The problem is organizing and finding what you want once you have it.
Read on for an interesting way to create a digital "idea library" on your Mac with a fairly inexpensive piece of software.

I'm officially old school. and i doubt i'll ever use a program for it.
a) i'm sadly still a pc user, can't afford a mac these days
b) good old folders is way easier for me. i have them labeled the way i need them and my self feed scanner makes it 100 times easier.
I'll just batch scan images all at once and then sort them in a basic image viewing program, but that just moves them into the appropriate folders.
old school it is for me! could be worse, could be like when i used to have folders and folders in my file cabinet of images and articles ripped out of magazines! hahaha..
good post none the less.
