Sorry, somehow I completely missed it - my internet has been broken and I blame it on dodgy combinations of tethering and linux wireless :-D

@WillMelling congratulations, do you have a new theme?

I'd still recommend darktable - it's free and has loads of modules, but that doesn't mean you have to use them all. I started with just cropping occasionally, then with playing with contrast/brightness/saturation, and now I'm messing around with white balance. I'm no pro either, just a happy amateur.

Alternatively, just do a little search online, there are quite a number of other options, quite a few with GUIs and many are pretty basic while still being functional (and cross platform).

I don't. My thinking is that a large collection will probably take a while to transfer, so think about how often you might need to do that. Of course, single images will be (much) quicker. Otherwise, there's also things like flickr etc, but I don't have any experience with any of that.

moocher - takeaway on the way home ()
https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16698564

i store on a hard drive that I can carry around with me, plus back-up to a storage computer at home.

For sorting, I rename (using exiftool for linux - but there's almost certainly similar for other operating systems) to YYYMMDD_HHMMSS_origfilename like so: exiftool -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S%%f.%%e "-filename<CreateDate" .

This gives me, for example, 20220925_010435ASM_4002.NEF

It helps me as I know exactly when I took the photo, plus I have the original reference from the camera (in case I edited first/called it something else previously). I then do my editing (using darktable, which is free but highly functional) and often when I export I renamed slightly so it's got the 'title' preceding the filename. For instance, my file in this week's photo challenge was called stopandbuyme_20220925_001628ASM_3987_02.png - title, then the filename as per above, then _02 as it was the second (actually third) edit of the photo that I'd tried.

@moocher - was that aimed at me? I meant I accidentally voted for the wrong person, so I edited my post and voted for @ifrik. i think you added in when @King_Saxlingham and @Bearlegged voted at the same time (I guess) earlier.

And now looks like we have a tie break, so for @TomAndJerry to decide...

Advice I saw recently was to use an eye-make-up brush. I have to say, I have been struggling to buy one though, waiting until I'm home from holiday and was thinking of ordering on amazon or something. This was the thread I was reading: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54989335 - I particularly liked the analogy of a dirty sensor being liked a dirty windscreen on a car :-D
