Hi, Jim and thanks for this thread - it's got great ideas and is very well-written.

The date and topic designation for files archiving is excellent, but my question for you and/or others regards what ideas or software exist for tagging individual images (such as with keywords) to expedite pulling up specific themes later - e.g. bringing up all 'tree' shots from many different dates and places. I know keywording many many images would be a lot of work, but it could be done selectively for certain categories and would really be useful for certain applications.

Thanks, Peter
