rio22 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I want to open this topic because I think there are many people who have many photos and need help to organize them. In fact, I am a professional photographer who has stored his photos ia an unprofessional way until now.I recently became owner of a mac and started to transfer my pictures on it in an organized manner. The problem is that I have 3 HDDs on about 5,000 pictures made in the last four years. I would like to organize them according to the date the photos were taken in appropriately named folders (eg 25/05/2010), but taking into account the huge number of images I want to do it automatically. I do not care at all what application might do something like this (iPhoto, Bridge, Automator, Aperture or anything else), all I want is to get rid of the crazy mess of pictures of my HDDs. If you know any way, please let's talk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know any way, please let's talk! I think your best bet is doing that with Automator. A quick Google for Automator and metadata returned this page: http://automatoractions.com/files/metadatamover1.1.html If your images have metadata, this should make it easy to move it into the right folders. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
