There are currently more than 200 GB of photos in my hard drive. The number continues to grow because of my conversion to RAW. Until now, there has not been a final solution to organizing these photos. After reading few articles here and there, I have decided to finalize my own steps to organizing my photo, as well as video files.
From Camera to Computer
Create New Folder on Desktop, using Date as convention.
2009-04-22_IMG (or 2009-04-22_VID)
Create New Sub Folder called "RAW" within the newly created folder.
Copy files from device into "RAW"
Rename all RAW files to be in sync with the folder name
From RAW to JPEG
Open ALL images in "RAW" using Adobe Bridge CS3 and Photoshop CS3, then make any necessary color adjustment.
If possible, apply tags
Save ALL images as JPEG format into the same directory.
Go to the Folder Structure and create a new folder called "JPEG" and move all the newly created JPEG files into that folder.
Make any further color adjustments/cropping/border to files in this "JPEG" directory.
Once finished, make a duplicate of "JPEG" and rename it "WEB"
In Photoshop CS3, use Batch to resize (and/or add border) to all files in "WEB"
Final Folder = 2009-04-22_IMG_Description = "RAW", "JPEG", "WEB", and "PHOTOSHOP"
