What are the best ways to organize photos of any kind?

We live in an age where storing and organizing the photos is more difficult than taking them. It was a thing of a past where people used to worry more about taking pictures than storing them. It was because earlier cameras used to come with a reel in which you can store a limited number of images. This is in stark contrast to the digital camera which comes with a memory card in which we can store numerous images. However, with the advent of digital technology, digital photography has become quite simple. You simply need to click one button, and the moment will be captured. Quite opposite to older cameras, there is no wastage of reels to think about, neither is there any problem in developing these pictures. The problem, however, lies in storing and organizing these images. Some extra measures need to be taken to solve this problem efficiently.

Methods of Organizing:

If you are finding it difficult to organize your photos in a systematic manner, then you can follow these simple tips given below:

Store them according to time and place: Whether it is your digital images stored in your camera or smartphone or the printed photos, a simple classification based on time and place can be really beneficial. You can sort your pictures according to some particular time and some particular place in which they were taken. This can greatly help in sorting the images.

Categorizing Your Photos: You can also sort your photos in some particular groups according to your friends, families, school or college graduation. This would greatly simplify the process of sorting your photos.

Detailing: Add details to your photos. Store them with some simple text on them like XYZ’s birthday, or ABC’s anniversary. This would further help you to sort your photos in an organized manner.

Removing the bad ones: Delete all the photos that are blurry or are otherwise dull or dark. You should only focus on those images that are clear and are of high quality.

Make More Copies: An important part of sorting and organizing your photos is to create exact copies of the folders and subfolders of these images and store them in more than one place.

Brett Middaugh testimonialBrett Middaughsmugmug
I've used picbackman for just about a year and without it I would not have been able to upload my entire photo collection to flickr easily. I highly recommend the product. Although I am not a fan of yearly subscriptions their support team is quick to answer any questions you may have. Definitely a useful product for photographers to upload photos online.
Clever Ricardo Chinaglia testimonialClever Chinagliasmugmug
I had 80,000 photos to upload to flickr, and flickr pro users knows how ridiculous are the speed of the desktop app for a lot of us...With picbackman I´ve got all the 80,000 photos uploaded in about 3 weeks - using my laptop for only a few hours a day! I reccomend!
Achal Gupta testimonialAchal Guptasmugmug
This is a fantastic piece of software! I wanted to backup 100+ gigs worth of original sized photos to Flickr and after trying many many tools, PickBacMan was the one that finally worked. It worked flawlessly for 10 straight days uploading all my photos without a single error/ timeout/ crash. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!
Gavin Whitham testimonialGavin Whitham smugmug
PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Vlad testimonialVladsmugmug
PicBackMan has been operating quietly in the background on my Mac for a year now and in that time has backed up over 30,000 photos to Flickr. It's done exactly what I wanted it to do with no fuss, it's a great piece of software.
T.E.Lahey testimonialT.E.Laheysmugmug
I've been fighting with the Flickr uploader for months. It keeps crashing and there is no support. PicBackMan works great! Very stable and faster and more features than the Yahoo Flicker uploader. Thanks!
