AngusMcGonagle Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi How is it best to organise resource images in Photo? For example skies for sky replacement. At the moment they live in a Windows folder but it's not a very smart solution. Any suggestions welcome. thanks andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animals, plants, sky, water, weather, etc.) and the image files themselves are named accordingly (I.E. Moon 001, Lightning 001, etc.). I guess you could use keyword tags so you can search by keywords, but I don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions welcome. thanks andy Faststone Image Viewer is very good for organising and viewing bitmap images. you can see and find everything at a glance, perform quite a few edits or set it to launch the image straight into Photo. You can also use it to scan into as photo doesn't let you scan directly. It also has a really great contact sheet creator. Select a dozen photos and it places them on the sheet. Put borders on too if you want. http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm It's a great free program. I use it all the time. Only drawback is it doesn't view .afphoto files yet. Quote Windows PCs.

AngusMcGonagle Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thanks everyone. That makes a lot of sense. I'm new to Affinity and had found ways of organising brushes but not found anything for backgrounds or skies. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
