Logical Layer - The logical layer is how I think about the photos.

To me, the logical layer is very important beause it offers a completely different way of organizing photos. By thinking logically and using well defined keywords from a controlled vocabulary scheme it becomes a lot easier to find all the photos with a specific keyword. For example, suppose I go to Australia every other year for vacation. I spend some time in Sydney and some time in Cairns. The photos I take in Australia are tagged like this: “Australia, Sydney, Vacation” and “Australia, Cairns, Vacation”. I also add other keywords that are more specific to each image. If the shot had a Kangaroo in it, it would be keyworded as such. Then, if I am looking for vacation photos, I can search by the “vacation” keyword. But if I’m looking for just Cairns vacation photos I could search for “Cairns, Vacation“. Even though the images are in separate folders they will still be found. Which is why having two separate layers makes sense to me.

Of course you probably don’t want to keyword and edit images you’re going to delete so my first step was to decide what order I am going to perform tasks in.
