<p>Chances are, you have too many digital photos on your computer, and the thought of managing, or even organizing them, seems daunting to impossible. At TechnologyGuide, we say "nonsense!" There are plenty of easy tips and tricks for managing, organizing, and even touching up your massive digital pic collection, which the experts here are willing to share.Importing</p><p>Obviously, it is a good idea to take a few steps to organize your photos when you first import the digital files from your camera or smartphone onto your computer. During the initial import, take some time to ensure photos have tags, consistent naming conventions, and even ratings. Going a step further and taking a couple minutes to delete the junk will save on disk space. Yes, this can all be a minor hassle, but it will undoubtedly save headaches down the road when you are searching for specific pics.</p><p>When naming files, try to keep naming conventions consistent and stick to naming folders and images in a way that will make sense years from now. For instance, if you import photos from a birthday party, include the date and event in the file names. It might make sense at the time of import to label an album "Brian's 15th Birthday", but years later the year and date will probably make more sense. Save the specifics for tags, for example, Brian, Birthday, 2013, and September will make far better search terms than filenames.</p><p>Tags come in handy when categorizing photos by specific holidays, vacation spots, people, events, seasons, months, and years. When naming folders or files with dates, starting with the year first can help keep files organized when sorting. For instance, try using "2013-9-30 instead of "9-30-2013. Later when you want to make a photo board to display at Brian's high school graduation party, you can quickly search through each year to find a photo of him from every birthday.</p><p><a href="http://www.technologyguide.com/howto/how-to-manage-and-organize-your-digital-photos/">Keep reading...</a></p>
