    How to Organize Digital Photos Like The Professionals

    So we all have hundreds if not thousands of digital photo's on our internal and external hard drives, but the questions is how do we organize them like the pro's do? Here is how I plan on doing it.

    How to Organize Digital Photos Like The Professionals
    Right now I have an I:\ drive where I store all of my photo's along with other needful items that I do not plan on listing here. Well one of my directories is:

    Pictures

    Inside of my pictures directories I have:
  • Photo's
  • PSD's
  • Wallpaper
  • Web

    Photo's is what we are looking at in this entry. Well I figured that the easiest way to organize your pictures is by creating a directory. (which I have) that describes the images stored with in it. eg: Halloween 2008 Inside of my Halloween 2008 folder I have pictures of Milani trick-or-treating (my daughter). Well rather than labeling the directory, 'Halloween 2008'...I plan on listing it as:

    2008-10-31 - Halloween Windows will recognize the year 2008 first, the month, and final the day and place them in sequential order.

    Once you have placed all your pictures in directories, and properly labeled them by year, month, day. It is now time to use your favorite photo management software. Many of the pro's use expression, but personally I enjoy using Adobe Light Room for meta labeling, and Google Picasa for facial remembrance.

    Either path you choose to take, Adobe Light Room, Google Picasa, or another 3rd party program always label the directories of the images that you purge from your camera on to your PC.

    Here is a list of my primary directories in my Picture folder. Your are more than welcomed to use this as an outline for your digital photo organization.
    1. Animals
    2. Architecture
    3. Environment
    4. Events
    5. Family
    6. Friends
    7. Home
    8. Objects
    9. Office
    10. Screenshots
    11. Travel
    12. Work

    Eventually I plan on revamping / optimizing my primary directories by year, but for now this suites me well. Should you have any recommendations or suggestions I welcome you to comment below. Thanks

    How to Make Windows 7 Upgrade a Full Install

    Explain on how to create a complete walkthrough on how to make Windows 7 Upgrade a full install. Paul Thurott and a friend over at the SuperSite Blog have worked out how to perform a clean Windows 7 install using the upgrade disc. Come again?

    That's right: save $80 and buy the Windows 7 Upgrade disc, because you can use it to perform a clean, full-featured installation.

    How to Make Windows 7 Upgrade a Full Install

    1. Perform a clean installation using the Upgrade disc -- this should work without a hitch.
    2. Make sure there are no Windows Updates pending -- if there's an orange shield icon next to the Shutdown button in the Start Menu, that means you need to reboot before attempting the next steps.
    3. Open 'regedit.exe' from the Start Menu -- just type it in there, where it says: Search programs and files. Accept the User Account Control dialogue that pops up to give yourself Windows 7 superpowers.
    4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/
    5. Change MediaBootInstall from '1' to '0'
    6. Open the Start Menu again and type 'cmd' -- use ctrl+shift+enter to run it as an elevated-permissions user
    7. Finally, type slmgr /rearm -- and press enter.


    Your computer will now reboot and run the Activate Windows utility. Type in your product key aaaaaaand, as the SuperSite Blog says.



    Resize from Geocities by Peter Bone

    Resize software by Peter Bone. I use to use this software back in the day. Excellent image software for batch resizing. I am posting this as an entry becouse Geocities is going down permanently on October 25, 2009. So to pay tribute I am posting this for everyone else to enjoy.

    As stated from the website.
    Resize allows you to resize images. Reduction is done by pixel averaging, which gives much better quality than sub-sampling. The program allows you to resize a batch of images and also convert to JPEG. This is useful for creating thumbnails for web pages or resizing the frames for animated gifs.



    The resizing algorithm produces high quality images because it uses all available information from the source image. Most other image resizing software only use a small amount of information from the source image.
