Doors Open at 6:30 pm

Presented by: Peter Charles

Organizing our images is one of those busy work things that has to be done but doesn’t produce those good vibes that we get when making those images. However, fail to organize, then it doesn’t take much time before we experience the irritation of facing image storage chaos and that we can’t find anything. It’s very frustrating when we can’t find our images afterward, plus it can be expensive when we constantly are buying more storage capacity for our computers, that in reality we don’t need. In this presentation we’ll be looking at good organizational methods, including the idea of reducing the clutter before we even press the shutter release.

We’re going to look at four aspects of keeping our images organized: shooting deliberately, culling viciously, software solutions and hardware requirements. We’ll look at RAW vs. JPEG file sizes and ask the hard questions about RAW. We’ll look at ways to avoid cluttering up our hard drives with large RAW images that we’ll never use, for part of image management is to know when to shoot RAW and when not to, when to save those big RAW files and when to delete them. 

Pros, out of necessity, know how to do this as the financial consequences for failing to be organized can put them out of business. As enthusiasts we don’t have that hanging over our heads, but we can make our photographic lives more enjoyable if we don’t give in to image collection chaos.
