Hello Johnnie,

I keep files in directories based upon shooting date and then use
IMatch ([url]www.photools.com[/url]) to categorise them based on location, event,
subject matter, etc (multiple categories for each shot). I keep the
originals in a folder and manipulated images in a directory below that
one.

When my HDD fills up, I then burn 2 copies of the images to CD for
storage purposes. IMatch keeps track of images that have been
relocated to offline media and keeps a thumbnail and categorisation
details in its database.

I've only been using the system for a short time and so I don't know
how robust it is, but it works for me so far.

IMatch costs US$50 which translates to around $80 real dollars.

Regards, Gary

I use Disk Explorer Professional from [url]http://www.antelopestudios.com/[/url] it
builds a complete database with thumbnails.

I simply sort images into folders that are named to describe content and
burn CDs.... I then run D.E.P. over the disk to add it to the database.

When I need to find an image I search using keywords to find the folders and
then view the thumbs to selected the image required.... from there I know
exactly what CD to go to for the full file.

Another one that many seem to like is Archive Creator from
[url]www.pictureflow.com[/url]
