Found the suggestion of Digital Asset Management for Photographers in a thread on dpreview asking about management of 10,000 family images. I don’t have quite that many family pictures, but I do have a fair collection of my own, and I’m working to set up a workflow of some sort, currently using iview/captureone/photoshop, but would
