File organization that saves hours
Most editing time is lost not in editing but in searching. A naming system fixes that.
A simple system
Name files by project, version and state: "catalog_v03_retouched.psd". Keep originals in a folder that is never edited. One folder per delivery. It sounds boring until the day it saves your project.
Frequently asked questions
How many versions to keep?
Keep every milestone: raw, corrected, retouched, delivery. Delete only intermediates.
