[Leica] Software

[lug at steveunsworth.co.uk (Steve Unsworth)]

I use iView Media Pro to catalogue my images. Every time that I look at the
25,000 images there I think I ought to update the keywords. Then I think
that I have 25,000 to do and have a beer instead ;-)

If you're going to use cataloguing software and want to be able to search
easily keep those keywords updated from day 1!.

Lew,

When I first started learning photography back in 1985, I was anal 
retentive about keeping records, so I noted all my exposures etc. I have 
since come to the conclusion that this information was never actually 
used, and since then I have simply used an Excel spreadsheet to record 
my film information. Each roll has a number like 2005_31, and I have 
also recorded which images on each roll I have scanned and what the 
subject matter of the roll is. This only to enable me to locate a given 
image quickly. Now that I shoot digitally, I don't bother with that--of 
course, the exposure data and the date and time of the image is recorded 
by the camera.

At some point I will have to start to use keywording software (or just 
the functionality built in to the software I already use, like ACDSee), 
but for now I prefer to spend my time on the actual photography :-)
