How do you organize your porn?
- Thread starter RogueWolf
- Start date
Hello all. Long time reader first time poster here. Can anyone suggest a program (database?) to manage/organize my thousands of thumbnail pix? I'd love to be able to filter for specific attributes. When I want a blonde, redhead, small tits etc.
Thanks
Thanks
Re: A little help...
No, but you can make a map for blondes, brunettes, raven haired girls, etc.
Heck, I'm currently organising my thumbs by name (of the porn star/centerfold).
I'll give the name of 1 of my maps as an example...
Brenda Logan, Candy, Heni, Henrietta, Kathy, Katrin, Pamela
the name of 1 map.

Re: A little help...
Hmmmmmm.... I can tell you what I do as a Mac Tiger user...and the process must be the same of Windows users, but finding the software is your job...
Note: Bold words are linked to wikipedia FYI!
I only label certain models'/women's pictures (Gisele, Alessandra, Famke, my entire photography library of my own images c.5500pix). I do this by using metadata. In my OS, metadata is also called Spotlight comments. I am able to enter this metadata however I wish. I start by using, for example, UHQ or HQ or MQ or LQ, then I get more and more specific about the image description. The data is saved as part of the image.
Then, I use my OS's Spotlight/metadata searcher/reader to find any image or an group of specific images that match the words I want: ie "necklace" + "smiling".
I mentioned that because this is the future. "Folders" will be a thing of the past in a year or two for Mac users (if they aren't already) and that means eventually the same for PC users.
What I would do, if you are on a PC, is look for programs that allow you to tag metadata to images and files. (Photoshop Elements (c$99US) allows you to but it would be time consuming and only useable on images.) EXIF data is also very useful and it should also be searchable with a PC program. IPTC info is also searchable and useful and is certainly available to PC users. You would be amazed at the amount of EXIF and IPTC data images you grab from anywhere on the web have. (I've even added basic data to my sig, which you can see with the right software.
)
My point is this: If you are talking about spending serious time labelling and organizing your collection, do it in a way that can grow and stay with OS upgrades. If folders are you only option, which I can't believe is the case but I may be wrong, then good luck. But, a more precise and exact method is to tag each individual image. It took me months to get my pix done, 5-10 at a time when I had a free moment, but now I can litereally find ANY image I can think of within 2 seconds....just by typing a few words that describe what I want. That is power.

Try Nikon View as a simple starting point. It is a reasonably well made piece of software that allows you to start seeing basic photo data. It is also a reasonably good image viewer. (It's free and bundled with most Nikon D-SLRs.) It does not allow you to do the searching as I described, but it does serve as a starting point to much better systems of organization that all pro photographers use.

I have approximately two gigabytes of images which consist of about 20-25,000 files, so I need some way of organizing them (I guess I like collecting stuff, when I'm not jacking off). I use a specific way of naming the files and separate them into subdirectories. There's a "miscellaneous" directory (and another one for Japanese girls), and then there are individual directories for a few girls. I have over 500 images of Pattycake, for example, so she has a separate directory. I only have three small sets of images of Erica Campbell, so she's in the miscellaneous directory.
For girls who have their own directory, I name the file like this: 001 name 01. 001 is the number of the set, name is the girl's name and 01 is the image's number in the set. For girls without their own directory, it's name 001 01.
Screenshot
I think it's a pretty good way of keeping things in order, though I suppose the girl's name doesn't have to be in the filename if it's already in a subdirectory named after her. If there are too many sets I also make a subdirectory called 'index' where I copy the first image from each set so I can quickly browse through them. I hope that makes sense.
I think one advantage of this system is that it isn't dependent on any software, it's just Windows. Disadvantages start to occur when there's a very large number of different sets. I copied every gallery of Casey's Cam a while ago (with automated software), and I still haven't bothered to organize them because there are 228 subdirectories. If I did organize them like I've organized my other files, it would be a little tricky to find what I'm looking for amongst 228 sets. If I knew anything about programming, databases and stuff, I could make a searchable database with thumbnails and descriptions, but that's out of my league. I might just make a webpage with all sets thumbnailed in one page, but it would take a lot of effort if done manually. Would be a good way to spend the time though.
Yeah, I guess I take this shit seriously. :computer:

So porn goes in the porn folder? Makes sense.

thats just me though, i guess

I got kind of confused at first. Did someone just change my name, and where is my post?Merged with a previous topic/thread. Read from the top down, because the "new" stuff is up there.
Anyway, your post about metadata is interesting. EXIF might be a good idea, but what I really want is a way to easily browse through my files. I suppose I could tag the files and search them with some app and browse through them with some other method, like making a webpage. So far I haven't had any need for searching, and I kind of doubt I'll ever have a collection the size of Freeones.
My rep just went from 3 to 1425. That's interesting, I guess.

I use csv files and software.
A csv (comma seperated value) file is simply a listing of images (a database) that may include names, size, crc value and location of a group of pictures. Their purpose is to organize your picture collections by allowing specific software to 1)scan your directories for pictures, 2) check for correct size, 3) validate the pics authenticity (crc check) 4) sort the pics into an organized collection, and 5) present you a report of what you may or may not need to complete the collection.
A csv organizes a collection so that it will fit on a single cd, around 650 - 700 mb of data, amounting to anywhere between 1500 and 7000 pictures depending on the physical size of the pictures. Groups of pictures are collections and are usually all the pics from a particular web site. For example, all the pictures on DigitalDreamGirls.com would be a collection and at the current time there are 26 csv's for DDG.com. Meaning that if you completed all 26 collections of DDG.com, you would have all the original content from that site.
There are csv's for nearly every site on the web, which turns the simple task of saving pictures in a folder on your hard drive to a true hobby. The software also allows you to make your own csv's if you just want to organize what you have that may not be a part of any collection or may not be original pictures.

I had also asked this question waaaay back...if you want to merge it too...

How you manage your pic collections?
I was wondering how do you arrange you pics. A part to look at them of course, what's the process a pic follows from the first copy from a web to your hard drive.
I use to compile around 200.000 pics (not just babe pics) and then I begin to work on them. :crash:
They should pass around 6 steps before rest safely in the hard disk or CD.:thumbsup:
It is a question of delete the pic who I think does not deserves to go to the next step.
Finally the survivors go to different folders like, Best face, best body, best leg, best tits, hardcore, etc. Of course one folder is called To be identified by the Freeones friends. Other folder tree belong to the stars with a huge number of pics, like Anetta Keys, Sandy aka Vega Vixen, Tera Patrick etc.
When all the process is finished I realise that during that time I also compiled more than 1.500.000pics...:eek:
The objective is a hot way to loose my priceless time and have a clear top 50 babes.

Re: How you manage your pic collections?
Being a covert perv, I can't really save them to my pc for any extended petiod of time. So I find the ones I like, save them to a temp. folder, then upload them to yahoo Photos.
Yahoo Photos is compleaty free and has unlimited space. You can seperate your collection into differant folders, and even share pics with friends. :nanner:

I would save pics and videos to my HD or since I have a few blank CD-R CD's and I try and save of the pics to them as a data CD and write on this disc with sharpie so I know what CD is what. You know trying to not take up to my space on my HD, now I've recently just started to print make my own custom lables to put on the disc to sort them out better. Just like now I have a christina model CD and there is none in existance but there is now thanx to my little space saver.
Usually, I just sort them by the individual girls and then in those folders, I divide the scenes by websites or movies.
i go onto the internet for pics....they dont necessarily do it for me....but vids work great for me...i have about 13 gigs worth of porn videos on this computer....its old so i gotta find some good use for this.....i have em sorted by what kinda scene it is
fuck
bj/hj
solo strip
lez
FFM

when i saved all my stuff i had a pic and vid folder
then in each i would have categories
-anal, fuck, dildo/toy, solo, bj, hj, pornstar(HC), tits, celebs(SC), etc
then i would put sets in folders inside of whatever category they would go under
....Yes, i am an accounting major, lol
