Thanks for your encouraging words, Paul, re: Photoshop. I got mine for Christmas (sadly, still haven't found time to install it!) and Geoff's book is on its way---looking forward to upgrading my photo organization. Thanks again. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

The main thrust of this thread was around file structures for ease of finding various files from the masses of files we tend to accumulate. Tagging is another way of accomplishing the same thing. Photoshop allows tagging, including batch tagging, of photos. It also has great facial recognition and facial tagging, which does a pretty good job (yes, there is some manual work required) of tagging the people in photos. Then, one can find photos by any combination of keyword tags, and/or 'people tags'. In my view, it's an excellent organizer. Before rejecting it, I urge anyone considering Photoshop to download the free trial and see for yourself. Also, be patient, it is fairly complex to learn, the trick is to use just those small parts that you need for organization at the beginning and gradually get into more complex functions. I hope I'm not going to be ruled off topic, as Photoshop has been discussed in Webinars and Geoff's digital imaging book (I think), but it isn't really a Legacy add on. So, this thread may be stopped soon.
