Hi,
I run PSE 2024 under Windows 11 and have several thousand images to be archived. The work has begun but I need confirmation that my approach is optimal. I have read the reports of how users loose their data often following corruption of enormous catalogue files. My approach has been to work with smaller folders and catalogues in the following way:
1. My laptop has limited memory so I decided to save my images to an external flash card.
2. I created folders on this card for each year from 1960 and transfered the images accordingly.
3. I imported the images to PSE in batches of 10 years with a catalogue for each 10 yr. period. I sorted and tagged each batch.
4. I created backups of the sd card as my work progressed.
I have now catalogued about 25% of my images and am asking whether this strategy would appear to be optimal before continuing.
