any good naming scheme or organization tips for a retard like me?
>>4303938Pictures/DigitalLandscapes/../MM-YYYY(^for every category)Other/ (the dump)Cameramodel_raws/Cameramodel2/RawsPictures/Film scans/(duplicate categories)Images are not exported until they're done. If I might have an idea later or might print it later I save the raw in the appropriate folder (makes it easier to find "i shot this on that right?"). Camera models are implied in filenames to make things easier to find (oh right, I took the olympus to niagra, but was it april or may? so to find where i put the niagra photos in Landscapes/ I'll just search EM5*)ezpz
>>4303938I just let Lightroom sort them for me and then add tags

>>4303953Put your trip back on, cANON. So that's what you use the joy of reflex for, to take closeup pics of leaves.

>>4303984>implying I can trust your scarlet harengus exifFor all I know a 5D variant produced that picture

>>4303989cANON pls, it's not the first picture of that type you have postedjust admit you got caught and we can forget this ever happened
>>4303938I put every single photo I’ve ever shot into one folder
>>4304004Uh, that’s you. cANON is the one with hairy negatives. Get it right.
>>4303953Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (that mediocrity can pay to greatness).>>4303982Rent free>>4304046No I'm not, I'm the guy with the b&w boatpix.
>>4304051>ImitationNow for the revealI took that photo to send to my mom
this is how i do it, i only use windows explorer folders, no tags or rating>bulk photos folder ->[date, location, main subjects) (delete all awful photos)>good photos folder->[date, location, main subjects) (copy all good photos here)>raw photos folder->[date, location, main subjects) (move all good RAWs here)>instagram worthy photos->[date, location] (move best photos into separate set folders)--> [subject 1] (crop and export to IG quality)---> post ready--> [subject 2]---> post ready>best photos (only copy very best photos here)->shill photos (watermarked and lower quality version for self promo) i don't edit my photos unless they are a salvagble exposure fuck up i also fucking hate how lightroom sorts imports so this is my methodhow bad is it bros?
>>4303938I just do Year > Event Name, and then also have Q1-Q4 for misc snapshots.I only browse / view the folders through C1, and just use C1 filtering as needed for searching by date or camera or lens. Switching from individual sessions from a few larger catalogs has been great. All exports go to the Output folder of the relevant session.
>>4303938[YYYY-MM-DD (event/occasion label)]-[raws]-[jpg] (though lately I've just been skipping this and only shooting raw)-[edited]--[full size]--[resize] (for shitstagram or showing my friends on discord or whatever)Rinse and repeat. It just werks.
