When backing up images after a shoot, use the opportunity to organize and label files so
that they can be easily sorted and accessed. This should be done while the information
is still fresh in everyone’s memory. Document as many relevant details as possible,
especially when photographing multiple sites on a single trip. At minimum, save images
of a particular site in a single folder. Better yet, put sets of images of single panoramas in
separate sets of folders labeled with precise locations. Create a hierarchical system with
as many levels as needed. The individual panorama folder should reside in the folder
dedicated to the site, which should in turn be in the city folder, in the appropriate state
folder, and finally within the country folder. See section 6.3.1 for more about file and
directory naming and organization.
Organizing images immediately after a shoot also is a good opportunity to review the
results and see if any shots need to be repeated.
