The bane of my digital photography has been how to organize my files. You start off with RAW files, and obviously you want to keep those. Then you do your adjustments and maybe editing so you need to save a PSD ( I use photoshop). Finally, to have it printed you need to send a cropped JPG. I like to have mine printed with a signature in the corner, so I cant have 1 JPG that I crop depending on the size I want at the time of printing, because to save an 8x10 JPG, if I ever needed to print it later as 11x14 or 5x7, the re-crop would make the copyright signature too small or too big. Which means I need to save JPGs for each common size. Thats 6 different files for each photo. Storage space isnt really an issue for me, its just that so many different copies of the same photo seems terribly cluttered, yet saving photos in different crops and having some in 8x10 and others in 5x7 seems like an incomplete collection, shame for my photo collection that is my pride and joy. If this made any sense, does anyone have any suggestions? What different organization structures do you all use? Thank You
