Tagging my photos with Lightroom

Tagging my photos with Lightroom

3/30/09: My photo-uploading is going to slow down even more because I am immersed in
getting all my digital images imported into and tagged by Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
Once all images are tagged I'll be able to manage them much easier (and save disk space!).

Because I have so many images (62,000+) I have a terrible time keeping track of what they are---and I waste
a lot of disk space by copying many of them. Lightroom will solve those problems for me: it's image-tagging
and image-management capabilities are impressive. Now comes the tough part: adding tags to all those images.

Tagging status: in two days I tagged 2400 images.

Found an aplication that removes duplicate images based on image data. http://www.keronsoft.com/dupdetector.html. I used it an found a couple thousand duplicates.

Steve, your report is "very disturbing" (not merely "disturbing"), but I take solace in knowing that from this point, things can only get better. Onward and upward!

Dave, you overlooked the fine print, "Excessive use of this product has been associated with an increase in mental disturbances, with an as yet unexplained spike in the Renton, Washington area." Regarding the main bug, I always suspected that Kafka's "Metamorphasis" was based on an actual incident, to be repeated at some unknown time in the future.

The baby belongs to a former neighbor. Please don't mention that idiot "octomom." The bug belongs to Mother Nature; it did not glow. The computer's main bug sits at the keyboard; efforts to remove it have been unsuccessful. An undocumented feature of tagging zillions of images with Lightroom is its ability to drive a person crazy.

Five babies--are you competing with the octomom? One of the bugs is glowing--lightning bug!

Dave, I think your computer's picked up a few bugs. Not to mention a baby.

Thanks, Larry. I'll be a bit grayer when I re-surface.

Good luck, Dave. See ya in a couple light years.
