Hello,<br>
<br>
I use the light-table to select the best shots from a particular
series of pictures and delete the others. Afterwards, I tag all
photos and rate the best shots. To the really best photos I apply
some improving editing operations.<br>
<br>
With my old camera, I shot jpeg pictures only. With my new camera I
shot in jpeg+raw mode and I learned a lot about processing raw with
digikam. In some situations I got more satisfactory results from
manual raw processing. But this should be not the point writing
about here. Instead I would like to ask all of you shooting also
jpeg+raw, how do you manage the two file types in digikam.<br>
<br>
Do you store jpeg and raw files in the same album or do you have
sub-albums for the raw files, for example?<br>
I have all files (of a particular "project" or holiday) in one album
and use a filter to switch between jpeg and raw files.<br>
<br>
Do you tag jpeg as well as raw files? Or do you tag only the jpeg
files? But when you derive a new jpeg from a raw file, you have to
copy the tags from the original jpeg (which the camera processed) to
the new jpeg. (By the way: provides digikam a function to copy all
tags from one image to another?) Up to now, I don't have a good
strategy, how to handle this aspect.<br>
<br>
It would be nice to hear some thoughts and strategies how you handle
jpeg+raw files.<br>
<br>
Bests,<br>

<br>
-I work mainly with private photos, e.g. from family events and
so on. I handle photos from several cameras and from smart
phones together. I put a timestamp (from metadata) in the
filename so they are displayed in chronological order, even when
viewed in a file browser. <br>
-Since I no longer have time for post processing, I use only
JPEG - even for photos from my DSLR cameras.<br>
-I want the information to travel with the picture, i.e. I
store all as metadata in the files.<br>
-I use rating to make a selection of pictures from each event,
rather than saying "rating 5 is a really good picture".<br>
<br>
<br>
1. Transfer photos from cameras, together with rename and
setting rating to 2, with a bash script to
~/photos/edit/YYYY/YYMMDD_EVENT, naming:
YYYYMMDD-HHMM_CAMERAID_ORGFILENAME<br>
2. Manual backup of ~/photos/edit/ to external disc using rsync<br>
3. Sort pictures using the rating and rating filter - viewing 2
stars and above:<br>
a) Bad pictures gets rating 1 (I delete them all later on)<br>
b) Good pictures, but not duplicates, gets rating 3<br>
c) Change filter to 3 stars and above. If there are too many
of rating 3, fine tune by set the best ones to rating 4.
Continue to rating 5 if needed.<br>
4. Tag the finest selection with tag Selection-1, the next
finest with Selection-2 and so on. This way the finest selection
from an event is always tagged Selection-1, no matter if the
finest rating has reached 3, 4 or 5 stars.<br>
5. Occasionally, do some manual editing like crop <br>
6. Apply additional tags<br>
7. Move from edit directory to ~photos/album/YYYY/, which has
automated backup with rsnapshot<br>
<br>
I put a small JPEG-file in each directory (with the initial
script) and use it to keep track of my workflow progress for
that directory and for information/notes that goes for the whole
directory. This is my way to store metadata for a folder. <br>
<br>

same as you.<br>
<br>
but the problem is probably most a question of number.<br>
<br>
I have to shoot many images and can't afford to post edit
them (apart basics like resize).<br>
<br>
I know people that shoot only a handfull of images and spend
many time refining them, of course in raw. It was the same
with roll film...<br>
<br>
no problem, simply not my use<span class="HOEnZb"><font
