Im running out of ideas to name folders. Especially ones that are final versions of photos that exist in another folder. I'm using words like Done, Finished, Final, and Stuff I Like, Stuff printed, Printed at Blacks...etc..I need new name suggestions. What do u name your folders?

I use tags and colored buttons with ACR to identify what stage the processing is. I name the folders for the particular area or shoot. There's only one folder that's important to me, Portfolio with the original RAW file TIFFS, PSD and JPEG.

I do. :D

\Month_year\Event

If print or edit, the new folder goes into the same ones:

\Month_year\Event\Edits
\Month_year\Event\prints

I still sort everything...so, whatever photos are in the Event, I keep them all. The rejected ones are deleted the same day after download.
