I am just starting out with my canon digital at last..anyone any suggestions how i organise my catalogue? I do some club comp so sometimes it is good to search subject. Was thinking either excel or access with hyperlinks. Any help or suggestions welcome
 
Guess that I'm coming in short at just over 2000 stored on my external HDD, although that's probably only around half of all that I've shot in the year I've had my DSLR, so probably around 4000 altogether. :)

What software do you use for editing your pictures - I understand that Photoshop Elements for example has a reasonable indexing and retrieval setup. A little more upmarket, and Lightroom is excellent - allowing keywording, automatic grouping into collections etc. as well as photo editing and finishing options.

Lightroom has editing and an image management database built in. Elements uses bridge, which is the same image manager that Photoshop CS5 uses.
