I’ve just released a big new third edition of my book Take Control of Your Digital Photos! It was last updated in 2019, and as you can imagine, the photography field has changed quite a bit in the last four years. Heck, photography has changed a lot in the last TEN years, which is when (almost to the month) we published the first edition of the book.
And yet, we’re still drowning in photos, even more than ever. Fortunately, many new and different methods of dealing with the flood can help you keep your head above water. Don’t like assigning keywords to photos? Machine learning technologies can do it for you, as with the utilities Excire Foto and ON1 Photo Keyword AI, or you can rely on what some apps, like Apple Photos and Lightroom desktop, come up with on their own when you perform a search. Do you feel like you’ll never get ahead of reviewing your images to find the great photos nestled in the pile? This book will help.
“After 20 years of struggling to stay on top of family photos I now have an effective workflow, tagging strategy, and storage. I’m back in love with photography thanks to your eBook.”
Tony Stevenson
Most of all, Take Control of Your Digital Photos gives you a plan and clear workflows for organizing your photo library in a sensible way that respects your time and effort. The book makes it easier to find your best images for editing or sharing with friends and family—or just for you to enjoy the photos you worked so hard to capture! I’ve added entirely new sections on coming up with a workflow, working with multiple photo libraries, scanning for metadata, and more.
Take Control of Your Digital Photos is available now as a 184 page ebook—that’s 20 new pages of content since the last edition, even after removing a few outdated sections—for just $14.99. If you own an earlier version, log in to your Take Control account for special upgrade pricing of just $5!
