STEP 4 : Finding/Organizing Your Photos

Everyone's system for organizing photos (or not organizing them 😉) is unique. We all have different habits, devices, cloud services, etc. I would love to give each of you step by step instructions on how to move your photos to the correct place, have them sorted and ready to import, but it's nearly impossible to cover all the scenarios. Instead, I hope to equip you with various tools available to you.
Please reach out if you have questions specific to your situation.
