[itdiscuss] organizing pictures

[Roger Wright]

+1 for Picasa!  Great tool for organizing, tweaking, and sharing photos.
It's biggest benefit (in my option) is that all changes are saved in an .ini
file so the original is never altered.

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.
