[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1570380, member: 45350"] I probably should keep my mouth shut because, though I always intend to do what I am going to advise, I never end up actually doing it. Regardless, here goes: 1) Once you have done triage and decided you aren't going to work further with files, convert to JPEG of a suitable size and ditch the RAW files. This alone will save a ton of space 2) Be willing to delete pics that aren't unique, memorable or of acceptable quality (my biggest offense, as I have trouble throwing shots away) 3) Invest in cheap external HDs and archive your RAW files that you might someday (though someday rarely comes) work with, and save your internal drive for files you are actively working with, or haven't passed through your workflow yet All done . . . now if I would just take my own Advice. ;) :P [/QUOTE]
