Photo Management

Managing photos --
I use Canon Software for getting pics off my digital camera. The software automatically puts the pics in folders with a date name. All pics of the same date go in the same folder.

I love this feature. I like sorting all my photos by date taken.

I hate the Canon software -- and only use it cuz it puts the photos in date folders.

Picasa - let's you name the folder. That's ok. But when downloading 100 pics from 3 different days -- that's some manual management. I want it to work automatically - but want to stop using the Canon software.

Any ideas?

ACDSee 9? or some of earlier 8 or possibly 7?

If you search the forum you should be able to find several topics on this.

When I was looking for a good image viewer, I downloaded, tried and compared a lot of them, and decided to keep the outstanding FastStone Image Viewer, the one that also theMezz recommends.
It's a very good, fast, advanced and free image library/organizer/converter/renamer and also has a separately launchable viewer (e.g. to view pictures very quickly when browsing your computer).

I generally use Irfanview for the little image viewing/management that I do.

It's free too.

i got rid of the paw photo manager. it was just not as good as it sounded.

i went back to the windows explorer, i just keep picking the folder i want to save in to when i save the photo from what ever program i used to edit it. of course it is easier since i used xteq set up to put a link to the folder i use for artwork in the list of the save window panel.

but that is how i once again do it.

Glad you like it - I think it's really impressive as is fastStone's screen capture utility too. I cannot believe it's all freeware - no spam - no spyware - no ads - it simply works well.

I've been giving FastStone a try over the last couple of days. It's got some nice features. I generally use irfan view but will keep a copy of FastStone.

What's so special about screen capture utilities? Isn't that what your Print Screen button is for? It's not that big a deal to slice'n'dice a screen shot into smaller chunks

I use Breeze Systems downloader pro for getting images off the camera into the folder format I want - which is based on the month and day from the exif data.

I then use Microsoft Digital Image Pro for organising and editing my pictures. It isn't as comprehensive as Photoshop, but much faster and easier to use.
