Organising your Mac photos

[Sahara]

This is a kind of silly question but I'm sure I'm not the only one with hundreds of Mac photos in a giant mess on her hard-drive!

I've tried numerous times to put manners on them all and organise them by band member, by era, by whether they're from live concerts or studio sessions, but I end up with a mass of folders with overlapping files and dozens of photos that don't fit the system (not to mention ones I can't date), and I need to go and have a bit of a lie-down.

So, how do you keep your collection under control? I'd particularly love to hear suggestions from SortaSavageLike, Sanne2 and holidayroad, whose collections are enormous and always a joy Any advice would be very much appreciated!


Mods: I put this thread in the Stevie forum because lots of photos are shared here. If it belongs in Chit Chat, please go ahead and move it there
