As you would expect, a photo of a poppy seed, for instance, needs all the definition a camera can muster for the big screen. Many of my photos are not only for my own documentation, but I need good detail as many are also destined for use in presentations viewed on large screens or walls. So I have a lot of similar shots, and only the best ones make the grade.

And rather than spending time editing photos to try to make them 'perfect', I will often prefer to take multiple photos of the same at different settings for different effects, focus clarity (lots of macro shots), etc. I take a lot of close-up and macro, and as you might know in such situations, the tiniest things that are insignificant in normal photos become major: the sun goes behind a cloud and it ruins the shot (or vice versa), you didn't notice until your 3rd try that a twig in the view is distracting, an unwanted ant crawls into view, an inch to the left is a completely different photo, etc. Warning: Not for the sleepy-eyed or casually interested.

It seems to me that if you add metadata to files (especially photos and PDF files), you can search and display using a computers search function or a specific application (think photo management app). In other words, I do not have to rely on searching for document names when I need to find something. On a side note, when I scan a document in my computer, I use the PDF/A format that allows complete searches of the document. If you add metadata to all your photos when you import them to your computer, the computer's search function will be able to find them (no matter what 'folder' you put them in). The new operating systems have very sophisticated search functions built in these days, which means that you can usually find what you are looking for. I do have a separate folder for each year. When I take photos, I import them all into one folder and apply metadata to each photo as I import. I might have only one photo of the plant or I might have twenty and they might span several years. That's why we have Google Search for the web.įor example, if I want to display all the photos I have taken of a given plant, folders do not offer a good solution. Maybe soon I could get rid of believe the 'folder' system alone is too limited to be very useful for large data sets. Also Apple keeps upgrading their photo processing software, and I don't use Lightroom anywhere near as much as before. This one is way better, still has really annoying automatic settings, like it keeps randomly creating 'Albums' for me Oh god do I need an album of photos of a label I took to the store? At least Apple has the Apple store, and I can get real help there, so I am using this program a lot. I would end up sometimes with 10 copies of one bad photo, each with a different name! It was horrible and I could not find anyone who could help stop it. Of course they were there because I was getting rid of them, The program would then give each one a new name, and plug it back into the album. The photo modifying options were worse, and the program itself started with this hideous bug where it would reach into my trash can to find photos. I had Windows, and it seemed OK, but the last 'upgrade' a year or two ago really screwed things up.

Well, I am struggling with the internal photo programs too.
