I want wondering....the beauty of having a digital camera is great... you can take tons and tons of photos....and download em onto your machine...ok great... lots of photos
now.....
what is a good way to organize all the photos? Is there software out there?
Or do you have any other ideas?

Your computer's OS has this really handy system with files and folders!

iphoto if youre on a mac - though I tend to just do it manually.
you can do batch thumbnail actions in PS which can be handy.

i use extensis portfolio at work for jobs with tons of assets. it works well for large volumes of images (or any media). it's searchable and you can add keywords, export html galleries, etc.

Any software you use is only going to be as good as your ability to name, add descriptions, etc. Which is always a big pain in the butt.
I just use foldernames for whatever adventure the photos were taken on, inside that I have two folders - keep and trash - where I file the good and the bad.
I started to use Extensis Portfolio but it was such a long process.
ps. If you can change the default file name on your digital camera, it may be worth doing to make it less trivial.

ACDSee

if you are on Mac: iView Media Pro, easily the best.
http://www.iview-multimedia.comNicer than ACDSee or Portfolio.
We process about 10,000 photos per year for http://www.cardesignnews.com
and couldn't do it without iView... (Is this sounding like an ad?)We do use Portfolio for our Photo CD's, but only because there isn't an iView browser for Windows yet (it's coming apparently, then we can ditch Portfolio).

forgot the best example...
iView's HTML gallery generator is very customizable, we use to build these (rather large) galleries: http://www.cardesignnews.com/aut…
