In this course, photographer Derrick Story teaches the concepts
and techniques behind efficient photo management and backup,
which becomes increasingly important as a photo collection grows.
The course begins by showing how to transfer and organize photos
"by hand"--that is, by copying them from a memory card to a hard
drive without using software. In the second portion of the course,
discover how to take advantage of the photo-management features
provided by programs such as Lightroom and Aperture, by assigning
descriptive keywords, by giving photos ratings and color-coded
labels, and how smart album features can automatically collect
photos that meet certain criteria.

The course concludes with a look at aspects of a good backup and
archival strategy, ranging from the best file format for long-term
backup to the best hardware options for offline storage.

Topics include:

* Removing pictures from a card
* Transferring photos to a Windows or Mac computer
* Transferring images with Lightoom, Aperture or iPhoto
* Assigning ratings to photos and flagging favorites
* Filtering photos
* Choosing file formats
