Nope. I just name the files manually. I really don’t deal with a significant enough volume for automation to really be that much of an advantage. (We’re talking 3 or 4 images once or twice a week.)

Inspiring article! I’ve been trying to store images and have run into the same challenges. The dating system’s a great idea. Do you use Apple’s Automator application to rename the files?

Whenever I see a good foto or picture I save it in a directory. This gives me inspiring ideas when I am in need and I don’t have to go and look for a idea in the web…

Really nice article, I actually feel a fresh breeze of inspiration simply from reading your article. I hadn’t thought of doing that, I’m always bookmarking things, but actually picking up more stuff and building a portfolio of inspiration sounds like a cool idea. Thanks!

For my digital work ive got a stash folder with all cool sites i like and dont like plus any other cooler interactive links in a text file for inspiration.

i use a firefox extension called screengrab to capture the screen its really simple to use and can do teh whole page or just teh visible portion or even what you select.

Hi Jason, checkout Papprazzi for screen captures. I use it all the time to grab full shots of websites to add to my tagged up iPhoto ‘morgue file’ - only thing it doesn’t do is render flash.

I’ve defined a keyboard shortcut in my Keyboard prefs pane for Capture URL from Safari but you could add an automator workflow or applescript (with a shortcut) to speed it up even further.

FYI the labels below the fields on this form is a touch confusing!

Cheers

Great article. I’m always looking for ways to organize that which inspires me. Everyone has their own way of doing it and yours seems like a great one.

A neat app for the mac that takes scrolling screenshots of websites would be Paparazzi. It’s still free I think.
