what they've been doing is just copying that
folder to an external hard drive.  The only good thing is that the
pictures are being backed up, and if we need a picture that has been
deleted, we can simply restore.  There are a lot of things I don't like,
such as the time it takes to organize them, and the fact that there's a
'to organize' folder that we just backup as well.  I was thinking of
just setting up a RAID 1 for them, but their fear is that if they delete
one picture it's gone from both drives...but the chances of that
happening aren't very likely.
