Wetpixel Live: How To Find Your Files

Underwater photographers spend a great deal of time and expense seeking perfection in their images. This includes expensive camera systems, exotic travel, and significant time expanding and developing their skills. Ultimately though, our ability to find the image files we have created is critical in order for us to justify this expenditure and enjoy the activity. @Alex_Mustard and @adamhanlon offer some ideas about how a workflow can help to ensure that your images are easy to find.   

Great ideas about setting up a consistent system. One thing I missed to 'find your good pictures'. It's a very obvious system (sorry), but I like to use it: the one to five stars to specify which images you like best. Using it forces you to evaluate the quality of your pictures and learn from that. And ranking of the stars is not definitive, its quite rewarding to look through your images again after some time and see if your older preferences still hold. And it comes with a bonus, on a rainy day you can run a presentation of your high ranked images.

Totally agree!
