A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I'd like to know how you storage your photos. Do you save all raw photos and how do you keep them in order. And what to do with edited photos.

I have RAWs in folders named year/month/day to keep them in order. Then i take from there to lightroom the ones i want to edit. Edited photos i export as JPG for sharing (usually export one full size and one instagram size if i share something there) and as TIF for printing. JPGs gets exported on my main photography folder, and at times i clean it up and put them in the right folders where RAWs are. Photos that go to instagram, i also send to my phone. Photos for print gets exported into folder thats for stuff that is going to go into printing (also rename the file according to paper used for, as they are soft proofed for specific papers), and once they are printed, i throw them into another folder in the print folder that is for printed stuff. At times i might delete some stuff i already printed, if i know i wont be printing it again on same paper, since print TIF files are pretty large.

My photo folders are also backed to icloud automatically.
