[QUOTE="joema, post: 1649704, member: 312925"] Although it's natural to think of photo organization in terms of files and folders, that is very restrictive. E.g, you can only classify them by one category -- say kids. Maybe you sometimes want to search by person, or location, or event (vacation, birthday, holiday, graduation) or search by some combination of these. The best way is decide on a photo organizing program which allows keyword tagging and stick with this. You have to make the time investment regardless of whether you're moving photos to folders or keyword tagging them. The advantage with keyword tagging is they're subsequently searchable many different ways. As you accumulate more photos this becomes a bigger deal, and pays bigger dividends. iMovie (which you already have) Adobe LightRoom: [url=http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html]Photo editor app | Download free Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 trial[/url] Picasa: [url=http://picasa.google.com/]Picasa[/url] The upcoming OSX Photos app: [url]https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/[/url] [/QUOTE]
