My wife is getting serious about trying to organize all our photos. I have most of them scanned and the past several years have all been digital. So on the plus side, we can work in one medium for the moment. She would like to organize images by child, by event, by date, etc. Then be able to acc

Hi Bruce. The common term for what you want to do is image management. If you google "image management software" you'll find a mind-boggling assortment of products at all price levels. There are many that will do the sorts of things you want. I think the best way to select one is to look at rev

I think LightRoom can do most if not all that you indicated, Bruce. However the hmmm process of giving program necessary data to perform organization has to be done by human and that's a huge task. Boris Bruce Dayton wrote: > My wife is getting serious about trying to organize all our photos.

That is always the problem with databases. BTW, Adobe bridge can attach all kinds of info and catagories to your photos, but it does still have the problem that you have to enter the info and select the catagories. Boris Liberman wrote: > I think LightRoom can do most if not all that you indicat

I'll second IMatch - it's cheap and quite powerfull when it comes to image organization. IMatch uses category concept where any photo can belong to any number of categories, and categories can be nested many, many levels deep into a tree-like structure. It can be a bit intimidating at the begin

Hi Bruce, If you have every film image scanned then you can use almost any of the image organising programs out there. The Melbourne Museum use IMatch, which I think can be connected to an external database. My problem is that I have several thousand slides that I want to keep track of and on

Leaving specific software solution aside and talking about image organization I would like to recommend an "inverted-tree" structure for people categories - it is especially neat for categorizing family photos and I know it can be done in IMatch and probably in other software packages, too. Of
