When you are starting to organize photo memories, either actual photographs or digital photos, there are a few simple tips to keep the photo organization process under control.
Take a grouping of photos and remove the images that will never be used for any photomontage, video photo collage or photo scrapbook. Unwanted photos are simply out of focus, heads cut off, difficult to distinguish what is going on in the photo or they are just plain awful.
Label a large manila envelope and throw these unwanted photos in there. If you’re working with digital photo files, create a new folder on your desktop and label it unwanted photos. If you can’t throw these photos away, file them. It will cut your photo organizing time in half later on.
