Photo Organizing Tip 4: Learn Your Program

Often it seems like technology promises simplicity and ease, but leaves you frustrated and confused.

It doesn't have to be that way. Over the past few years Photoshop Elements has allowed me to simplify my photo workflow and today, I'd love to help you simplify yours.

Learning to use Photoshop Elements makes life easier.

1. Photos download automatically to folders & photo management program.
2. Places, faces, events, things and dates are automatically tagged.
3. Backups run regularly without hassle.

All that happens without me having to do anything more than turn on my computer.

Every week or two I spend 15 minutes on:

1. Adding any additional information I want to add (like stories behind the photos, keywords for favorite toys or what we were doing in the photo)
2. Star rating my favourite photos

What does your photo flow look like? Do you need help refining it? Leave me a comment and we can see what we can do!
