I think standard photo metadata does contain tags. I started using tags in Windows Photo Gallery (Vista) to tag people in photos (just using names as tags) and found that when I uploaded them to Flickr the tags went with them (and then I had to remove everyone's names from my Flickr tags!). But my point is, there's some kind of tagging/keywords in the metadata.<br />I use a free program called XN VIew but I can't think of anything that would be better in it than in Picasa. My boyfriend who's a bit more serious about his photography bought Adobe Lightroom and thinks it's great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592106190619166786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-23556652920705345022015-02-09T22:55:03.483+11:002015-02-09T22:55:03.483+11:00I'm a mac user and I've been using iPhoto ...I'm a mac user and I've been using iPhoto to organize my pictures for about 5 years.

I'd rather have much of that information in the folder name, rather than multiple sub-folders, but the order of your subfolders is something I was thinking about.

The biggest time suck is the facial recognition software that semi-automatically sorts as you add photos.

I have a sewing photos folder and inside it contains folders for each type of garment: skirts, tops, jackets, coats, pants, jeans, etc. Inside each of those folders are pattern companies from which the garment was made; divided by pattern number. If I made the same pattern twice, then there is another folder titled according to the fabric or color. <br /><br />Here's an example: "Skirts/New Look/6274/black & white zebra." This is all on my hard drive. My online photos are sorted according to pattern company and that's it. I don't upload every photo I take, so I'm less organized with those folders.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384050927297629715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-29560468900245635622015-02-07T23:48:03.870+11:002015-02-07T23:48:03.870+11:00I've been having the same sorting issue, which...I've been having the same sorting issue, which I've begun trying to fix. I use iPhoto, and took all sewing/blog photos and moved them to a separate "library." Now all regular/family photos are separate at least. I haven't sorted blog photos further, other than by date, but I wonder if they can be tagged with keywords? lisa g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09891757600316953288noreply@blogger.com
