Your Pictures

Tonight I finally completed the whole editing process I was inflicting to my 173GB of music. Everything is renamed, classified and organised by artist, then album, then music.

My next plan is to classify my pictures. I still dont have a good classifying method where i could get acces to them easily. I type a lot so changing all those DSC00000.jpg wont be a prob.

my way of doing so so far is renaming everypic in one folder like

mardigras (01).jpg
mardigras (02).jpg
mardigras (03).jpg
mardigras (04).jpg and so on then after the number i add special description like

mardigras (01) sakgenla.jpg
mardigras (02) kissing my mom marsy.jpg
mardigras (03) flying my plane.jpg
mardigras (04) sebastien a_girl woot marsha.jpg

So far this is what i have as method, because unlike ID3 tags pictures have EXIF but its a whole other worls and most software dpont know exif.

SO far my method is working, because either in iPhoto, Picasa, or just searching it will let me find exactly what i need.

ANybody know any better method before i edit my 7,105 pictures

screen shots in next post to help understand

My music folder classification by artist

My music folder artist view then album

My picture folder work in progress, unless ya'll got something better

Why not just use the comments/keywords functionality in iPhoto or Aperture to organize your images? They would still be searchable, you could make smart albums based on certain criteria, etc.
