Just moved to a DSLR for the first time but have years of digital photos from my P&S camera. I'm not that keen on printing photos or making albums from photos (except for a very small subset).
I'd like to store all my photos in a single organised directory structure on a local PC. I'd then like to create different albums from any subset of those pictures without actually having duplicate copies of the files that take up unnecessary space. For example, if I go on holiday, I may store the entire collection of photos I took. I may create a personal holiday album which picks a selection of those photos but this album would be purely for the family. I may then want to create another holiday album which further restricts what photos are displayed as they may be ones I am happy for friends to see.
I know symlinks will allow me to create copies of photos without taking up unnecessary space but is there a bit of software that will make this easier for me to do. I like the fact that my albums are just a bunch of image files rather than needing some specific software (e.g. Google Picasa).
The storage will be on a Windows Home Server (v1) PC.
Any help or advice?
