DPO Process

A Digital Photo Organizing Project consolidates all of your digital photos and videos into a simple, chronological folder structure, eliminates duplicates, and securely backs up your collection. You will have a complete digital collection that is easy to understand, access, maintain and protect.

Here are the steps we follow in more detail:

1. We connect to discuss your project.
2. You drop off your sources (camera memory cards, external hard drives, etc.) or provide access to online sources.
3. I gather all your photos and videos to a single location. I refer to this as your Digital Photo Hub.
4. I remove the duplicates in your collection. I look for all duplicate photos at a 100% match. I do not delete any of your photos - when I remove duplicates I move them into their own folder called "Duplicates - to be deleted", outside of your chronological folders, so you can review the items and delete them yourself.
5. I organize your photos and videos into a simple, chronological folder system based on the date the photo or video was taken.
6. I often need to correct missing or corrupt capture dates. Sometimes I can use clues within your collection to date these photos (for instance it might have come from a folder called Hawaii January 2005) and sometimes I will need your help.
7. I create a back up copy of your full collection. This may be on a second external hard drive or in an online storage site you've selected.
8. I walk you through your collection, explain how to maintain it, and answer any questions.
