The first thing you should do when starting to organize your pictures, start by using a carefully chosen folder structure. In other words, start organizing just by using folders on your computer. I like FastStone ImageViewer for this purpose…it’s a very fast image viewer.

Later if you need more refinement and searching capabilities you need to start tagging your pictures. For this purpose you need some software you have to pay for…like ACDSee Pro (which is cheaper) or Adobe Lightroom (which is the best but expensive).

As to your other question regarding adding price tags to your pictures…you can add price information in the image file name. Something like 2009_07_26-0089-4-50.jpg. Or you can add price to a folder in the folder name.

If you can use tags, then you can just easily create tags with price information and attach the price tags to your images.

Hope this helps.

although i had some programs installed on my PC for trial use because i wanted to start to organize my growing picture gallery, i was really frustrated to start trying them and to play with them to find out the best solution. So i started searching about organizing photos, and came directly across your great Resource on web. Thanks so much.

I have just one issue with one of my galleries, i should add price tags to my images, how can this be done ? do you know a good way ? any custom fields ?
i used Microsoft Word to produce tables and insert images with data because Excel is not able to insert images on cells.

Please let me know if you know any good ways.
Looking forward.
