Name what you want to find
Use filenames that describe the subject and purpose. A few useful words are easier to recognize than a camera-generated number.
THE IMAGE NOTEBOOK
Building a useful image reference library
A few practical habits make images easier to prepare, find and share.
Keep a source note
Record where an image came from, who created it and the permission that allows you to use it. A reference collection is more useful when its context stays attached.
Review your collection
Remove duplicate references and keep the images that still serve a purpose. Keep an original copy outside any hosting service.
A place for what catches your eye.
Your next collection starts with a single picture.
