Now, if I don’t want to back up all my photos, but just the work in progress and the albums, I can simply back up everything in the fourth level, with scripts or other tools – just by matching */*/*/select ++ */*/ALBUMS/*. Notice that ALBUMS are simply other folders, but that no originals are stored at the ALBUMS level, but all album pictures (probably JPEGs) are stored in the fourth level. Sticking to the levels of the hierarchy gives you the most benefits. Final images from other tools such as StarStax and HDRtist are also dumped here. Exports from editors or other tools should end up here as well. Since the originals are one level up, I may just crop and edit and save them in place, or use file naming for versioning. 2016/03/*/select - the fourth level, one level down from the source image folder, are where the promising or select images are copied to and worked on.2016/Q3/09_Random - the third level are where the original JPEGs, RAWs, videos, or whathaveyou are stored.

First two are obvious - the year (2016) and the quarter (2016/Q3).

So 2016 is the first folder below /Volumes/Photos1HD/Photos or something like that. Note that I store everything in direct-attached hard drives for easy backup and speed.

Want to version your edits? Just use git! Nobody is going to come out with a better version control system.

I just downloaded HDRtist, and drag and dropped the photos I wanted to work on from Lyn directly.

No need to wait to integrate cool tools into Lightroom or whatever program.

For example, as you’ll see below, with the right hierarchy I could very easily upload only the selected files or files being edited, saving lots of time and $$$. I want to be able to script my backups to whatever cloud service.

Easy to integrate with command line and automation tools.

No need to be stuck on one vendor’s tools (cough cough Adobe)įile system discovery leads to various cool benefits:

Photos are stored for maximum cross-tool compatibility.

Even things like albums are easily discoverable on disk.

And not just originals, but versions being worked on too.

Easy to see where your photos are given any time range and the Finder, the command line, or any tool that can browse your file system.

What I mean is to have a well thought out file folder hierarchy that takes full advantage of the file system: What do I mean by this? After all your photos always ends up somewhere on disk right? Actually many people simply import their photos, sometimes straight from SD card or even camera, straight into Photos or Lightroom or some other program and have no idea where it ends up. A FileSystem-Based Approach to Photo Management TL/DR my final filesystem-based solution consists of Lyn + Luminar.

Ability to read existing Aperture and iPhoto libraries would be awesome.

Ideally with clone/stamp or ability to apply to multiple photos

Simple editing abilities, like adjust color/highlights/shadows etc.

Ability to tag multiple photos, remove them.

This really simplifies things and makes it easier to port changes across tools, or to work with files and directories directly.

Ideally, ability to work directly with file folders and structures.

I’m a software developer and use Mac only.

Thus I’m looking for a simple workflow, ideally one where I don’t have to be tied to a single vendor that I need to continuously fork over a subscription for.

Now that I have a Fuji, with excellent out-of-camera JPEGs and built-in simulations of my favorite Fuji films like Velvia, plus HDR software, I feel the need to shoot RAWs has decreased even more. As someone with three young kids, I just don’t have the time for elaborate RAW processing. It was the perfect time to take a step back to re-examine my workflow and see if I could simplify it.Įven when I was shooting Canon, I was not really a RAW Shooter. I love it - by the way - but that’s the subject of another post. This year, I picked up a Fuji X-series mirrorless, and renewed my devotion to photography. In 2014, Aperture development stopped, but I haven’t had time to research alternatives. For many years I was happily shooting Canon DSLRs and using Apple Aperture to organize and develop photos. Many of you know that I’m into photography as a side hobby.
