Excellent tips! Professional photo organizers often go through a similar process with their clients. There are a lot of options/systems/apps out there for DIY photo organizing but just getting started with some basic sorting is a huge step towards freedom from digital clutter!

@@LeaDavid Thanks! 😌 Would You kindly do a Video about how one can remember useful Keyboard Shortcuts? You obviously know Your Stuff and You could give good Advice how to do it efficiently.

[@melancholoid]

Hi, I'd like to give you two video suggestions: 1. MS Onenote tutorial (I know you have a tips video, but a beginners tutorial would help me a lot) 2. How to organize PDF files

Thanks for sharing, will consider it for future videos!

Excellent presentation Lea.- Thank you. I have photos on 3 different drives & i don't think I can put them all on my PC.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks, Denis! If you are satisfied with the way your photos are organized at the moment, no need to action. However, if you would like to further streamline them, maybe you can use a drive to collect and organized them all. Best of luck, Lea

I had no idea CCleaner actually did that level of de-duping. Thanks o/ Ironic as it might seem, I wish your Digital Architect guide had a physical copy option.

[@LeaDavid]

Glad you found it helpful! Well, you can always print out The Digital Architect and make yourself a small booklet :)

CCleanup is available for MAC? If not what do you suggest?

Hi Lea 1) What is a good way to add Metadata to pictures? 2) What is a good way to add Image Alt Text to pictures? Both in Windows 10. BTW Thank you for your video :)

[@LeaDavid]

Hi Thomas, good question. Either you use a software that will help you do that or you do it by going to a pictures properties via right click and then adding metadata on the Details tab by clicking on the respective row and adding it. Hope this helps :)

I think your advice is a bit dated. 1) Since most people now days use laptops with limited space it is not practical to gather all photos (and videos) in the internal drive. Space will lbe a limiting factor. 2) For larger collections of media I strongly recommend using an app like Lightroom. With most of these apps you can easily find photos based on date regardless of where and how they are physically stored. 3) In apps like Lightroom you can create collections or virtual folder for easy access to images with a common theme. The same photo can be maid available in multiple collections without actually create physical copies. The most important part of some organisation of media on drives (internally or externally) is to simplify the important task of making backups.

Thanks for sharing, but I do not think so. 1. Sure, feel free to use an external drive or a cloud storage. 2. Not everyone has access to such a software or would like to use one. But sure, if you can and would like to do so, it's a great option. 3. see 2. :)
