Photo IDs/Names
-
Use unique ID / Name for every picture released (means be shown online and/or physical).
-
Use unique ID / Name for every picture you created and not only diff with physical folder or SW path. This allows the move around or combine pictures.
-
Wether both IDs are same "released" equals "created" or you match "released" to "created" is a detail with pros and cons. I use the matching approach.
