So, how do you deal with the thousands of images you end up accumulating?
I’m using Elements Organiser which now supports RAW files since I figured out how to set it up. Files are imported using it into date folders of when they’re imported, not taken. Haven’t managed to do much tagging though so it’s all a big mess.
I also have just accumulated all my images rather than selectively deleting them to save space.
I’ve been shooting in large JPG + RAW, but I am now thinking I’ll change that to 1024×768 JPG + RAW or perhaps even smaller since all I use JPGs for is quick uploads to web.
Organiser reminded me about backups the other day, and I then remembered that Maplin have a 1.5Tb USB hard drive for £50 or something silly. Can’t really beat that.
Anyone know if powered external drives are faster than the portable kind for bulk transfer? Or is USB the limiting factor? What about firewire?
