[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 609558, member: 3850"] I use photo management software for two reasons: 1. Sorting and finding images is much easier: - I can view photos by date, by tags, by categories or by albums. - I can make separate "collections" or groups without duplicating files - Moving, emailing, batch re-naming or exporting and publishing can be done from within one app. 2. Nondestructive editing: - If I don't like a part of a picture, I can crop it out and always know I can retrieve the original later. I don't have to make sure to create a backup copy, and I don't have multiple versions of one image when browsing albums It's such a pain for me to have to manually manage everything in folders: Does this picture from christmas go in the "events" or in the "family" folder? Do I organize by month or event? etc. etc. It's the same argument as iTunes vs. manually ripping, tagging and sorting music into folders. Why put up with the hassle? [/QUOTE]
