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 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.
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 External Links A photography software program developed by Adobe Systems for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, designed to assist professional photographers in managing thousands of digital images and doing post production work. Picasa is a software download from Google that helps you organize, edit, and share your photos. It's free, and easy to use. |

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. Download Resizer http://rapidshare.com/files/297718723/Resize_Version_Multi_Lang_2.7_Final.zip |

This entry explains How to Delete or Uninstall Internet Explorer Add-Ons. I read on the microsoft website today that the end user is not able to uninstall / remove Internet Explorer Add-On's. Well you know me, I won't settle for that. How to Uninstall / Remove Internet Explorer Add-Ons, here is how I figured it out.
Easy enough? Wonder if MS overlooked this. Now then, if the Remove button is not highlighted or it does not allow you to remove the Add-On, this means that their is a program that you installed associated with the Internet Explorer Add-On. To fix this, simply remove the installed program, and if needed start from step 1 of this entry. Should you have any questions, leave a comment. |

Updated! - 10.11.09 Windows 7 64-BIT Driver for M-AUDIO Fast Track Ultra So I decided to do some gaming today on the PC. I rarely do it...for the fact that I feel that I am ignoring my family while I proceed to frag the opposing team. Well today I found out that on my NEW PC that my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio / mini is not supported by Windows 7. I mean, sure I have the RPM and I understand that Windows 7 is not released...but what the heck. Shouldn't it at least work in compatibility mode with Windows XP? Dammit, what luck. The error message that I receive is: This device is not supported by the Windows Operating System that you are running. Typical Windows error, but that's ok I guess. Seems as though M-Audio is working hard to release the drivers soon. M-AUDIO - Fast Track Ultra & Windows 7 Driver: M-Audio Windows 7 Drivers Status |
