How to Arrange Digital Photo Files
If you love taking too many photos, using your digital camera, on daily basis and have created a huge collection of all those pictures on your computer, then it is really important that you should arrange them in a way that you can access them easily. If you save all your digital photos in the same folder, then you may end up in creating a mess for yourself, as this will make it really difficult for you to extract any particular image when needed.
For instance, if you want to find your birthday party pictures from a folder that contains around 2000 photos from different occasions, then it will take a lot of time for you to locate your desired ones. That is the reason why they should all be arranged in a proper manner.
