When you take a photo, the file is given a default name by your camera. This is usually a string of numbers, which isn't very helpful when you're trying to organize your photos. You can rename your photos manually so that they're more descriptive and easier to find.
Here are a few tips for naming your photos:
- Use a consistent naming scheme. For example, you could use the date the photo was taken, the location, or the subject of the photo.
- Keep the names short, but descriptive. For example, "IMG_1234.jpg" is not very helpful, but "Eiffel_Tower_Paris.jpg" is much better.
- Use easy to remember and pronounce names. This will make it easier for you (and others) to find the photo you're looking for.
- Avoid using special characters in the file name. This can cause problems when trying to view or share the photo.
- Periodically review your photo library and rename any photos that are still using the default name.
If you follow these tips, you'll be well on your way to having a well-organized photo library.
