Hi Jim,
I am a recent Digicam addict. I switched from my old Pentax SLR
to a Canon Digital cam 3 month ago! So far I have made about 1400 photos and I use the same kind of naming scheme as Alan :
yyyy/yyyymm/yyyymmdd-img#-topic.jpg
The kind of data I'd like to store along with my pics include :
-Date/time taken
-place/event
-subject (folks on the picture)
-type of pic (portrait, landscape, macro, test, outtakes,....)
-a few exif infos (aperture, shutter speed, ISO number)
Lately I have been testing some image management sharewares.
The one that comes very close to what I want is Imatch 3 (
www.photools.col). In fact this program has some common ground with MJ. The DB management is similar, you can use categories to classify your pictures and they have a very active user's forum !
Of course my reference in media management is MJ so I'm pretty excited by what I already saw in MJ9.
Bon développements !
