I have a need to identify images in a consistent way that's easy to use - and remember - throughout my catalogue so associations between images and the purpose of different images is understood. To elaborate a little; from an original raw file I may have several variants all processed slightly differently to satisfy different needs. For example, a variant for: my eShop; baryta paper; gloss paper; Unlimited edition print; Limited edition print etc.
I'm sure these needs are not unique to myself and I'm wondering how others have satisfied them? Currently I'm using a mix of keywords(mainly), Colour labels and handwritten comments as an overlay on the image(I'm using Capture One).
Key-wording images seems like the the most powerful and flexible solution, but it can get complex very quickly resulting in key-wording mistakes and difficult boolean logic.
Thanks,
Andy
