Is your photo archive well organized, or do you have a hard time finding a specific photo? Can you quickly an easily find all of your elk photos from Colorado, or your cousin Harry’s birthday photos?

If your photo archive needs help, I have two suggestions.

1. Read this article at the Photoshelter Blog. It will get you started with lots of good ideas and you don’t need a Photoshelter account to benefit from their ideas.There will references to Photoshelter in the article but you can tune them out if you so choose.

2. Get Adobe Lightroom to keep track of your photos. It has become the software of choice for amateurs and professionals to keep track of a growing photo archive.

Options for Buying Lightroom:

Adobe Lightroom 6 is currently $142.99 and comes with a disc for both PC and Mac.

A subscription which includes both Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC is $9.99 per month. I don’t know how long this deal will last or when it will jump back to $19.99 per month.
