Tips and Tricks for Image Archiving
Organise your Image Archiving by date or occasion
Organising your images into sub-categories, such as month, year or occasion is the most effective way to manage your image archives. Organising your images by date not only allows for simplicity when locating memories, but it also allows you to look through memories in a periodic manner. A perfect way to spark nostalgia!
Use a naming system when storing photos digitally
A naming system is commonly incorporated amongst professional photographers who have a high volume of images. It allows images to be easily accessed through a simple search. You might create a set of formulas used for each photo, such as ‘month_year_location’ which builds an easily recognisable search description for your images. This is a simple yet effective method for users who need to find their images regularly as it only requires a quick search.
Use the same method consistently when organising your photos
Despite how structured your image archiving system is, it won't be successful without consistency. The use of various methods will often leave users feeling confused and in turn cause more harm when trying to locate your photos.
