I have a different folder for each camera body thus: 1D CAMERA ORIGINAL R-D1 CAMERA ORIGINAL PENTAX CAMERA ORIGINAL etc Each incoming pic gets renamed thus: _X9M0001.CR2 becomes C08-0001.CR2 where C08 is the Canon camera, year 2008, then file number (CR2 is a Canon RAW file) It would go in a folder (if shot today) called C080123 where C is Canon 08 is the year 01 the month and 23 the day If a pic gets processed, it then gets saved as a Photoshop file and put into a separate folder for each camera EG 1D FIN which means 1D finished pics each camera has a different letter at the front C = Canon P = Pentax R = Epson (rangefinder) So a shot taken today on the Epson might be R08-2345.ERF in folder R080123 HTH -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
