Collection Management

Digital Image Collection Management: Organizing the digital chaos

You take dozens – maybe hundreds – of photos each day.

How do you organize and categorize those digital memories so you can find any one of them in a matter of seconds? How do you ensure they don’t fall into a digital abyss never to be seen – or found – again? How do you safeguard your digital image collection against technology failure? How can you streamline your post production to share your treasured photographs faster and in better quality than ever before – on the internet or with physical prints?

Adobe Lightroom is the defacto standard for digital image collection management. It can be somewhat imposing at first with its fairly steep learning curve. But it’s critical that you start off right, as it will be the foundation for managing your image collection for years to come.

I have helped numerous photographers establish that critical process foundation for effective collection management with Adobe Lightroom – or fix a broken foundation – in person as well as remotely. Look at the Articles page for tutorials on Lightroom organizational and backup strategy, and fixing a broken organizational strategy.
