Cross posting from the software thread. Just skimmed through the thread and saw some great stuff...I would read the entire thread to make sure this hasn't been asked, but I know I'll spend way too much time looking at all the cool shots. Also, I work in the media relations department for a college athletics program and in charge of credentialing all you photogs. I can probably offer some advice from my end if anyone has any questions on that process, or what we look for when we contract phtogos for events. And if anyone lives in Birmingham, Tulsa or New Orleans and would like to discuss working a contracted event, we may be looking for someone to shoot for us in the near future. Or if anyone is in Houston and would like to gain access to our events for practice, let me know as well. I had a question about sorting photos after I get the photo DVD from our photographer: Action Saxxon posted:Sorry, should've been a little more specific and maybe provide a little background info. I work at a college athletic program and in charge of sorting various sports photos - we use them in a variety of ways web, print, media requests, etc. So each subject having their own folder makes it easy for me to complete certain requests. Have I been going about this completely rear end backwards? If I make the switch to Lightroom, I don't think it'd be that terribly bad to go back and start tagging everyone.

BobTheCow posted:Oh jeez, that's a pretty huge catalog already, yikes! I mean it's really personal preference, it comes down to whatever works for you and your staff. Would it be possible to start sorting/tagging new photos from now on that way, but still keep the old system in place for the moment with existing photos? Maybe that way after a couple of weeks of intake and usage you'll have a better idea of which system works better for your situation. And that's only a fraction of all of our photos! I'm not too concerned with going back over the discs from late 1990s-2008 as everyone has graduated and we have an adequate supply of those student-athletes on our harddrives, really just concerned with getting the best system in place now and moving forward...And then there are thousands more old photos from the 1950s to 1990s in our 50-foot archive room that will someday be scanned in along with thousands upon thousands of other paper documents.
