How do you lot organise your photos and where you have stored back ups etc.
Specialist programs, apps or Excel, Access templates available ?, or do I have to create my own. Thanks in advance

I upload everything to my desktop PC. I have a portable hard drive that runs a backup programme on startup and if I want to add anything here I upload individual pics to Photobucket so I have something to link to.
In terms of organisation, the Canon utility that pulls new pics from my camera to the PC creates folders for each day I took pictures. There may well be some more complex methods out there but this simple approach is enough for the volume of shots I take.

Adobe lightroom or bridge are very good for organising but I'm sure there are free apps that let you do the same functionality.
My general workflow involves: download everything from the card whilst tagging it with any information like month, location, people (just typed phrases) Preview pictures and rate any that I think I can do anything with as 1 star, filter my view for developing down to 1 star rated and process them as necessary. Increase rating on any that turn out good, usually 2-3 stars but 4 sometimes. This means along with the metadata captured by the camera (lens info, date, f-stop) and the rating I can preview my library of pictures in a number of ways. I can select show me pictures I've tagged as "Delamere Forest" that have a rating of 2 of greater which instantly shows my decent pictures from there. It seems a hassle to tag images with data and then rating them as such but it pays off later. Does anyone know of software which does that kind of thing for free? |

The EOS Utility that was on the CD in the camera box does it? It prompts for a comment before it uploads when you plug the lead into the camera. Not sure about already-uploaded pics as I've not tried.
